The mayor told London Assembly members that while he would like to see the service expanded, Transport for London’s (TfL) finances are currently too constrained.

The issue was raised at Mayor’s Question Time by Tory assembly member Emma Best, who argues the move could play a crucial role in revitalising the capital’s night economy “Thursday is the new Friday for many Londoners, and the push for a Night Tube on Thursdays will only increase,” she said, before asking whether the mayor will ask the Government for the required funding.

The mayor said he was “really sympathetic” to the assembly member’s point, adding that he would keep her updated on whether it will become possible to expand the service in future.

A recent report by Ms Best, titled ‘Fixing London’s Nightlife’, pointed out that the Night Tube “only runs on just 5 out of 11 [Underground] lines, only two nights a week [Fridays and Saturdays]” The report adds: “You only have to look around the streets of Soho, the City and Canary Wharf on Thursday nights to realise just how high footfall is for many workers piling out the office and into the pubs, with many workers then taking advantage of working from home on a Friday… There is a case for extending the Night Tube to exist on a Thursday.”

Mr Khan said that since its launch in 2016, the Night Tube has boosted London’s economy by hundreds of millions of pounds. It now covers the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines, along with part of the London Overground.

“Given the success of the Night Tube,

'Thursday is the new Friday for many Londoners, and the push for a Night Tube on Thursdays will only increase' I’ve asked TfL to keep Night Tube services under review, and I’ve made it clear I’d like to see the service expanded to support the running of our city’s late-night economy when circumstances allow,” he said.

The mayor warned however that, as well as extra funding, any expansion of the service would require “complex planning”, as it would mean re-scheduling work currently carried out at night.

“The introduction of the Night Tube saw many significant changes to London Underground inspection and maintenance work, condensing what was once seven days of work into five,” he said.

“Shift patterns for this work now avoid Friday and Saturday nights and Night Tube service lines, with essential work being redirected to other areas of the network.

“So one consideration is the impact of further condensing this vital work, which used to take seven nights, into four nights, to accommodate a late night service on Thursdays.”

He added that TfL undertakes “continuous assessments” of travel patterns, but said late evening ridership on the Tube remains about 20 per cent higher on Fridays and Saturdays than on Thursdays.

The mayor was also asked about the recent resignation of his night czar, Amy Lamé, who will leave City Hall on October 31.

It is unclear whether Ms Lame will be replaced with a new night czar. A ‘London Nightlife Taskforce’ is instead expected to examine the effectiveness of the role – which currently commands a salary of

£132,000 a yea But Liberal Democrat assembly member Gareth Roberts said that if a new czar is hired, the mayor should ensure they are a “political appointee”, in order to “allow robust scrutiny by the Assembly, without fear of breaching employment law, as was a recurring problem with Ms Lamé’s appointment”.

The mayor suggested this would not be possible, as the Act of Parliament which created London’s mayoralty in 1999 limits how many of those appointees he can have at any one time – and all positions are currently filled.

Mr Khan told Mr Roberts: “I’d be more than happy for [assembly] members to lobby the Government for me to have more political appointees.”

Green Street creator to make film about roy larner - the lion of london bridge Leo Gregory, Green Street actor (left), and Roy Larner (right)

Dougie Brimson (centre left) and Roy Larner (far right) together at a recent Millwall match

EXCLUSIVE

By Herbie Russell The creaTor of the 'Green street' football hooligan movie will make a �ilm about the Millwall fan who fought off islamist terrorists during the london Bridge attack.

Roy Larner, 54, famously roared "F*ck you, I’m Millwall" as he threw punches at three knife-wielding Jihadis, saving the lives of fleeing diners, on June 3, 2017.

Dougie Brimson, a renowned screenwriter whose Green Street (2005) received critical acclaim, says “the time is right” to take Roy’s story to the big screen.

“We have very few heroes in this country these days and, as a veteran, I know a hero when I see one,” Brimson said.

Roy, known as ‘The Lion of London Bridge’, recently met with Brimson at the Black and Blue Bar, where the attack happened, to discuss the film.

Leo Gregory, who played Bovver in the critically acclaimed Green Street, will star as Roy. Despite saving the lives of countless others and almost dying from his wounds, the UK government refused to recognise Roy’s bravery.

It is widely believed that two racist incidents—one before and one after the attack—are why Roy was denied compensation or a George Medal for bravery.

Roy has apologised for his actions, which he admits were wrong, but believes he was “airbrushed” from the terrorist attack.

“Two police officers got medals… I was the one getting stabbed to pieces,” he told us in June 2022.

Police even told Roy, who suffers from PTSD, that he could be on an ‘ISIS hit list’ but still failed to provide counselling after the horrific attack.

Brimson says the film will not “shy away” from any part of Roy’s story, adding that the “injustice” of his predicament means the movie "needs to be made".

“Roy Larner is a hero. Irrespective of what else has happened, what he did that night was heroic, and that’s never been acknowledged by this country,” Brimson told us.

“Not many people know about what happened to him after. The stuff about him being warned he might be on an ISIS hit list, being placed on an anti-terror watch list, the fact he got no help with his housing, the fact he’s never been compensated. It’s just madness.”

Brimson, who has won awards for his books and films on working-class culture, already has Leo Gregory ready to play Roy. Gregory played Bovver in Green Street, the hardtalking anti-hero whose volatile thuggery gripped audiences.

Leo looks “strangely similar” to Roy and is “absolutely” happy to play the lead role, Brimson said.

Brimson, who will base the script on the book about Roy’s life, The Lion of London Bridge, admitted there could be “obstacles” to getting the film financed.

“We know we’re gonna hit obstacles. There’s going to be reluctance and resistance to this movie,” he said.

“There’s a lot of talk about the working class in the media but no real representation. If I’m pitching this movie, I’m pitching to somebody who is middle class.

They don’t know what it’s like to be Roy Larner—a man who has lived a tough life and is a tough character.”

He continued: “You can never be 100 per cent sure, but I think given that this story is such an interesting story, people I’ve spoken to in the industry are really interested in the project. Now we need to meet the right person who can make it happen… I’m very confident we’re gonna pull this off.”

Roy said: “I want to get the story out there where I was let down so much by the powers that be and to make sure they don’t let anyone down again.

“I’m in the right frame of mind now to make a film. I met Leo [Gregory] a couple of weeks ago, he seemed like a down-to-earth person. We only met each other for an hour, but it was like we’d known each other for ages.”

Filming locations cannot be confirmed before funding is found, but Brimson wants to keep the film “as real” as possible. Filming is expected to begin in 2025.

The boxes completely block the view from Umana Yana from the road.

By Isabel Ramirez afTer oVer a decade in limbo, the council has said it will not be removing �ive massive telecom boxes that have 'ruined' a herne hill business, despite calling it 'the worst case they'd ever seen'.

Umana Yana, a Guyanese restaurant on Croxted Road, has been in the shadow of the boxes since 2012, which completely block the view of the restaurant from the street.

Just one year after she opened her very own restaurant with her husband Junior, Debbie Monfries was shocked to find the boxes had been plonked there - some of which are over 6ft tall - without any restrictions.

She has campaigned for years to get the boxes removed, claiming their business has ‘suffered’ because people driving by can’t see their shop.

Given that Umana Yana sits on the border of Lambeth and Southwark, in the past, they had trouble pinning the problem on one council.

Customers and friends have organised fundraisers to keep them afloat whilst they struggled to get people through the door past the boxes.

It was only since this paper publicised Debbie's story via a TikTok video that it gained any real traction, touching the hearts of people all over the country - with food bloggers rallying to support her.

Finally, at a planning committee meeting on Monday October 8, a Southwark council officer admitted that it was the 'worst case' he'd ever seen. However, when asked if the council would be removing them, he said 'no', claiming they had been installed 'lawfully.'

The telecom boxes block the whole view of the shop from the street Umana Yana's case was used to present an Article 4 motion to stop future installations of telecom equipment on the corner of Croxted Road and Norwood Road.

Southwark Station to close for nine weekends from October

By Herbie Russell souThwarK sTaTioN will close for nine weekends from october in preparation for redevelopment.

The first closure is planned from Saturday 19 to Sunday, October 20, with more closures every month until April 2025.

The Southwark Over Station Development (OSD) will see a seventeen-storey building built atop the station.

Developer Helical has planning permission for an office building but has since proposed a 429-bedroom student accommodation instead.

Internal works are needed in preparation for the development and operational reasons.

They include rationalising the electrical equipment within the station and fire separation of parts of the station.

It is not possible for customers to safely use the station while the works are ongoing.

News of changing the building to student accommodation was revealed in a report by Graeme Craig, chief executive of TfL's Places for London subsidiary.

"Based on its remit to maximise both shareholder and social value, Helical, as appointed development manager together with the consultant team, has reviewed the development options," wrote Mr Craig.

St Christopher’s Hospice has warned that hospices receive more money from their charity shops than government for the first time ever.

Eva Trowers, a St Christopher’s nurse, will meet politicians at a pop-up charity shop at Westminster on Thursday, October 10.

Tom Abbott, Director of Communications and Income Generation at St Christopher’s, said: “Although it’s fantastic to see how popular hospice charity shops are across the country, it is not a sustainable funding model.

“Hospices up and down the country are now increasingly relying on the goodwill of their supporters to maintain frontline services. This is unacceptable.”

Research by Hospice UK showed that charity shops would have to sell 5,375 pairs of jeans to fund a palliative care nurse for a year. Selling 43,000 blouses would provide a patient with a hospice bed for just one year.

Hospice UK is calling for emergency support from government to stem the tide of hospice cutbacks, and long-term reform of hospice funding.

Brixton Market traders say they 'were not told' about the market going up for sale "I hope whoever buys it respects the history."

I hope the person who buys it next gives it more love and care than the current owners."

EXCLUSIVE

By Isabel Ramirez Traders at Brixton Market claim they 'were not told' about the decision to put it up for sale, and had to 'read it in the news' like everyone else.

Last month, news broke that Brixton Market had been put up for sale with a reported price tag of at least £80 million.

It consists of three arcades: Reliance Arcade, Market Row and Brixton Village.

On a visit down to the historic market this week we discovered that traders - many of whom have been based there since the '90s - had not been told in advance about the sale.

They were also nervous to speak out about it, due to the uncertainty of the situation and the fact that 90 per cent of them lease their units.

An anonymous trader who has had a unit at the market for years told us: "At first, I thought it was just a rumour.

We asked the public: 'Was it wrong

for the owners not to tell the traders of the decision to sell?'

"I was surprised they didn't come to us personally."

Since 2018 the covered market has been owned by a joint venture between US investment firm TPG Angelo Gordon and Hondo Enterprises, a property company headed by Texan developer and DJ Taylor McWilliams. They bought it for £37 million from London and Associated Properties (LAP).

The 60,000 sq ft property is grade II listed, so the entire structure is protected and any potential buyer would need permission to change it.

In 2020, the current owners tried to expand the space to build a rooftop bar and events space but were denied planning permission after it triggered a backlash from the community.

Lambeth Council said it 'hugely valued' the market and would do its best to protect it, citing its numerous efforts in the past to shield the building from demolition and development under its previous owners.

CGI of the new UAL building

"They don't care about it - they just take the money and that's it."

"They can't just keep them like that, unawares."

The council added this was 'backed up' by their planning policies which sought to 'protect the unique mix of local and affordable businesses that have made the markets such a key part of our community.'

Whilst there are no plans to close the market itself, the traders told us they were worried, as new owners could potentially mean new rules and rent prices.

We asked the current owners why they were selling it and why they didn't tell the traders. TPG declined to comment, and Hondo Enterprises did not respond.

Members of the public described the decision not to tell the traders as 'mad' and 'wrong.'

One lady said: "Most of the traders have been there for ages. They should not keep them like that, unawares they need to know what is going on and I think they have contributed a lot."

Another girl sat outside one of the restaurants commented: "These places are small businesses as well that's what's so amazing about this

whole community.

"They should have been told."

It is being marketed by Savills and Bruce Gillingham Pollard. They have been instructed to find a buyer for the freehold and part leasehold for the market of shops and restaurants.

Oliver Bamber, a director in Savills’ central London investment team, told the Standard: “Brixton Market is an exciting opportunity for a buyer to own a truly unique London destination, which is located at the heart of the vibrant Brixton community.

"The Markets attract nearly 100,000 visitors each week, and is an irreplaceable property that enables a buyer expand upon Brixton’s local significance and legacy."

"With consistently high occupancy and tenant retention levels, as well as a strong underlying reversion, Brixton Market is strategically positioned for future growth, all while staying true to its tradition of supporting the local community.”

The full comment from Lambeth Council reads: Cllr Marcia Cameron, Lambeth’s

Cabinet Member for Economic Inclusion, said: “The Grade II listed Brixton Village and Market Row are historic and much-loved fixtures of Brixton town centre with strong links to our communities.

“They are hugely valued by Lambeth Council and we supported a campaign to save the market when it was under-threat of demolition under its previous private owner 20 years ago.

“The council then backed further efforts to revive the covered arcade in 2009 with a community campaign to get empty units rented out, bringing new life to the market and supporting existing traders.

“We remain strongly supportive of having Brixton Village and Market Row there to serve our communities because they provide such an important business, entertainment and cultural hub for our borough.

“That position is backed by our planning policies which seek to protect the unique mix of local and affordable businesses that have made the markets such a key part of our community.”

as providing community space for events and student showcases.

It forms part of the £4 billion public and private investment currently underway.

In their press release, the developer said "the new one million sq ft neighbourhood, formerly named the Elephant and Castle Town Centre", will simply be called "The Elephant."

The UAL building is set to open in September 2027.

Having been based in Elephant and Castle since 1962, London College of Communication has a proven track record of bringing educational, cultural, and economic benefits to the

local area.

As a continuation of this, once complete, the new building’s first two floors will be open to the public, making it easier than ever to explore everything the College has to offer.

The London College of Communication building will sit alongside new shops, restaurants, leisure uses, and new homes for rent, of which 337 will be affordable, as well as a new London Underground station entrance.

The project is being delivered by Get Living, in collaboration with Delancey, Multiplex and UAL.

Police and paramedics rushed to the scene on Quebec Way last month

By Herbie Russell Police are appealing for witnesses after arresting three sixteen-yearolds for a stabbing in Surrey Quays last month.

Emergency services called to Quebec Way on Tuesday, September 3, found a fifteen-year-old boy suffering stab injuries.

He was rushed to hospital where his injuries were deemed non-lifethreatening.

Police arrested three boys, all aged sixteen, between September 11 and 13, on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent.

They were taken to south London police stations and bailed pending further enquiries.

With the investigation ongoing, police are still appealing for witnesses to step forward.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police

were called at 21:16hrs on Tuesday, 3 September to reports of a stabbing in Quebec Way, SE16.

“Officers, the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended and found a 15-year-old boy suffering knife injuries.

“He was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries that were not life-threatening.

By Herbie Russell A Peckham schoolgirl who overcame a speech impediment to to perform in a choir is among the Southwark youngsters receiving £300 achievement awards.

119 young people at schools across Southwark and Lambeth received Jack Petchey Awards, recognising outstanding young people across London and Essex.

Deborah Onyeukwu, age thirteen, won the Jack Petchey Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to the Harris Academy Peckham Music Department.

Despite her speech impediment, she put herself in the spotlight on stage by performing in both the choir and orchestra.

“She is an asset to the school with an impeccable record for behaviour,

and consistently courteous to staff and students,” the Jack Petchey Foundation said.

Deborah decided to spend her £300 Jack Petchey Achievement Award Grant on instruments for the Music Department.

Harry Kite, a student at St Thomas The Apostle College, Nunhead, won the award for his work as library champion and being an active member of the school charity comittee.

“He always leads by example, whether that be supporting the Christmas hampers or running class events during charity week,” the Jack Petchey Foundation said.

“He has just recently completed a 5K run for Cancer Research. He is truly a real role model for everyone in the school.”

Harry decided to spend his £300 Jack Petchey Achievement Award Grant on a Year 7 bowling trip.

Seventeen-storey apartment block approved on Rotherhithe roundabout

By Herbie Russell

Southwark Council has approved plans to build a seventeen-storey apartment block on the Rotherhithe roundabout.

Developers SoCo and Blue Coast Capital will demolish the City Business Centre, a three-story building, to make way for the development.

Local residents expressed concerns about the building's height and impact on local traffic which already suffers congestion since the installation of a cycle lane.

Southwark Council’s planning committee unanimously approved the development at a meeting on Tuesday, October 8.

The 64-metre high building will contain 216 shared living apartments.

A second, ten-storey building comprising 24 affordable homes also forms part of the development.

Michael Robertson, a local resident, expressed concerns about the development. “The height and the proposed massing exceeds the immediate area and is totally out of keeping with the Albion Quarter,” he said.

Mr Robertson also said alreadycongested Lower Road would struggle to accommodate the increased traffic the development would bring.

He later added: “The existing road layout and infrastructure, in adopting the cycle super highway, can’t cope.”

Gary Rice, formerly a senior Southwark planning officer, also objected to the scheme.

“I’m a planning consultant, as many of you know, former head of development management at this authority,” he said.

“It is rare that I would personally come to object to a scheme. But this is the wrong development.”

Ben Harshak, SoCo co-founder, countered that a previous developer planned to build 25 storeys.

“We didn’t think that was appropriate,” he said. “We brought it down.”

Barry Duckett, Chair of the Canada Estate Tenants' and Residents' Association (TRA), branded objectors "NIMBYS" (Not In My Back Yard).

Addressing the height, he said: "You can't go low anymore. You have to go high. If you want the volume we need you've got to go high."

Mr Duckett said upgrades to the neighbouring Christopher Jones Square, including a new playspace, promised as part of the scheme, would benefit children on the Canada Estate.

A new pedestrian space will also be built as part of the development.

The development includes 35 per cent affordable housing with all those affordable units being in the

ten-storey building.

The other block, housing shared living apartments, will see residents have their own rooms but share communal facilities like kitchens, gyms and laundry rooms.

A SoCo spokesperson said a registered provider had not yet been found for the affordable housing block.

The developers have will make a £1.4 million contribution to Southwark Council taking the scheme to the equivalent of 40 per cent affordable housing.

1,517sqm of commercial floor space will also be provided with 25 per cent offering discounts on market rents for 30 years.

Tyler Wellsted with Jesse's dogs next to the mural he painted

The BesT friend of a boy who was killed three months ago on his doorstep in Peckham has created a mural to 'show everyone how loved he was.'

Jesse Lloyd-Smith died on July 10 after he was shot outside his house on East Surrey Grove - right next to the Damilola Taylor Centre.

A 17-year-old has since been charged with his murder.

On Friday (11 October), Jesse's family and friends gathered to mark three months since the loss of their dear son, brother and friend, whom they all miss terribly.

They met at the pitch where Jesse used to play football - which is also now the site of a huge memorial piece in his honour. Best friend Tyler Wellsted painted the piece, which reads: 'Jesse - Rest in Peace.'

The 21-year-old, who grew up with Jesse, told the News he painted it so people would know how much his friend was loved.

Jesse's family and friends gathered last Friday to mark three years since his passing.

"The last time I saw Jesse, we were doing graffiti together - so it just felt right to do this for him," he said.

"This is Jesse's pitch now and forever," Tyler continued, "It's a place we can all come and feel connected to him."

Despite being proud of how the artwork turned out, Tyler admitted he 'hates' looking at it.

"It shouldn't be here. Jesse should be here."

He said the loss of his friend still doesn't feel real. "I lowered him down into the ground myself," Tyler explained. "It's still really hard to process that he is down there.

"It's all really confusing."

Jesse's family and friends gather at the pitch to mark three months since they lost him

heartfelt artwork uNveiled for Jesse lloyd-sMith after he was killed iN PeckhaM Asked what he remembers about his friend, who he described as 'more like family' he said: "Whenever we saw each other, no matter how much time had passed - it would be the same."

"Jesse really saw people for who they were - he got on with everyone."

Around the area, Jesse was well-known, never seen without his two dogs, Blue and Savvie, which he raised from puppies.

Tyler said they even inspired the colours in the artwork: "Savvie is a grey colour like

the letters and then I added blue around the outside."

At the gathering, the two dogs run around the pitch - pausing now and then to go and sit by the mural, as if paying respects to their beloved owner.

The energy around the pitch is proof of not only a life lost too soon but also one that impacted everyone he came across.

Despite experiencing the worst thing they could have ever imagined, Jesse's loved ones use the gathering as an opportunity

to share memories and stories about him.

Fellow dog-lover and friend, Mowgli, said: "Jesse had the biggest heart. He never judged anyone and treated everyone with love."

Mowgli said an example of this was when Jesse would see someone struggling around Peckham, and he would help them in any way he could.

"He would buy them food or help the elders with their shopping - even do it for them."

"Now, when I walk around Peckham, there are so many people who approach me crying that he's gone."

Mowgli added that he feels his 'brother' in him every day and he takes Jesse's dogs out all the time.

Tyler added: "I'd love to find the person who did it and talk to them - and just ask 'Why? Why did you do this?'"

"I hope they see this mural and realise what they did."

By Herbie Russell wheN a young Ian Wing�ield stepped off the train at surrey docks four decades ago, he witnessed a “�lattened” landscape resembling “the other side of the moon”. southwark’s longest-serving councillor can now look back on the borough’s transformation with pride – even if there are some regrets.

Cllr Wingfield became a Labour politician for Friary ward, Peckham, on 12 October 1989, and has served as councillor for St Giles, Camberwell, since 1998. Between those two, there was a stint representing Newington in Kennington.

But the former opposition leader, who was instrumental in bringing the Tate Modern to South London, and spearheaded one of the borough’s most controversial regeneration projects, had an influence well beyond the boundaries of Camberwell and Peckham.

Southwark’s transformation into the vibrant Central London borough we know today felt aeons away when Ian first started becoming accustomed to South London in the ‘80s. “I remember getting off the East London Line at Surrey Docks and coming out of the station and the whole area was flattened,” he says.

“This was before they built the shopping centre at Surrey Docks. It was like looking at the other side of the moon… I remember with Tooley Street there was hardly anything there. It was run down, warehouses, a couple of pubs, there wasn’t really a lot down there at all.”

But if parts of Southwark had a vacant feel about them, this did not detract from the area’s political energy. Cllr Wingfield, an active Labour member as a student at the London School of Economics, from which he’d recently graduated, must have been struck by Southwark’s fervent and, at times, “tense” political atmosphere.

“Before I was elected as a Camberwell councillor, we’d had a by-election in Camberwell and it then was predominantly a white working-class community, a bit like Bermondsey,” he says.

“The BNP (British National Party) came in big time because they had their headquarters based in Bexley and all these young blokes with skinheads caused a load of trouble. It was a very tense situation for that period. They were throwing bricks and bottles if anybody with a Labour rosette turned up.”

The far-right parties would consistently stand candidates in Southwark up until the late ‘90s, but Ian says the borough is now “diverse wherever you go”. “We’ve seen off that sort of politics,” he says.

Following his election in 1989, Cllr Ian Wingfield gradually played an increasingly important role in Southwark’s political life and, by extension, its revitalisation. One of his greatest achievements is persuading the Tate Modern to establish itself on the South Bank. In one meeting with gallery bosses, an exasperated Wingfield produced an A-Z map of London to demonstrate Southwark was indisputably Central London.

“We pulled out an A-Z and just in the bottom right-hand corner was Southwark.

We said: ‘Look, this is part of Central London. It’s not on the other side of Mars!’” he recounts.

“There was a lot of stereotypical bias towards South London, particularly South East London… people got as far as London Bridge Station, but they wouldn’t want to go any further. Those stereotypical images had to be broken down.”

While the fascist element of local politics subsided within a decade of Cllr Wingfield’s election, there were more twists and turns ahead. Labour lost control of Southwark Council in 2002, finally regaining it in 2010. Cllr Wingfield,

‘hiNdsight is a woNderful thiNg’: southwark’s loNgest-serviNg couNcillor

Cllr Ian Wingfield was first elected to a Southwark seat in 1989

Cllr Ian Wingfield

Cllr Wingfield pictured at a memorial service in 2005 (Left). Cllr Wingfield reported as advocating for residents against squatters in a 2005 Southwark News article (Inset) who served as Leader of the Opposition, was made Deputy Leader with Labour’s victory. He was also made the Cabinet Member for Housing.

As Housing Cabinet Member, he presided over the hugely controversial sale and regeneration of the Heygate Estate. Social housing campaigners have long criticised Southwark Council for the way the Heygate, a massive brutalist estate in Elephant and Castle, was demolished.

Southwark Labour sold the site to developers Lendlease for £50 million, which campaigners said was not much more than they spent on moving residents out. There have also been accusations that high service charges in flats earmarked as ‘affordable’ mean the apartments are anything but.

Two years ago, in an interview with this paper, Cllr Wingfield stridently backed the regeneration, saying it was better than the “eight years of inaction” the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives presided

over. But his position appears to have softened since.

“Hindsight is always a wonderful thing,” he says. “Perhaps we should have negotiated a harder deal with Lendlease at the time… But I think the key thing was to get the building work underway as quickly as possible and to get those homes built.”

Cllr Wingfield also sees the response to the Lakanal fire, a tragedy that killed six people and injured twenty others, as a missed opportunity. The disaster took place in his electoral ward and an inquest was carried out. Many of its findings – including a review of building materials and confusing ‘stay put’ policies – were not properly taken up. Now Mr Wingfield believes more could have been done to scrutinise high-rise safety in the years after Lakanal.

“One of my biggest regrets is the council and the various governments never really took up and looked into it properly, and that’s why we had Grenfell,” he says. He

adds that if there had been a full public inquiry, Grenfell probably would never have happened.

Wingfield says some of the work he is most proud of includes setting up the Southwark Civic Association and the Civic Awards, alongside his successful campaign for the council to adopt the Armed Forces Covenant, committing it to help provide employment, housing and care for local ex-service men and women.

Asked to compare the atmosphere at Southwark Council following Starmer’s victory, compared to the excitement that came with Tony Blair's 1997 election victory, there is a flicker of cynicism – perhaps understandable after 35 years in politics.

“I think politics has changed and society has changed and a lot of it is to do with these devices [smartphones] and communications,” he says.

“I think that’s been a big game changer.

Everything is more immediate, everything

is soundbites. I remember when I first started off you’d have the likes of Tony Benn, who was a brilliant orator… you could listen to him till the cows come home. You didn’t have to agree with what he was saying, it was just the way he spoke.”

He continues: “That type of politics has gone now… I think the other side of it is because everything is so immediate and there’s all this information, a lot of storms in a teacup become national news – Sue Gray and Morgan McSweeney.

“It’s not the meat of politics, but because there’s this 24-hour news cycle, there’s always this pressure to get a story out and I think a lot of trivia is sensationalised and blown out of all proportion.

“What I feel is the detrimental side of that: when news is reported that way, it assists in undermining the public trust in the democratic system and that is something we all have a responsibility to be wary of.”

walworth sea cadets fightiNg for survival as headQuarters 'fall aPart' 1

a walworTh organisation teaching seafaring skills to young people faces homelessness, claiming its headquarters have started “falling apart.”

Southwark Sea Cadets, which takes members on hikes and boating trips, said it has until 2028 to leave its Walworth home amid the landlord’s plans to redevelop the site at Surrey Square.

Children say they would "just feel lost" were it not for the club which helps them "realise there's more to life" than phones and social media.

As well as rowing, watersports, and seafaring adventures as far as Belfast, children are taught life skills like cooking and first aid, often receiving bursaries.

laMBeTh couNcil faces a £34.3 million budget black hole as its �inances buckle under the soaring demand from homeless families for temporary accommodation.

Councillor David Amos, the Labourrun town hall’s lead for finance, told a cabinet meeting on last Monday, October 7, that Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government needed to provide ‘urgent’ support to address the crisis facing the council and other local authorities.

The council’s overspend is overwhelmingly being driven by the amount it is spending on nightly paid accommodation like hotels for homeless households.

The council has a legal duty to house homeless families and as of June, 78.3 per cent of its temporary accommodation placements were in nightly paid accommodation, such as hotels.

The Southwark Sea Cadets pose for a photo support the Cadets.

Ragul Madan, Commanding Officer, said: “We’ve been looking after the building there since 1969 but have used it less post-Covid, and it’s started falling apart.

“Parts of the building are not accessible because of mould and leaks.”

Southwark Sea Cadets paid a peppercorn rent for fifty years to the landlord Southwark Diocese, he said.

But Mr Madan claimed they had been unable to negotiate new terms after the lease expired in 2019.

Southwark Diocese has plans to redevelop the site, which could mean a significantly increased rent that the charity claims may be unaffordable.

But the Sea Cadets, who have received reduced funding from the Royal Navy in recent years, claim they cannot afford the cost of maintaining the dilapidated building.

Over the last five years, the organisation has spent £20,000 on upkeep, Mr Madan

said.

Now they are searching for a new home that can accommodate the 36 cadets, aged ten to eighteen.

Mr Madan, 33, said: “We’re not asking for much. Just somewhere that can have us for eight hours a week to keep us going.

“We don’t want to move out of Southwark because we serve local kids. It’s heartbreaking. Some of these kids come from deprived areas in Camberwell and Elephant and Castle and have nothing.

“Some of them have accomplished a lot as Sea Cadets. It’s a pathway for kids to have a better life.”

Abel McCrae, twelve, said the outdoor activities, including overnight hikes, had helped kids get away from things like social media.

“Instead of just being on our phones all the time, it helps us enjoy real things,” he said. “It makes us realise there’s more to life.”

Labour council demands'urgent' help from Starmer over £34 million overspend

Lambeth Council’s town hall in Brixton report shows the local authority is expected to spend £90 million on such accommodation by the end of the current financial year ends in

April 2025. The ballooning cost of temporary housing means the council is forecast to overspend on housing services by more than £28 million.

Nox McCrae, thirteen, said moving away would be “really tough” because the centre is close to home.

She said people at the cadets were “really friendly” and the outdoor activities were “really enjoyable".

Tamiaa Ragul, twelve, who particularly enjoys marching and drills, said she would “probably just feel lost” without the club.

The Sea Cadets, who are affiliated with the Royal Navy, take children on subsidised seafaring trips and activities, with memberships starting at £15 per month.

Cllr Rachel Bentley, who has been supporting the club, said: “The Southwark Sea Cadets are a cornerstone of the local community here – I’m sure many people will have fond memories of the club and welcome the much-needed opportunities they provide to young people.

"It’s desperately sad that their current home is quickly becoming unsuitable, so

we’re backing them to find a new home as soon as possible, and have written to the council asking for their support."

A Southwark Council spokesperson said the Labour-run authority "we will do everything we can in helping find options for them to consider".

A Southwark Diocese spokesperson said: “The work of the Sea Cadets in our community is enormously valued, and we're pleased that we've been able to offer them use of this space in the All Saints Hall for so long.

“However, the area used by the group is becoming increasingly dilapidated and has clearly reached the end of its useful life. It no longer meets the needs of the Cadets, nor would it be suitable for use by other groups.

“The Hall needs refurbishment and renewal, and we are working hard with a number of partners - including Pembroke House and the Sea Cadets - to find the best way of achieving this so that their important work can continue.”

Speaking about the challenges Lambeth faces to balance the books, Cllr Amos said: “The sustainability of local services will face increasing pressures and local government’s financial sustainability will be tested like never before. A new settlement between national and local government is urgently needed.

“Central government must act—it has clearly been listening since the general election—to provide urgent support to address the crisis confronting Lambeth [and] fix the local government funding system to provide fairer funding based on meeting need.”

One in 30 households in temporary accommodation across the country were housed by Lambeth Council in March 2024. The number of homeless families supported by the council has surged by 50 per cent in the last two years to 4,600.

The budget report said the shortage of temporary accommodation meant the council was increasingly having to rely on expensive options to house

families. Temporary accommodation providers were also increasing the cost of housing existing households, the report added.

In July, Lambeth revealed plans to house homeless families in buildings in the Kent town of Dover and Luton in Bedfordshire in an attempt to reduce the amount it spends on hotels for temporary accommodation.

Last month London Councils, which represents the capital’s 32 boroughs and the City of London, said local authorities across London were spending around £3 million every day on temporary accommodation.

In 2023/24, 29 out of the capital’s 33 local authorities, overspent their homelessness budget.

Cllr Amos added: “Lack of supply in terms of properties and what we’re calling a broken market of increasingly expensive accommodation is putting pressure not only on our ability to fund this service but as a result on all other council services our most vulnerable rely.”

By Noah Vickes Local Democracy Reporter sadiQ KhaN has said Transport for london (Tfl) must not “victim-blame” when a death or serious injury occurs on the capital’s Tube and bus network.

The mayor’s warning comes as survivors of accidents on the network, and relatives of those who have been killed or injured, this week accused the transport authority of failing to take responsibility where due.

TfL has said safety is its “top priority” and that it is taking “every possible measure to learn from any incident and put in place appropriate improvements”.

In 2021, Melissa Burr, 32, was killed at Victoria bus station when a bus driver pressed the accelerator instead of the brake.

Her mother Trish was forced into fighting TfL’s claim that Melissa had been walking between two buses when she died, when she was actually on a pedestrian walkway when she was hit. TfL apologised for the error last month.

But the suggestion that it was somehow Melissa’s fault, Ms Burr told the Financial Times this week, was incredibly hurtful.

The Evening Standard reported that TfL figures show that about 20 people a month are being seriously injured or killed on board or by London buses, most recently a man in his nineties who was hit by a bus near Victoria station on Tuesday afternoon.

A total of 86 people died or were seriously injured in bus collisions between January and March this year, and 68 between April and June.

According to TfL, the number of “platform train interface (PTI) incidents” across the Underground rose to 1,941 in 2023, up almost 500 on the figure in 2016.

In 2022, Sarah de Lagarde lost her right arm and leg after she fell through the gap between the train and the platform at High Barnet station, and was run over by two trains.

In a statement to the media outside the Royal Courts of Justice earlier this year, she said: “TfL initially concluded that I fell because I was drunk and wearing high heels, neither of which were true.”

Asked whether TfL needs to change its culture in terms of its response to serious incidents, the mayor told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “I raised this with TfL’s management

tfl should Not ‘victiM-blaMe’ says Mayor khaN after woMaN who lost arM aNd leg oN the tube sPeaks out Sadiq Khan team yesterday, and there cannot be a situation where there appears to be, or there is, victim blaming [of] anybody hurt using public transport across London.

“I want to apologise if any family feels that way – some of it for good reason, by the way, [that] they feel that way. That shouldn’t happen.

The [TfL] commissioner himself has apologised for that.”

Mr Khan added: “TfL needs to always understand that we’re talking about human beings who have suffered injury or families who are grieving because of the loss of a loved one.

That’s got to be the starting point.

“At the same time, we’ve got to reduce the number of injuries in London and people losing their lives.

It’s no consolation to me that last year was the lowest numbers of deaths and serious injuries [caused by collisions on London’s roads], aside from the pandemic year, because there are still too many people being hurt and seriously injured.

“So we’ve got to make sure we improve. At the same time, when things do go wrong, we can’t, we mustn’t and we never should, victimblame.”

TfL said almost four million journeys were made each weekday on the Tube, and insisted: “The safety of our staff and customers is our top priority and the Tube is recognised as one of the safest metros around the world.”

It said cameras were being improved

to give Tube drivers a clearer view of passengers on platforms, and work had been carried out to reduce some gaps between the train and platform.

In addition, platform announcements and ‘Mind the Gap’ signs were used to highlight potential risks.

TfL’s Vision Zero target is to eliminate road deaths by 2041. As an interim target, it for nobody to be killed on or by a bus by 2030.

Lilli Matson, TfL’s chief safety, health and environment officer, said: “Our thoughts remain with all of those impacted by loss of life and injury on the transport network. Every death and serious incident on the transport network is devastating and we have support available for those affected.

“We are committed to learning from every incident and use a rigorous evidence-based approach to this, using data and incident reports to put in place changes through targeted programmes that make the transport network safer for everyone.

“Accurate reporting and transparency are a vital part of our industry-leading approach to safety and we are committed to making data publicly available, including through our website.

“We recognise that serious incidents on the network should never happen and we are determined to address this by listening to the experiences of those who are affected and taking appropriate action to keep people safe.”

“Many park users no longer feel safe, even during the day.

The current level of Policing, Community Warden and Park Liaison Officer provision is simply not working: crime data shows that there has been an increase in crime - particularly violent crime and drug offences - in the park and surrounding area over the past three years.”

NEWS 17 Miatta Fahnbulleh during a visit to the Tustin estate in Peckham, South London on Friday June 21, 2024

PeckhaM MP urged to 'iNterveNe' iN southwark district heatiNg crisis

By Herbie Russell

The MP for Peckham has been urged to “intervene” as increasing numbers of residents expose the failings of southwark’s district heating system.

Cllr Victor Chamberlain, leader of Southwark’s Liberal Democrat opposition (Left), has called on Peckham MP Miatta Fahnbulleh to investigate

F.A.A.

Exasperated leaseholders say they pay over £2,500 for heating, £1,000 more than Ofgem guidelines, due to the system’s inefficiencies.

The Southwark Liberal Democrats have now written to Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, who as Energy Minister is responsible for district heating, to address the “unacceptable situation”.

Cllr Victor Chamberlain, Southwark Liberal Democrat Leader, said: “It's unacceptable that Southwark’s Labour Council has left residents facing extortionate energy bills due to their mismanagement. We need a full investigation to hold them accountable and ensure leaseholders aren’t ripped off like this again.

“The new Energy Minister needs to ensure her Labour council wake up and ensure residents - her constituents - can get the fair deal they deserve.”

F A ALBIN & SONS

The Liberal Democrats have now asked the Energy Minister to ensure that these problems are investigated “at the highest level”.

In the letter dated October 7, 2024, he continues: “District heating systems are often promoted as more efficient, and lower carbon sources of heat than traditional gas boilers. What the cases we’ve seen in Southwark demonstrate is that this is by no means guaranteed.

“In multiple cases, the systems have been shown to use significantly more energy than conventional heating methods, at a cost both those who have to pay for it, and also for the environment.

“The issues here are twofold – firstly, the practical failings of the system, and how the council in these instances have approached solving them, but secondly that the council failed to proactively investigate and mitigate obvious issues.

The fact that residents were forced to conduct their own investigations after being charged extortionate sums is not acceptable.”

Around 17,000 households across Southwark are hooked up to district heat networks, where a communal boiler

supplies heating and hot water to multiple properties.

Southwark News understands the MP attended a meeting with Max Templer, the leaseholder who first exposed the extent of the problem, Tom Vosper, a leading council engineer and Cllr Sarah King, Cabinet Member for Housing, last month.

Labour-run Southwark Council had previously insisted district heating offers “better value for resident long-term” and blamed the rising cost of fuel for increasing prices.

However, this failed to explain why households connected to heat networks used 19,000 kWh of gas annually, significantly higher than the 11,500 kWh of gas that Ofgem estimates the average three-bedroom house should use.

At a council meeting on September 21, Strategic Project Manager Tom Vosper admitted “losses in the boiler house, losses in the heat network” were behind the inefficiencies.

Peckham resident Max Templer said he was pleased Southwark Council had finally admitted there was a problem.

Miatta Fahnbulleh MP was approached for comment.

Comment

T

his week in Parliament we are delivering on our promise to renters.

The Renters Reform Bill is the most significant package of changes to the private rental sector in over 40 years, aiming to provide greater security and stability for more than 11 million private renters. And clarify the system for 2.3 million landlords.

Millions of people in England live day in, day out with the knowledge that they and their families could be uprooted from their home, friends and communities with little notice.

My casework is full of anguished parents being made homeless through no fault of their own or forced to move miles away from their kids’ schools and support networks. Of young people being served section 21 notices, unable to afford a one bed flat on their own or the money for another deposit.

And families waiting months for help with much needed repairs.

Reform cannot come quickly enough. In 2024 it is unacceptable that a safe, warm and stable roof over your head is out of reach for so many.

Our Renters Reform Bill will transform the sector and give

Miatta fahnbulleh

MP for Peckham

'Our government will make big reforms for renters' renters the security and stability they need so they can stay in their homes for longer, build lives in their communities, and avoid the risk of homelessness.

The Bill will abolish section 21 evictions and provide new safeguards for tenants, giving them more time to find a home if landlords evict to move in or sell.

It will simplify the tenancy model and provide stronger protections against backdoor eviction by

Breakfast clubs at all primary schools

O

ne of the most enjoyable aspects of my role as a Member of Parliament is the opportunity to visit schools in my constituency.

We have brilliant local schools across Dulwich and West Norwood and it is always inspiring to see how hard the teachers and support staff work to provide the best possible education for every child, and to hear from pupils about the topics that interest them and the things that make a difference to their learning.

Too many pupils however arrive at school hungry in the morning which means that they are not ready to learn and to make the most of the school day.

Breakfast clubs in primary schools are one solution to this problem, providing the opportunity for children to eat a healthy meal at the start of the school day, play with their friends and sometimes catch up on their learning too. We have breakfast clubs in some schools already, but sometimes there is a cost to parents which can be prohibitive.

This is one of the reasons I was so glad that the Labour Party’s manifesto included a commitment to roll out fully funded breakfast clubs in every single primary school across the country. This commitment will ensure that no child has to start the school day hungry, while also providing much-needed childcare to parents

ensuring tenants are able to challenge above-market rent hikes designed purely to force them out.

We will also for the first time apply the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector to give renters safer, better value homes and remove the blight of poorquality homes in our community.

We will make it illegal for landlords and agents to discriminate against tenants in receipt of benefits or with children

–to ensure everyone is treated fairly when looking for a place to live.

And we will end the unscrupulous practice of rental bidding by prohibiting agents from accepting offers above the advertised rent.

Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to ask for or accept offers made above this rate.

Of course, we know that new legislation is only part of

the answer. That’s why this will sit alongside the biggest housebuilding programme of a generation and much needed reforms to the dire situation facing too many leaseholders here and across the country.

This Labour Government has achieved more in four months than the Tories managed in four years. Change has well and truly begun. We can’t wait to build a better Britain.

helen hayes

MP for Dulwich & West Norwood at the start of the working day.

The government has already announced an early adopter programme for the first 750 breakfast clubs, inviting schools to work with the Department for Education to ensure that breakfast clubs build on what is already happening in

schools, meet the needs of parents and ensure that every child starts the school day ready to learn. The first breakfast clubs under this programme will be up and running for the summer term next year.

For the past 14 years, there have been far too many pressures on

family life and children and young people have been bearing the brunt of this. Breakfast clubs will deliver for children and their families, making sure every school day gets off to the best possible start, and I look forward to seeing how this new programme delivers.

OPINION 19

Could Southwark's district heating crisis shape the course of national energy policy?

L

easeholders on Southwark’s council estates are facing outrageously high heating and hot water bills. But could their struggle change the course of government energy policy? Some people believe it could.

In Southwark, 17,000 homes are connected to a district heating network maintained by the council. But parts of the system are over 40 years old and falling apart. This has a huge knock-on effect for residents.

Whereas the average three-bedroom house should use 11,500kWh of gas, heat lost from the antiquated heating system means Southwark households use around 19,000kWh. This is particularly serious for leaseholders, who are often charged £2,500 for heating and hot water when their bills should be closer to £1,500. In total, this has brought some annual service charges up to £5,000.

In decades past, their calls for action may have been ignored. Indeed, Southwark Council’s first reaction was to deny there was any problem at all. But this time, by a twist of political serendipity, their struggles could have national implications. That is because Miatta Fahnbulleh, the new MP for Peckham, where many of these leaseholders live, also happens to be the Minister for Energy Consumers. On the gov.uk website, ministers’ responsibilities are listed. In black and white, under her name, it says ‘heat networks’.

Labour pledged to build 1.5 million homes ahead of the general election. While we can safely say the private sector will bear much of this burden, other questions remain. How will they be funded, where will they be built and, importantly, how will they be heated? District heating is one option. In fact, the influential Climate Change Committee is calling for an increased use of district heating systems. The Liberal Democrats, now a significant force in parliament, are promoting district heating systems, particularly in urban areas, as a good way of providing efficient and low-carbon heating to multiple buildings.

But Southwark leaseholders' experiences expose the shortfalls of such systems. Admittedly, the problem is not so much the district heating systems themselves, but the failure to maintain them over decades. It’s a story of underfunding, mismanagement and neglect - a story shared by the NHS, the justice system and just about any state-funded authority.

Nonetheless, will our cash-strapped government really want to take on responsibility for another set of large infrastructure projects that require constant funding and maintenance? Of course, Fahnbulleh will be considering heating networks as a whole and not making policy suggestions based on Peckham alone. But political decisionmaking can be dictated by personalities and personal experience, even if it is not always obvious to the electorate.

The leaseholders who brought this case before Southwark Council deserve a huge round of applause especially the local campaigner Max Templer. He compiled a report so convincing that the council simply could not ignore it. Residents should not have to tell the government how to run its heating systems. But in this case, thank goodness they have.

In The Elephant in the Room, well-off orphaned twenty-four year old Ashley Davenport, I discover from an interview with its playwright Peter Hamilton, founder of Clockschool Theatre, was inspired by a fait divers about someone who similarly turned his back on the comfort and privilege around him, but did so by taking the unusual option to check into an old people’s home (a choice ironically only open to the most privileged, for it comes with a hefty bill!).

Ashley’s time spent in different countries backpacking and dabbling in work around the world since leaving school has not alleviated how lost in life he feels.

We are introduced to Ashley (Richard Linnell) and his fellow characters who move to the rhythmic tune of “Horse With No Name”, the perfect soundtrack for this: songwriter Dewey Bunnell said the horse was “a metaphor for a vehicle to get away from life’s confusion into a quiet, peaceful place”.

The excellent use of music and lighting and great use of scenography and movement in what is a small performance area in this musty underthe-arches theatre in Waterloo are elements that definitely enhance the

play. Never mind the unlikelihood of this actually happening (though it did!), and at times surreal narrative, the utterly real characterisation and gentle comedy within the confines of the retirement home is what draws us in and holds our attention.

We meet Ashley’s fellow residents, David (Ian Crowe), Rosemary (Annette Holland), Judith (Sian Howard) and Johnnie (Moray Treadwell) and giggle at their interactions, their random reminiscences, their invented version of Monopoly – much more a social

commentary than a map of London – and their characters. What Ashley was not counting on in this end-of-life location was the presence of Ganesh, the elephantheaded Hindu god of new beginnings and bringer of wisdom. Clever use of visuals and the invisible-yet-visible King of Death make this apparent.

Yang uses everyday domestic objects and materials in her artwork, from clothes-drying racks, window blinds and nylon pom-poms and transforms transforms them into sculptures, collages, and super-sensory installations.

Leap Year features key works including Light Sculptures, Sonic Sculptures, The Intermediates, Dress Vehicles, Mesmerising Mesh and the Venetian blind installations.

This exhibition is thought-provoking, mesmerising in parts, surreal and a definite feast on the senses. Some of the sculptures made me question the significance of the art work, even after

reading the synopsis, especially the number of clothes-drying structures and the array of window blinds installations.

There is a lot going on, from a love affair and subjective chronologies offered on the likes of George Orwell and Primo Levi, to ’Storage Piece’ - a large sculpture given its own room - made up of twenty seven items of readily available domestic objects and mass produced commodities.

Ralph Rugoff, Director of the Hayward Gallery, says: "Yang is one of the world's most pioneering artists and consistently pushes the boundaries of what an artwork can be and how it is presented with true imagination and creativity.”

Haegue Yang says: “My artworks often have very long names with seemingly odd combinations of words that are hard even for me to memorise, whereas my exhibition titles are much simpler. This naming tradition mirrors my relationship

trafficked to the UK from Vietnam, whilst the home’s pastry chef Miguel (Ryan Crellin-Simpson), had a similar brush with sex work when arriving from Brazil.

Together she and Miguel can make a baby, says Kim-Ly (before seducing Ashley), who does end up pregnant, perhaps by Ashley, whom she marries and sends to accountancy classes. Miguel it is who, despite having found God, surprisingly ends his life while Judith fails to remain on the other side despite her best efforts in the Lilac Room, the home’s place of rest residents go to when in the final moments of life. She gets so close she comes back with insight into what the future holds for her friends. It is not Ashley’s time. His “journey is beginning”. The quiet place he is seeking “can be inside you forever” urges Mr Krish, if only you can find out how. The play is not only about Ashley’s coming-of-age search for meaning but that of all of ours, and carries a universal message of humanity, equality and peace (contemporary ceasefire news reels are amongst the visuals). We must play our parts “in this cosmic drama” and “surrender to the great river of life”. This is well-acted, well-directed (in the hands of Ross McGregor) and well-constructed. The euphoria at the end leaves notes on a high.

Art making is like weaving together a piece of complex, and therefore impossible to unweave, fabric, while exhibition making is like tailoring it into something comfortable to wear.

The head coach played an aggressive brand of cricket with the Stars

By Sport Reporter JohaNN MYBurGh will be the new surrey women’s head coach as the team starts the new era of women’s cricket.

Myburgh has been head coach at the South East Stars since 2021, guiding the team to triumph in the 2021 Charlotte Edwards Cup. During a 20-year playing career, Myburgh played in the UK with Hampshire, Durham and Somerset before he retired in 2018 with over 12,000 career runs.

A hallmark of Myburgh’s coaching tenure at the Stars was the aggressive brand of cricket the team played. They reached the finals of both the T20 and 50-over competitions this year.

The Stars have also seen opportunities given to talented young players to rise through the ranks to senior level, with Ryana Macdonald-Gay making her England debut this summer, alongside team-mate Paige Scholfield who has also developed significantly since joining the Stars in 2023.

Myburgh has been part of the Oval Invincibles coaching staff for all four

years of The Hundred, including the team’s back-to-back victories in the first two editions of the competition.

Myburgh said: “This is a really exciting time for the women’s game and for this group of players. There’s been a lot of hard work done over the last four years and we will look to take that forward as we become Surrey.

“I want us to continue to play an exciting and fearless brand of cricket and play with freedom. With the support of the club, I am looking forward to seeing the strides the team can make out on the field.”

Fish show Corinthian spirit Photo by Dave Anderson

By John Kelly fisher are through to the second round of the Kent senior Trophy after a hardfought 2-1 win against fellow scefl Premier division side corinthian at st Paul’s last weekend.

Fisher rested a number of their regulars, with Kesna Clarke and Halim Bakre making their first starts, and returns to the line-up for Tyron Mbuenimo and Abdoulaye Ly Athie. It was still a strong Fisher side also featuring Jacob Katonia, who had returned to the club on a dual registration from Chatham Town.

The Fish went ahead five minutes before the break. Having forced a corner through the dangerous Bakre on the left, Salim Nassor’s deep inswinging delivery was helped back across goal by Ly Athie and Bakre out-jumped his marker to powerfully head the ball into the net from inside

Fisher’s Halim Bakre, left, heads home the first goal the six-yard box. It was a first goal in Fisher colours for the former Shrewsbury Town youngster.

The second half was scrappier on the wet surface and it seemed to suit the visitors more. They levelled on 71 minutes when Khayie Harris chested down a ball over the top before firing low past Isaac Ogunseri into the far corner.

With penalties looming as the game entered the final ten minutes, Fisher built a clever passing move as they twice switched play to create space.

Substitute Courtney Barrington played a one-two with Salim Nassor inside the box before finding Tyron Mbuenimo, and he drilled a powerful shot into the far corner beyond Nathan Boamah’s reach.

Ajay Ashanike’s side had to withstand some late pressure as Ogunseri was alert to the danger of several attempted through-balls.

Fish substitutes Jake Lovell, Tolu Junaid and Richesse Mvioki all had half-chances to make the game more comfortable late on, but the hosts didn’t need another goal as they went through in front of a 208 attendance.

Fisher are back in SCEFL Premier Division action this Saturday when they travel to The Steve Cook Stadium in Gravesend (DA12 5ND) to take on Punjab United at 3pm.

Emma Calvert, director of women’s cricket at Surrey CCC, added: “I am delighted that Johann has agreed to join us as our Surrey Women’s head coach.

Johann has a wealth of experience and has already helped our girls progress so much during his time as head coach of South East Stars.

“The time and care he puts into ensuring each player has the development opportunity they need is second to none and I am confident he will bring this to the Three Feathers as we enter the next chapter of the women’s game at Surrey.”

Jones off the mark

By John Kelly Ted JoNes has secured his �irst win at the third attempt as Millwall lionesses boss.

The Lionesses defeated Sutton United 2-1 away in the L&SERWFL Premier Division last weekend, a week after being held to a 2-2 draw by the same opponents after being 2-0 up at St Paul’s.

Sophie Chapman’s brace was enough for a first league win of the season after four defeats and two draws in six games.

“I think, over all, relief,” Jones said when asked for his reaction. “We played well the last few weeks, we could’ve picked up a win. It was a tough game, a tough battle. We didn’t play the best we could but ultimately we battled, we had to adjust and it was a really gritty performance and we got the three points.

“We were building to it, we deserved it - so couldn’t be happier.”

Luke Wanadio celebrates his goal

By John Kelly luKe waNadio’s brace before half-time and danny Mills’ late goal sealed a 3-0 win for dulwich hamlet over hastings united at a sold-out champion hill last weekend.

A capacity crowd of 3,334 saw Hakan Hayrettin’s side brush aside their rivals to move into the top five after ten games of the Isthmian League Premier Division season.

Wanadio scored in the 30th and 35th minutes and Mills added the third three minutes from time.

After losing 4-1 at Bowers & Pitsea in the league at the end of last month, Dulwich have kept three successive clean sheets, including one in their 1-0 victory against Dartford in the third round qualifying of the FA Trophy.

Hayrettin revealed he tore into the squad after their defeat against Bowers as he praised the side for their latest win.

“It was an exceptional performance, we played with a lot of discipline,” Hayrettin said.

“We had to go into positions to stop them [playing out].

“We’re slowly now trying to build momentum. I thought we were excellent, we could have had more, we hit the post, hit the crossbar. They had a couple of chances but we were worthy winners.

“After what happened at Bowers I didn’t hold back, I told them exactly what I thought of them. Twenty minutes, we folded, we were three, four down. I’d never experienced that in my time here and I didn’t hold my feelings back, and I told them that now I’m going to be a little bit more ruthless.

“For them to bounce back in the manner that they’ve done - and they’ve played on two 3G pitches back-to-back, Bowers, then a long trip to Chichester, Dartford and then [Saturday] - has been phenomenal by the lads.”

The Hamlet have seventeen points from ten games and host Billericay Town this Saturday at 3pm.

Millwall's heritage tour explores the Lions' humble origins in the Isle of Dogs

Millwall played at the Athletic Grounds from 1890-1900

By Will Scott aN islaNd of glass skyscrapers is an unlikely birthplace for a club like Millwall.

The modern day financial district that dominates Canary Wharf is a far cry from the landscape of factories and windmills that dotted the island when Millwall was born.

Founded as Millwall Rovers in 1885, the club has evolved as east London has evolved, but some things have not changed, as I found out on the Millwall FC History and Heritage Tour last Saturday.

Founded by lifelong Millwall fans Mike George and Rob Woodford, the walk guides you through the most important sites in the earliest part of Millwall’s history, when it resided on the Isle of Dogs between the years of 1885-1910.

It starts right in the thick of modernity, West India Quay. The former dock is lined by pop-up bars offering ‘the ultimate Instagram moment’ and chain restaurants, but glimpses of history peek through.

Some of the old factories were still preserved, and we were told

by Woodford that the path we were walking on used to be known as ‘blood alley’.

The dockworkers who made up Millwall’s early fanbase and even some of their players would have to fight for tokens to get the right to work. It was a sobering reminder of what life was like on the peninsula, and Woodford argued it gave Millwall their DNA. We pressed on. We had a lot of ground to cover and not much time to cover it in. Millwall played in four different

Millwall Rovers FC at the Lord Nelson Pub ahead of the East London Senior Cup Final in 1889 stadiums in the Isle of Dogs, the first of which was charmingly referred to as the ‘waste ground’, and another had a corner called the ‘mudchute’ that stunk of sewage.

Before we could see any of them, we first walked to the site of the factory where Millwall was founded.

Woodford was very keen to dispel myths throughout the tour, and the first one he dispatched was the false claim that the factory was a jam factory. Rather, it was a canning factory that among other things produced hair replacement cream.

It was staffed primarily by Scotsmen

by Dundee, who formed the team, likely after kicking a ball around during a lunch break. However, contrary to popular belief, Millwall’s colours were not derived from Dundee’s. Woodford confirmed the workers used Scotland’s colours.

Walking to the site took us to the actual area of Millwall, named after the seven windmills built along the river wall, the last of which was demolished a year before the team was founded.

We were firmly in a residential area now, although the incessant drilling

froM the docklaNds to the deN

from a nearby construction site gave us some sense of how chaotic the Isle of Dogs was during Millwall’s formative years.

The chaos on the island manifested in the football team. Their first ground was an open enclosure, meaning anyone could turn up and watch including passers by.

Like the club, we were not in Millwall too long. The Lions only spent one year in Millwall itself, before moving to neighbouring Cubitt Town. The open nature of their ground meant they could not financially sustain the club,

and they had to find a more enclosed site.

As we ventured into Cubitt Town, we encountered one of the many pubs that associated itself with the club. Some were used as changing rooms for the players, while others were used as a club headquarters. Millwall’s chairmen would pile into a cramped basement for club meetings.

We walked past landmark after landmark, some of which had been completely overtaken by the passing of time.

The site of Millwall’s third stadium is now an Asda car park, while the second ground is underneath rows of housing.

The roundabout where we ended the tour used to be one of the goalmouths.

As the years went on, Millwall experienced remarkable success for a new club. They made the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1900 and 1903, beating the mighty Aston Villa in 1900 after two replays.

The team eventually had to leave the Isle of Dogs in 1910, mostly because there was no room to expand. Even though the club only spent 25 years north of the river, it’s clear to see how the docklands left its mark on Millwall’s character.

I walked away from the experience with a newfound appreciation for Millwall’s history. Woodford and George do an excellent job bringing the sites to life with pictures and anecdotes and it’s a genuinely interesting topic.

The tour runs every international break, occasionally features club legends, and even involved an impromptu rendition of ‘Let ‘em Come’ by the tour attendees. It’s a worthy experience for Millwall fans.

'it has a Nice riNg to it'

Japhet Tanganga steps out onto the pitch against Cardiff City

Tanganga on joining the Lions permanently, his partnership with Coop and thoughts on his chant

EXCLUSIVE

By Will Scott Millwall defeNder Japhet Tanganga revealed he decided to join the lions permanently in part due to his strong relationship with the club and its fans.

Tanganga, 25, signed a long-term contract with the club after spending the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan from Tottenham. He became indispensable at the back during his loan spell, starting seventeen league games at centre-back.

Despite interest from Ipswich Town and Parma, Tanganga decided to return to The Den on a permanent contract after becoming a free agent in the summer, a decision he attributed to his strong relationship with the club.

"It was pretty clear that's why I came back, because we did have a good relationship during the loan spell here," Tanganga said.

"I enjoyed as well being able to play consistently and that was a big factor in wanting to come back, to continue that.

“I spoke to the manager in the summer and what he saw going into the future, I thought it was the right move for me to come here, come back and continue playing my football."

Returning to Millwall allowed Tanganga to continue his productive and complimentary partnership at the back with fellow centre-back Jake Cooper. “[Their partnership] is good,” Tanganga said. “It’s a continuation from last season.

We have a good understanding of each other’s strengths and that's what's important when you’re a centre-back pairing.

“Understanding each other's strengths and helping each other out. You can tell by his size he helps me with the aerial duels, and I help him cover behind. So it's a good relationship we have, continuing from the loan spell I had here.”

Tanganga was forced to sit out the opening two matches in the league after

getting a red card in the last game of the 2023-24 season.

Since his suspension was lifted, Millwall have been noticeably better at the back.

After conceding seven goals in two games, they have only conceded four goals in seven games, and have kept three clean sheets.

However, Tanganga is reluctant to take credit for the team’s defensive improvement.

“I think it's a team thing where we are well structured and we're just hard to beat,” Tanganga said. “Last season you saw that as well we were defensively strong and this season we're trying to just continue to give ourselves a foundation.

“Everybody is doing their jobs and having a structure and sticking to it. It’s about putting your body on the line and kind of dying for the cause.”

Their defensive improvement was no more evident than in their recent 0-0 draw away at West Bromwich Albion. The Lions restricted one of the best attacking sides in the league to just three shots on

target, despite the Baggies having 79 per cent of the ball.

“It [the point against West Brom] was very important because we came off the back of a loss to Cardiff where we didn't play our best football and conceded a goal to a set piece, which is an area we’re very strong at,” Tanganga said.

“I think it was very important going to West Brom, a team that's favoured to be in playoffs or to get promoted, to show our defensive resilience and to show that we can do it. We showed that we are strong defensively and we can continue that from last season.”

The recent international break disrupted Millwall’s momentum after earning an impressive point, but a run of four home games in their next six fixtures will give the Lions plenty of opportunities to pick up steam.

Tanganga wants to turn the Den into a fortress.

“At home, last season we were pretty strong, and I think this season as well,” Tanganga said. “Some of the games

me, and obviously being Millwall's record goalscorer himself, he knows how to score goals,” Watmore said.

“He's been great to listen to and he gives me the freedom to get in those positions and the belief to make those forward runs.”

The 30-year-old Mancunian is now in his third season in a Millwall shirt, and is one of the most experienced attackers at the club, especially at the Championship level.

Watmore, George Honeyman and the injured Tom Bradshaw are the only attacking players at the club with significant minutes in the Championship.

Starting striker Macaulay Langstaff played in League Two last year, while the other six

forwards in the first team are all under the age of 24.

This includes precocious talent Romain Esse, who started for England Under-20s against Italy last Thursday, and is reportedly being monitored by Crystal Palace.

Watmore has embraced his more senior role in the squad.

"As you do get a bit older and a bit more experienced, you do have that kind of added responsibility to help out where you can," Watmore said.

"We've got so many talented players and the young lads coming through are so talented that quite often they know exactly what to do and they've got more ability.

"You just help them out with little

things here and there if possible, but most of the time it's just let them play and I enjoy watching them get better and better."

Several of Watmore’s goals have come as a result of some slick interchange between attackers, something he attributes to work in training.

"We work on that in the training ground," Watmore said. "We work on patterns. We work on attacking shape.

“We work on how we can get in and be effective against the opposition defence. I think it helps that we all [the front four] get on. As a whole team, we've been creating a lot more and been forward thinking."

against Sheffield Wednesday and Preston you can see how strong we are.

“Even against Luton, we may have lost but you can see how strong we are. Not just the players but the fans, and the community, how strong we are at home.

“So I think it's important in those two games that the teams that come down fear coming to The Den and I think that's what we're trying to implement.

Hopefully we can get points out of those games and then continue on.”

Tanganga’s performances at the back have earned him plenty of credit with the fans. They have given him a chant set to the tune of ‘I’m gonna be (500 Miles)’ by the Proclaimers.

"It [the chant] is cool," Tanganga said.

"It has a nice little ring to it. Every time I hear it [the song], I just think of my name or if fans see me they sing it.

"It's a nice feeling. You want to be cheered on and appreciated by your fans. So it’s a nice feeling and like I said I definitely know more about The Proclaimers."

Watmore embraces role as mentor to young stars EXCLUSIVE

By Will Scott Millwall forward duncan watmore praised the talent and maturity of his side’s young attackers while embracing his growing leadership role.

Watmore has had a fantastic start to the season, and is the Championship’s third-top scorer after scoring five goals in eight league starts. No other Millwall player has scored more than two goals in the league.

Millwall boss Neil Harris was a potent goalscorer in his playing days and he has clearly rubbed off on Watmore.

harris warNs of raMs threat Millwall boss wary of Derby's physicality

EXCLUSIVE

By Will Scott Millwall Boss Neil harris warned of derby county’s physicality ahead of his side’s clash with the rams at the den on saturday. .

Derby have endured mixed fortunes this season, but will be supported by a raucous sold-out away end, and will pose a threat from set-pieces and crosses.

Harris identified several battles his Millwall side will have to win if they want to take home all three points. “[The key battles are] all over the

pitch against Derby,” Harris said.

"They’re a physical side. We have to defend our penalty box well. They ask a lot of questions of your backline and ask a lot of questions at set plays.

"They’re a very dominant set play team, very aggressive. I saw a lot of them last year in League One and I've seen a lot of them this year already.

They get a lot of first contact in both boxes.

“We’re going to have to defend our box very well. The shape they play, they adjusted in the last away game at Sunderland but still made it about their full-backs and their wide players. So there’s going to be a key battle in the wide areas."

Millwall head into Saturday’s game rested and refreshed after last week’s international break.

However, the break may have cost the Lions vital momentum. Their last outing was an impressive 0-0 draw away against fourth-placed West Bromwich Albion, who have some of the best attackers in the league.

“We came off the back of that game [against West Brom] galvanised, rejuvenated and excited and looking forward to the Derby game,” Harris said. “Then we had to wait two weeks.”

Instead, Harris is hoping to use Millwall’s flurry of home fixtures to give his side a boost.

"It seems like an age ago since we went to West Brom and got a very valuable point and had a really strong defensive performance away from home,” Harris said.

"Four out the next six games are at home before the next international break at home. So we're looking to use our home form to add to our points total and that starts with Derby.

"We've had time to look at Derby, study Derby and we know what's coming with how they set up and how they play…So we’re aware of their strengths, but also very much looking forward to imposing ourselves on them."

MYBURGH LEADS SURREY INTO NEW ERA Lions set to receive injury boost

Josh Coburn back in training

By Will Scott Neil harris suggested that the lions may have close to "a fully �it squad by the time of the next international break".

The Lions have been without several key players this season, and have been left especially light on numbers up front.

Midfielder Billy Mitchell and winger Adam Mayor have been absent since the start of the season, while forwards Josh Coburn and Tom Bradshaw have only been able to appear in two and three games respectively. Veteran defender Shaun Hutchinson has also missed the past few weeks with a slight knock.

Liverpool loanee Calum Scanlon is still recovering from a back fracture and is undergoing treatment at his parent club.

Harris confirmed to our paper that Mayor was fit enough to partake in full training, and that Mitchell, Coburn, Bradshaw and Hutchinson were able to participate in limited training.

"What the international break has done is enable us to get Adam Mayor back into full training," Harris said.

"He'll start playing in the under-21s next week to build up his fitness.

"Billy Mitchell, Shaun Hutchinson, Josh Coburn and Tom Bradshaw are back on to the training pitch and in and around the group.

"They’re not fully training with us yet, but hopefully will be in the next ten to fourteen days, which boosts our squad hugely…hopefully we’ll have a fully fit squad by the time of the next international break other than Calum Scanlon."
