ASSEMBLY MEMBER BREAKS PARTY RANKS OVER THE CLOSURE OF POLICE COUNTERS

By Kumail Jaffer Local Democracy Reporter

SIR SADIQ Khan has come under increasing pressure to intervene and ask the Metropolitan Police to rethink their proposals on scrapping almost half of station front counters in London.

Labour’s spokesperson for Policing and Crime in City Hall Marina Ahmad has become the second party representative to break ranks and come out publicly against the Metropolitan Police’s decision.

Assembly Members have been critical of the fact that the proposals are considered an operational decision for the Met Police, meaning no public consultation, which could reveal the full extent of the strength of feeling against the closures, is needed.

Ms Ahmed is the Assembly Member for Southwark and Lambeth both borough have retained their 254 hour counters at Walworth and Brixton, but 18 others across London are on the list for closure.

Ms Ahmad said: “The Met police should consult publicly on these proposals. It is essential that the Met police engage with Londoners, consult on proposals and seek views on how this might impact the same communities that they are working hard to rebuild trust with.

“Front counters provide a visible and accessible public presence. They are often the first point of contact for vulnerable people including those fleeing domestic abuse, rough sleepers and people in crisis as well as those who do not have internet access.

“While my colleagues and I recognise the very real financial pressures the Met is facing following 14 years of austerity, we do not believe this decision is acceptable.”

Last week the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) revealed the start of the unrest in Labour’s ranks about the closures, which were revealed prior to an Extraordinary Public Meeting in City Hall last Wednesday.

City and East Assembly Member Unmesh Desai told the LDRS that the impact of closing the 24-hour front counter at Bethnal Green Police Station would have a “devastating” impact on the community.

Labour MPs have also campaigned for the Met to rethink their choice, which they say will save £7million at a time when the force needs to make up a £260million funding gap.

Margaret Mullane, the MP for Dagenham and Rainham, has said the front counter at Dagenham Police Station is “the last place to physically report crime” in her constituency.

Labour MP Danny Beale, who represents Uxbridge and South Rusilip, told the Democracy Reporting Service that the planned closure of the front desk at Hayes Police Station is “disappointing and unacceptable.”

He added: “As a Member of Parliament for the neighbouring constituency in Hillingdon, I know that many of my residents rely on the accessibility of the Hayes front desk as the only in person reporting mechanism in the Borough.

“Since my election in July, I have met and spoken to residents and victims regarding the impact of crime in our borough. I am incredibly proud of the work this Government has done so far reverse the trend of historic cuts to the Metropolitan Police’s funding — with an additional £65 million when compared to the 2024-25 settlement, equating to 31.1% real terms increase. However, due to over a decade of underfunding, it is clear more support is

needed.

“The Metropolitan Police’s decision to close the front desk and thus reduce accessibility and availability to the community would be a significant step in the wrong direction.

“Following the announcement, I have written to the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, and the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, to outline my significant concerns regarding this decision and asking them to think again.”

The Mayor of London did not attend the Extraordinary London Assembly meeting last week, instead sending his Deputy Mayor of Policing and Crime Kaya Comer-Schwartz.

Last month Sir Sadiq defended plans to shut the counters, saying that in some areas, “frankly speaking, nobody uses the front counters after office hours”.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service asked the Mayor’s Office whether he would intervene and ask the Met Police to rethink their decision but did not get a direct response.

Ms Comer-Schwartz told the Democracy

Reporting Service today:“Nothing is more important to the Mayor and I than keeping Londoners safe and we are determined to continue doing all we can to support Sir Mark Rowley deliver a New Met for London, putting neighbourhood policing at the heart of communities.

“The proposed changes to police counters are an operational decision for the Met – based on resources, funding and public demand for services.

“After over a decade of cuts worth over a billion under the previous government, the Met is facing an extremely difficult financial situation. The Mayor and I are working closely with the Met to boost visible neighbourhood policing in our communities and are having ongoing discussions with Ministers and the Commissioner about the funding the Met needs to ensure we can continue building a safer London for everyone.”

A Met spokesperson told the Democracy Reporting Service: “Just 5% of crimes were reported using front counters last year, with only 1% of these being made during the night. At the busiest front counter in London on average 15 crimes are reported a day – less than one an hour – and in the least busy, only 2.5 crimes are reported a day.

“Londoners tell us they want

front counters will save £7million and 3,752 hours of police officer time per month

resources relentlessly on tackling crime and putting more officers into neighbourhoods

“Londoners tell us they want to see more officers on our streets. The decision to reduce and close some front counters will save £7million and 3,752 hours of police officer time per month allowing us to focus resources relentlessly on tackling crime and putting more officers into neighbourhoods

SIX THINGS NOT TO MISS AT THIS YEAR’S BERMONDSEY CARNIVAL

By Evie Flynn

BERMONDSEY CARNIVAL is returning to Southwark Park on Bank Holiday Monday (25 August) with free music, food and community activities for the whole family.

We have compiled six of the unmissable acts, activities and characters to keep an eye out for at this years festival.

When: Monday 25th August, 1PM – 9PM

Where: Southwark Park, SE16

Entry: FREE for all! No formal ticket required, but organisers ask that you sign up if you plan to attend, to help them gauge attendee numbers.

DJ LUCK & MC NEAT:

This year's headliners UK Garage royalty DJ Luck and MC Neat will bring the heat to the carnival.

From A Little Bit of Luck to Masterblaster 2000, their anthems shook sound systems from the Elephant all the way down the Old Kent Road over two decades ago.

These chart-topping pioneers helped put UK Garage on the map, blending smooth bars with baselines built for the dance floor.

Expect a high-energy set that will have Southwark Park bouncing and will be a true nod to the golden days of Garage and the beats that still get Bermondsey moving.

THE BEAT:

The 2 Tone era of the '70s and '80s welcomed Ska revivalists to the music scene. One of the bands to emerge was The

Beat, who will bring a blast of ska, reggae and punk fusion to Bermondsey Carnival.

Known for hits like Mirror in the Bathroom, Hands Off…She’s Mine and Can’t Get used to Losing You, their socially conscious lyrics made them a defining voice of the 2 Tone movement.

Following the passing of founding member Ranking Roger his son Ranking Jnr has taken up the mic to keep the Beat’s spirit alive for future generations. Their set in Southwark Park will celebrate the past but still move the crowd today.

'BERMONDSEY'S NO1 DJ’, DJ NOEL:

After the Beat, a local favourite, DJ Noel from Bermondsey Radio will take to the stage to keep the crowd in good spirits

ready for the headliners.

Noel is known as “Bermondsey’s Number One DJ” and will be spinning club anthems and feel-good tunes. He’s been working with the Bermondsey Carnival and has performed alongside the likes of Chaz & Dave, The Real Thing, The Proclaimers and Alexander O’Neal. He will play hits from Amy Winehouse, Oasis, The Jam and dance music he says “everyone will know.”

Noel, 64, has had a long association with the festival and told us: “I am excited do my stuff for my local people and getting them out in the park singing dancing and enjoying themselves.”

KINETIKA BLOCO:

Bringing colour, movement and rhythm

to Bermondsey Carnival, Kinetika Bloco is a vibrant performance company who blend influences from Brazil, Africa, the Caribbean and New Orleans.

They are known for their dazzling costumes and infectious energy and they’ve worked with the likes of the Royal Albert Hall, Notting Hill Carnival and even taken their unique sounds to international festivals.

This year, 40 of their young musicians and fancers will parade through the festival before taking over the main stage for a high-energy finale.

Kinetika Bloco will also be running a hands-on workshop in the Carnival’s Activities Area, which will give festivalgoers a chance to learn their moves and beats.

TAI CHI:

Bermondsey Carnival will be kicking off in a calm yet powerful style.

Local wellbeing practitioners Emma and Barry from TaiChiLife will be leading a group activity.

Barry will take to the main stage for an interactive Tai Chi performance, inviting the crowd to join in and experience the ancient practice.

Gentle yet energising, Tai Chi is known to improve balance, boost flexibility, reduce stress and leave you feeling more focused and relaxed.

Later in the day, festival-goers can head to the Activities Area for a Tai Chi workshop with the TaiChiLife team, a chance to slow down, breathe, and discover the benefits for yourself. www.taichilife.com

RAFE X GRACEY GREY:

Bermondsey’s own Rafe and Gracey Grey will close down the Carnival’s dance tent in style for an unmissable final 30 minutes.

They are known for genre-hopping sets that blend house music and some curveballs- proiding an energypacked set that will keep the crowd moving until the very end.

Anyone who was there last year will remember just how electric the final hour felt WITH a mix of big drops, unexpected tunes and pure community vibes. This year, expect even more: bigger basslines, bolder blends, and a proper Bermondsey send-off to the Dance Tent.

EXCLUSIVE

A DULWICH homeowner was left baffled after his property racked up '£20,000 in repairs' because of a massive lime tree outside his house - which the council has now agreed to cut down after we got in touch.

Ian Mitchell has lived on Upland Road in East Dulwich with his wife since the 1990s. The 50-year-old lime tree stood proudly on the pavement just metres beyond his front door.

Glory says council contractors trashed her home after failing to fi x her mould problem in 2020

The 77-year-old first began to notice cracks had formed in the brickwork at the front of his home in 2014. After spending months trying to figure out the root cause of the problem, tree experts confirmed the lime was to blame, the roots of which had extended beneath his property and started sucking moisture from the soil, destabilising the house's foundations.

Ian reckons that cash-strapped Southwark Council has now spent up to £20,000 on repairing damage to his property caused by the lime treewhich an expert told us wouldn't cost more than £1,000 to cut down 'at most'.

After we contacted the council, we were told they had scheduled for the removal of the tree before the end of the month. Ian contacted us on Friday, August 15, to confirm that the tree had been cut down earlier that day.

Rather than fell the tree, Southwark Council previously twice sent repair teams to plaster over the cracks which have repeatedly formed outside Ian's house since 2014.

But without tackling the root of the problem, each time it did not take long before even wider cracks begin to reappear in the brickwork. The latest crack is 4-inches deep and snakes beneath Ian's front window sill, which is now being propped up by makeshift wooden supports to prevent the entire structure from crashing down.

“The bit that gets to me the most is the waste of taxpayer's money,” Ian said. “I don’t know what the amount is, but I think they could have been paying £10,000 each time, £20,000 in total.” On top of that, he reckoned the council would have had to cough up a further £20,000 to address the latest damage.

"If it is a root problem then just repairing the cracks isn’t going to resolve it because you’re not dealing with the issue," said Nick Cremer, a tree surgeon at the South London Tree Service. "You can keep repairing the

DULWICH HOMEOWNER LEFT BAFFLED AFTER TREE OUTSIDE HOME

cracks, but they will just reappear when the tree is demanding more water."

Asked if there were any legal protections that could prevent the council from cutting down a tree, Nick said that there were "none whatsoever" and added: "If the tree is on council property, the council has ultimate say."

Nick continued that people "often wrongly assume that certain tree species are legally protected. A lot of people mistakenly believe that about oak trees - but there are no trees that are more protected than the others. The council don’t put preservation

orders on their own trees because no one can touch them without their permission."

Homes in London are particularly vulnerable to subsidence cracks because most of the capital is built on London Clay, a soil variation which is prone to seasonal variations in moisture content. During dry summer weather, the soil shrinks which can lead to ground movement and cause homes to move on their foundations.

"Every year the soil dries a bit or gets wet and everybody’s houses round here move a bit. But this is much worse than that because it’s the tree actually

sucking the water out," said Ian.

"London Clay is notorious for shrinkage," agreed Cremer. "The most important factor is the soil - the tree just makes a bad situation worse. In summer there is less rain and the soil will shrink anyway, but the tree is at its most demanding in summer."

Although unable to provide an estimate of the cost of felling the tree outside Ian's home, Cremer said it "wouldn't cost £20,000 to cut even the most enormous lime down - it would be £1,000 at most."

Councillor Portia Mwangangye said: “We appreciate the distress

caused with the ongoing repair issue. Through thorough investigation, we have confirmed that the tree has been a contributory factor in the current damage to the property. In this particular, the cause of the damage was not immediately obvious, hence the need to collate evidence and careful monitoring.

“Since establishing a clear cause, we’ve scheduled the removal of the tree, which is due to be completed by the end of the month. We remain engaged in the ongoing compensation process and are committed to honouring the outcome once agreed.”

'OUR STREET IS LIKE ONE BIG DRUG SUPERMARKET'

EXCLUSIVE

By Issy Clarke

RESIDENTS OF a block of flats in Walworth claim their street has been reduced to a "drug supermarket" which left them unable to open their windows because of the stench of fumes from illegal substances, even when it was almost 40 degrees outside.

After 7pm each night until the early hours of the morning, residents say the corner of Stead Street and Brandon Street in Walworth is transformed into a "scene out of Michael Jackson's Thriller music video", as an intimidating drug users gather on the pavement, fill the air with fumes, and blare deafening music.

Cowan House, a small housing block which stands at the corner of Stead Street, and Brandon Street, looms directly above the section of the street favoured by the culprits.

Terrified residents - who spoke to the us on an anonymous basis for fear of reprisals - say they have had enough of the disruption and are desperate for the authorities to take a tougher line.

“First they arrived in small groups. But in the last three months it has become like a drug supermarket. Sometimes I come home from work on a Friday night and it’s literally like a carnival down there," said one homeowner who has lived in Cowan House for almost a decade.

He said the problems were down to "mostly adult men and women" but added that, more worryingly, he had also

seen children and toddlers in prams on a number of occasions.

"At any one time there will be about 20 people, all smoking different things. They have a boom box and play unbearably loud music - it is really unpleasant," he added.

Periodically, the blaring music is interrupted by the piercing sound of a car screeching to a dramatic halt - the sound allegedly created when one of the group 'leaps into the middle of the road'.

"Have you seen the Michael Jackson Thriller music video, you know the zombies? That's what it looks like down there," he said.

Earlier this summer the disruption was so bad that despite the scorching heatwaves, residents were unable to open their windows because of the noise and the drug fumes wafting up from the street below.

Residents claim the drug users used to congregate in nearby Nursery Park just down the road before they moved to the Stead Street Brandon Street corner around March. One told us: "It is a beautiful little park, with a nice playground for kids and space for dog walkers. But no one was using it because the junkies were occupying it - until the council told them they had to leave."

Residents believe that the effect of their removal from the park was to shift the problem onto them. "This place has become really comfortable for them because they are between all the drug dealers in the park and near two corner shops," a resident said.

He added that a ledge outside an office

premises on the ground floor of Cowan House sheltered from the elements by an overhang makes the corner "even more comfortable".

Some residents want to see two nearby corner shops banned from serving alcohol at night - but others state that the ample supply of supermarkets and corner shops in the area mean this would do little to address the problem.

We spoke to an employee at a bar and music venue opposite the spot where the group gathers each night, who told us they have recently employed security to deter drug addicts from wandering into the outdoor seating area out front.

“We’ve had to employ a security guard because of people drifting in, begging for money who are clearly off their faces,” one employee told us. She said they were not violent or dangerous, but that their presence created an "awkward environment for customers".

Meanwhile, residents claim neither the police nor the council has been prepared to take responsibility for the problemalthough the Met told us local policing teams have increased their patrols in the area.

"The police are under-resourced, and they have more serious problems to deal with," a resident said. "They passed it onto Southwark Council's ASB team, who said it has to be attached to an actual address so they can prosecute whoever lives there. But since it is on the corner of the building, they can't do that."

When we got in touch, the Met informed us it had been taking steps to tackle the problem, including "enforcing a dispersal

zone from midday on Friday, 11 July to midday on Sunday, 13 July" where those causing disruption were "directed to leave the area and were unable to return". However, two residents told us that they "could not recall" this happening and said: "Either way, a month later our 'hot corner' is expanding and thriving."

The problems faced by residents of Stead Street / Brandon Street come as the council recently announced it is consulting on bringing in a Public Spaces Protection Order which would empower officials to fine people engaged in certain forms of anti-social behaviour.

The council has not released details of where or what forms of ASB the order might encompass and they did not respond when asked if it could be implemented on Stead Street and Brandon Street.

In other boroughs where the policy is in place, councils can issue fines of up to £100 for activities such as rowdy public drinking and playing loud music in open spaces.

It isn't the first time residents of Cowan House have faced difficulties with antisocial behaviour. The building's bike store - once filled with rows of bicycles - now lies barren after it was allegedly taken over by drug-taking homeless people a few years ago.

"We would come down and find women's underwear and used syringes," recalled a resident. The homeless people have since departed - but residents suspect some of the same people are among those now causing problems on Stead Street / Brandon Street.

Cllr Natasha Ennin, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Neighbourhoods, said: “Our aim is to create a safe, welcoming and pleasant living space for all residents across Southwark. In order to do this, we sometimes have to tackle antisocial behaviour and we take this responsibility very seriously.

“We are in correspondence with the local Safer Neighbourhoods Team about Stead Street, who are responding with increased patrols to ensure no more disruption takes place.

“We will be doing significant levels of engagement with local residents in the coming week about community safety and our wider Area Action Plan for Walworth.”

A spokesperson for the Met Police said: "We understand the concerns of the local community and the area around Nursery Row Park including Stead Street has been the focus of several police operations led by the North Walworth neighbourhood policing team in recent weeks.

"This included enforcing a dispersal zone from midday on Friday, 11 July to midday on Sunday, 13 July. Those causing harassment, alarm or distress to the community were directed to leave the area and were unable to return.

"The local neighbourhood team continue to work closely with the local community and Southwark Council to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in and around Nursery Row Park. Patrols have also increased in the area.

"Anyone with concerns or information that may assist police is asked to call 101 quoting CAD9619/11July."

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL FORCED TO HAND BACK £500K TO MOTORISTS WRONGLY FINED

It was only uncovered when a member of the Free Traffic Legal Advice forum submitted a Freedom of Information request after noticing the error

By Issy Clarke

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL has been forced to hand back £500,000 to thousands of motorists who were unlawfully fined for driving in bus lanes across the borough.

The council issued 10,000 penalty charge notices (PCNs) between February and July 2025 to cars caught driving on bus lanes by CCTV cameras.

The fines were only uncovered when Phillip Morgan, a member of the Free Traffic Legal Advice forum, submitted an Freedom of Information request (FOI) after noticing “the incorrect template was copied over the bus lane template”, leading the council to notice the "administrative error".

Morgan told a national paper it was one of the "worst examples of administrative incompetence" he had ever encountered.

He said: “The question must be asked: how much do Southwark council taxpayers pay for this incompetence and how much does it cost to send out

by post faulty tickets and equally faulty notices of rejection?”

Cllr Victor Chamberlain, leader of the Southwark Liberal Democrats, also accused the council of 'incompetence', stating: "Southwark Labour has been caught out again — illegally fining thousands of drivers and wasting huge sums of money.

"This is not just an embarrassing mistake, it’s yet another example of incompetence from a Council that cannot get the basics right. Residents are paying the price for this chaos and they deserve so much better from their local authority."

Southwark Council has said it "will recover the full cost of the refunds from the contractors.”

It comes after the council announced in January that it would be refunding over £100,000 to drivers fined for using a Rotherhithe bus lane that did not legally exist for months.

In October 2024 we revealed that motorists were being fined for driving down the bus lane on Lower Road -

even though the Traffic Management Order for the lane expired in May 2024.

Without a valid TMO, the bus lane legally ceased to exist.

An experimental traffic order had been in place since October 2022 but expired after just eighteen months.

This meant that any PCNs issued from this location after May were ‘invalid’ and the council had to refund them.

The discovery, which the council put down to an ‘administrative error’, was brought to light after a local business owner wanted to contest his fine.

Recently Lambeth Council had to hand back nearly £100,000 to motorists who were wrongly fined in relation to a low traffic scheme in Dulwich which was overturned by the High Court earlier in the year.

As of August 4, Lambeth had processed 1137 refunds and handed back £93,494 in PCNs issued under the West Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN). In total the council acquired £1,080,580 in fines from the scheme.

The LTN was overturned by the High Court in May after a judge found the council had not consulted residents properly before installing the traffic restrictions between Rosendale and Norwood Road.

Last month, Lambeth Council announced it had taken down the traffic cameras and started the process of refunding more than £1 million in wrongful penalty charge notices (PCNs) it earned from the West Dulwich LTN. Residents can still apply for a refund via an online form.

Responding to the recent error, James McAsh, Southwark Council’s cabinet

member for Clean Air, Streets and Waste, said: “Between February and June this year, an administrative error by one of our contractors led to some bus lane penalty notices being issued incorrectly. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

“All affected motorists will receive refunds, and any unpaid notices will be cancelled. We have reviewed all other notices and found no further issues. We are also strengthening our checks with contractors to make sure this does not happen again.

“The council will recover the full cost of the refunds from the contractors.”

Guy's Hospital chemical incident: one injured and several treated for chlorine gas inhalation

By Issy Clarke

TWO FLOORS of Guy's were evacuated last Thursday morning (14 August) after firefighters were called to reports of a 'chemical incident' in a non-patient area of the hospital.

One staff member was injured and several people who attempted to help them were treated for the inhalation of chlorine gas. The hospital confirmed that the site has now reopened and has advised people to continue to attend their appointments unless contacted directly.

The Brigade said the incident is believed to have been caused by the 'mixing of chemicals inside a plant room which produced a chlorine gas'.

Two fire engines, two Fire Rescue Units, a Command Unit and specialist hazardous materials officers attended the scene.

A London Brigade spokesperson said:

"Firefighters have carried out a sweep of the area to check for no elevated readings of chlorine gas. The building has also been ventilated. Crews also supported with the precautionary evacuation of the basement and ground floors of the building."

The Brigade was first called about the incident at 8:49am, with crews from Whitechapel, Dowgate, Euston and surrounding fire stations sent to the scene.

The incident was over for firefighters by 11:09 am.

A spokesperson for Guy’s and St Thomas’ said: “The London Fire Brigade attended a chemical incident in a non-patient area of Guy’s Hospital today. One staff member was injured and several people, who came to the aid of the person, were treated for the inhalation of chlorine gas.

“The site has now reopened and people should attend their appointments unless they are contacted by us directly.”

QUEEN OF THE SOUTH PUB 'SAVED'

By Issy CLarke

CALLS BY a renowned South London publican to “Save our Queen” appear to have worked, after Young's Pubs said they have accepted an offer made by landlord Clement Ogbonnaya for the Queen of the South in Tulse Hill.

Clement announced the good news on his Instagram page on Thursday (14 August), stating that a “deal had been done” with the pub group.

Clement is now looking to raise £500k to complete the purchase of the freehold. He is asking punters to invest in the business in exchange for a share of the profit, according to his Instagram post.

The popular pub teetered on the brink of closure last week after Clement said he feared his offer to buy the freehold was not going to be accepted and that it could be turned in flats or a Tesco.

Yet Young’s was quick to tell the News they had “not had any conversations with any other potential bidders” apart from Clement and keeping pubs was ‘an important part of their ethos.’

Calling on viewers to “Save our Queen” on Instagram, Clement urged punters to donate to a crowdfund to keep the pub open and by the end of the week it appeared Young's had accepted the offer. Clement, who is also behind the hugely popular Prince of Peckham pub, revealed he had been slapped with a deadline

by Young's pubs to either purchase the freehold or risk losing the space forever.

On Wednesday (6 August) Clement revealed his bid for the freehold had been rejected during a meeting with representatives from Young's earlier that day. He said he was waiting until Monday for the pub company to reach a final decision on his offer. He did not disclose the amount he offered, but a

crowdfunder set up to support his bid was set to £100,000.

But on Friday (8 August) the pub group told the Mirror that it had formally accepted Clement's bid to buy the freehold. A spokesperson for Young's said: "We are pleased to confirm that we have accepted Clement Ogbonnaya’s offer to buy the freehold of the Queen of the South pub in Tulse Hill."

Grab a copy of our programme, check our website for full details and follow our socials for the latest news.

The festival brings local communities together for unique indoor and outdoor screening events across SE15. But it only happens thanks to the hard-working volunteers who plan and run it.

We’re looking for new volunteers to join the friendly team, please get in touch to find out more and get involved.

The Queen of the South on Norwood Road was opened in 2023 by Clement Ogbonnaya, who runs the hugely successful Prince of Peckham pub on Clayton Road.

At the time, following the enormous success of the Prince of Peckham, Ogbonnaya told this newspaper that his ultimate aim was to open five more community pubs in as many years.

First stop was Tulse Hill, with Clement telling us: “Like Peckham, Tulse Hill is a community-driven area, which is integral to our business model. At the core of everything we do is a goal of providing an inclusive space for the local community.

“Ultimately, we want to give Tulse Hill residents a home away from home, and something they can call their own.

“Tulse Hill is the area my wife grew up in and where I owned my first property. Through selling it, I was able to fund the opening of Prince of Peckham, which started my journey into pub ownership. This feels like coming full circle.”

Clement sees his pubs as about more than about drinking booze - in both of his locations he works collaboratively with local businesses and community groups to create a space where people can come together and bring about positive change. The Prince of Peckham is one of just a few public houses in Southwark which is used as a warm hub for those struggling to pay their energy bills.

In both establishments he aims to create as an events-led space, with activities programmed for every day of the week, giving local creatives a chance to showcase their talent. They run traditional pub activities like quizzes and comedy shows, but have been keen to put on art exhibitions, dance performances, wellbeing classes and panel discussions.

ST THOMAS THE APOSTLE ACHIEVE HIGHEST A LEVELS

94% of all grades were A*-C

By Evie Flynn

THIS WEEK marked A Level Results

Day 2025 and St Thomas the Apostle School and Sixth Form College (STAC) in Nunhead has achieved the highest number of A* and A grades the school has ever seen.

The sixth form had a 100% pass rate across all subjects and 73% of all grades were A*- B. 61% of all students achieved at least one A* or A grade, which the school said: “represents the hard work that students, teachers and families are all immensely proud of.”

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

● 42% of all grades were A* to A

● 94% of all grades were A* to C

● 21% of all students achieved straight A* – A grades

● 95% of all students secured their preferred university place

For next steps, 72% of students have achieved the grades to enrol at higher tariff universities this September, such as University of Oxford, Imperial, LSE, Warwick and UCL. Seven students are planning to study medicine and three will be pursuing competitive degree apprenticeships.

Joshua, who has been at STAC since Year 7, achieved three A* grades in Chemistry, Physics and Maths. He will be attending St Hilda’s College in Oxford to study

chemistry and says “I’d like to thank all the teachers who have supported me along the way, I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Michelle and Freya both achieved three A* grades

Freya is heading to Loughborough University to study Economics and Finance. She said: “I’m so thankful for every lesson, every piece of advice, and every moment of encouragement along the way.”

Michelle, a Senior Prefect, also achieved three A* grades in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics and she is planning to forge a career in medicine.

Headteacher, Eamon Connolly said: ” As a school we are delighted with the results, which demonstrate the commitment of staff, students and families; and it is these outcomes alongside the outstanding provision beyond the classroom which prepare a STAC student for life at university, on an apprenticeship or in the workplace. I wish all students the best of luck as they embark on their next steps.’ Many students have attended the school since the beginning of Year 7, and the school is a popular choice for students who join in Year 12 from schools such as St Matthew’s Academy, Bonus Pastor Catholic College and St Savior’s and St Olave’s Church of England School. the national trend just when we’re told that A levels are made even harder the students at St Thomas the Apostle are doing brilliantly.

Another high-achiever, Freya, joined STAC after attending Sydenham School, has achieved a clean sweep of A* grades in Geography, Economics and Sociology.

“Like with all of Southwark, I’m so proud of the students, their parents and lastly their teachers and headteachers; and I wish all students the best of luck as they move forward at this exciting time.”

‘CHARIOTS OF FIRE’ RUNNERS WHO RAISED £24K ARE AMONG STUDENTS BRINGING HOME TOP A LEVELS

By Evie Flynn

CHARITY FUNDRAISERS who ran

from Paris to Scotland and raised £24k are among those bringing home top A Level grades at Eltham College

The private college surpassed last years outcomes and among them is a group of eight who ran a 680-mile relay last year to raise over £24,000 for charity.

The ran was ibn commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the gold medal won at the 1924 Paris Olympics by former pupil Eric Liddell, whose life is celebrated in the film Chariots of Fire.

Between them, they gained 28 A*-B grades and three securing all A*/A grades. Across the school as a whole, almost one-third (32%) of today’s grades were an A* and an exceptional 4 percentage points higher than last year’s results-day equivalent.

The three highest available grades (A*, A and B) remained firmly the norm for Eltham students with 92% of all results fall within this band, also up on last year.

Excellent performances across a wide range of subjects saw one in every three Eltham College students achieve a clean sweep of all A* and A grades, with better than one in seven gaining at least A*A*A*.

Superb STEM results include an

impressive 45% of candidates attaining A* and 82% A*/A in Chemistry, with 40% and 57% gaining A* grades in Maths and

Further Maths respectively. As a result, no fewer than five students have secured places to continue their scientific studies

grades were A*, and 100% A*/A, Design Technology (50% A*) and Politics (42% A*), with languages also putting in a fine showing. On the back of such strong performances, it is no surprise that the huge majority of students secured places at their first-choice universities, studying the widest range of subjects, from science and maths to humanities and the arts.

Top destinations include Durham, Exeter, UCL, King’s College, London, Bristol, Warwick and Edinburgh, as well as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial. This year also sees Eltham students accepted into top UK drama schools and conservatoires.

Headmaster Guy Sanderson says: “I am delighted by today’s results, which are so richly deserved by a cohort of students who never failed to throw themselves wholeheartedly into all the School has to offer.

“On the stage, in the concert hall, on the rugby field or netball court; hiking through mountains for DofE or running hundreds of miles to raise money for charity; these boys and girls have given their all.

“I know they will achieve great things to come and wish each and every one success and happiness as they move onto the exciting next stage in life.”

18 NEWS

By Evie Flynn

TRANSFORM TULSE Hill, a new community group, is urging Transport for London (TfL) to ‘fix the gyratory’, after numerous injuries, damaged infrastructure and several deaths over recent years.

The Tulse Hill gyratory is a large oneway junction connecting Norwood Road, Tulse Hill and the A205 South Circular. The community group, Transform Tulse Hill, are urging TfL to implement safety measures to protect pedestrians, drivers, cyclists and local businesses.

Gyratory road systems, implemented in the 1960s, are multi-lane, often one-way loop or circular road layouts designed to manage traffic flow around a central island or junction. It is similar to a large scale roundabout, but has traffic lights, complex lane changes and multiple entry and exit points. Well-known examples include Vauxhall, Aldgate and Tulse Hill.

TfL data suggests that there have been approximately 120 incidents causing injury or death around the Tulse Hill gyratory since 2010. A junior doctor, Dr Jasjot Singhota was killed by a dangerous driver on the gyratory in 2017.

Another serious incident occurred on 6 June this year, when a woman was knocked off her bike, outside Oaks Estate Agent, strikingly near the same spot Dr Jasjot was killed in 2017.

Transform Tulse Hill is a grassroots organisation set up by local residents and businesses who want to see the improvements finally implemented and in turn make the area more safe and liveable. They aim to work constructively with with TfL and the Mayor of London, who recognise the issue.

Jamie Hodge, local resident and member of Transform Tulse Hill, said: “I live locally and I’ve seen a friend knocked over, just a few weeks ago someone was knocked off their bike. I’ve seen crashes and limbs broken. It’s really depressing and I just don’t want it to happen again.

“I think that’s what a lot of people around here want, they just want the certainty to know that something’s going to be done to make it safer so we don’t have more people killed or seriously injured with life-changing injuries.”

Jamie told The News that lorries keep striking the low bridge and the wide carriageway has no central road markings, which is confusing for drivers. He said: “A number of the roads leading up to it are two way, with two lanes in total then it just suddenly widens out to create an empty racetrack.”

John Stevens, 37, has lived in Tulse Hill for 12 years and was knocked off his bike in 2014, which broke his pelvis and shattered his jaw in eight different places. He said: “I was cycling from Norwood Road towards Brockwell Park and a car didn’t stop at the gyratory traffic light.”

The car hit John metres from where Dr Jasjot Singhota was knocked down and killed three years later in 2017.

John describes the junction as a ‘racetrack’ and blames the confusing road for the crash: “It was due to the road design, I didn’t ever have any animosity to the guy himself as he just misread the confusing traffic light.” John didn’t ride his bike for five years after the crash but has returned to cycling recently, however, he is extra cautious of dangerous roads like the gyratory after years of physio.

TfL recognise the issue and have been planning large-scale improvement at the Tulse Hill junction for over a decade, after studies showed cars travelling at or above the speed limit. They also discovered vehicles dangerously weaving to change lanes close to the

TULSE HILL ‘IT IS LIKE LIVING BY A RACETRACK’

zebra crossings.

Interim safety measures were implemented by TfL in December 2024, in response to a pedestrian suffering life threatening injuries. However, permanent improvements have been stalled for financial reasons, despite extensive consultation between TfL and Tulse Hill residents between 2013 and 2017.

Olga Fitzroy and Saleha Jaffer, Lambeth councillors, and London Assembly member Marina Ahmad joined forces with local MPs Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Helen Hayes and Steve Reed in June to write to London Mayor Sadiq Khan to urge him to make funding available for the scheme.

The letter to Khan references the £2.2 billion funding settlement that TfL received in the recent spending review and without the improvements, the signees claims: “pedestrians will continue to be killed and injured, infrastructure will be continue to be

damaged by collisions and the town centre will be held back from fulfilling its potential.”

A public meeting was held on 23 July, attended by 84 people, and the group set in place tangible ideas on how to improve the gyratory:

Tracking speeding: Implement speed cameras, better signage and road markings

Improving the public realm: To encourage more visitors and shoppers, encouraging dwell time and support local businesses

Safety for cyclists: Designated cycle lanes

Roadside access: Better access for deliveries and parking for businesses, disabled and elderly people

Making traffic two-way, widening pavements, planting trees

Many large junctions across London

have been improved in recent years, such as the re-introduction of two-way traffic at the Elephant and Castle junction in 2015, for the first time in 50 years, after more than 80 collisions in the space of three years.

Local MP Steve Reed, who is also the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, is giving the campaign group his backing, he said: “I met with residents living near the gyratory earlier this year. It was clear that it is dangerous and outdated.

Accidents happen far too often, the layout encourages speeding, and lanecutting puts pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers at constant risk.

“Although plans to fix this have existed for years with Transport for London consulting residents over a decade ago, apart from some small interim changes to the road layout, the project has seemingly stalled.

“Other parts of London are seeing

dangerous gyratories transformed, and it’s time that Tulse Hill got the same treatment- with safety, not speed, put first. I fully support the community campaign to deliver the change.”

A TfL spokesperson said: “Keeping everyone travelling in the capital safe is our top priority and we are doing all we can to improve road safety by investing in vital transport infrastructure, including in our roads.

“We completed works at Tulse Hill Gyratory in December 2024 to improve safety for pedestrians and other road users in this area by slowing the speed of traffic on approach to the crossings. Working closely with Lambeth Council, we continue to explore options for longer-term change at this gyratory.”

RAPIST KNOWN TO POLICE AS ‘ONE OF LONDON’S MOST DANGEROUS OFFENDERS’ GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE

bodily harm and two charges of actual bodily harm and was found guilty of controlling and coercive behaviour.

years in prison

He has been given a minimum sentence of 12

By Issy Clarke

A MAN from Lewisham described by police as one of London’s most dangerous offenders has been given a life sentence for rape and sexual assault.

Clinton Easy, 32, from Catford was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum sentence of 12 years on Thursday, 14 August at Woolwich Crown court.

It followed an investigation by Met detectives using the force’s ‘V100’ programme’ which uses data to identify and target the men who pose the highest risk to women.

This allows the force to focus the efforts of local and specialist Met officers across London on reducing the threat posed by the most dangerous perpetrators and protecting potential victims from the devastating damage they cause.

The sentencing followed two trials.

During the first trial beginning in July 2024, Easy pleaded guilty to grievous

The second trial began in May 2025 where Easy was found guilty of two charges of rape.

Officers were alerted to Easy’s offending following a report made by the victim on 11 January 2024.

Earlier in the evening, police said Easy had subjected the victim to multiple rapes within her own home, after persuading her to allow him to enter her property.

Threatening her with extreme violence, Easy had bound the victim’s hands while he assaulted her.

A report was made by the victim within hours of the offending taking place, and so officers worked resourcefully to obtain photos of injuries and collect evidence from the scene of the offending, including a cup of Easy’s urine which had been thrown.

Through speaking to the victim, detectives uncovered a pattern of offending which had begun with controlling behaviours against the victim, where Easy would take her phone and post on her social media accounts.

It became apparent that Easy’s offending had been ongoing for over a year with medical records acquired

MAN FOUND GUILTY OF KILLING HIS MOTHER

By Kevin Quinn

A 29-YEAR-OLD man was convicted last week of the manslaughter of his own mother in their Clapham home. It what police describe as ‘tragic incident’ Donald Yeboah ‘brutally assaulted his mother, while his brother was sleeping in the room next door.’

The lead detective admitted that 52-year-old Leticia Brobbey had ‘expressed concerns about her sons behaviour’ earlier on the day she was attacked.

Police were called on Wednesday, 8 May, 2024, to reports of a disturbance in their flat in Clapham. Officers had to force their way into the property and found a woman, later identified as Leticia Brobbey, seriously injured at the scene. She was taken to hospital in a critical condition but sadly died of her injuries a week later on Tuesday, 14 May.

Donald Yeboah was arrested at the scene following the incident, and was taken to hospital for treatment.

He was charged with the attempted murder of his mother on Friday, 10 May, and formally charged with murder on Monday, 3 June, following Leticia’s death.

A post-mortem examination showed she had suffered multiple blunt force injuries to the head and neck, which caused a traumatic brain injury.

Following a trial at Croydon Crown Court, Donald Yeboah was found guilty on Wednesday, 13 August, of the manslaughter of his mother.

Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend from Met’s Homicide and

by detectives showing that his attacks had led to the victim to require hospital treatment on multiple occasions in 2023.

Officers established a timeline with a storyboard of evidence gathered post the events Easy was arrested following a manhunt on 1 February 2024.

The Met’s intelligence unit uses the Cambridge Crime Harm Index to help draw up a V100 chart of domestic, sex, stalking and violent crime suspects mirroring methods used by organised and anti-terror squads.

Time Spaghetti stirs old masters into a bold mix of abstraction and play

DULWICH PICTURE Gallery’s new display doesn’t belong to time past, present or future – but to time overspilled and cheerfully tangled:

Time Spaghetti, writes Emily Driver...

The works by Lisa Contucci, Clifton Wright and Stanley Ganton stage a new kind of conversation for the gallery, held, not over a dinner table, but across eras. When sharp and sustained, they prompt us to consider the gallery's old masters with a fresh set of devouring eyes.

Contucci’s process-driven art begins from photographs of works around the gallery. From here, the dramas of the Baroque are translated into ultraabstract colourscapes. That is not to say that Contucci’s art is not a drama of its own, but rather that her artworks display a drama of colour, texture and movement. In these swishes and swirls lies the trace of the original mood of inspiration: a keen eye might spot the pale blue of Antonlínez’s skyline awash in her canvas, or Poussin’s peach-clad ladies reincarnated as splodges adrift upon a scheme of colours enhanced and transposed.

The best works by Contucci are the ones that give full rein to the physicality of her materials. The choice to leave her marbled canvas visible in peeks and stretches allows for an exploration of tone and surface. Dimensionality is added

BELOVED OF tattoo artists, surfer dudes and mural painters in Camberwell, the great wave depicted in the woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai has come to symbolise a forceful time of social change in Japan, writes Ed Gray...

Wars were fought, famines suffered, and cities swelled in the turbulence of the Edo period between 1615 and 1868. Hokusai channelled his artistic prowess into timely, epic, unforgettable images that still resonate all over the world today, but Utagawa Hiroshige followed swiftly in his wake, calmly surfing those choppy waters.

In Hiroshige: Artist of the Open Road, curator Alfred Haft has brought together 175 exquisite prints, painted fans and contemporary artworks to reveal the humanity that Hiroshige was able to chisel, ink and press from blocks of wood.

Orphan son to a fire warden Hiroshige took on the role himself aged twelve before picking up a paintbrush. Initially he worked in the style of the time, creating the ‘art of the floating world’ or ukiyo-e in Japanese, depicting languorous transient beautiesoften in brothels, enveloped in decorous crisp silk kimonos as they await clients - or actors caught in a moment of heightened intensity. Insular Edo period Japan had sealed its borders, so Hiroshige turned his curious gaze inwards, a watchful eye trained on the fleeting moments in the lives of his kinsfolk and their place in the landscape, revealing scenes of pure humanity.

Soon enough the kimono drops, and Hiroshige reveals his true mastery of the artform, dexterously depicting his fellow

by acrylic, which pools into islands, and rough marble dust, which grazes the gaze. It’s art that invites immersion as well as observation; where this textured richness lapses, the paintings pack less punch. Wright’s oils and pastels teeter somewhere between abstraction and familiar forms. His large, multicanvas compositions depict bodies that seem both connected and disjointed. Exaggerated heads, miniature limbs, and jagged triangular forms rest on striking and distinctive handmade coloured paper.

Wright’s engagement with the gallery’s collection shifts between irreverence and sincerity. Sometimes Christ with the cross becomes a skull in front of clashing swords (a pirate’s flag, perhaps?). Sometimes he still carries that anguished load through his eyes, and holiness shines through in the smokey black lines that hold the fracturing quality of a Cathedral’s stained glass. It is a stunning visual language that opens itself up the more you look.

Closest in proximity to its Old Master sources is Ganton’s art – quite literally,

Heartbreak Hiro

citizens at work and leisure in stunning compositions in a timeless reverie - paeans to the simple pleasures of life. Detail, expression and pattern bring his foreground characters to life with minimal mark-making. Backgrounds are filled with deep colours, midnight blues, rose and brick red, often muted and faded - the gradation building layers and depth. Hiroshige beckons us to join him on the road and waves a circling arm at the vista in wonder.

Like any genuine city dweller, he chose to celebrate the more unexpected parts of the city, composing his scenes from the perspective of an urbanite rather than a tourist. In these spaces a flaneur will more likely find the heart of the city and her people. Umbrellas

are swiftly pulled low as sudden rainstorms scatter crowds, deeper creases are cut into the woodblock as the snow flurries intensify, pipes are lit by weary traders and women determinedly carry heavy bundles of charcoal. A drunken customer staggers, escorted from a brothel as a sex worker laughs at his shrivelled stature. Life is hard but ordered in scenes that offer escapism and certainty in uncertain times Working with 95 publishers, Hiroshige knew his market and built it with care, giving them not what they wanted but what he knew they would want, the truth about their lives laid bare, steering clear of hardships and settling instead for the soft swish of feet through snow rather than the unforgiving

hung beside them in the gallery. Flattening Lely's and Rubens’ scenes of refined sensuality into angular, unmodulated blocks of colour, he unearths the bones beneath the Baroque’s romanticised sheen. For some visitors, this bluntness might enervate the room's flow; for others, it energises the originals with playful and humorous rapport.

Time Spaghetti thrives on its premise: a lively jumbling of centuries, styles and sensibilities. The full flavour emerges if you commit to seeking these tangled connections (the folders in the room help point you to each work’s counterpart) – but even without them, the display stands strong. Wright’s pieces feel most self-sufficient, while Ganton’s contribution, with only two works beside their sources, feels a little undercommitted. In any case, under three varying artistic temperaments, familiar traditions become sites of questioning and rethinking, and, at their best, fresh affirmation. Together they remind us time isn’t just measured by the clock, but how it can be twirled, tangled and served anew.

Dulwich Picture Gallery, Gallery Road, London, SE21 7AD until January 11th 2026. Tuesday –Sunday, 10am – 5pm.

relentless cold. His wanderings took him through the natural world. He revelled in the beauty of plumage of pheasants and hawks, the floral patterns, the beauty of being present in the moment. It’s no wonder he retired to become a Buddhist monk.

The coda to this exhibition attempts to show the impact of Hiroshige’s art on the 20th century and would have benefited from even greater analysis if space allowed. Fairly inexpensive Japonisme was awash in19th C western society and impressionist and postimpressionist artists drank freely from its source, using it to replenish tired motifs and compositions. 400 woodblock prints were purchased by Theo and Vincent Van Gogh and one of those, a Plum Park in Kameido (1857), is presented here along with Vincent’s attempts to imbibe the pictorial dynamism of branches that cut into the dusky sky, as striking pink blossoms breakout across their boughs. There he is again, in Whistler’s muted Thames paintings. Herge’s Tintin illustrations and Studio Ghibli animations deserve a mention. That aside, this the first exhibition of Hiroshige’s work in 25 years and a spectacular opportunity to revisit his work.

Hiroshige’s heartbreakingly beautiful images reveal the little things that make the biggest impression. Turn off your devices, tune in and take a trip on the road in the footsteps of the old Master.

"Where’s

the Wild in This West?”

DIAMONDS AND Dust is a theatrical cocktail of Wild West grit, Vegas decadence, and immersive cabaret, writes Luigia Minichiello...

At the centre of it all is Faye Tozer, trading chart-topping pop for poker chips as the fiery Miss Kitty LeRoy.

Billed as a tale of “The good, the bad and the lucky,” it channels Deadwood meets Moulin Rouge, Dita Von Teese appearing as Lady Luck brings top tier glamour— complete with Jenny Packham’s glittering costumes and Louboutin’s killer heels. Every detail screams high production. I wanted to love Diamonds and Dust. The concept had promise: bold performances, a Western theme, beautiful burlesque, and a chance to dress up. But despite the polish, something crucial was missing.

The opening act stumbled. A disjointed song choice failed to set the tone, feeling more like a pub set than the launch of a high-octane West End spectacle. The transition into the story was muddy, and confusion lingered - especially at the interval, when guests began to leave, unsure if the show was over.

Steps star Tozer's performance was no ‘ Tragedy’, it brought charm and some live vocals in her role as Kitty LeRoy, a sharptongued bar owner: "I've been on more laps than a napkin" was a standout line. Dita Von Teese as Lady Luck, looked every inch the icon as she rode in on a sparkling pink mechanical cow. Visually dazzling, yes, but more spectacle than substance.

The male ensemble - shirtless cowboys who kept their trousers firmly on - felt more filler than feature. They brought high energy dance but little variety. They were more Bermondsey builders on a night out rather than precision performers in a slick production. A brief aerial stunt on a chandelier hinted at more daring possibilities; why not build on that?

Where was the finesse, the danger, the edge?

The show blends dance routines, lipsyncing, sequins and a fair amount of flesh. Yes, even burlesque has its limits, and I wondered if titty-fatigue is a thing. Aerial work and whip tricks offered glimpses of what the show could be, but those moments were fleeting.

The former Proud Late theatre has been revamped for the production, but tight seating made it hard to relax—or even rest a drink. The clatter of smashed glasses became part of the ambience. When the finale ended, furniture was whisked away for the club night that follows, killing any lingering magic with logistical chaos. Diamonds and Dust teeters between cabaret and theatre without fully committing to either. If you’re after a glitter-soaked party with photo ops, you’ll find it here. But if you're chasing innovation, edge and immersive storytelling, this one's still a diamond in the rough.

BILL (DAD) –Twenty Years, Still Singing

Twenty years have come and gone, Yet somehow, Dad, you still sing on. In every breeze, in every day, We hear the echoes of My Way.

You sang with heart, you sang with soul, Your voice could make the broken whole.

From Candy Store to Danny Boy, Each note you sang was purest joy.

You filled each room with light and cheer, A laugh, a hug, a voice so clear.

People gathered near your flame You lit the world just with your name. So funny, kind, and full of grace, You left a mark no time can erase. We see you still in little things In sunsets, songs, and robins wings. And though it’s been twenty years, We still remember through the tears. Your love, your voice, your gentle way Still guides us through the hardest day. So sing on, Dad, in skies above, Your melody, our endless love. You did it all in your own way And in our hearts, you’ll always stay.

Remembering Mike Mckenna

Who was sadly taken from us on 23 August 2024

You are forever a part of us, living on in the stories we tell and the lives you touched

CURRAN AND COX EASE CHAMPS TO WIN

Sam: ‘I’m just really enjoying it - it’s a lovely bunch of guys’

By ECB Media

AN ALL-ACTION display from Sam Curran and another eye-catching half-century from Jordan Cox eased reigning champions Oval Invincibles to a seven-wicket win over Southern Brave and extended their lead at the top of the table.

Set 134 to win, the Invincibles lost their openers cheaply, Will Jacks and Tawanda Muyeye both falling to Craig Overton, but Cox continued his red-hot form with a classy 37-ball 56 and Curran capped a fine all-round performance by making an unbeaten 50 from 32 deliveries.

Invincibles suffer recordbreaking defeat

Cox fell to Tymal Mills with 15 still required but captain Sam Billings struck three boundaries to ensure there were no further alarms as the visitors sealed the win with 11 balls to spare, their fourth victory in five.

The Invincibles overcame the Brave in last year’s final and they made an impressive start at Utilita Bowl, Aussie left-armer Jason Behrendorff making early inroads when he had both James Vince and Leus du Plooy caught at short third by Tom Curran, who then knocked back Laurie Evans’ off stump to leave the Brave 32-3.

Things went from bad to worse for the hosts when Rashid Khan (3-20) was thrown the ball. Six days ago, the Afghan leggie returned figures of 0-59 at Edgbaston but he was irrepressible against the Brave, striking three times in

With the Brave sinking fast at 446, Hilton Cartwright and Jordan Thompson counter-attacked, the latter making a sprightly 13-ball 24 before nicking off to Sam Curran, who then castled Cartwright (42 off 30) with a pinpoint yorker.

Curran (3-21) struck again to dismiss Jofra Archer with a super-slow delivery before Mills was the last man out, run out by the livewire Curran, to end the Brave’s innings on 133 from 98 balls, not enough to prevent last year’s runners-up slumping to a third straight defeat.

“It was a really big win. The way the table is at the moment, we knew it was such a big game, they’re a really good team,” Sam Curran said.

“I’m just really enjoying it. It’s a lovely bunch of guys. We’ve been together a while and turning up to work and playing with your mates and having coaches who know you is great.”

On sharing a 101-run partnership with Cox, he said: “He's special, the way he’s playing is incredible. The way he’s striking the ball is so clean and so skilful. Our partnership took the pressure off early. We knew they had some key bowlers and thankfully we saw them off and got the win.”

Both men’s and women’s Invincibles side are in action against Trent Rockets on Thursday (August 21). The action at the Kia Oval starts at 3pm.

“I put on a performance for you guys, so it’s now who’s next? I don’t want to call out [Oleksandr] Usyk because I don’t believe I deserve the opportunity – but guys that do deserve the opportunity, I want to fight those lot. So maybe Agit Kabayel, maybe Joseph Parker. Maybe them type of names.

OVAL INVINCIBLES suffered a record breaking 89-run defeat as Southern Brave produced a devastating allround performance at Utilita Bowl to maintain their 100 per cent record and move top of the table.

Set 162 for victory, the Invincibles could only muster 72, never recovering from a two-wicket burst by Sophie Devine (215) in her opening set, the Kiwi castling Meg Lanning with a peach before sending Lauren Winfield-Hill on her way three balls later.

When Lauren Bell (2-11) struck with consecutive deliveries, utilising the short ball to great effect to induce edges from Alice Capsey and Paige Scholfield, the visitors slumped to 28-4 and they were eventually skittled in 83 balls, Mady Villiers picking up 3-17 with her offbreaks.

Earlier, England duo Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge put on an opening stand of 59 after Brave were asked to bat, Bouchier the main aggressor in her innings of 34 from 23 before picking out Scholfield at deep mid-wicket to give Tash Farrant the breakthrough.

Wyatt-Hodge (26 from 24) was clean bowled by a Phoebe Franklin slower delivery but Laura Wolvaardt kept up the momentum, the South African cruising to a 19-ball 36 including a slog-swept six off Amanda-Jade Wellington but the Aussie leg-spinner had her revenge next ball when Lanning held on to a catch at extracover.

Freya Kemp was involved in a mix-up which saw Devine run out for 19 but the England starlet made amends with a sparky cameo, smashing two sixes in her 11-ball 24 to post a target which was well beyond the Invincibles’ reach and set up a fifth straight victory for the 2023 champions.

“I feel a bit embarrassed because today was a great team performance and there were so many people who should be standing here instead of me,” Devine said. “Today was exceptional from this group and I’m really proud of everyone.

“The great thing about this group is we’ve spoken at length about different plans and having the ability to be able to execute that is something I’ve found incredibly impressive. That should stand us in good stead come the important part of this tournament.

“For us there’s a great focus on each and every game. We’ve got some tough games coming up but we’ll celebrate our success here today. It was a comprehensive win but we certainly know we’ve got a big job to finish off this competition strongly.”

CRYSTAL PALACE took the “right first step” as they held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge in their first game of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Eagles boss Oliver Glasner said.

Eberechi Eze thought he had given Palace the lead with a brilliant freekick in the thirteenth minute. But the strike was ruled out because a Palace player, Marc Guehi, was standing too close to the Blues defensive wall, a rule introduced in 2019-20 stating an opposition player must stand at least one metre from a wall that has at least three players.

Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix had first-half chances for the visitors, before Estevao Willian, Liam Delap and Andrey Santos threatened for Enzo Maresca’s side after half-time.

Palace have now beaten the Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield and held the Club World Cup champions in their first two games of the campaign.

“I'm very pleased with the performance for most of the time,” Glasner said.

“I think just at the end, we lost the ball too quickly and gave them two or three chances, but the defensive work was excellent, the players did a great job.

“We scored, but it was disallowed. We created two, three, four chances, but we didn't score, so that's why we take this point. It was a very good performance and a very good start to the season.

“I'm always talking about progress, last year we had a disallowed free-kick at Brentford and we lost. This year we had a disallowed free-kick and we drew. So the first step is the right one.”

The rule that resulted in Eze being denied is rarely applied.

Glasner said: “Honestly, I haven't seen the free-kick, but we know the rule that you have to be one yard away from the wall.

“I think at the beginning we were. Maybe we made the step too early because you have to wait until the kicker kicks the bal. So, if this was the case, then maybe it's right.

“I think it's tricky because many teams are acting like this, but for us it's now finding solutions, adjusting. It was a great free-kick, a great goal, but unfortunately it didn't count.

“I was a little bit surprised, because VAR is handled very, very cautiously here in England, which I really appreciate. It's always about supporting the referee's on-field decision.

Palace hold Club World Cup champions at the Bridge EAGLES DENIED BY RARE RULE

“But again, it's gone, so my thoughts are on Thursday [in the Conference League play-off at home to Fredrikstad], and my great [backroom] team, who are always watching all the set-plays, will watch it again and find a solution so that in the next case it won't happen again that the goal is disallowed, and then we

can celebrate and hopefully win.”

Palace went into the game with transfer speculation around Eze and Guehi. Glasner praised his side’s focus.

“I think the players are giving the answer week by week,” Glasner said.

Bennie nets new QPR deal

By John Kelly

DANIEL BENNIE has agreed a new long-term contract with Queens Park Rangers.

The nineteen-year-old winger joined QPR’s Development Squad last summer from Perth Glory and made thirteen appearances in all competitions last season.

He scored his first goal for Julien Stephan’s side in the 3-2 defeat to Plymouth Argyle in the first round of the EFL Cup last week.

“I’m really pleased,” Bennie said. “I think since I've come I'm a completely different player. I think you can see

that in my game and how it's evolved, which is good.

“Being away from home for a year, it does help. You have to do everything by yourself and you don't have your family around to help so it's a good learning experience. I think I've really grown up and I really enjoyed my first year.

“I want to play as much as possible and keep contributing with goals and assists, and just see where that takes me.

“It’s been really good. I really enjoyed pre-season.

“I can learn some really good stuff off [Stephan] so I'm excited for what’s to come.”

R’s CEO Christian Nourry added: “This extension is a well-deserved milestone in Daniel’s journey with us. "Since arriving just over a year ago, Daniel has thrown himself into everything and developed significantly both physically and technically.”

Meanwhile, Stephan is still waiting for this first win in charge after QPR’s 2-1 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road last weekend.

Luca Kjerrumgaard scored twice before Kieran Morgan's brilliant strike in first-half stoppage-time.

QPR travel to Coventry City this Saturday for a 3pm kick-off.

- it just shows that this is such a great group of characters.

“We have no influence on all the noise and all the rumours around us, but we know what we want to do, we know how we want to play, and this is what we want to show every single game.

“The players did great and I think they showed that everybody is 100 per cent committed with Crystal Palace, otherwise it's not possible to draw here against a very good Chelsea side.”

Hod Rod saves Fulham

By John Kelly

FULHAM BOSS Marco Silva said Rodrigo Muniz “always gives 100 per cent” after the striker scored a last-gasp leveller in the 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

The Brazilian fired home from close range in the 96th minute after Harry Wilson's corner.

Matt O'Riley had given the Seagulls a 55th-minute lead from the penalty spot after Georginio Rutter was fouled by Sander Berge. Muniz has been linked with a multi-million pound move away

from the Cottagers this summer.

“His connection with the fans is strong, not just because he scored today. Rodrigo created something that isn't so easy to do. The fans recognise his quality, and that he gives everything for the shirt,” Silva said.

“With Rodrigo, it doesn't matter against who and it doesn't matter if he scores or not. He always gives 100 per cent. It was nice to see him score and the connection.

The fans showed support for the whole team.”

EXCLUSIVE

By Will Scott

ZAK STURGE revealed he joined Millwall permanently this summer because he “loved” his experience during his four-month loan spell last season.

The 21-year-old left-back joined the Lions on loan from Chelsea on the final day of the January transfer window, and went on to make five appearances in all competitions - starting the final three games of the season after Joe Bryan suffered a groin injury.

Millwall moved quickly this summer to bring Sturge back permanently, making his transfer official on July 14 after nearly a month of negotiations with the Blues.

Sturge was pleased to be back at the club.

“Being at Millwall previously from January to the end of the season, being around the players, being around the changing room and the training ground, and I just loved it,” Sturge told this paper. “I thought that this is definitely a place that I could be.

“The manager, I had talks with him, and he said that I was in his plans. It looked like a good project and something I wanted to be a part of.”

The left-back spent time at Cre8tive Football Academy and Brighton’s Academy before signing for Chelsea in 2022.

He was loaned to League One side Peterborough for the 2023-24 season, making eleven appearances in all competitions before rejoining Chelsea halfway through the campaign.

Sturge continued to feature for the Blues’ under-21s side in Premier League 2 over the next year, before the Lions made their move in late January 2025.

‘I JUST LOVED IT’ Zak Sturge on why he joined Millwall permanently

“It was pretty late on in the January window,” Sturge said. “My agent just said Millwall are interested in you, what are your thoughts on it?

“After having a few conversations with the sporting director [Steve Gallen], I thought that was something I wanted to do. Then the deal got done, literally, on deadline day.

“It was a very last-minute thing. But we got over the line, and I was really delighted to be here, couldn't wait to get started.”

SSturge had played just 34 minutes of Championship football before he was named to the starting line-up for Millwall’s home fixture against Norwich City on April 21, but he impressed and retained his place in the team for the next two matches.

“It was really good, actually,” Sturge said.

“I enjoyed every minute of it. It was kind of unexpected, I guess, because Joe got injured and all of a sudden I had to step up and be ready. Fortunately, I did well, and I

was just really grateful for the opportunity.

“I don't think anything can really prepare you for it. Playing under-21s is very different. Then coming into the men's game, physically, you've got to be a lot stronger, mentally you've got to be aware and a few steps ahead. It was a challenge, but it was one that I was ready to take on.” Sturge pointed to Bryan as a player who helped him with that transition.

“It's been really good, actually,” Sturge

said. “He's very helpful. He gives me advice, and we have a lot of conversations about football, and not about football. He's been really good to me. Been enjoying being around him.”

Sturge has already made two appearances this season, starting in the EFL Cup and coming on as a substitute against Middlesbrough to replace the injured Alfie Doughty.

With Doughty and Bryan out, Sturge is set

’We showed as can compete’ - Jones lauds

By John Kelly

NATHAN JONES was thrilled with Charlton Athletic’s performance as they held last season’s play-off semi-finalists Bristol City to a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. The hosts had the chance to go ahead when Anis Mehmeti hit the woodwork in the second half.

Robins goalkeeper Radek Vítek denied Rob Apter, pushed the ball on to the post to prevent George Tanner scoring an own goal and then smothered Harvey Knibbs’ effort as

the sides settled for a draw.

“I was really happy with the performance,” Jones said.

“To come away with a point from a side that won 4-1 last week away at Sheffield United, it shows we’re in a decent place.

“I thought we were truly outstanding defensively. It’s the second game we’ve kept a clean sheet - I would have liked us to have been a bit more fluid but, overall, I thought we were excellent.

“The first half was pretty even and I thought we had to defend really well.

“They’ve got some real talent, but I thought we handled everything they

had to throw at us.

“But in the second half, we came into it and I thought we were the better side. I thought we were going to go on to win it, but for a little bit of quality and know-how and that’s probably the only thing we lacked today.”

“We showed that we can compete at a Championship level and that’s the first obstacle that we have to overcome. We have to rubber-stamp that foothold in the Championship and then we can start to evolve into a more fluid and aggressive football team.”

Jones added: “The fans were truly outstanding. They packed the away

to get a consistent run of games, one of his goals this season.

“It's my first proper season playing men's football, I'd say, and I just want to get a good run of games, get used to the environment of the Championship and see how many games I can play for myself,” Sturge said. “Coming off the back of last season, we just narrowly missed the play-offs. So I'd say definitely that the boys are going to be in it for the promotion race.”

end and we gave them something to get behind. I just have a tinge of disappointment that we couldn’t have nicked it so we could have sent them home delirious rather than just content.”

Meanwhile, centre-back Alex Mitchell has joined League One side Plymouth Argyle on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old defender made 34 appearances for the Addicks last season to help the club sealed promotion to the Championship.

Jones explained the move. He said: “Alex was an integral part of our team

that got promoted. Last summer we needed to improve our defence and he helped us do that and has been important for us culturally and in terms of professionalism.

“He’s at an age where he needs gametime and given the form of others and our new signings, the loan move to a good club like Plymouth was a good opportunity and we weren’t going to stand in his way.

“He’s been part of two very strong defences in the last two seasons, with us and before that with Lincoln City - and he’ll be an excellent signing for Plymouth.”

AND COX EASE CHAMPS TO WIN

Alfie Doughty not back 'anytime soon'

EXCLUSIVE

By Will Scott

ALEX NEIL does not expect Alfie Doughty to be back "anytime soon", after the left-sided player suffered a hamstring injury in Millwall's 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough on the weekend.

The 25-year-old was withdrawn in the 57th minute after he went down clutching his leg. He was replaced by Zak Sturge, who signed for the Lions permanently this summer after a four-month loan stint last season.

Doughty joined Millwall, the club he grew up supporting, this transfer window from Luton Town. He helped the Hatters secure promotion to the Premier League in the 2022-23 season, and recorded eight assists in his sole campaign in the top flight.

He started at left-back in the Lions' first game of the season away at Norwich City, and created Macaulay Langstaff's late winner with a ball in behind the Canaries' defence.

At Carrow Road, he led Millwall in progressive passes (six), shotcreating actions (six) and completed three dribbles and four successful crosses.

Neil is unsure when Doughty will be available again.

"At the moment, I don't know what the definitive time scale is," Neil told this paper. "But it doesn't feel as if it's going to be anytime soon."

SPUR-EZE

Palace star man set for move to North London

By John Kelly

CRYSTAL PALACE star

Eberechi Eze was close to a £60million move to Tottenham Hotspur after the clubs reached a verbal agreement on Tuesday.

Spurs ramped up their interest in Eze, 27, after James Maddison suffered a crucial ligament injury that is set to keep him out for most of the season.

Eze, who scored the only goal to clinch Palace’s first-ever major trophy in the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May, has long been linked with a move to Tottenham.

Earlier this summer, however, Arsenal were reportedly chasing his signature.

But it was Spurs who were set to win the race for the England international, with the Eagles losing a second star attacker

in two summer windows after Michael Olise’s £60million move to Bayern Munich last year.

Eze played for Palace in their season opener against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend when he had a free-kick goal ruled out.

Palace have been linked with a move for 21-year-old Morocco international midfielder Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City.

Sturge will likely be in line to replace Doughty at left-back against Sheffield United this weekend, with Joe Bryan missing since the Lions’ pre-season friendly against Crystal Palace on July 12.

The ex-Chelsea defender has made six league appearances for the Lions so far, three of which were starts.
