Members may like to know that Blackheath Station will be closed with no train services for all 4 days over the Easter period, Good Friday 29 March to Easter Monday 1 April 2013 due to engineering works. This hasn't had much local publicity - there are now posters at the station however, and more information is available on the southeastern website.

BVRG — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:56:00 +0000

The Conservatoire, which has for over 130 years provided music and arts teaching and courses for all ages, has a funding crisis.

In their own words: "We must raise £175,000 by the end of February or we risk having to close in August, before our new plan can take effect.A £75,000 Challenge Donor Fund has been generously pledged by a group of local donors. To claim it, we must match those funds through donations from supporters like you".

Lewisham Parking Consultation

BVRG — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 12:00:00 +0000

Lewisham Council is currently reviewing all aspects of parking in the borough.

The current parking arrangements have been in place for ten years and the review aims, in the words of the Council, "to meet the demands of the growth of Lewisham motorists expected in the future, and ensure parking in the borough is redesigned to meet these challenges".
The evaluation will consider such issues as:
• Residents, visitors and business parking
• Parking arrangements such as deliveries and fairer access for carers
• Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs)
• Parking permits and payments

The Council has opened a public consultation which will run until 5pm on Friday 28th September 2012.
The results of the consultation will be analysed during Autumn 2012 and considered in January 2013. Any substantive parking policy changes are likely to be implemented from April 2013.

You can take part by clicking the link below:

All respondents who provide their contact details will also be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win £250 worth of high street vouchers.
