Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - January 29th 2025 by CommunityMattersMedia

Celebrating Race Equality Week

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is joining workplaces across the country to support Race Equality Week.

The national movement takes place from 3 to 9 February, uniting organisations to address the barriers to race equality in the workplace.

Alongside internal events for staff, the council are encouraging local organisations to join the 560 who have already signed our Equality and Equity charter. The charter represents a commitment to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across the borough. Recent signatories include The World Reimagined, Thamesmead Community Choir and Community Empowerment and Support Initiatives UK.

The recipients of all 67 of the Council’s Voluntary and Community sector grants from 2023 to 2027 have also pledged to sign the charter.

Councillor Sandra Bauer, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities said: “This year’s Race Equality Week theme is ‘Every Action Counts’. Every positive action we take, big or small, is a step towards reaching true equality and equity. Race equality is everyone’s responsibility and throughout the week activities are on offer to council staff to learn more about challenging race inequality.

“The council’s Equality and Equity Charter outlines our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and how we promote these values. We’re also in the process of developing our new anti-racism strategy.

“If, like us, your organisation is committed to making Royal Greenwich a welcoming, inclusive and safe place for all, sign our Equality and Equity charter this Race Equality Week.”

As well as supporting Race Equality Week, the council’s Black History 365 (BH365) event programme recognises and celebrates Black history all year round. See the full calendar of BH365 events at royalgreenwich.gov.uk/ events/bh365

The Royal Observatory Greenwich celebrates 350th anniversary

It was the first state-funded, purpose-built scientific institution in Britain; senior curator Louise Devoy gives an insight into its history

The year 2025 marks 350 years since the foundation of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

The Royal Observatory was established by Charles II to make life-saving astronomical observations that could help navigators at sea determine their longitude (east-west position). It was the first state-funded, purpose-built scientific institution in Britain.

Louise Devoy, senior curator at Royal Observatory Greenwich, explains: “The Observatory was built in 1675 and designed by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke.

“Wren and others initially considered possible sites in Chelsea and Hyde Park but they eventually chose the site in Greenwich because it was royal land and essentially free.

“On a practical level, the hilltop site offered good views of the horizon to see the stars and, at that time, was away from the smoky skies of London. Being close to the river offered a convenient way for the new Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, to travel into London to attend Court or meetings of the Royal Society.”

The Astronomer Royal was initially charged with producing accurate star maps that would help sailors determine their location at sea.

Louise continues: “For the first two centuries, the work of the Observatory was mainly focused on providing astronomical information for navigators at sea. From the mid-1800s, however, the work of the site became more relevant to the nation as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was distributed to the public via the time-ball, telegraph signals and later radio signals.

“The scientific remit of the site also expanded to include other scientific

subjects such as collecting weather data, measuring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field and recording the appearance of sunspots.

“By the early 1900s, the site was becoming less suitable for observing due to the polluted skies and so the Observatory started to relocate to a new site at Herstmonceux in East Sussex in 1948.”

The historic observatory site became part of the National Maritime Museum in the 1950s.

As an astrophysicist-turned historian of science, Louise is passionate about sharing stories from the history of astronomy and has worked in Greenwich since 2013.

“I’m fascinated to learn more about how scientific ideas have changed over time and to explore the stories of the men and women who made it happen,” she says.

Of stories that often surprise people about the Observatory, Louise explains how it was a family home as well as a place of high-level scientific activity.

“Each successive Astronomer Royal lived here with his wife, children, pets and servants, providing us with a unique snapshot of daily life at various points over the past

three centuries,” she says.

Similarly, the Observatory has so many connections beyond astronomy: “If you’re a fan of architectural history, then you’ll appreciate the Baroque-style of Flamsteed House, while local history buffs will be interested in the site’s links with the cable industry at Enderby Wharf and St Alfege Church.

“For train enthusiasts, we have the Shepherd Motor Clock that was an essential part of the use of GMT across the growing railway network in the 1850s, while those interested in military history will appreciate the site’s association with the Admiralty and the testing of marine chronometers from the 1820s to the Second World War.”

The Observatory also played a role in solving the “longitude problem”.

Louise says that, during the 1600s, new trading routes started to open between Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Mariners could use the Sun and North Star to work out their latitude (northsouth) position relative to the equator but trying to measure their longitude (east-west position) was more difficult as there’s no natural zero line.

She explains: “Astronomers realised that mariners could measure their position using their time difference,

given that the Earth rotates through 15 degrees of longitude every hour.

“One option was to use the Moon as a celestial clock while another was to take a clock set to ‘home time’ to provide a comparison to their local time. Both techniques required more advanced astronomy, mathematics and technology, the most famous example being John Harrison’s marine timekeeper, ‘H4’.

“The Observatory played a key role in all these developments and became the defining location of the Prime Meridian of the World and the origin of Universal Time in 1884.”

To celebrate, the Royal Observatory is planning to mark the anniversary with a series of events across the year.

There is a particular focus around the months of March and August to commemorate two key moments: the first is the appointment of the Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, in March 1675 and the second is the laying of the Observatory’s foundation stone in August 1675.

“For me personally, I’m looking forward to Friday 28 March when we will be hosting a unique discussion and film screening event in our Planetarium,” says Louise.

And adds: “Our goal is to celebrate

the pioneering women who began working at Greenwich and other observatories in Australia and the United States from the 1880s.

“As the first generation of female professional astronomers, they faced many challenges and social barriers, but their perseverance paid off and we continue to reply on their work in modern astrophysics today.”

Of being a part of the Observatory’s 350-year history and all these celebrations, Louise says it is “a real privilege to work here”.

She says: “We’re very dependent on knowing our exact time and location for so many everyday tasks, whether it’s catching a train, using a credit card or checking the weather. It’s easy to overlook the fact that countless astronomers, mathematicians, engineers worked at the Observatory and elsewhere to give us time and coordinate systems that could make these tasks possible.

“Celebrating our 350th anniversary in 2025 is a great way to honour their work and I’m honoured to be part of the team here that will shed light onto these incredible achievements.”

Patch (Patrick) Hyde, owner of Greenwich Market’s The Fudge Patch, creates vegan fudge in interesting flavours.

He isn’t sure if he was “particularly interested in making fudge at the start”. He got a job in a fudge shop when he was 16, “I mean, would you rather sell fudge or clean pots in a kitchen,” he asks.

It was a fun way to make a few quid, he says – “plus, I fancied a girl who already worked there”.

Patch says: “Over time, I realised I was quite good at making fudge and anything you’re good at as a kid you gravitate to. After a few years pretending I wanted to be an actor, I realised I was far happier when I was ‘resting’, i.e, making fudge.

“So, I committed to the idea of being a fudge maker. Now, it’s now, I guess.”

Patch worked his way up at the Fudge Kitchen from his teenage years through his acting pursuits – “they paid for me to go up to the Edinburgh Festival every year, we even did a couple of shows in their shop in Edinburgh” –

The Fudge Patch

The Greenwich Market trader talks converting people into fudge lovers

and he became operations manager in charge of all of the stores.

“It was great,” he says. “But I was out of London loads and never saw my wife. I spent a lot of time writing emails and not making fudge.

“So I chose a simpler life of having one small shop in town where I could come home every night

and spend more time playing with sugar rather than spreadsheets. And it worked, except having a business is definitely not simple.”

When it came to creating his own fudge, he “sort of, accidentally, made vegan fudge”, he says.

Patch explains: “It’s very simple we just swap the cream for rice milk. It’s

a bit harder to work and get to set but it is our job, and we do it every day, so we’ll take that one for the team.

“We make it vegan simply because the cream in traditional fudge curdles and gives a slight ‘off’ taste and powdery texture and, in trying to eliminate those inherent problems, we made vegan fudge.”

Everything is also made my hand. The impact this has on the fudge is that, “no questions, the texture is smoother”, Patch explains. The smoother the texture, the cleaner the flavour, he adds.

At The Fudge Patch, you’ll find lots of innovative flavours on rotation –at Greenwich Market and available online – including Sherbet Lemon, Salted Caramel, Mint Chocolate, Rhubarb and Custard, Apple Pie, Creamy Coffee, and lots more.

But how does Patch come up with them? “I eat a lot of cake as research,” he says.

And do you have a personal favourite flavour? Why?

When asking his favourite flavour, Patch says he is “fickle” and his favourite changes a lot.

“I mean I have a lot of fudge to choose from,” he explains. “But at the moment it’s probably Cinnamon Swirl.”

When it comes to the favoured flavour of customers, it is the Chocolate Sea Salt “by a mile”, says Patch –

“because everyone loves chocolate”.

Occasionally, customers will say, “gross, that’s sweet”, says Patch. But very rarely.

He explains that most people are “surprised how pronounced the

flavours are and how delicious it is”.

Patch adds: “Lots of people believe they don’t like fudge because they’ve only had rubbish fudge in past and we aim to pull the scales from their eyes. Every day someone will say they

didn’t like fudge till they tried ours.”

Of trading at Greenwich Market, Patch says it is great to be a part of the market community: “You don’t feel alone in the scary world of running a business.”

He adds: “There are also many things to love about Greenwich; the park, the history, the vibrancy. I personally love that if you walk from Greenwich Station to Cutty Sark DLR, you can visit around 13 pubs without ever having to walk back on yourself. Now that’s class.”

Flu and COVID-19 vaccines reduce your risk of serious illness if you are over 65, or pregnant, or have a pre-existing medical condition

Information from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for our residents

DELIVERING POSITIVE CHANGE: DRAFT BUDGET FOR 2025 TO 2026 UNVEILED BOOSTING WELLBEING HUBS, FIXING POTHOLES AND INVESTING IN COMMUNITY ENERGY

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is in a strong position compared to councils across the UK, however, we continue to feel the significant impact of 14 years of underfunding.

Last year, we had to make difficult but essential decisions to achieve £33.7 million in savings, ensuring that we remain a wellmanaged council capable of adapting to increasing challenges.

As a result of these tough choices, our draft budget for 2025–2026, subject to approval on 26 February, includes further investments to enhance our services.

We’re proposing investments of £11 million to enhance services for children and young people, £20 million to improve care for older adults and those with complex needs, increased funding to fill potholes and £200,000 to build on the work of opening Emotional Wellbeing Hubs for children and young people.

To achieve our mission while maintaining financial stability and high-quality services, we are faced with the difficult decision to raise Council Tax by 4.99%.

Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “Our draft budget serves as a stark reminder of the financial realities created by decades of underfunding. This damage cannot be undone overnight, but we’re picking up the pieces through smart investments, sensible decisions and reimagining the way we deliver our services - we will continue to work with central government to secure fair, long-term funding for all councils.

“The good news is that we’ve received a better financial settlement this year, which will help us continue improving services. We’ve also been successful in finding innovative ways to reduce the costs of temporary accommodation, which have been crippling other councils.”

Councillor Denise Hyland, Cabinet Member for Finance, Resources and Social Value, said: “Thanks to difficult decisions made last year, we can invest where it truly counts - into our communities and our future. We have listened to what residents want and are keeping our focus on maintaining high services across the board, such as investing in our parks and creating a greener borough as well as making our streets safer and transforming our children’s adventure play centres.

“This couldn’t have been accomplished without a thorough review of our services to ensure we continue delivering excellent value for money without compromising the vision we have for our borough.”

Walk to The Valley before watching the Addicks take on Stevenage

Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) are pleased to share details about this season’s Greener Game Walk, which will take place ahead of the men’s first-team’s fixture against Stevenage on Saturday, February 8th (kick-off 12:30pm).

The Greener Game Walk is a walk to The Valley which encourages people to engage in active travel - leaving the car behind and picking up a healthy habit instead. Addicks of all ages are welcome to join in to reduce their carbon footprint. However, participants would need to be able to walk approximately three-miles.

The walk will begin at Oxleas Woods Café, before passing Charlton Lido and Charlton House. It will end at The Valley an hour before kick-off. Upon arrival at The Valley, all walkers will receive a free match ticket, which will be distributed by walk leaders.

You can join the walk at any of the following stops:

10am: The Oxleas Woods Café (SE18 3JA) (meet at 9.45am for a prompt start)

11am: Charlton Lido (SE18 4LX)

11:15am: Charlton House (SE7 8RE)

The walk will then conclude at The Valley (SE7 8BL) at around 11:30am. The walk coincides

with the men’s first-team’s Greener Game themed matchday, which promotes environmental awareness as part of the club’s ongoing commitment to avoiding and minimising any negative impacts on the environment.

The Greener Game Walk is organised by Greenwich Get Walking, which is commissioned by the Royal Borough and delivered by CACT.

Scan the QR code to sign up for the walk, and please note that the registration deadline is Wednesday, February 5th.

A boundary walk in the 19th century

In the past I have seen

versions

I had intended to write about Garden Stairs this week and was busy researching them. I had come across several, most of which seemed to consist of Thames Waterman and steam ferry operators scoring points off each other - and then, suddenly

I came across a boundary walk which I had never seen before.

It had lots of industrial sites in it so I thought I would do that instead of Garden Stairs. It’s quite long and I think it will take several weeks to do.

So it’s 9:00 o’clock in the morning on the 29th of May 1851. It’s a Thursday and we are standing outside St Alfege’s parish church.

The group consists of the church wardens - they are the equivalent in the 1850s of the local councillors - and all the parish officers. There is also the Reverend North, who was the minister of Trinity Churchthat’s the church that used to be on Blackheath Hill. I don’t know why the Greenwich Vicar wasn’t there.

Soon after 9:00 o’clock they set off to walk down Church Street to Garden Stairs. They went down Brewhouse Lane, the Gallery, to Wood Wharf. In today’s terms that means they walked down Church Street through Cutty Sark Gardens to the River at Garden Stairs, which are just by Greenwich Pier. Then they turned left to go upriver and walked up what is still called Thames Street to Wood Wharf. Today this just another block of flats but it has got a big sign on it saying ‘Wood Wharf’. At the same time we have to remember that the

parish boundary is actually out in the middle of the River. So in order to get it right they were accompanied by a waterman in his boat on the River paralleling them as they walk on.

They encircle ‘a portion of Mr Joyce’s premises’. I don’t know if people remember have read my various writings about William Joyce and his engine works, which was in Norway Street, and his shipbuilding yard which was on Norway Wharf. I did an article here about him a couple of years ago and also a very detailed article about his whole career for the Greenwich Historical Society’s Journal.

The report constantly says that they are going ‘through the wharf’, which I think means they were following the Greenwich boundary along the riverside. So basically they must have been walking along what is now the riverside walk - now called Dreadnought Walk. Of course in those days it would have been a working area and no doubt they had to dodge all sorts of activities – and also to have permission to be there.

Next they go through ‘Mr Tuckwell’s premises now called Norway Wharf’. Norway Wharf was at the end of Norway Street and is now roughly where the Sail Loft pub is. Mr Tuckwell had a general wharfage business there from the 1840s and from reports they were dealing with what appears to be some extremely heavy objects - ‘a boiler of seven tons’... ‘an immense block of granite’. However in the mid-1850s he began building iron ships and in 1856 launched a steam ship for work on French rivers.

The next wharf going up river from Norway Wharf was later called Dreadnought Wharf but not as early as the 1850s. The report says they went through premises ”formerly Messrs. Martyrs - now occupied by the Patent Fuel Company”. Thomas Martyr was well known locally and operated a timber business, but I don’t know if that is what he used the wharf for. The Patent Fuel Company worked on several sites in the area – but they cannot have been on this site for very long. They

Mary Mills

had a process for making what we would call ‘briquettes’ - blocks of fuel made from unwanted small pieces of coal – and I suspect all sorts of other rubbish, which they didn’t admit to.

They then ‘Proceeded to the river wall at the rear of the gas works’. The Phoenix Gas Works was on the large site on the south bank of Deptford Creek at the point where it joins the Thames. They supplied gas to a wide area locally and it was, by the standards of 1851, a substantial works. It’s not mentioned in the itinerary except here and I take it therefore that they did not go through the gasworks but round the back of it. Perhaps they did not get permission to go through and their silence on the subject may be significant. However they went “next into Mr Burford’s premises called Phoenix Wharf’. I’m a bit confused by this because the gas works was owned by ‘the Phoenix Gas Co’ and the gasworks was on ‘Phoenix Wharf’. I also have no idea who Mr Burford was.

Arriving at the gasworks marks the point at which the procession turned south and began to go up the Greenwich bank of Deptford Creek. The next site mentioned is Mr

Walton’s. He was a coal merchant with a site on Creek Bridge Wharf.

Then procession gathered on the centre of Creek Bridge and gave ‘three cheers for the Queen and the Parish of Greenwich’. So far so good.

They continue up the Greenwich bank of Deptford Creek. This to us is Norman Road but in the 1850s the Creekside road north of the railway was called “Ravensbourne Street”. First they came to the wharf which we know as ‘Brewery Wharf’ or ‘Priors wharf’. It is the one wharf still a workplace on the Creek and is currently used by Euromix Concrete. The procession got there ‘passing through the Mason’s yard now Mrs Jarman’s’. Mrs Jarman was running a business as a general contractor following her husband’s death.

Next they went ”to the premises known as the Copperas Wharf”.

The Greenwich Copperas works, owned by the the Pearson family, had closed by the 1830s and in the 1850s the site was seen as a dangerous and unpleasant place. Within the next few years housing would be built here and coal wharves operated on the Creekside. The

Rennie boiler works was already at work on part of the site.

The procession continued “Thence onward through Mr Hargrave’s garden”. This was Joshua Hargrave and the site is shown on the 1840s tithe map as a collection of small holdings described as ‘market gardens - a meadow - and sheds. Joshua Hargrave was the freeholder and a local dignitary. The area is now all housing but once had two gas holders on it.

They arrived at the railway bridge having crossed ’the Railway Wharf’ which once lay alongside it. This is the London and Greenwich Railway and a very important railway that everybody in Greenwich should be proud of. It is one of the earliest railways in the world - or what we think of as a railway - that is a powered locomotive running a set route on rails. It first opened from London Bridge to Deptford in 1836. Getting the railway across the Creek was a problem. A fixed bridge needed consent from all Creek users -and there was no chance of that happening. In fact injunctions were already flying about to stop them building anything at all.

It was eventually decided to build a drawbridge – the first on any railway in England - and then they had to sort out the machinery. It was finished towards the end of 1838 and is said to have made a loud clanking noise which could be heard at both Deptford and Greenwich Stations. It had two arches, one of which included a drawbridge which could be opened in the middle by a complicated arrangement of pulleys and counterweights which took eight men to move taking nearly an hour. It had to observe the principle of ‘sail before steam’. This requirement to lift the bridge for any boat on the Creek was in the Railway Company’s Act of Parliament and it was a criminal offence not to raise it.

When the procession got to the railway bridge they were looking for

boundary marks which had been recently renewed. Clearly the bridge they were looking at is not the one there now. The present bridge with its towering, but now unused, lifting structure dates only from the 1960s. I assume the boundary marks were on the abutments rather than the bridge itself. Or maybe on some of the structure out in the middle of the Creek. What remains of the original bridge has been very much studied and assessed for possible listing, but I doubt that part of that process includes an investigation into any possible boundary marks.

Arriving at the railway bridge the procession had done a tiny section of its route round fhe Greenwich boundary – but I hope an interesting section. It had a very long way still to go.

Information from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for our residents

KEY PROPOSALS FOR 2025-2026:

• Launching a £1 million Community Energy Fund: We are proposing a £1million investment towards our co-operative vision ‘Together for Greenwich’, making it easier to create businesses that are owned and run by its members, who share profits and decision-making equally. As part of this, we will be launching a Community Energy Fund, to provide grants to local projects that help us reach our goal of being a carbon neutral borough.

• £820,000 into improving adventure play centres: already invested £1 million in modernising play areas, including refurbishing playgrounds and upgrading sports facilities. With this new investment, we will be reviewing our adventure play centres and launching a public consultation to discuss any changes to reflect the needs of families in our community.

• Maryon Wilson Park: In addition to the investments and improvements we will be making to adventure play centres across the borough, we will also be taking steps to begin the closure of Maryon Wilson Animal Park. We’ll give the community time to submit a plan to run Maryon Wilson independently, alternatively we will look into allowing the Riding School for the Disabled to use the site.

• £150,000 to help transform the way our libraries are run: We recognise the importance of libraries in our communities. Royal Greenwich has 13 libraries, one of the highest numbers in London. While some of our libraries with lower footfall will likely see adjusted opening hours, we are also looking to introduce new technology, allowing others to remain open without staff on specific days. A public consultation will be held to discuss these changes to reflect the needs of our residents.

• £680,000 to create more sustainable streets: We’re listening to our communities who raised concerns about safety on our roads. Sustainable streets are a practical way we can make our streets safer and greener.

• Social care and housing support: Like every other council, we’re experiencing growing demand for social care, temporary accommodation, and support for those struggling to make ends meet. While we are working hard to reduce costs, particularly in temporary accommodation, we know there may be more difficult decisions to make in the future, including increasing some fees where funding falls short of demand.

• Council Tax and services: We understand that it is a difficult time to be asking for more, however, we have made the difficult decision to raise Council Tax to ensure we can continue protecting services that residents rely on. Following a consultation, we are also changing how we support residents with their Council Tax bills. We know that many residents will be concerned about the upcoming changes, so we will use our Discretionary Hardship Fund to ensure that no resident is left behind during the transition, and we will continue to offer face-to-face advice for those who need it.

If you’re worried about the cost of living crisis, you can visit our in-person Advice Hubs at community centres across the borough: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/advicehubs

You must be eligible for the size of property and bids will be considered in the following order:

First Band A, followed by Band B1/B2 both in priority date order. Those in Band C will then be considered in registration date order.

Please note that there will still be some properties with age restrictions so only people of this age group can apply for these.

A is for applicants in unsatisfactory housing, including people moving due to demolition and those under occupying their homes.

B1 or B2 is for applicants the Royal Borough of Greenwich must prioritise according to the law, particularly homeless people, and others with an urgent need to move for medical or welfare reasons.

C is for all applicants on the housing register, including those that are in priority bands A and B1/B2.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOMES ADVERTISED IN ISSUE

MOVE TO A SMALLER

If your property is now too big for you, you can apply for the Small is Beautiful scheme.

To be eligible, your current property must:

• be a council or housing association property

• have 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms

• be in the Royal Borough of Greenwich

The scheme can help you move to a smaller home that better meets your needs. We can then use your property to help another family who need it. For example, those in an overcrowded property or who are homeless.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

We’ll help you with costs and finding a new home that better meets your needs.

Financial benefits

We’ll pay:

• £1,000 for each spare room you give up

• an extra £500 if you downsize by mutual exchange

• your moving costs

• your disturbance costs, for example, for packing, disconnecting and reconnecting your appliances

The next printed edition of Greenwich Homes will be available on 12 February 2025 at midday. The closing date for all applications for this issue is midnight on 2 February 2025.

SEASIDE & COUNTRY SCHEME

ALL households can bid for all types of property subject to meeting the bedroom size and any medical requirements.

This scheme offers one and two bedroom flats and bungalows on the Coast and in the countryside, in the South East and West of England. In order to be considered you must be:

• A Council or Housing Association tenant

• At least 55 years old. If you intend to add a household member under the age of 55 they must be either your spouse, current joint tenant, registered carer or dependent adult child.

Your removal costs will be met if you are a Council tenant and you do move to a Seaside and Country home.

To register, or find out more about the scheme, contact the Access and Allocation section on: 020 8921 2941.

If you are a Housing Association tenant you need to contact your landlord to register. Further information is available from the scheme management organisation at housingmoves.org

Priority to find a new home

We’ll put your household in the highest priority band on the housing register so you can find a new home as soon as possible.

An Under Occupation Adviser will support you throughout the downsizing process.

Extra support for households with adult children

If you have non-dependant adult children living with you, we can offer them their own flat, if we can get a bedroom back. This means you and your adult child will each get a one-bedroom flat.

Extra support for older tenants

If you’re Pension Credit age you can downsize to a home with one extra bedroom to allow for caring or support needs.

We can visit you and support you with everything you need to downsize.

WHO CAN APPLY

You can apply if you’re under-occupying your home by at least one bedroom.

When we decide if a tenant is under-occupying, we count a second living room (or parlour) as a bedroom.

APPLY

Email: Housing-Allocations-Downsizi@ royalgreenwich.gov.uk

If you’re 55 or over, you could also consider moving to the seaside or countryside.

This could be for you if you’re:

• in poor health

• struggling to cope in your current home

• keen to move nearer to friends, family or amenities

You can also contact us if you know other tenants who might benefit from this scheme.
