The following community announcements were made.
Civic awards – Peter Frost from Southwark’s civic association explained that the awards recognised anyone who had done good work in the borough. Application forms could be requested from the clerk or forms could be completed on line at the civic association’s website. There would be an awards ceremony in May and the closing date for applications was the end of January.
Supporting choices web pages - James McConnell outlined that new adult social care web pages had been developed to help people live well and safe in the borough. The aim was for people to find all the information they needed to meet their needs in one place. The site had been user tested by a variety of audiences and was very accessible. People could use the site for things like finding out about community events or finding a volunteer for maintenance. If people were unsure about using the internet there were free internet courses available at local libraries.
Linda Upton from the SNT announced that Charlie Griggs had been appointed as Borough Commander.
