EditorialSavings hit hospitalstaff where it hurts

EARLIER THIS MONTH the Newsreported a big black hole in the King’sCollege Hospital budget for this year,

with £86million needing to be found downthe back of the sofa by March to stay in theblack. When pressed to say where these savingswould be made, the Trust told us it wouldrenegotiate contracts and replace costly agencystaff with a permanent workforce and staff wererelieved to hear there were no plans to makeswathes of redundancies or pay cuts. There is more than one way to skin a catthough, as has been demonstrated by the newsthis week that staff parking permits are going togo up by a whopping 50 percent. A senior member of staff wrote to the Head ofSecurity, who announced the increase, and saidnurses whose morale is already at an “all-timelow” have been further demoralised by the newsthat they will be taxed for turning up to work. With staff shortages as one of the main reasonswhy the hospital is paying out exorbitant agencyfees, does it really want to drive awayoverworked staff by kicking them when they aredown? It’s hard to imagine how the Trust could avoid£86million of savings impacting its staff in someway but with pay rises stuck well belowinflation – hitting them directly in the wallet isunderstandably being taken as an insult to thecommitment they have shown under duress. This is likely to be one of manyannouncements coming out of the hospital aswe begin to see the detail of where these savingsare going to be made and who will suffer as aresult.

LIB DEM COUNCILLOR, HamishMcCallum, is right to describeSouthwark Council’s approach to

storing confidential information as “deeplyworrying.”As reported in this week’s paper, the councilhas been rapped on the knuckles by its ownAudit and Governance Committee for itslackadaisical attitude towards privatedocuments. This includes everything from leaving filingcupboards unlocked to not clearing desks ofprivate information at the end of the workingday. Most worrying was the warning that there wasa “risk of children’s information being lost ormisappropriated” due to careless officemanagement in the Children’s Servicesdepartment. Council staff were not leaving documents onpark benches or dropping USB sticks out oftheir Tooley Street HQ windows, so it may betempting for some council staff to think of theaudit review as a storm in a tea cup. But, just like CRB checks or any procedureessential to the running of a responsible council -careless storage of confidential informationshould not be excused simply because it has notyet led to an incident – especially when itconcerns our most vulnerable residents. This is the second time in as many years thecouncil has been warned on the matter – unlessthey’ve misplaced last year’s report, of course!

TROTTERS INDEPENDENTTrading could become a reality whenPeckham gets its first ‘charcuteriebar’ in September. Serious Pig has already developed arange of tasty pork products for pubsnacking after founders George Rice andJonny Bradshaw found there was not asausage in their local. Their high-end snacking salamis arestocked by Fortnum and Mason amongothers but it was craft beer revolutionary,James Watt, cofounder of BrewDog, whosaved their bacon when he invested intheir Peck – ham bar. George and Jonny hit their £125,000

target on the fundraising websiteCrowdbnk and now have enough to taketheir cured piggy to market. The Serious Pig HQ, which willprobably not be named after DelBoy’sbusiness in Only Fools & Horses, will beLondon’s first bar dedicated to the humblepig. ‘Boss Hog’, George, says he is “thrilled”about the new venture and the new porkproducts they have in development. Like all good ideas, Serious Pig wasborne out of a chat in the pub with thecompany up and running on a ham-stringthe very next day. Since its inception in 2011, the boyshave sold nearly one million snackingsalamis and will now be stocked inBrewDog bars up and down the country.

SOUTHWARK COUNCILhas beenwarned for the second consecutiveyear about the way it stores“confidential information” in itsTooley Street offices – especially thatregarding the borough’s vulnerablechildren.After an internal review by members ofSouthwark Council’s Audit andGovernance Committee, staff werewarned about “unlocked cupboards anddesks containing client, finance andemployee-related documents.” Desks were also not being properlycleared at the end of the workingday and communal storage areaswere also being left open despitecontaining confidentialinformation. The report statedthat this constituted a“risk of children’sin format ionbeing lost or

misappropriated.” Lib Dem councillor Hamish McCallum,a reserve member of the Audit andGovernance Committee, described thesituation as “deeply worrying.” He said: “This data is highly sensitive.How does the Labour council keep lettingit happen year after year? It is notacceptable that the council is putting someof our most vulnerable young residents atrisk like this. It is also putting the councilat risk of a fine for potential data protectionbreaches.”

While no data protectionbreaches had taken place nordocuments gone missing,the report also stated that thecouncil had not taken onboard suggestions from therisk assessment the previousyear. Following this year’srisk assessment, a councilspokesman said:“Suggestions from the riskassessment will be taken onboard.”

COP A LOAD OF THIS...Dancing policeman bringsbusy Peckham to a halt

TRAFFIC CAME to astandstill on Peckham's mainthoroughfare last week as aman dressed as an Americanpolice officer started dancingin the street.Nathan Brown, of online videochannel Trollstation, pulled upoutside Shu-Time in Rye Laneon Tuesday in an American 'copcar' shouting on the loudspeaker:“We're the police, we're here toprotect and serve the streets ofLondon....Obama said comedown and protect the streets...that's what we do..”The prankster then blastedmusic out of the car whilerapping to the gathering crowds

and busting some moves sodangerous they should be illegal.Speaking to the News, Nathan,who lives in north London, said:“I just want to entertain and bringhappiness to the world. When wemake people smile, that’s what Ilove the most,” said the 24-year-old, who has been withTrollstation since it was set up afew years ago. Although Nathan does not livein the area, a lot of his friends doand he admits south London has“ a very strong community”where they can just “have funand make people smile.”

Following a year of controversyin the USA where a number ofblack citizens have been shotdead by white police officers,Brown's lyrics took an unusualpolitical stance as he said: “Theboys in blue yeah we're back andif you're black 'blap blap' in yourback. Yeah, we roll around and ifwe see you , we hold youdown...” before he danced hisway in front of the number 37bus to Putney Heath shouting“you can't arrest me, I'll arrestyou.”In May, Brown and his partnerin crime, ‘Disco Boy’, wheeled aset of speakers and disco lightsinto Walworth police station fora party in their shorts to “showsome love to the police.”Both videos can be viewed atwww.southwarknews.co.uk

BERMONDSEY

A BALD Eagle ruffled a fewfeathers last week after escapingfrom a film set and landing on theroof of a Bermondsey councilblock - not something you seeaviary day!Eagle-eyed residents were shockedto see the majestic bird, which isindigenous to North America, restingatop Cornick House in Gataker Streetfor much of August 19.Jane Daly, one of many residents toflock to the scene, said she “couldn’tbelieve it”. She said: “I heard the crows goingmad this morning and thought theywere just annoyed with a seagull.When I came outside and looked up Icouldn’t believe the size of it. There’sbeen a big crowd of people watching itall day. I’ve never seen anything likethis here before.”The trained eagle, which had a wing

span of over six feet, is believed tohave escaped from a film set in StGeorge’s Field sometime during themorning. Luckily, residents were all a-Twitter and the buzz on social mediaalerted the handler to its location. He arrived during the afternoon andmanaged to tempt the bird down off itsperch with the help of a tasty treat. Itsoared into the adjacent SouthwarkPark where it was reunited with itsrelieved handler. Residents, however, weren’t quiteready to say bye, bye birdie andgathered around the eagle to takeselfies. The silver-screen celebrity wasclearly a veteran of such press junketsand delighted its fans with a fewminutes of its time.Elizabeth Badru said: “I was justwalking home and saw this! I saw thefilm crew driving around thismorning, they must have been lookingfor the bird. I can’t believe this!”Eventually, however, the talon-edthespian was needed on set and, to thedismay of its adoring fans, it was timeto wing its way back to work.

MORE Rotherhithe residentshave spoken up against theproposed site for the new CanadaWater leisure centre – withcouncil leader Peter John alsocoming under fire for “trying toshut down discussion” on thematter. Last week, the News spoke to SurreyQuays residents who were furiouslyopposing plans to possibly build on a“green haven” to the west of theshopping centre car park.This week, more residents joined thefurore – this time those living by thecurrent Seven Islands Leisure Centrein Lower Road who say that thecurrent site should instead berefurbished. Tom Holder, who lives by the centre,told the News: “The current centre iswell-used and well-liked. It’s locatedon the corner of two rows of old,three-storey houses – there areobvious fears of what might replacethe centre and how it will affect thearea.“The current site, which is in a sortof U-shape, also has a lot of empty,unused space in the middle which

could be developed. Why don’t thecouncil seem to be properlyconsidering refurbishing SevenIslands instead of moving it?”

Southwark Lib Dems have alsowaded into the row, with councillorAnood Al-Samerai claiming thatcouncil leader Peter John has been

“trying to shut down discussion” -citing his online response to the Newsarticle last week. After reading the article outlining the

concerns of worried residents,councillor John commented onTwitter: “So let’s cancel the leisurecentre?” She said that it was “absolutelydisgusting” how he had responded togenuine concerns of residents with aflippant remark. “Obviously we knowthat there is a need for a new leisurecentre or a refurbished centre in thearea, but residents must be listened toand cannot be dismissed. It seems likehe is trying to shut down discussion,”said Cllr Al-Samerai.Council Leader Peter John outrightrejected these allegations. He said: “Anew leisure centre at Canada Water isat the heart of the exciting plans forthe area, which will also deliver newhomes and a new town centre forresidents in Bermondsey andRotherhithe. “Of course we will engage andconsult with local residents to ensurewe get the plans right, but ultimatelyour commitment is to provide a newleisure centre with top qualityfacilities for local people.”The Lib Dems have also submitted aFreedom of Information request to thecouncil after asking “for months”without reply whether it was safe tobuild a centre over the East LondonLine tunnel.

ONE IN three children inSouthwark is not ready to startschool, according to a new report byPublic Health England.The figures released this month showthat 65.6 per cent of the borough’s under-fives have the basic skills needed to starttheir education – like speaking, readingand behaving appropriately. Public Health England produced the‘Improving school readiness’ report totry and encourage local authorities tospend more money on early yearsdevelopment as children classed as notschool ready, often go on to strugglethroughout their education.Cllr Victoria Mills, Southwark’scabinet member for children andschools, said the borough is the sixth bestperforming in London for early yearsdevelopment and provisional figures forthis year indicate the percentage ofchildren who are school ready has goneup to 70 percent. “Southwark Council is continuing tosupport early years’ settings to improve

the quality of their education andchildcare, and to give more childrenaccess to free early years’ provision at anearlier age. More than 1,000 two year oldchildren in Southwark are currentlyreceiving a free place, and we expect thisto help improve school readiness,” shesaid.Southwark is out-performing theLondon average of just 62 percent ofchildren ready for school and thenational average of just over 60 percent. Lewisham is the best performingLondon borough with 75.3 percent ofchildren school ready, with the worstbeing Hillingdon at 52.5 percent. In June, London Mayoral hopefulTessa Jowell told the News she was“shocked” that more than a thousandfive-year-olds in Southwark “failed toachieve the expected level ofdevelopment” against the Government’sEarly Years Foundational Stageframework. “We should all be shockedand galvanised to action by these figures,which tell a story too many Southwarkchildren beginning on a path that willtake them to a lifetime of inequality anddenied opportunity,” said Dame Tessa.

RESIDENTS LIVING nearBricklayer’s Arms have welcomedthe news that the “eyesore” flyovermay be demolished by as early as2020.Transport for London’s head ofplanning Andrew Hiley recently said thatthe removal of the flyover could becompleted “at the earliest inapproximately five years.” Raul Peschiera, who lives parallel to theflyover on Searles Road, said that Hiley’scomments were “great news.”He said: “The flyover is well past its duedate. It would be great if it happened,

although we have heard these plansbefore and it would be a huge job. Livingthere doesn’t benefit us, it allows cars togain speed which also adds to the noise.“They are interesting plans and TfL aremaking right-sounding noises. But it is amajor artery in London and there is noother nearby road which could take theslack. Maybe they could make a tunnel -that would benefit everyone, although itwould cost a lot.”Residents, however, are in outrightopposition to proposals by independentdevelopers to introduce illuminatedadvertising boards at the roundabout.Raul said: “No one wants it, it won’tlook good and will take away from oneof the only green spaces in the area.”

Southwark Council are currently in“dispute” with TfL about ownership ofland at the Bricklayers, according toCouncillor Mark Williams, SouthwarkCabinet Member for Regeneration andNew Homes. He said: “The roundaboutand flyover are in the Old Kent Road

opportunity area, and we are consultingwith residents about what developmentwill happen across this whole area.”He added that the planning applicationfor an advertising scheme will bedetermined “through the normal planningprocess.”

Southwark Council hasrecently granted planningpermission to convert the topfloor of the building next toMoncrieff Place - which housesSports Direct on the ground floor– into a gym. The applicant, MeteorInvestments, has requested a newcustomer entrance be placedright where Yassine’s stallcurrently stands – meaning hewould have to move half way upMoncrieff Place towards thecinema and away from the busythoroughfare.

The application states this isnecessary to make the shopfrontvisible and provide disabledaccess to the facilities. “I’m really worried about myincome in the future,” saidYassine, who has started apetition to object to his pitchbeing moved. “I’ve got a wife and threechildren and I’m supporting mymum – what is going to happennow? I’m so worried,” he said. Yassine and fellow stall holder,Elaine Carrigan, who sits on theRye Lane Traders Association,are now gathering as muchsupport as they can before hiscase goes before SouthwarkCouncil’s licensing committeeon September 1. Within a week of starting the

petition outside his stall, Yassinehad already collected a thousandsignatures and says he has beenoverwhelmed by the support hehas had from the localcommunity.“It feels so good that peoplehave been so supportive,” saidYassine, who is hoping thelicensing committee willoverturn the decision of aplanning officer whorecommended the stall be movedas it would present an“inconvenient partial obstructionto gym users.”To sign Yassine Melki’s onlinepetition, visithttps://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/retain-the-market-stall-pitch-at-moncrieff-place-in-peckham

HOSPITAL WORKERS havelabelled a 50 percent hike instaff parking charges“outrageous” as it was revealedthe Trust’s top boss was paid aquarter of a million quid lastyear. A senior staff member said shewas planning to boycott the King’sCollege Hospital Trust carparksafter the Head of Securityannounced plans to increase thecost of staff parking by hundreds ofpounds a year in some cases. In an email to senior hospitalmanagement seen by the News, thesenior staff member, said the“levy” on “staff working tirelesslythroughout the night and at

weekends” could not have come ata worse time. “With morale across the Trust atan all-time low, particularlyamongst midwifery and nursingstaff, this certainly does not placeany value on us from seniormanagement,” read the angryemail.“Levying this increase on yourstaff who are working tirelesslythroughout the night and atweekends, often without adequatebreaks, leaves many of us feelingdemoralised,” it continued. The News reported earlier thismonth that King’s needs to findsavings of £86 million by March inorder to recover from a £47millionrecorded deficit last year. Theincrease in staff parking charges,which will take effect fromOctober 1, is just one way the Trustis trying to stay in the black, along

with employing less costly agencystaff. Speaking to the News, thehospital’s Unite unionrepresentative Frank Wood, said:“King’s staff are workingextremely hard and many have hada pay freeze for five years. Nowbeing asked to bear such asignificant extra cost will meangenuine hardship for manyessential staff. The trust is

effectively taxing its own staff todo their job.” A spokesperson for King’s said:“The cost of providing safe andsecure car parking at our hospitalshas increased significantly inrecent years. As a result, werecently took the difficult decisionto increase the price of staffparking permits across all our sites. “Higher demand for parking hasresulted in the need for an

increased security presence, andthe installation of additionalequipment. In the past, the Trusthas absorbed these extra costs, butwe are no longer in a position to doso. “For staff on our Denmark Hillsite, this is the first price rise intwelve years.”There are no proposed changes toparking charges for visitors orpatients.

STUDENTS WERE jumpingfor joy as they opened theirbrown envelopes containing theGCSE results they had beenwaiting for at Sacred HeartCatholic School in Camberwell. But a handful effected by thenational change to grade markingboundaries were “devastated,”according to headteacher SergeCefai. Despite “outstanding” results inmost subject areas, a change to theway English and Maths are markedmeant some students were awardedpoorer grades than they wereexpecting. “To raise the grade boundarieswithout telling schools is not fair onthe children,” said Mr Cefai. “I’mdelighted with the overall results butI was expecting more,” he said ofthe school’s 75 percent of studentsachieving at least five A* to Csincluding English and Maths.

Mr Cefai has been at the helm formore than twenty years and believespeople from his generation need to“stop harking back to a time whenthey think it was more difficult.“Everyone who passes in this dayand age deserves a pat on the back,along with the teachers,” he said. Carolina Lopes was aiming for anA in English, but was awarded a B.“I was hoping English would behigher because I tried really hard. IfI could go back in time I would tryeven harder,” said the aspiringGraphic Designer who alsoachieved five A*s , two As andanother B. Mark Siraut got three A*s, five Asand a C but said he felt disappointedafter receiving an A in history whenhe had previously always achievedA*s. “I’m not happy with theboundaries. I appreciate they haveto change sometimes but this hasbeen ridiculous,” he said. John Vu said he studied three to

four hours every day outside ofschool to get his six A*s and four Asso he can achieve his dream ofbeing a heart surgeon. “I was tryingto aim for the best. It’s good trainingnow to work hard. I think my familyare going to be really happy,” hesaid.

Students at Ark’s WalworthAcademy are aiming high afterthey achieved sets of strongGCSE results last week. Following in his nurse grandma’sfootsteps, Steeve Senyo wants to

study medicine atCambridge. “I didn't realiseI could achieve so much untilI started to work hard,” saidSteeve of the four As and four Bshe received. “I feel really proud,”he said. Nejat Fikret is hoping his gradeswill secure him a brighter futurethan the life his Cypriot parentshad growing up in poor farmingfamilies when they were not ableto finish secondary school. “It really limited their prospectslater on,” said Nejat, who achievedan A, seven Bs and a C in hisGCSEs. “Only three members of myfamily have gone to university andonly one of them did what hereally wanted to do. I want tochange that,” he added. Lilly Lu-zheng wants to studymaths at a top university afterbagging two A*s, two As and fiveBs at GCSE. “I really like workingwith numbers, because they’re so

straightforward. I’m aiming forRussell Group universitiesbecause they’ve got such goodreputations for maths, so my firstchoice is Warwick or ImperialCollege London,” she said. Yvonne Powell, Principal atWalworth Academy, said theresults achieved by students atWalworth Academy, including 48percent of students achieving atleast five A* to C grades, were a“testament to the hard work, highexpectations and determination ofall our students and staff”.“What our results show is theabsolutely stunning progress thatstudents make here betweenjoining in year seven and takingtheir exams,” she said.

Two new apprenticeship schemes to blaze a trailASPIRING CONSTRUCTIONworkers in Southwark havereceived a boost after twonew apprenticeshipschemes in bricklaying andplastering were approvedby the government. The two new schemes will bedeveloped by the Federation ofMaster Builders (FMB), who arehelping promote the‘Trailblazers’ programme whichsees employers group togetherto prioritise apprenticeships. Brian Berry, chief executive ofthe FMB, said: “We’redetermined that the newconstruction apprenticeshipstandards reflect the needs ofboth large and small employerswhich is why we’re leading theway in developing two newstandards for bricklaying and

plastering. “These standards will bedriven by a group of small andmedium-sized enterpriseemployers and will require theapprentice to learn generalskills as well as their specialisttrade. “We’ve likened our approachto developing these trailblazersto an American universitydegree where you have a coresubject and a “major” in aparticular discipline – in ourcase, apprentices will become“Master Builders” with a majorin either bricklaying orplastering.”He added that the FMB werecommitted to working with thegovernment on improving thequality and quantity ofapprenticeships.

He said: “The government’starget to achieve three millionnew apprenticeships over thelifetime of this Parliament is anambitious one but while strivingto get there, we must nevercompromise on quality. “That’s why it’s great that theTrailblazer programme isemployer-led – our membersare really enthused by the ideathat they will have a hand indeveloping two newapprenticeship standards whichwill be used by the whole of theconstruction industry. It’s a bigresponsibility but one they arerelishing.”

Please keep ourcemetries cleanTHANK YOU for printing theletter about Camberwell OldCemetery.It is true, as the letter says, it is aforgotten cemetery. My brother and I were thereyesterday (Wednesday, August12) as my husband, parents andgrandparents are buried there. I myself am now 86-years-oldand my brother and I still gothere regularly to keep the gravesclean and tidy. We have seen dogs runningaround with no leads on and theowners strolling around. As soonas the dog does what it wants todo on goes the lead and out theygo. We thought that when theystarted to clear along the lefthand side to make new graveshow nice it all began to look.Suddenly, all work stopped.. Surely someone should haveenough common sense to stopand wait until the grass growsagain.While there, we also walkedover to where people wereprotesting about it being cleared. We thought it looked disgustingand think Southwark Councilshould do what they say theywant to do because it is acemetery after all. I am also an animal lover butthat does not mean I want toclean the mess off my familygraves which I have done in thepast. So come on SouthwarkCouncil, wake up and dosomething for this lovely oldcemetery and for people to

respect the cemeteries. After all,we will all be in there one day.Mrs J Peck, Nunhead

Housing crisis iscomplex problemIF YOU have tried to buy oreven rent a property in thisarea, then I am sure youknow how hard it is to findsomething you want and canafford.The problem is easy to definebut the solution is more complex.Development negotiations aretaking too long, rules don'tincentivise construction and land(often owned by TfL, GLA, NHSor local councils) is not beingmade available. If we are to solve this problemwe need to be more ambitious. If Londoners are to get thehomes they need then we need toincentivise developers to build onland they own, open up publicsector land for development anddesign homes local people wantto live in such as thosechampioned by the organisationCreate Streets.We also need to look at newways to buy a home, such as rentto buy or shared ownershipschemes or community landtrusts.We need to listen to whatdevelopers, councils and yourreaders have to say in 2015 if weare to meet the demands ofLondoners, who want a home oftheir own.Syed Kamall, MEP for London

Stop and Searchis effective tacticA DRAMATIC rise instabbings is due to thereduction in Stop and Searchchecks on youths. Despite this, Home Secretary,Theresa May, is still threateningto reduce Stop and Search furtherwhile Metropolitan PoliceCommissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe sends confusing messagesto his officersby saying thereshould be an increase in targetedsearches amid a near two percentjump in teenage knife crime inLondon in the last year andconcerns over a recent spate ofvicious attacks in Southwark. Sir Bernard said that over the lastthree months there had been arise in stabbings and that had ledto a review of Stop and Search -if we are getting to the stagewhere people think they cancarry knives with impunity thatcan’t be good for anyone. Stop and Search is a reasonabletactic when used in the right way.There is an argument for moreuse of Stop and Search focusedon high knife crime areas andtargeting gangs.Activists argue that there is noevidence to support the view thatthere is any correlation betweenthe number of searchesundertaken and stabbings. Yet one thing is clear, the victimswho have died of stabbingswould be alive today if theirattackers had been searched anddisarmed before reaching theirvictims.Reg O’Donoghue

Across Southwark thousands ofyoung people have by nowreceived their GCSE, AS and A

level results – an exciting andsometimes nail biting time! I hope thateveryone achieved the results that youhoped for. Southwark’s schools have beentransformed since the election of the 1997Labour government whose investment,together with the hard work of teachers,pupils, governors, parents and mypredecessor Dame Tessa Jowell, deliveredfour new secondary schools in myconstituency. It is testament in part to the confidencelocal parents now have in our schools thatfamilies who might otherwise have movedout of London for school places arechoosing to stay, but this, combined with anincrease in the birth rate, means that there ispressure on school places.Both the previous coalition and the Torygovernment have delivered too little toolate on school places. It is hugelyproblematic that Councils have theresponsibility for providing a place forevery child that needs one, but cannotdeliver new schools or direct the location ofnew Free Schools to the areas of greatestneed.Parents campaigned hard for a newsecondary school on the Dulwich Hospitalsite and I’m delighted that the CharterSchool was approved by the government todeliver it. There is a tight timetable toensure that the school can open intemporary accommodation in September2016 and I’m currently pressing thegovernment to give the school full supportto ensure that it stays on track. The Free Schools programme isinefficient, bureaucratic and wasteful. Weneed a coherent approach to school placeplanning, new powers for Councils todeliver new schools and a consistentapproach to admissions criteria. The failureof the Tories and Lib Dems to deliver thismust not turn our children’s right to anexcellent education into a lottery.

Invest more money in cycling, not spin

DONNACHADHMcCARTHYDonnachadh McCarthy is the founder of 3 Acorns Eco-audits (www.3acorns.co.uk) andwww.nationalcarbonfootprintday.org. His home inCamberwell was London's first carbon-negative home.

Southwark Council sometimesoutdoes New Labour’s mostgifted spin-doctors.

Take the council’s latest (third) u-turnon cycling. Five years ago they bannedall new protected cycle lanes. Sixmonths later, when Southwark Newschallenged them that they wantedcyclists to slow the traffic down, theyannounced their first u-turn and said thatwithin 4 years a comprehensive cyclenetwork would be built. Five years laternot a single protected route has beenbuilt. Last month after energeticcampaigning by Stop Killing Cyclists,they announced another new dawn forcycling with the launch of the council’sCycling Strategy. To be fair, thisdocument was significantly better thanthe useless draft strategy sent out forpublic consultation. However, the twobig exciting announcements were a £30million fund to be invested bySouthwark in cycling and a commitmentto protected cycle routes on all roadsover 20mph. Smelling a rat, I lookedinto these in detail. It turned outSouthwark was including the £28.5million being spent by Boris Johnson onnew superhighways and quiet routes inthe borough in their figures. The truthwas a pathetic £0.5 million is to be spentby the borough itself each year. This isnot enough to bring even one majorjunction up to Dutch safety standards. The supposed promise for protectedcycle routes on all roads with over20mph limit was also pure spin. AsSouthwark has adopted a 20mph speedlimit across the borough i.e. it has NOroads over 20mph!Meanwhile, despite Stop KillingCyclists recently staging a major Die-Inprotest at Camberwell Green, where yetanother cyclist, Esther Hartsilver, washorrifically killed, the Council’s leaderCllr Peter John, has not even replied totheir email listing actions the council hastaken over the last 5 years makingCamberwell more dangerous forcycling. Even worse, the Council hasrefused to include protected left-hand-turns in new proposals for the Green. One new largely unprotected cycleroute with a sexy name (the SouthwarkSpine) is a small step in the rightdirection but the carnage, deadlypollution and obesity epidemic onSouthwark’s streets requires real moneyto be invested not just spin-doctoring.

promoting schemes which tend to elevatethem physically, intellectually andmorally.”These were ambitious aims and thegroup quickly set to work. Whileprogress wasn’t rapid, the charity slowlybut surely grew in reach and impact. Small gestures and events – such asproviding 500 south London childrenwith a special Christmas treat, or puttingon “lantern lectures” for women in the

evenings – went a long way inestablishing the group in the community. A mother’s club was formed, as was a“crippled boot-making shop.” Despitebeing damaged by a WW2 bombing raid,the settlement continued to grow andbegan to move away from their ‘womenand children first’ mentality. The groupexpanded into helping all residents,regardless of sex or age, and wasrenamed the Blackfriars Settlement.As the 20th century rolled on, theinfluence of the settlement grew. Thesheltered workshops had gained a“distinguished tradition” for producinghigh-quality rugs, and the youth clubswere seen as one of the major reasons fora 60 percent decrease in juvenile crimeduring 1974.That same year, the charity’s directorJim Radford explained how theBlackfriars Settlement had expandedbeyond improving people’s lives, tohaving people join together to improvetheir own communities.

He said: “The purpose of a settlementis to encourage and enable people tomove towards a vision of a caring,sharing society, to bring about themaximum involvement of the group,neighbourhood or community in solvingthe problems that concern them.”They began to work with unions, TRAsand protestors, helping provide supportand advice, and soon moved to a morespacious headquarters in RushworthStreet. While over a century has passed, thesettlement aspires today to the sameambitions of its trailblazing founders: tohelp vulnerable people live their liveswith as much confidence, control and joyas possible.

MUM DOESN’T like havingSunday roasts out as she alwaysfinds something lacking in them,whether it’s the potatoes beingcontinually reheated, and not verynice, or the cabbage stewed to withinan inch of its life, so I suggested shechose something from the normalmenu when we found ourselves inThe Ship in Rotherhithe on Sundayafternoon, writes Michael Holland...Molly, the smiling bartender, poured aFosters for Mum and a Special for meand directed us to a table that affordedviews out into St Marychurch Street orinto the garden, or, indeed, just to sit andwatch the others in the pub quietlyenjoying their Sunday with a drink and aread of a paper.Caroline, the hostess who made a pointof having a friendly chat with everyonewho was there, came and talked usthrough the various roasts and SundaySpecials, and, lo and behold, Mum wentfor the roast beef! I, though, wasimmediately attracted to the boiled baconand called it on. As soon as Caroline

walked away Mum said, ‘Oooh, I thinkI’ll have the boiled bacon as well.’ I toldher she could have mine and I’ll have herroast dinner.The Ship is a very homely pub whereyou can sit comfortably as jazz playsquietly in the background. In one snuglittle corner there is even a sofa andbookcase. There are board games to playand in the garden toys for the children.Some windowsills hold books to helpyou solve difficult crossword puzzles.The Ship is a place for peaceful repose.

For Mum it was a place for people-watching. She also espied dinners beingtaken to other diners out in the garden.‘They’re huge!’ she claimed.Our meals were ceremoniously broughtout: Molly with a tray of gravy andparsley sauce, and Caroline with the twodinners. Mum took one look at the crispyroast potatoes, fresh cabbage and chunksof beef and said, ‘That’s mine!’I looked at the slabs of boiled bacon laidover a mound of mash and thought,‘Good!’‘Ouch!’ went Mum as she burnt herfingers on the hot plate. ‘Ten out of tenfor the hot plate,’ she added. Whatfollowed was a running commentary asshe systematically went through the highpoints of her dinner; the gravy andcabbage getting high praise, with moreacclaim going to a roast potato that burnther mouth towards the end: ‘How aboutthat,’ she began. ‘They’re still red hot!’Mum obviously has a thing abouttemperature.I quietly went about my business on theother side of the table, working my waythrough the delicious meat and veg. Thesauce made it all rather exceptional but,try as I might, I could not finish the dinneroff. Mum was the same. We sat for awhile to allow the meal to digest a little,with one eye on the dessert menu. Aftera decent interval Caroline returned to tellMum about the customers’ dessertfavourites, thereby luring her into aSpotted Dick and custard. The otherlocal favourite was the Bread & ButterPudding and custard, which I opted for.They arrived with their own custardjugs, which was a nice touch, and weresuperb. My Bread & Butter Puddingwas an individual pudding and not alump scooped out of a bigger piece, andit always amazes me how something sosimply made can taste so good.We really were done in now, so finishedoff with a hot beverage each, my teacoming in a pot so the cup could bereplenished. Nice.The Ship is just about perfect for a lazySunday afternoon.

MILLWALL SEASONticket holderswill get in for free on Sunday when astart studded Arsenal Ladies side facethe Lionesses in the Continental Cupat The Den at 2pm. Both teams endured disappointing resultsin the FA Women’s Super League last

weekend with the Lionesses going down5-0 to promotion favourites DoncasterBelles.Millwall gave away soft goals againstDoncaster, and manager Dan Mlinar willbe looking for a big improvementdefensively on Sunday. Both teams are looking to progress out ofthe group stages to the quarter finals of thetournament, and this match providesMillwall fans with the chance to see howfar the Women’s game has come.Dionne Lennon will skipper a young anddeveloping side from the legendaryMillwall Girl’s Centre of Excellence, whichproduced three of the England team whichwon bronze medals at the recent WorldCup in Canada.

FISHER PICKED up a leaguepoint on Saturday when theytravelled to Lordswood FC beforea deluge of rain on Monday washedout their contest against Erith Townat Champion Hill.The 0-0 draw means that the Black andWhites now have a win, draw and a lossto their name having completed threeleague fixtures.

At the weekend the visitors playedlarge portions of the game on the frontfoot but they were unable to turn thatdominance into goals.The best chances of the game fell toMax Rothwell and Luke Haidarovic butby the end of the ninety minutes bothsides had to settle for a share of thespoils.The result leaves Fisher in mid table in

the Southern Counties Football Leagueand is a respectable start considering thehigh turnover of playing personnel thissummer.On Monday Erith Town were due tocome to East Dulwich to take on Fisherbut the Champion Hill pitch did not passa midday inspection, so the game waspostponed.Having made an early exit from the FA

Cup Fisher are back in league action thisSaturday when they travel to Hollands& Blair. The game kicks off at 3pm.Two days later they are back in leagueaction again when Beckenham Towncome to Champion Hill.

STANSFELD GOT their new KentCounty Premier League campaign offto a winning start with a 2-0 awayvictory at Staplehurst & MonarchsUnited.It wasn't until 75 minutes when thedeadlock was finally broken and inevitablyit was last season’s top scorer Billy Shinnerswho opened his account for the newcampaign. The Stansfeld striker buried a close rangeshot, after the Staplehurst keeper had spilledthe ball at his feet to gift him the chance.The result was put beyond doubt on 85minutes when last season’s joint-player ofthe year Sam Ryan, playing in his first gamesince breaking his collar bone in lastseason’s Bill Manklow Cup Final, linkedup well with Shinners before curling a shotinto the bottom right hand corner of the net.

MILLWALL 0Date: Saturday 22nd AugustAttendance: 3,382Man of the match: Jordan ArcherReferee: Richard Clark

MILLWALL’S PLAYERS hadMonday off but after claimingtheir first clean sheet of theseason last weekend attentionon Tuesday morning wouldquickly have turned to gettinga first home win too.This was the Lions’ last everleague visit to Glanford Park asScunthorpe are building a new12,000-seater stadium and it wasalso a case of out with the old andin with the new on the pitch forMillwall as David Forde madeway for Jordan Archer who madehis league debut for the club.Despite Forde conceding ninegoals in the first three leaguegames of the season this was still abold call by manager Neil Harrisand underlined that he is willing to

follow up the strong words whenhe questioned the players’characters in the defeat to Barnsleythe previous Tuesday with strongactions when it is required.It could, of course, not haveworked out as well as it did andthough that wouldn’t havenecessarily proved it was a wrongdecision it took about six minutesfor the call to look inspired.It’s tempting to think Forde, 35,would not have been able to springso quickly to his left to divertPaddy Madden’s low shot aroundthe post after the striker had beenput through one-on-one with the22-year-old goalkeeper.Archer had to deal with a numberof awkward situations - includingScott laird’s half-volley from 30yards in the first half that heelected to punch away - before,according to Harris, he saved his

best for last when he tippedMadden’s header from a couple ofyards onto the bar in injury-time. He was fortunate earlier whenKevin van Veen smashed a shot offthe woodwork and then whenMadden hit his spot-kick over afterMark Beevers had fouled GaryMcSheffrey in the box.But in his two Millwallperformances so far Archer hasdemonstrated enough of his shot-stopping ability to reassure that hiswas an astute free transfer signing.Harris’ formation was the othermajor pre-match talking point ashe switched from his favoured 4-4-2 to to a three-man midfield andthree up front.As well as keeping Scunthorpe’sback three guessing as FredOnyedinma, Lee Gregory andSteve Morison often inter-changedit also allowed Ben Thompson to

get forward from midfield and onthis evidence his first seniorcompetitive goal isn’t far away. The 19-year-old went close tobreaking the deadlock just afterhalf-time only to see his shot fizzjust wide of Joe Anyon’s right-hand post with the keeper beatenbut with his striking ability he willstart scoring goals the more oftenhe finds himself in those kinds ofpositions. After Madden’s miss the Lionsmight have won it when Morisonshot from inside the box but theball cannoned wide off the nearpost.After getting the response hewanted following three successivedefeats the next objective will beto put a stop to any talk of homehoodoos when Dean Saunders’Chesterfield visit The Den thisweekend.

Defender believesLeague Onestandard betterthan people think

NNEELLSSOONNRREEJJEECCTTSSDDEENNFFEEAARRSS

SID NELSON dismisses anysuggestions Millwall feel pressureplaying at The Den, and believesthe run of three successivedefeats before the draw atScunthorpe will turn out to be a“blip” in the context of theirseason.Nelson, 19, partnered MarkBeevers in the centre of defence asthe Lions bounced back to claim afirst clean sheet of the season atGlanford Park last weekend and saysthat performance is more of abarometer of the level of the squad. “We just have to take it game bygame” Nelson said. “In my opinionit was a blip last week. We got a goodresult up at Scunthorpe and a goodclean sheet and we just have to goagain.

“The boys have felt good this weekafter that result. “I think the whole teamperformance last Saturday was muchbetter, much more organised and youcan’t ask for more as a defender.”Nelson won’t turn 20 until NewYear’s Day but has already captainedMillwall and his manager Neil Harrissaid after Saturday’s game that hewill wear the armband again longerterm. But for the moment he wants toimprove by playing beside his moreexperienced colleagues, and get usedto the more frenetic pace of LeagueOne. Nelson explained: “I like playingwith Beevs, we had a little run goingthe back end of last season but I’mstill learning my trade.“Whoever I’m playing alongsideI’m learning off, and it helps that I getalong with Beevs really well.

“I think in the Championship theopposition will keep the ball forlonger periods and then, bang, they’llgo. “In League One, it’s back and forth,back and forth, and you get so muchpressure put on you.“But you have to be able to dealwith that. I think the standard hasbeen a lot better in this division thanwhat people thought it would be.“I think a lot of people thought thatafter coming down to League Onethat it would be easy for us but interms of the standard there hasn’tbeen a whole lot of difference. “Paddy Madden was sharp onSaturday but Hendo (DariusHenderson), who I trained with herewhen I was younger, he was ahandful. He’s a big boy and likes tothrow the elbows about!“But that’s something I learnt lastseason, you’ve got to know who

you’re coming up against. I haven’tplayed against a lot of these guysbefore so I’ve got to know theirstrengths and weaknesses.”Nelson also believe his naturalattributes suit the style of play Harrisis attempting to impose on the side.“I like playing a high line,” Nelsonsaid. “At the back end of last seasonme and Beevs kept a high line and Ithought it was quite successful. “The way I am I try to be theorganiser on the pitch. At the end ofthe day it’s about getting your lineright and getting cover around. “For me I’m not as physical assome of the other lads, I’m stillyoung. So if I’m playing too deepI’ve got to come and attackeverything and the strikers can pinme in.“If I hold a high line and the ballgets put in behind I feel like I’ve gotthe pace to cover.”

LEE GREGORY believesMillwall fans have yet to see thebest of him this season.Gregory, who celebrated his 27thbirthday on Wednesday, was thetop scorer for the Lions last seasonfollowing his switch from non-league Halifax Town.He opened his account thiscampaign with a penalty winner atShrewsbury Town in the first gameof the season, but missed from thespot after just four minutes in the4-0 defeat to Coventry.Gregory started as part of a three-man attack in the scoreless draw atScunthorpe and he is hoping to getback on the goal trail againstChesterfield this weekend. “On a personal level myperformances haven’t been as goodas what they should be,” headmitted. “I’m just putting thatdown to just getting back into it. “They haven’t been up to thelevel that they were towards theend of last season. I missed a lot ofpre-season so it could be that.“I’ve had a few niggles here andthere but I’m not trying to blameanything. I just need to step up mygame, I know that, and hopefullyon Saturday I can go and nick agoal and we’ll go on and win.”After three defeats in a row at TheDen this season, Gregory wants tosend Lions fans home in a happiermood this weekend. He said: “I enjoyed last Saturdaya lot more than the previous twogames. The first home game wasn’tthe best game but we’ve just got toget on with it.“If we beat ourselves up too muchit’ll just affect our game later on.We just have to dust ourselvesdown and build on last weekend.“We owe it to the fans as well, weneed to put a performance in athome and I think we will thisSaturday.”

GREGORY AIMS TO RECAPTUREGOAL FORMBy John [email protected]

Southwark News, Thursday August 27, 2015 www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport MILLWALL 43

NEIL HARRIS hopes to havecentre-back Sid Nelsonavailable after he went off in thesecond half against Scunthorpewith a dead leg.If he recovers then Harris couldpick the same starting eleven thatkept a first clean sheet of the seasonagainst Mark Robins’ side. Shane Ferguson is a doubt with ahamstring injury, while Joe Martinis unlikely to feature after onlyreturning to full training onTuesday following the ankle injuryhe picked up in pre-season.Young midfielder Kris Twardek isalso continuing his rehabilitationfrom a toe injury but is still anumber of weeks away from areturn.Harris showed his tactical

flexibility last weekend when heopted for three out-and-outforwards with three in midfield atGlanford Park and he must decidewhether to continue with thatformation or revert to 4-4-2 for thevisit of Chesterfield.Dean Saunders could follow thelead of Coventry and Barnsley byplaying five in midfield,particularly if Lee Novak doesn’trecover in time after taking a bangto the head against Rochdale lastSaturday. If Novak fails to recover thenGboly Ariyibi could come into theside with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake inthe lone striker role. Chesterfield won the League Twotitle in 2013-14 and, despite sellingtop scorer Eoin Doyle to Cardiff inFebruary, finished sixth last seasonbefore losing to Preston in the play-off semi-finals. They have already faced two of

the sides that Millwall have playedthis season. They opened theirleague campaign with animpressive 3-1 win over Barnsley atProact Stadium and, like the Lions,also won 2-1 at Shrewsbury. If that’s a measure of their levelthen they will pose a serious threatto Millwall, aiming for a first homewin of the season at the fourthattempt. Both sides recorded scorelessdraws last weekend andChesterfield’s experienced full-backDan Jones believes Saunderscurrently has a formidable defenceat his disposal. He said: “We’re looking solid atthe back and Tommy Lee’s in fineform. He made some outstandingsaves against Rochdale, while IanEvatt, Sam Hird and Drew Talbotare all playing out of their skins.”Saunders added defender LiamO’Neil to the squad this week after

he signed from West Brom and theside could also include AngelMartínez, who made fourappearances for Millwall last seasonbefore being released.Harris expects the Spireites toadopt a similar strategy to otherteams that have visited The Den thisseason.He said: “They’ve made a decentstart and are another side who willwant to pass the ball, they’ll try tokeep it from us.“We’ll have to be prepared for that,that seems to be the thing for a lot ofteams against us. They’ve got somegood players, some good experiencewith Ebanks-Blake up front and(Ian) Evatt at the back. “But this week we’re focusing a loton ourselves and what we can do.”The clubs last met in League Onein February 2007 when goals fromDarren Byfield and Paul Hubertzgave Millwall a 2-1 win at home.

Neil Harris has reiterated hisdetermination that Millwallbuild their league form onpositive results at home. The Lions won just five leaguegames at The Den last season, buttwo of them came in Harris’ briefreign.The Millwall boss now wants hisside to follow up a much-improvedperformance last week with a firsthome win this season againstChesterfield. “We’ve got our first away win andwe want to get the home one asquick as we can,” he said. “We lostin extra-time against Barnet and ininjury-time at home to Barnsley.“I spoke a lot in the summer aboutthe home record, we’ve had adisappointing start but we’re strivingto build and put on goodperformances in front of our fans. “We want to start playing at a goodtempo and try to dictate games asmuch as we can at home rather thanhaving the opposition dictate thingsto us. “That’s coming and the boys arelearning. Away from home there’sprobably less pressure on us todictate the pace of the game, we canallow teams to have the ball a bitmore and be patient. “At home it’s difficult when thefans want us to have the ball all thetime. “It’s about the boys being brave inthe game-plan, fans understandingthe way the players are playing andthen we will create a lot of chancesand score goals at home. “It doesn’t have to happen in thefirst fifteen minutes of the game,we’ve got 90 minutes and it’s aboutthe boys being patient.”

The 36-year-old right-back washanded a deal until January afterproving his fitness to Neil Harrisin a number of Elite DevelopmentSquad fixtures recently.He was set to get another 90

minutes of competitive actionunder his belt last Monday butMillwall’s U21 game againstCharlton was called off at half-time due to a waterlogged pitch. Edwards’ contract expiredduring the summer but he wasgiven every chance to work hisway back to full fitness and thenews will be a boost to managerNeil Harris with options a bit lightin that area.Shaun Cummings has started allof Millwall’s league matches atright-back, while Sid Nelsonplayed there in the League Cupdefeat to Barnet.

Mahlon Romeo is anotheroption in the position havingfeatured there in pre-season but,with Fred Onyedinmapredominantly playing on theright wing, it would leave theLions short of experience on thatflank in the event of an injury toCummings.Edwards will now providequality back-up and couldchallenge for a first-team place. “All the hard work has paid offwith me signing a short-termcontract,” Edwards told the club’sofficial website. “It was alwaysgoing to be the case. I have

obviously been speaking to thegaffer over the past few monthsabout getting something that wasright for both the club and myself.“I’m just waiting to put the shirtback on, run out with the boysand try to help us with a winningstreak to push us back up thetable.“I'm fully confident. I won’t becrossing that white line with anyifs or buts. It will be a case ofsaying ‘what can I do now to helpthe team?’“There is no point looking back.That injury has gone. It’s a freshstart now and I can't wait.”
