Editorial
These housing figures don’t stack up!
W
HENEVER THE News covers a story on the borough’s housing crisis it is always a struggle to present the sea of differing figures in black and white.
The mud-slinging in the paper this week over the number of council homes built in the borough since 2010 shows how two parties – namely the Southwark Liberal Democrats and the Labourrun council - can look at the same question and come up with two different answers. On one side is ‘the bottom line’ – after the big talk about 11,000 new council homes, what have we actually built since 2010? Figures from the council’s own officers show 40 new council homes built from scratch and 25 ‘hidden homes’ converted from disused property on council estates like garages and store rooms. Meanwhile in the same period 900 council homes were sold and 700 were demolished. So the cold, hard facts look pretty “dismal”, according to Southwark Liberal Democrat leader, Anood Al-Samerai (although her own party’s record for house building when in office was nothing to shout about). Southwark Labour’s response to the News sheds light on a much more complicated picture which is difficult to express in numbers. Local authorities are dealing with Tory government cuts to new homes funding, caps on borrowing which stop them building their own new homes and an incentivised Right to Buy scheme which forces the council to sell its stock to tenants at an alarming rate of six properties every week! In the midst of all this, Councillor Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, says since 2010 3,760 new ‘affordable homes’ have been built in the borough. The term ‘affordable’ is often confused with social or target rent (perhaps intentionally sometimes) so here is the basic difference – social rent is normally set at around 30-40 percent of market rents levels but is also linked to earnings, making it more stable than properties simply linked to the ever-ballooning rental market. ‘Affordable’ units are set at anything up to 80 percent of market rents – which mean they can be completely unaffordable in London’s overheated housing bubble. Cllr Williams says that 49 percent of these 3,760 new affordable homes in Southwark have been set at genuine social rent levels by their Housing Association owners. This is good news, no doubt about that – these properties will actually be what they say on the tin – affordable. As they are not council owned, however, there is no obligation for HAs to keep the rent levels low (although on developments the council is directly involved in like the Aylesbury, social rents are secured for 250 years). Credit where credit is due – the borough is committed to building 11,000 new homes and Cllr Williams says the interim target of 1,500 by 2018 is well underway, with tenants ready to move into the first lot this month. Southwark has also established its own housing company so it can escape the borrowing cap (and possibly their Right to Buy obligation) to bankroll their own new homes, rather than ‘dancing with the devil’ – negotiating the best deals they can with corporate developers. One thing Southwark Labour and the Lib Dems can agree on is there are not enough council homes and we desperately need more. It’s a London-wide crisis and there are no shortterm quick fixes.

PECKHAM
A S LI P PE R Y C HA RAC T ER By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
BOBBIES ON the Peckham beat encountered a slippery suspect on Thursday morning when they found an abandoned pet snake.
PCs Brown, Sharpe and Mallet were patrolling down Goldsmith Road when a member of the public approached them and asked for their help
with a case that didn’t adder-up. The concerned citizen had found a metre-anda-half-long corn snake loose on the street and had managed to get it into a carrier bag. The officers knocked on a few doors to see if they could find the owner before taking the lost reptile, who they named Sid, to the RSPCA in Camberwell, where staff confirmed it was nonvenomous and likely to have been kept as an household pet.

The charity is now seeking Sid’s owners so they can get him back home and says he is typical of a rise in escaped ‘snakes on the lane’ they see in the hot summer months when they are naturally more active. Corn snakes are not native to this country so Sid is likely to have been an abandoned exotic pet. “Sadly the RSPCA is experiencing widespread neglect and abandonment of reptiles as for many people an exotic animal represents
too much of a commitment. We would encourage people who are thinking about taking on an exotic pet to research the needs of the particular species thoroughly and ensure they can meet them at all times,” said a spokesperson for the animal charity. Anyone with any information about Sid and who he might belong to is urged to call the RSPCA inspector appeal line in confidence on 0300 123 8018.

£20,000 REWARD
Southwark News, Thursday August 20, 2015
TO CATCH THE ATTACKER OF PREGNANT MALORIE BANTALA By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
POLICE ARE offering a £20,000 reward to catch a violent thug who brutally assaulted a heavily pregnant woman, resulting in the loss of her baby.
Malorie Bantala was walking home when she was set upon by two men in motorbike helmets in Talfourd Place, Peckham, on Monday June 15 at around 8pm. The university graduate was 32 weeks pregnant when the two men pushed her to the ground and continually kicked and stamped on her stomach before they ran off in the direction of Denman Road – still wearing their crash helmets. A neighbour called an
ambulance but after waiting over an hour, the police cancelled the call and took Malorie to hospital in the back of a squad car. Despite the best efforts of the hospital team, she tragically lost her baby and was in intensive care for days. One man has already been charged and awaits trial but the substantial sum is now being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of a second suspect, described as being in his twenties. Detective Inspector David Suddick, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: “Although one man has been charged, we have yet to identify the second person involved in this horrific attack. “The victim has recovered physically from her ordeal but

‘Just 65 council homes built in five years’ By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
SOUTHWARK COUNCIL has been slammed for building just 65 new council homes in the last five years.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS SMASH
A BUS flattened a traffic light pole in a bizarre accident in Surrey Quays last Thursday. The 381 bus, which was travelling from Peckham to Waterloo via Rotherhithe, suffered a damaged front window in the incident at around 3pm.
Luckily no one was injured in the collision, which occurred at the junction of Surrey Quays Road and Canada Street. The London Fire Brigade and Met Police attended the scene but were not needed. The road was temporarily closed but opened after half an hour.
appealing for this item to be handed in. The community where Malorie Bantala lives on the Pelican Estate were ‘devastated’ by the vile attack and decided to create a ‘peace wall’ in support of the family last month. Joan Morris, chair of the Pelican Estate Tenants’ and Residents’ Association, is in the process of coordinating young people from the area to paint a mural of a dove on the wall of Crane House as a symbol of peace, looking out over the scene of the attack in Talfourd Road. Anyone who has any information which may help trace the second suspect should call the incident room on 020 8345 3985 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Since 2010 more than 1,500 council homes have been sold or demolished while a “dismal” number have been built, including 40 brand new properties and 25 ‘hidden homes’ –created in disused pockets of council estates. An additional 153 properties have been bought back from leaseholders over the same period but the Southwark Liberal Democrats have criticised the council for its “slow progress” in meeting its own target of building 11,000 new council homes over the next 30 years. Southwark Liberal Democrat Housing Spokesperson, Councillor Ben Johnson, said: “We have a housing crisis in Southwark and these dismal figures show just how far behind the Labour council is in building new homes for local residents….it seems that Labour have made all these promises to residents without thinking through how or where all these new homes will go. It’s not fair to raise expectations like this when it could be up to 30 years before these new homes materialise.” Cllr Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, said these recent figures do not show the 3,760 new ‘affordable homes’ the council
Since 2010 more than 1 ,500 council homes have been sold or demolished
has built since 2010. These are normally charged at up to 80 percent of market rents but Cllr Williams said almost half of the total were set at social rent levels. “We are doing all we can to tackle the housing crisis head-on,” said Cllr Williams, who added 1,500 of the 11,000 council homes pledged would be finished by 2018 with residents moving into the first properties this month. “The coalition government that the Liberal Democrats propped up slashed the social house building grant, pushed through higher affordable rents and increased the discount for Right to Buy, which is costing the council on average six properties every week. “For the past five years the Lib Dems were more worried with keeping their Conservative bosses happy than standing up for the people of Southwark, which is one of the reasons they were so roundly rejected at the ballot box,” he said.

FIRE FIGHTERS BATTLE RHINO WASTE BLAZE By Joey Millar

DOZENS OF firefighters battled a blaze at a recycling plant in Ilderton Road on Friday morning.
Shocked passers-by took photos of thick smoke and flames pouring from the windows of Rhino Waste Services Limited. Terry Gooding of the London Fire Brigade said: “When crews arrived there was lots of thick black smoke and flames
punching out of the window. Crews who were wearing breathing apparatus worked hard to quickly extinguish the fire.” Thirty-five firefighters from Peckham, Dockhead, Old Kent Road, New Cross, Deptford and Greenwich fire stations attended the incident at around 9am. The fire was brought under control roughly an hour later. No-one was injured in the blaze, which damaged part of the building’s mezzanine floor. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Homeless man shot in his car should stay with friends, says council leader
Mysterious shooting
CAMBERWELL: Gunfire was heard on Monday night, but by the time the police had arrived in Harris Street, the suspects had fled the scene.
A witness dialled 999 just after 10.30pm after they heard a shot fired. A suspect was then seen driving off in a black hatchback towards Benhill Road, Camberwell. Firearms officers searched the scene and the surrounding area but there was no trace of the suspect or any weapon or empty shells. The London Ambulance Service was called but there were no injuries and no one was taken to hospital. No arrests have been made but enquiries continue.
THE HOMELESS man shot while sheltering under a bridge in Bermondsey last month is receiving support from Southwark Council – although he will not be bumped up the housing waiting list.

Despite the shocking incident, which has left him “completely, totally paranoid” every night on the street since, he is not seen as being as vulnerable as some of the other people on the 12,500strong council housing list. This is due to the fact that he has turned down offers of accommodation by friends and family members because he hates “being a burden, being in the way.” He is also seen as being voluntarily homeless after breaking up with his partner and moving out of her home.

Moreover the 12,500 people on our housing waiting list would find it difficult to understand why we gave preference over them to someone to whom we did not owe a duty.” He added that the council had met with the victim on several occasions and offered “detailed housing advice, assistance and support.” He urged him to make the most of offers of accommodation from friends and family, even if only for a short time, until the council could help him back on his feet. Anyone with information regarding the shooting, which saw two men with their faces covered lean through the man’s car window and shoot him twice in the leg, is urged to call police on 101.

Social housing officer banged up for fraud By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
A PECKHAM woman has been banged up for two and a half years after getting two council flats and scamming £66,000 in benefits.
Bolarinwa Odulate bought her Southwark Council property through the Right to Buy scheme in 2004. She then rented it out as she put her own name down for a second council flat in Richmond. Using her expertise as a ‘social housing officer’, the 38-year-old was able to get a property in the west London borough in 2009 and went on to swindle benefits intended for vulnerable people. Odulate pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud in July and was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court on Friday.

THE NEW owner of a pub which has been run by the same couple of more than 30 years, has said they want to keep the ‘heart and soul’ of the ol’ boozer while bringing it up to date.

SAVE ‘THE GLAD’
BOROUGH
A “MUCH loved and thriving local pub” in Borough is in danger of being demolished and replaced with a ten-storey block of flats. Developers want to knock down the historic Gladstone Arms in Lant Street and have submitted a planning application to Southwark Council for a residential tower. The storied boozer dates back 130 years and has been well-known for years as a respected music venue. Unlike most of the threatened pubs across the borough, ‘the Glad’ is still in business, with live performances every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Cllr Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes said: “The Glad is a much loved and thriving local pub that is key to the historic character of the local area, with great beer, food and live music. Local people value this pub, as is clear from the 150 comments already received by the council on this planning application. “We want to protect pubs like The Glad for community use, and residents can have their say on these proposals on the council’s planning portal as part of the public consultation.”

A NEW secondary school is looking for a temporary home due to delays acquiring their chosen site from the NHS.
The Charter East Dulwich is due to open next September, but with parents ready to make their school choices in January, its initial location is still to be confirmed. The secondary school was given the green light by the government in March, with the Dulwich Hospital site named as its proposed home. But until plans for a new health centre on the same land are finalised, Charter will not know which parts of the site belong to them, in order to clear a space for a temporary school while a permanent building is constructed. Dulwich councillor James Barber, who has been involved in the campaign for a new secondary school from the beginning, described the process of the NHS handing over the disused land as “torturous.” “The biggest concern is NHS Property Services have taken 23 years to get to this point. When there’s a

it would be this torturous” Cllr Barber, who has been involved in the campaign for a new secondary on the site of Dulwich Hospital
firm planning application in, parents will then see that they mean it. I can see the end game for a new Dulwich health facility and a new school and it’ll be fantastic to have both in place, but I never imagined it would be this torturous.” A spokesperson for NHS Property Services told the News a legal exchange of the land was expected within the next two months “The sale of the land was always anticipated to take a phased approach to allow for the relocation of existing clinical services and for the provision of a new health centre. The sale of the site has been protracted as
arrangements for the new health centre were finalised, the parties also had to deal with a number of legal issues and these issues are now close to being resolved,” said an NHS spokesperson. Some of the land will be handed over to the school as soon as the contract is signed, but the rest could take as long as 2020. The first buildings of the permanent school will be ready by September 2018 but in the meantime Charter is undertaking ‘feasibility studies’ with the NHS to see if there is a way of accommodating the temporary school on the hospital site. It is unclear if the school has identified any other alternative sites. A public consultation which took place in June also sparked a disagreement between groups of parents concerned about the school’s catchment area - with groups from East Dulwich and South Camberwell fighting it out. Charter decided, after looking at the results of the consultation, to make the central point of the catchment area on Jarvis Road, favouring South Camberwell.

BERMONDSEY GIN aficionados are raising a glass after a Druid Street distillery teamed up with the Shard’s swish LANG bar.
Jensen’s Gin founder Christian Jensen said he was delighted to be a part of the Summer Gin Terrace, which will boast cocktails and snacks infused with his own Bermondsey Dry Gin and Old Tom Gin. He said: “Jensen’s Gin came about after I tried to replicate the gin I had come across while I was in Tokyo. I used a distillery to perfect the flavour but could only order a huge amount of cases. I decided to sell them locally and it grew from there.”

LEWISHAM SOUTHWARK College is back on the right track after receiving a much-improved Ofsted report following a damning inspection last spring.
The special monitoring visit took place on July 16, five months after the college received a second consecutive ‘inadequate’ rating at the end of March. Things were much more positive this time round, however, with the report noting that staff were “well placed to bring about improvement” and that a “sensible and streamlined organisational structure is in place”. It added: “The new leaders and senior managers have brought a new energy to the College. They are already establishing a different culture in which staff, while being much more responsible and accountable for success in their areas of work, are also allowed the freedom to make changes they deem necessary and given the support to achieve change”. Principal Carole Kitching (pictured), who took over earlier this year, said she was “delighted” with the results of the latest inspection and pledged to continue the college’s improvement.
She said: “I am delighted that Ofsted have recognised that the hard work of our staff is resulting in improvements across the board for all our students. I am determined that the pace of improvement will accelerate in the weeks to come with our all new permanent senior team now in place from some of the best Colleges in the country.”

‘PEERAGE PROTESTER’ CASE THROWN OUT OR COURT CAMBERWELL
Record crowds flock to festival
News Page 14-15
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
A CLAIM an environmental campaigner assaulted a guard has been thrown out by a judge, who called the case a “waste of court time.”
Camberwell resident Donnachadh McCarthy had just started his testimony at Westminster Magistrate’s Court on Friday, when deputy district judge Claire Evans interrupted him to throw the case out. The former deputy chairman of the Liberal Democrats stood charged with assaulting security guard Michael Swain, who had been on duty outside the House of Lords when Donnachadh was peacefully protesting against ‘cash for peerages’. The 56-year-old was holding a placard which read, ‘Arrest Nick Clegg for selling stolen peerages’ when he himself was arrested for ‘shoving’ Mr Swain while he tried to caution another protester on December 20 last year. As Judge Evans declared she was going to “stop this case right here,” she said: “I am entirely satisfied with the explanation that this was an accident – it’s even consistent with Mr Swain’s evidence – and I’m not prepared to waste any more court time,” before
finding the defendant not guilty. Donnachadh, of Coleman Road, who had always claimed he bumped into Mr Swain by accident, told the News he was “really relieved” to be cleared by the judge. “It was eight months of stress, but I’m very relieved to have it all over,” he said, “but the political battle continues. I’m pleased if this case has raised the issue of the sale of peerages.” In October last year, Donnachadh - an who writes a monthly environmental column for the News, was arrested while taking part in a peaceful ‘occupy’ demonstration in Parliament Square for being in ‘possession of a tarpaulin’. London Assembly Member and former Camberwell councillor, Jenny Jones, was also arrested for trying to intervene. A video documenting the arrests shows four officers carrying Donnachadh to a police van in handcuffs surrounded by a protective shield of ten other officers, in a reaction he described at the time as “completely over the top.” After three months he was charged with four counts relating to holding the piece of plastic in his arms, but all charges were later dropped. Donnachadh, who says he now understands what it feels like to be treated like a criminal, has vowed to carry on opposing the practice of party donors being put forward for peerages.
PLANS TO build a park on a section of disused railway line running over Peckham will only be kept on track by a show of public support, according to the campaign group who got the idea off the ground.

station, a track which currently runs parallel to the ‘live’ line, and the 900m promenade would then gradually slope down to ground level to join Kirkwood Nature Reserve and come out behind Queen’s Road station. The park would also link up with existing ‘green ways’ running between Canada Water and Queens Road and at the other end, Holly Grove and Ruskin Park, linking up swathes of south east London. A core team of ten people are now involved in helping to bring the park
plans to life, including professional fundraisers and transport specialists. With landowners Network Rail on board in principle, Nick and the team are now crowd funding to pay for a feasibility study. This weekend, the campaign hit the £10,000 mark but if the project is to receive a chunk of the London Mayor’s money, they need to raise another £10,00 towards their target of £66,000 by the end of August., “It’s not just about the money,” said Nick who lives in Grove Lane, Camberwell. “It’s really vitally important to show that there’s public support behind it. If people think it’s a good idea, let other people know as
well, because you don’t know who might be able to help. As important as the donations it’s about spreading the word,” he said. The feedback Nick has received from the Peckham community has so far been “really, really positive” he thinks largely because people can tell
‘Don’t get heavy, he’s my brother’ By Joey Millar

WALWORTH-BASED housing activist and meteorologist Piers Corbyn has dismissed claims in the national press that he is a danger to his brother Jeremy’s Labour leadership bid. In recent weeks he has been described by various newspapers as “the wacky weatherman”, “mad professor”, “conspiracy theorist” and “maverick”, with some claiming that he outright opposed his brother’s campaign. Writing on his long-range forecasting website WeatherAction.com, however, Piers has rejected these accusations as “nonsense” and issued a concrete endorsement for his little brother. He said: “These journalists would do well to remember that neither I, from whom they seek comments, nor Tony Blair and his associates, who seek to comment, are candidates in this Labour leadership election. Jeremy Corbyn is the candidate and I back him 100%. “We don't normally involve much politics on the WeatherAction site but in the current circumstances I urge every UK voter to back
my brother Jeremy Corbyn in his Labour leadership bid.” He described recent articles attempting to stir up controversy between the two brothers as “ridiculous and misleading beyond belief” and accused reporters of “recycling nonsense.” He took particular offence at a mocking article by a national paper, which posed the question: “Will climate-change denier Piers scupper brother Jeremy Corbyn's leadership bid?” He said: “It is bizarre that the [paper], who have frequently reported and praised our WeatherAction.com forecasts, should decide to quote one in 2008 which went wrong (and note we warn a % will go wrong) when we are better than all others and as if that was a reason for not backing Jeremy!” He acknowledged that he and his brother differed on opinion on some policies, but praised him for his willingness to take part in open discussion. He said: “The important thing about Jeremy is that he stands for proper debate and accountability in politics. This can only be good for any issue, climate being just one, where scientific evidence is required.”

The News reported on the story last year
it’s “something quite genuine.” “We’re just a group of residents who have got together and pooled their skills to change their neighbourhood,” said Nick. For more information on the proposed Coal Line or to donate, visit www.spacehive.com/peckhamcoalline

A RECORD number of people went along to enjoy the Elephant and Nun Festival on Saturday.
More than 12,000 people flocked to Burgess Park in the blazing sunshine to take in the sights and sounds of Latin American acts like Nirk Molina and the UK Vallenato Kings and Brazilian and Afro-Latin beats from the likes of The Fontanas, the Hearts of Steel (steel pan ensemble) and RnB singer Lizzie Emeh. Southwark-based dance company, The Movement Factory, a live stage showcasing a range of diverse talents in dance, singing, spoken word, and rapping and the Africa Live Festival served up bespoke African influenced arts and crafts, fashion, live music and food. Carnival group, Kinetika Bloco, also led an annual parade around the park. Cllr Ian Wingfield, deputy leader of Southwark Council, said: “This year’s Elephant and the Nun festival was fantastic. “It was wonderful to see so many people from across the community out having fun together and enjoying the incredible entertainment on the day, especially as the weather improved. A huge thank you to everyone involved our events team, the volunteers, and all the performers, traders and community groups there that made it such a special day.”

Hollies kids’ final get together
By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
A final reunion for ex-residents of the Hollies Children Home, which cared for hundreds of Southwark kids between 1902 and 1998, will take place next month.
Due to cost issues, the September 12 get-together at the old home in Sidcup will be the last – although organiser Paul Krawczynski believes it will still be a great chance to catch up with old pals. The 65-year-old, who lived in Elephant and Castle before moving into the home at the age of three, told the News: “The Hollies is still, to this day, my spiritual home. I left when I was fifteen, but there is just a pull to the place that still holds firm all these years later. “My other houses have meant nothing to me. The Hollies just has this draw – that’s why people come over from Australia for the reunions and why I get phone calls from all over the world as part of my efforts to help reunite people.” Paul helped found the group Hollies Kids in 2002 and has organised annual reunions ever since for old residents of the home, which was also known as Lamorbey Residential School until 1950. It housed at least 300 kids at any one time, with a huge majority hailing from Southwark. Paul, who used to join other children in going on “runaway trips” up to Southwark, had friends from across the borough – although they seemed in no uncertainty over where they really belonged. He said: “I came from Elephant and Castle, and eventually moved back there when I was 15 to temporarily stay with my father. I hated it. It was so big and tight and busy, there were no open spaces like
at the home in Sidcup. “I loved what we had there. Wide open spaces, adventure courses, swimming lessons. I used to run away from my house to go back to the home – normally it’s the other way around!” Joan Taylor, who lived in Bermondsey before moving into the home at the age of eleven in 1969, shares Paul’s fond memories of her home-from-home. She said: “It was like moving to the country – a bit of a shock but so lovely. I didn’t miss Bermondsey at all, I was just glad to get away from the stress of it. Oh God yeah, I have so many positive memories of Hollies.” Paul acknowledged that not all children had happy memories at the home. He said: “Especially since the Jimmy Saville revelations came out it’s clear that some people had bad experiences. There were other examples too. Children who wet the bed were forced to carry their dirty sheets across the yard to the laundry, and other kids were actually encouraged to shout ‘Wet the bed! Wet the bed!’ “But these reunions enable people to bury their ghosts. There is still some stigma about having spent time in a care home, but there’s also a tremendous support network and community spirit.” The Hollies Kids group has helped reunite old family members and young romantics who were split up after leaving the home. The memories are still clear for a huge number of old residents, especially Paul who now lives across the country in Norfolk – in a house he and his wife have named ‘The Hollies.’ The last ever Hollies reunion will take place on Saturday, September 12 at the old home in Sidcup from 10am until 5pm.

higher than the national average of 98.1 percent. Many schools reported that all of their university candidates had secured either their first or second choice places. Cllr Victoria Mills, Southwark’s cabinet
member for children and schools said: “Congratulations to all this year’s A Level students on their fantastic results. It is great to see their hard work has paid off and I wish them the best of luck in whatever they choose to do next.” “We have been working hard with schools to ensure young people have the best support possible to achieve their potential. Today should
be a stepping stone for our young people to go on to university, an apprenticeship or a great job. For those unsure of their next step or finding it difficult in a tough economic climate, our youth guarantee means that from this year all school leavers should be able to secure a job, work experience or a place for further study.” To find out more about the youth guarantee visit www.southwark.gov.uk/youthguarantee

Eighty per cent make the grade at Camberwell school
ONE MOTHER got twice the good news last week when her twin sons both got top A-level results, securing them internships in the City and places at University.
Raphael and Fabrio Marinello were both surprised by the four A*s, an A and two Bs they got between them when they went to collect their results from Sacred Heart Sixth Form on Thursday morning. With a gap year internship set up at Schroders asset management firm before he starts his Politics and Economics degree, Raphael is well on his way to a high-flying career and confesses he even has his eye on the top job. “Everyone wants to be prime minister,” he said, adding that top of the agenda if he were in charge would be making sure kids from disadvantaged backgrounds had the same opportunity as those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Twin brother Fabrio said it was “a weight off my shoulders” to get his results and know his gap year placement at Accenture (international management consultancy firm) was secure, before he goes on to also study Politics and

With both boys on the path to success, Raphael said their mum was “very happy and really proud.” Brayan Bernal-Gil, 19, took the difficult decision to come back to school after trying to make it as a footballer. A year behind everyone else, he knew he would have to work twice has hard to catch up. His hard work paid off last week when he got an A*, two As and a B securing a place at
Birmingham University to study International Business. “I just wanted to pick a degree that would open doors for me,” he said. “I’m the first person in my family to go to University so they’re really proud of me.” Headteacher, Serge Cefai said the overall results for the school were “looking great” with 80 percent of students achieving grades C or above. “I’m really pleased some of our kids have got fantastic offers at top universities,” he said, keen that people see beyond the fact that many of Sacred Heart’s students come from povertystricken pockets of Camberwell and Peckham. “I want everyone to understand that our kids can do it,” he said. To his students he said: “Well done and don’t let anyone tell you that A-levels are easier than they used to be!” Head of Year thirteen, Mrs Sparkes, said: “I am so proud of the students with 60 percent of them achieving their first choice university. I look forward to seeing how they get on with their future endeavours.”
WHEN HER father died unexpectedly of a heart attack in March, Cheriesse Bema-Kwakye’s studies were the last thing on her mind.
With the support of her teachers at Sacred Heart, though, she has managed to achieve two As and a B in the first year of her A-levels and says “ the only way is up” as she prepares to get the grades to go to a top university next year. “I don’t know what would have happened to me if I didn’t go to this school,” said the 18-year-old, who is passionate about her Geography studies. “I just love Geography. I now I sound like a geek but to think that is what I could do for a job is amazing,” she said. “The teachers here - it goes beyond work for them – they give everything to their students,” she added. Cheriesse’s mother suffered a stroke last year so when her father passed away in March she said she just “shut off.” “I was numb. I went into school the next day. It was a huge struggle but the teachers let the mourning run its course,” she said. When she saw her results on Thursday morning and saw all her hard work had paid off, she started crying, and so did her teacher, then she called her mum and she started crying. “It was absolutely phenomenal. I’ve worked so hard this year but it’s really paid off. “Nobody in my family has gone to university before. I’m going got change the game for my family so my mum’s really proud. I’m on top of the world!” If Cheriesse can get an A* and two As next year she is hoping to study Human Geography at a Russell group University.

A BRIGHT spark student who only learnt to speak English at nine-years-old, has just achieved an A and two Bs at A-level.
Somalian-born Isa Mohammed is going to fulfil his dream of studying medicine after he got an A in Maths and two Bs in Biology and Chemistry last week. “From day one I have always dreamed of studying medicine and I couldn’t be happier that now I get to do that,” he said. Isa is being joined at Southhampton Univesity by his fellow Walworth Academy pupil, Sanmi Makanjuola, who achieved two As in Maths and Biology and a B in Chemistry. “It just goes to show that hard work pays off - mine did,” he said. Walworth Academy Principal, Yvonne Powell, was delighted to see the number of students at the Ark chain school achieving at least three A* to B grades had doubled since last year. “These results are a huge testament to the hard work and high expectations of all of our students and teachers,” she said. “Our results have been improving year on year and we’re more determined than ever to enable our students to continue on to some of the best universities in the country.” Delighted ...

Five students received all A* or A grades, while 50% of total results were at least Bs – the fourth year in a row that the school recorded this milestone. Samantha Hunter, who received two A*s and two As, will now study physics at Imperial College London. She said: “I wasn’t feeling too nervous

We have girls going to the best universities and into some excellent opportunities in the world of work. “I am proud that, in a relatively small 6th Form, girls have succeeded in an impressive range of academic subjects from Further Maths to Drama and from Modern Languages to Psychology.

JAG girls have big brains but even bigger hearts A STAR student has proven she has a first class brain as well as a heart of gold after she achieved four A*s at A-level last week after winning a community award for supporting local foodbanks. Thanks to her outstanding academic record, James Allen’s Girls’ School pupil, Alice Guillaume, is now going on to study Geography at Cambridge. Earlier this year the former Goodrich Primary pupil galvanised the whole school into collecting over a tonne of food in just four weeks for local foodbanks, for which she was awarded the Southwark Food Bank Outstanding Contribution Award.
Alice is not the only shining star at JAGs as a total of eleven girls succeeded in getting three A*s and 77 percent of students achieved grades A* to B. The news of the results especially delighted head teacher, Marion Gibbs, CBE, who is retiring at the end of the month after 21 years in post. “The girls and their teachers once again deserve huge congratulations,” she said. “Our Sixth Form girls have not only enjoyed their studies and worked hard for their examinations, but they have also given a huge amount through their service to the wider community. We are very proud of them.”

Head now plans turning her marking pen to writing novels
YEARS AFTER she could have taken retirement, a head teacher who has worked 90 hours a week for the last 21 years is finally “ready to relax.”
Head teacher at James Allen’s Girls’ School for a generation, Marion Gibbs has been in teaching for more than 40 years and is now “ready to have a wonderful retirement.” Speaking to the News, Marion said her proudest achievements at JAGs have been those which have connected the school and its students with the wider community. In 2012 she received a CBE for
establishing the Southwark Schools Learning Partnership between ten schools across the borough, to help teachers and pupils support one another. Since 2005 Marion has been championing a new music centre at the school, which she says is “going to make a real difference to the local community.” Marion did not want to leave until the new facility was confirmed, but now that it is she is retiring at the end of the month to make way for her successor, Mrs Sally-Anne Huang. Speaking to the News, Marion said
she would “miss the girls and the buzz of being in a school”, but is looking forward to filling her days at her new seaside home with sailing, growing fruit and vegetables and turning her marking pen to writing novels. “It’s the best job in the world but it’s very hard to get a good work life balance,” said Marion, who says she has typically worked 90-hour weeks for the last twenty years. Sir Hugh Taylor Parent of two JAGS students and Chair of the school Governors, paid tribute to Marion, saying she had been an
“outstanding headmistress” who had encouraged high academic standards, and an ethos of ‘care, curiosity and consideration’ in all aspects of school life, “producing well-rounded citizens who care for their fellow human beings and play an active role in society.” Mr Taylor added that all the pupils who have passed through the school over the last 21 years will remember Marion “with affection and respect. Their lives – and therefore the lives of countless others - will have been shaped and inspired by her values,” he said.

Tom Ap Rees got three A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, and is excited to confirm his place to read Biology at Oxford. “I was really surprised – the exams were much harder than I was expecting them to be,” he said. Rufus Love also managed to rack up three A*s in English, History and Latin, and is ready to head up north to study English at Edinburgh. He said: “I’m very happy, but I didn’t expect it.” Minnie Cullen Close, said her A*
and two A’s made her dad cry. She is going on to study English Literature at Durham in preparation for a career in politics or the charity sector. Millie Milsom also achieved an A* and two A’s and plans to go to Nottingham to study Economics and Spanish. “My parents are happy, but they would’ve been happy with whatever I got,” she said. Head teacher, Christian Hicks, said: “Students flourish here regardless of their starting points or circumstances, and are encouraged to enjoy their learning. These outstanding A-level results are due to the responsibility and perseverance shown by all the students and teachers in this flourishing family school, and they deserve to celebrate today.”
Lucian Clinch who got three A*s, plans to take a year out then go on to study history. He said: “I’m very surprised, it felt like a lottery – you sort of come out never sure what you’ll get.” Julia Elkouby, who managed to get an A* and three A’s says she is planning to study mechanical engineering at University College London. Another star pupil, Lizzie Skinner is going to study art at Kingston after getting three A*s before possibly applying to study English at Cambridge. Head teacher, Dr Gary Savage, said: “I’m delighted to see so many Alleyn’s students being awarded the top A* and A grades and indeed am equally proud of all those students who achieved their target grades to secure their university places. It shows that pursuing wider interests and taking part in all the co-curricular activities on offer in such a busy Sixth Form helps with academic success. It all involves hours of dedicated study along with the hard work of the teaching staff.”

Save Southwark Woods campaigners’ ‘last-ditch attempt’ to see off the council’s cemetery plans
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
SOUTHWARK COUNCIL plans to create nearly 5,000 new burial spaces in naturally occurring cemetery woodlands are going to be put under the microscope next month.
At a heated council meeting last month the Labour-run council voted down a Liberal Democrat motion to start another public consultation on the proposals, after the Save Southwark Woods campaign group presented a petition of over 8,500 signatures opposing the borough’s new burial strategy. As a “last-ditch attempt” to put the brakes on the council’s proposals, the leader of the Southwark Liberal Democrats, Anood Al-Samerai, wrote to the council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee to request the matter be reviewed at their next meeting in September, which was agreed by the
Chair, Labour councillor, Gavin Edwards. “I am glad that the Council has agreed finally to look at the plans for Southwark Woods in more detail at its main scrutiny committee next month,” said Cllr Al-
Samerai. “With over 8,000 signatures opposing the Council’s plans for the trees, woodland and graves at Southwark Woods it is clear that this is a huge issue for our borough to get right.” Cllr Darren Merrill, Southwark’s cabinet member for Environment and Public Realm, has led on the development of the burial strategy and told the News although he would attend and provide information to the meeting, the cemetery plans were not on hold. “Council Assembly agreed last month to proceed with the council’s burial strategy…..We have been clear that this strategy needs be taken forward to prevent burial space in Southwark running out completely by 2017,” said Cllr Merrill. Nunhead-based American comedian Lewis Schaffer, who has been heavily involved in the Save Southwark Woods Campaign, said though he was pleased the strategy would be scrutinised, he no

Residents were looking for a sign and they got it WHEN THE residents of the Sceaux Gardens Estate in Camberwell asked for better signs to give direction around the estate, they got more than they bargained for.
A huge sign by artist Mark Titchner now adorns the Tenants’ and Residents’ Association Hall reading ‘Our work is today together’. The Signs Project, paid for by a Southwark Cleaner, Greaner Safer grant, has also seen the estate fitted with new maps and outdoor notice boards.

John McGrath, Chair of the Sceaux Gardens Tenants and Residents Association said; “When you look at the front of the hall it’s great. I like looking forward rather than backwards, and this work is definitely new. When people come into the hall they all say that they love Mark’s work, it has definitely become something to talk about when people come in.”

Bellway Homes cycle to build better futures for young people
O
n the 3rd of July 1987 a historic journey took place which saw two men become the first hot air balloon travellers to cross the Atlantic. 28 years to the day later, Bellway Homes employees are attempting a historic journey of their own, inspired by last year’s Tour de Yorkshire.
Enthusiastic employees will cycle on static bikes with the ultimate goal of travelling 900 miles, the distance of a journey visiting every divisional Bellway office starting in Scotland and finishing at Cardiff. Dividing the distance equally, each Bellway division will be set a target of 57 miles and the division to reach their target in the quickest time will be crowned champions and receive the Tour de Bellway trophy!
In addition to the ‘Tour de Bellway’ cycle race, Bellway employees in 16 divisions across the country will be raising further funds by dressing in the clothes they wore in their youth, guessing their team members from baby photos and enjoying the baking talents of their colleagues. Bellway Homes recently announced Construction Youth Trust as one of its celebrated charities of the year. The Trust is close to the hearts of Bellway employees, many of whom themselves began their careers through training and apprenticeships with the company. Speaking about the partnership, Bellway CEO Ted Ayres commented: “Through fundraising and events we aim to support the work of the Trust and help to ensure that they can continue to provide training
and support for those looking to join the construction industry.” Working with young people between the ages of 14-30, Construction Youth Trust provides access to training and employment to those who lack adequate entry level training, where there is a local skills need, in deprived communities and with specific social groups. Construction Youth Trust Executive Director, Christine Townley said about the partnership: “We’re absolutely delighted to have the support of Bellway. It’s so important that our work is closely linked to construction employers. The donation from Bellway and Bellway staff will help us to help more young people develop the skills, experience and confidence they need to build their own better futures”

How much has been raised so far
Fun day fit for heroes
THE BERMONDSEY community rallied together to raise money for charity at a fundraiser last Friday, writes Kesta McLeish... The family fun day was in aid of south-London charities Homes 4 Heroes, the Freddie Farmer Foundation, Peckham Pride and Docklands JFC. The event, hosted by A&E Elkins and held at the City of London Academy in Lyndon Road, featured an Irish dancing performance by the Cullen Whelan School as well as a DJ. The fun and games was enjoyed by both young and old – even the Chelsea Pensioners got in on the act.
What your donations can buy
Two baby ventilators - £52k
These ventilators are crucial for very premature babies. Babies who are born this early are perfectly formed, but their lungs are not developed.
Infant warming system - £15k
This is an open cot that provides heat for babies that are really sick and can’t maintain their own temperature.
One intensive care cot - £19k
Last year, Evelina treated 800 babies, of which 80 per cent were from Southwark and Lambeth. The intensive care cots are in high demand, and are fully occupied day and night 80 to 100 per cent of the time. They need as many as they can get.
Evelina Hospital School - £14k
The Evelina Hospital School provides one-to-one bedside tuition for older children at the hospital, many of whom are battling life-threatening illnesses. Last year they provided 1,500 children with education, but they are currently only funded for half of the places they need.
Total needed - £100,000
SOUTHWARK NEWS and Weekender MD Chris Mullany is attempting to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and then cycle from London to Paris in 24 hours in the space of a month, as the team close in on their £100,000 target for Evelina Children's Hospital.
Since 2013, we have been fundraising to raise money for vital equipment for the hospital, which straddles the borders of Southwark and Lambeth, admitting nearly 100,000 children every year - and now we are just £10,000 off our ambitious target. As a business we have swum the English Channel, climbed the three highest peaks in the UK in 24 hours, staged a Full Monty show on the Old Kent Road, painted portraits, sung Christmas carols at Tower Bridge and swum the Hellespont between Asia and Europe. Friends, family and readers of our papers have knitted, raffled, run marathons, swum in the Channel team, school children have held fundraising days, the Leader of Southwark Council has spent a day

performing the hardest jobs of his staff, from rat catching to bin emptying. The former Mayor of Southwark has hosted a charity night at the Globe, there's been a Charlie Chaplin fun run, supermarket donations, Dulwich Hamlet charity football match, and a classic car rally in Italy. There have been fundraising days in the market square in Bermondsey, councillors doing stripteases in the snow, and a local firm, Southwark Metals, stepped in with an incredible £20,000 cheque.
Having completed a number of challenges as part of the appeal, Chris is now having a final personal push - asking for support for the climb and cycle. As ever, all of his costs are covered by himself, with 100% of the donations going directly to Evelina. Chris will fly out to Tanzania this Friday, taking eight days hopefully to trek up to the summit of the highest freestanding mountain in the world, which stands 5,895 metres (19,341ft) above sea level, sleeping in a tent and covering over 70km. To reach
the summit he will average over ten hours a day, battling altitude sickness, with a final summit day of over sixteen hours’trekking, up from tropical rainforest to a summit temperature of as low as -29 degrees C. All being well, he will then cycle with two friends from London to Paris in September, hopefully completing the 180 mile route in under 24 hours. “We’ve come so far with the appeal, and it would be fantastic to get into the final few thousands, and finally to hit!” said Chris. “I think most people are fed up with sponsoring me, so hopefully the double whammy will loosen a few purse strings. I don’t have a bike yet, so the London to Paris cycle part is worrying me even more than the Kilimanjaro part! If any readers would like to sponsor me, or just donate towards the total, you can do so at:

pledge a donation by email to me at: chris@southwarknews.co.uk and not pay up unless I complete both parts of the challenge - that will be great motivation!”

A SLIPPERY CHARACTER
P
NEIL COYLE
MP for Bermondsey & Old Southwark ARLIAMENT IS in recess which has provided a little space to catch up with some organisations in Bermondsey and Old Southwark.
It has been great to meet even more people committed to our community – and to get out and about delivering my own leaflets! The collapse of Kids Company has sadly been a major issue locally. It has directly affected the young people who the charity previously supported. Nationally it has caused consternation due to the timing and nature of Conservative Ministers directing public money to an organisation that their civil servants advised them was in significant financial trouble and not able to provide information on who it was supporting, why or how. More questions will follow to Ministers in the Cabinet Office in particular; Oliver Letwin, the Secretary of State, already confirmed to me personally that he expects a full inquiry when Parliament returns. I’ve just had confirmation from the Labour whips that my request to serve on the Welfare Reform and Work Bill committee has been accepted. This committee will examine in detail the Bill’s provisions – including Tory plans to axe £20 a week in help to thousands of disabled people receiving ESA in Southwark. If you’re affected by this or other issues in the Bill and want to let me know directly what this might mean for you or your family, please email me at Neil.Coyle.MP@parliament.uk I am glad my former time as co-chair of a consortium of over fifty charities and advice organisations working on social security issues will remain useful. I also previously ran a charity called Disability Alliance which supported about half a million carers and disabled people across the UK. Whilst working for charities, I’ve helped draft amendments to legislation on behalf of MPs, Lords and Baronesses. It is very exciting, if a little daunting, to now have the chance to use that experience to try and change some of the damaging Tory plans as MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark. With such a tiny Government majority in the Commons and with a more independent House of Lords for Iain Duncan Smith to try and navigate his controversial plans through, I hope he is in the mood for compromise. Labour members are in the process of picking our new leader. I’m hoping it is Yvette Cooper, who has the experience in office, an agenda for change – including tackling the housing crisis – and has been firmest in attacking the Tory Government. I hope members and supporters select the candidate with the best chance of ensuring Labour gets to implement our values from 2020 and not just debate them again in Opposition. If we don’t pick the candidate able to win over new support, the Conservatives could reach 15 years in Government leaving a generation knowing nothing but Tory and Lib Dem misrule.
I want questions on Aylesbury regen
I ATTENDED the last Camberwell Community Council meeting on the 15/07/2015 and asked the question "has Southwark Council done a Financial Risk Impact Assessment (FRIA) of the funding Regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate by the Notting Hill Housing Trust?
The answer I got was that officers are sure to have done such a report. So I asked under the Freedom of Information Request I could get a copy of the report, I was rest-assured that if the report existed then I could get a copy of the FRIA. This is in light of the UK government publicly stating its concerns over the housing market and the use of so-called "Dirty Money" inflating the housing Market prices - so the problem I have is that Notting Hill Housing Trust have used a financial model on inflated housing market prices so when the so-called bubble burst's in the housing market who will be left with the debts (£500million) and losses (council housing)?

Our corridor of flight noise misery
CONGRATULATIONS TO Donnachadh McCarthy on his piece (Southwark News, 6 August) on the menace of increased aircraft noise over Southwark.
All the Heathrow landings when the wind is in the west (which it usually is) now appear to be routed at low altitude over Southwark, and the
News page 3 corridor of misery has been extended to hundreds of thousands of more residents as far eastwards as Deptford. Enjoyment of peace and quiet is now impossible, both in the house and especially in the garden or on the balcony. We pray for an east wind. I put the following "public question" to the Borough, Bankside and Walworth Community Council on 15 July, and have yet to receive an answer: Would the Chair of the Community Council please advise on what steps the council is taking to bring to the attention of all relevant authorities the unacceptable level of aircraft noise over the community council area, and to promote means of mitigating this detriment to local well-being? Toby Eckersley, former Conservative Councillor
We are in a mental health crisis DESPITE MANY people doing their best to improve mental health services, for persons in crisis it continues to get worse!
Recently a 67 year old person has told me the experience of feeling suicidal! After a battle with the local GP, the GP arranged a 20 minute phone call with a Slam outreach therapist. This took nearly 3 weeks to happen! All the therapist was able to do was to get this person on a waiting list to see a Phychiatrist! As this person was recently advised to go to Kings College A and E, and was only seen in a public corridor behind the reception desk, ,she has vowed not to have this humiliation again. Perfectly understandable! Cllr Jim Dickson, a Lambeth cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing, a
well meaning man, and of whom I have a lot of respect for, stated we are on a Journey! I have to say that someone feeling suicidal does not want to go on a Journey! It is my belief that someone feeling suicidal should simply be able to walk into somewhere like the Maudsley Hospital, as they have not only the space and the right environment, they are also the world experts on mental health! I need to remind Cllr Dickson and others, that the Care Quality Commission clearly state that mental health sufferers must be treated in the right environment! A busy A and E such as Kings College Hospital definitely does not fit into this category! We also need to remember that over 16 people commit suicide daily in the UK! Nearly six thousand a year! All the official statistics state it gets worse every year rather than better! And an ageing society will make things even more difficult! Tom White, Health spokesman for Southwark Pensioners Action Group
New MP and local new resident
AS ONE of the 56 new Scottish National Party MPs, I now find that I’m a resident of Southwark – and I could not be more delighted.
The warm welcome I have received from local folk around Walworth Road, where I have a flat, is a tribute to the hospitality of ordinary Londoners of all classes, colours and creeds. Full marks for the vibrancy East Street market, where I get my vegetables. My gratitude to the excellent local restaurants – Turkish, Latin American, Chinese, and
Vietnamese. Speaking as a former board member of the Edinburgh Festival, can I say what a cultural jewel in the crown you have in the Southwark Playhouse. And a special thank you to the drivers on the Number 12 bus who get me to the Commons every day. As a new Southwark resident, I’m happy to report that I voted against the Tory government’s Welfare Reform and Budget Finance Bills, which penalise the poor of London as well as of Scotland. Alas, the three sitting Labour MPs for Southwark only abstained. George Kerevan, SNP MP for East Lothian
Hypocritical
LIB DEM activist Simon Hughes accuses Southwark’s Labour MPs of not standing up for the borough’s residents.
Is this the same Simon Hughes who in the last parliament voted for the Bedroom Tax? The same Simon Hughes who refused to oppose a trebling of university tuition fees? The same Simon Hughes who worked hand-in-glove with Chris Grayling at the Ministry of Justice to implement appalling cuts to legal aid? Since his defeat in May’s election, Simon Hughes has been made a knight of the realm, but judging from this recent intervention he remains as shameless, hypocritical and selfdeluded as ever. I ask that Southwark News treat any further correspondence of his with the derision it warrants by not publishing it in the first place. James Coldwell, Bermondsey

Book for the Grand Hotel AGENTS WERE afoot in the Southwark Playhouse bar before Grand Hotel - theatrical agents, writes Michael Holland...
Firstly, to see their clients were looked after and, secondly, to eye up any free talent. And that is because a Thom Southerland musical comes with talent and expectations, expectations of awards and high praise and more: he has just returned from a tour of Canada with the original cast of his Titanic. That’s talent. As the band struck up the first note and the ensemble kicked in with the first song it was obvious this was going to be a grand affair. As the staff and guests traversed the stage between the audience they created an ambience of grandeur. But then the atmosphere changed as the put-upon staff showed their resentment for the ill-mannered rich, a sentiment that unexpectedly returns at the end. In this upstairs-downstairs world

Southerland depicts the overlapping of lives with multi-conversational techniques, thus slowly but surely drip-feeding us snippets of the protagonists’ lives: There is the aged dancer on her last legs, mentally and physically, and her loyal assistant; the skint Baron trying to keep one step in front of his debtors; the wannabe film star who dreams of Hollywood and is prepared to do almost anything to improve her life; the man with little time left to live who wants to spend his final days in the lap of luxury, and the company director whose whole livelihood is in jeopardy as his business fails. Then there is the staff with their own set of unique troubles. The scene is set for a multitude of interwoven tales of intrigue and intimacy, love and lust, rape and robbery and all to the rhythm of a fine band. The costumes do a wonderful job of creating Roaring Twenties Berlin, and the cast do well to bring

Lee Proud’s brilliant choreography to life - it could not be bettered, and totally fits the era. Valerie Cutko as Raffaela totally stole the stage whenever she was on, but my heart went out to Victoria Serra as Flaemmchen whose radiant smile lit up the theatre as she danced away, while leaving every man she met helplessly in love with her, and half the audience I would imagine. Of course, despite all the Charleston frolics and high living, everything points to trauma and tragedy, so there are no happy endings at The Grand Hotel, except for two lucky lovers. It is worth booking in to see who they are.

TING
SHANGRI-LA HOTEL LEVEL 35 31 ST THOMAS STREET, LONDON, SE1 9QU 0207 234 8108 YOU PROBABLY shouldn’t start a food review with the restaurant loos, writes Ellie Ross...
But when they have heated seats, hightech flushes and three different types of phone chargers inside the cubicle, they were designed to get noticed. In fact, this sort of dalliance with modernity and showy-offy is intrinsic to the whole experience at Ting, a fine dining restaurant on level 35 of The Shard. Its name means “living room” in Chinese, and as I’m shown to my window table on a Thursday night, it feels exactly that. Friends chat over cocktails on plush sofas and comfy armchairs to the sound of gently tinkling music, while vases of brightly-coloured flowers adorn the low-lit room. Lining the vast windows, tables are immaculately laid out with crisp white linen, cut-glass tumblers and beautiful china, decorated with gold and oriental floral designs. There’s a distinctly chilled-out vibe - it
feels like you’re in an Asian oasis of calm, overlooking the hustle and bustle of London. This mixture of Chinese interior touches with a London skyline is reflected in the menu, which is modern British dining with an Asian twist. Scottish salmon and yuzu (a citrus fruit from East Asia) appear on the same plate, while the UK favourite of pigs cheeks come coated in a Panko, a Japanese version of breadcrumbs. From August 14 until September 1, the menu will give another nod to British tradition, with the inclusion of roasted red grouse - glazed in soy sauce, sake and mirin - to mark the game season. I kick off proceedings with a cocktail the Elderflower Bounty is delicious, with the aromatic addition of rose lemonade and a pinky tinge courtesy of a drop of sherry. The Kaffir Goose is comparatively disappointing - it tastes (and looks) like water - but does at least have an attractive swathe of black salt encrusted around the edge of the glass, like a collection of mysterious, dark gem
stones. With six courses including two desserts to get through, dishes on the Market Menu are small. Where possible, food is sourced from Borough Market, which I can just make out far beneath my feet as I sip the amuse bouche, gazpacho. It’s no ordinary gazpacho - a bright red coulis of pepper, tomato and basil is poured over small pieces of strawberry and cherry, and a zingy scoop of lemon sorbet. It’s like a bowlful of summer - fresh, fragrant and fun - and clears the palette before the smoked salmon starter. The fish is meaty not slimy and, as well as the citrus kick of yuzu it also has a tart kick from droplets of ponzu gel. I’m now on my third dish and still haven’t been offered wine. There are also side plates and butter on my table, but no bread. Service here is good - but you sometimes have to ask for it. As soon as I request wine, a fantastically knowledgeable sommelier whizzes over, explaining about the
different varieties and why they have been matched with each plate. “This Sancerre is crisp and flinty and prepares the palette for the next dish,” she says, pouring me a white to to finish my salmon with. The next course is Beef Short Rib, but instead of putting it with a red, it is paired with a Madeira, usually drunk with dessert or cheese. “It’s unusual to put this fortified wine with a second course but it works. It’s dry and goes well with the nutty beef and coffee flavours.” I soon see what she means - the beef is covered in a treacle-black coffee crumble, which is offset by the warming Madeira. A sharp zing of passion fruit cuts through the heavier, meaty flavours and the smooth carrot puree contrasts the crunch of coffee. It’s a triumph of a dish. There’s almost too long between courses - but it’s worth the wait as things get even better on the main course. The pig cheeks is something to behold - three chunks of meat coated in squid ink and Panko, sitting on a bed of creamy parsnip puree and drizzled with jus. The black cod is cooked perfectly falling away in chunky flakes - and
complemented by creamy lobster sauce and flavoursome mushrooms. Of the two desserts - Rose Water Parfait and Coconut Lime - the former stands out. A smooth scoop of rose-flavoured cream is dusted in pink and served with a glittering portion of jelly that is, of course, made from Champagne. It’s just another sign that Ting - from its loos to its last dish - turns the ordinary into something extraordinary. And that for me alone is worth it.

Public Notice Southwark Council
Member Allowances: 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014
In accordance with the Local Authorities (Members Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003, Southwark Council is publishing details of the allowances paid to members for the financial year 1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014 along with details of the allowances scheme which applied.
In May 2012 the council agreed a revised member allowances scheme having considered the recommendations of the council’s constitutional steering panel. The previous scheme was agreed having taken into account the London Councils Independent Remuneration Panel’s report in 2010. The scheme makes provision for a basic allowance to be paid to all councillors, and for special responsibility allowances (SRAs) to be paid to members who take on significant additional responsibilities. The allowances are grouped in bands, and the amounts for each band are set out below as existed for the year ending 31 March 2014. Basic allowances and travel, subsistence and carers allowances are adjusted in accordance with the national local government pay settlement and allowances for officers. SRA levels are set by council assembly. No member may receive more than one SRA. Members of the licensing sub-committee are paid £117 per meeting to recognise the heavy additional workload of the sub-committee.
Date Basic Allowance Special Responsibility Allowances Band 1a Band 1b Band 2a Band 2b Band 3 Band 4 Other Allowances Statutory co-opted members of scrutiny sub-committees
1 April 2013 – 31 March 2014 £10,599
£2,771 £8,357 £14,451 £22,631 £33,604 £50,065 £1,061
Band 3 and 4 allowances are dependent on the number of hours per week the member is employed elsewhere, as set out below: - less than 11 hours elsewhere, full SRA - 11 to 24 hours elsewhere, two thirds SRA - more than 24 hours elsewhere, one third SRA.
Band 1a allowance - payable to the chair of audit and governance committee; deputy leader of majority opposition; leader of minority opposition; opposition whip; vice-chair of overview and scrutiny committee, deputy cabinet members. Band 1b allowance – payable to Deputy Mayor; community council chairs; scrutiny sub-committee chairs; planning sub-committee chairs. Band 2a allowance – payable to chair of planning committee; chair of licensing committee; chief whip; leader of majority opposition. Band 2b allowance – payable to the Mayor and chair of overview and scrutiny committee. Band 3 allowance – payable to the deputy leader and cabinet members. Band 4 allowance - payable to the leader of the council. Statutory co-opted members of scrutiny sub-committees receive an annual allowance of £1,061, but do not receive the basic allowance.
The scheme also allows members and statutory co-opted members to claim travelling and subsistence allowance when on council business outside the borough. Members with disabilities may claim transport costs within the borough. Members may also claim for taxi fares for journeys after 9.00pm in summer (BST) and 7.00pm in winter (GMT).
Non statutory co-optees who do not receive an allowance can claim reimbursement for travel and subsistence. Members and co-opted members are entitled to claim dependent carers allowance, in connection with eligible meetings, at £6.00 per hour. At present a pension scheme for members is not in operation.
The full member allowance scheme for the 2013/14 period and the current scheme are available on the website. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200492/who_we_are/375/councils_constitution
There are 63 elected members of the council. The following table includes all elected members at the beginning of and during the year as well as appointed statutory co-opted members. Please note that the amounts listed are gross figures, before deductions for national insurance contributions and income tax. London Borough of Southwark 160 Tooley Street London SE1 2QH

B E R M O N D S E Y WELTERWEIGHT Ted Cheeseman will fight on the Anthony Joshua undercard when he makes his pro debut next month.
The ex-Fisher ABC boxer, who turns 20 today, will make his professional bow at the 02 Arena in Greenwich, rather than the small hall venues many other rookies start off in when in the paid ranks. But turning out in front of a big Ted Cheeseman
crowd holds no fears for Cheeseman. He told the News: “I thrive on it to be honest. It is an 18.000 seater arena and whilst it may not be full when I am on I think there will still be a big crowd of five to ten thousand people. “But I am looking forward to it and I am ready now to fight. It would be great to have people from Bermondsey there, they have always been supportive of me and I want them to be there for this. “It’s great when people from the area do well and hopefully I can give everyone a big night out

The seventeen-year-old picked up a unanimous points decision over Czech boxer Denisa Pauerova in the preliminary round of the European wide tournament. Fighting for England ABA in the youth section of the competition the
under 60kg boxer then took on Turk Esra Yildiz in the last eight of the competition, a fight that took place after the News went to press yesterday. Scotney is attempting to add a European title to the English and British titles she has gained in the last twelve months. All this in only her second year as an amateur since returning to boxing after a break from the sport.

eventually, like the days when Millwall are at Wembley and the whole area turns out for that.” Whilst the talented youngster has not settled on his walk on music or if he will adopt boxing nicknames such as ‘Super Ted’ or ‘Cheddar’ he is more than comfortable with the moniker of a professional fighter. Cheeseman said: “I have always had a big training ethic so the difference in that respect is not big. What has changed is you can’t be as loose as you are an amateur. “You can’t make mistakes and you have to get the details right. With smaller gloves you can deliver more
power but you also don’t want to get hit too often. “That is what I am working on really. I have had a good training camp and we are just working on the small details now.” Cheeseman will fight at the 02 Arena on September 12, a bill topped by highly rated heavyweight Anthony Joshua. The Olympic champion is currently unbeaten in thirteen professional fights. If you want tickets for the night contact Ted on 07534484065 or 07446125405.

Scotney takes first step to Euro gold By John Prendergast
BOXING/CRICKET 45
The win against the bottom side in Division Two of the Ryman Surrey Championship eased the Southwark side’s relegation woes, and was the second time in three weeks that Dulwich had demolished an opposition’s lower order to pull off an unlikely victory. It lifts them to eighth in the table, seventeen points ahead of Cheam and 22 above Ashford, but with 20 points available for a win and three matches still to play Dulwich still have work to do to avoid relegation. Dulwich chose to bat on Saturday but found the going tough as they reached 61 with half their overs used up. Naeem Iqbal was promoted to number five in the batting order in search for quick runs, and he responded by hitting 37 off 46 balls and sharing a stand of 51 in 11 overs for the fourth wicket. It took a few lusty blows from Euan Johnson, with an undefeated seventeen off nineteen balls, to lift Dulwich to 176/9 after their 50 overs. If Dulwich’s total looked inadequate at the break, it seemed even more so when Iqbal was hit for 26 off his first three overs. James Bridgland at the other end provided a complete contrast, conceding only three runs off his first three overs and picking up the first Ashford wicket. Frankie Brown took two wickets in three balls to reduce Ashford to 109-5 in the 29 over but Dulwich still looked up against it. Stuart Ferguson’s entry to the attack changed all that as he bowled Richard Mansfield with his first ball and followed up with two more wickets in his next over. The ninth wicket pair had advanced to 156 when Iqbal was recalled to the attack, and he needed only four balls to claim the last two wickets, both bowled, and see his side to a 20 run victory.

Surrey looking to tie up promotion By John Prendergast
news@southwarknews.co.uk
SURREY RETURN to County Championship action tomorrow against Gloucestershire hoping a win could see them take a big step towards promotion.
The Kennington club currently sit in second spot in Division Two, with the top two teams gaining promotion, behind Lancashire who hold a ten point advantage over Surrey.
The Kia Oval side sit a comfortable 54 points above nearest rivals Glamorgan with just four first-class games to go in the season. A win against Gloucestershire, who are fourth in the table, could also extinguish any outside hopes they have of moving up to Division One. Surrey played out two dead rubbers, from their point of view, in the Royal London Cup this week and they started with a defeat against Somerset on Monday. After getting off to a poor start,
losing two wickets for eight runs, Steven Davies, with 111, and Ben Foakes, 76, rebuilt the innings allowing Surrey to reach 267 all out with one ball remaining of their 50 over allotment. However Somerset were always in control in their run chase with Craig Overton, who earlier picked up three wickets for 37, smashing 40 off 22 balls to see his side home with some ease.

BELLINGHAM FOOTBALL FESTIVAL
TUESDAY 11TH August saw almost one hundred young people in attendance at Millwall Community Trust’s Premier League Kicks 6 aside boy’s football tournament.
The tournament was held at Bellingham Leisure Centre’s 3G surface. The trust have recently forged a very strong relationship with the leisure centre and were extremely grateful to the centre for allowing the trust to make use of their marvellous facility. The day saw young people that
are regular attendees of the trusts weekly activities come together to form teams and take part in the tournament. The format of the tournament saw ten teams entered into the group stages of the competition with them all fighting for a top four place and entry into the semifinals. After almost two hours of group stage matches, the top four teams then faced up in two ten minute semi-final clashes with Silwood Estate facing Bellingham and Woodpecker
facing Docklands Settlement. The games were tight with the four teams displaying to all why they had made it to the semifinals. The results saw Silwood drawn in the final with the boys from the Woodpecker youth club which again was tightly contested and after long twelve minutes went to a penalty shootout. The boys from the Silwood Estate ran out winners and were ecstatic about the day. Abraham Odoh, from the Silwood Estate said on the day “The day was great. Meeting up
with people from the other Millwall sessions was nice as you only really see people from your session. The final was a tight game but I think we played well and we’re happy we won”. Millwall’s Community Development Officer Gerry Otim said on the day “The standard of football on display from the young people reflects the amazing ability in the boroughs of Southwark and Lewisham and is also a testimony to the hard work of the coaches that work with the
young people on a weekly basis. It was a great chance to bring the young people together to create community cohesion in the local area”.

Harsh reality hits as Coventry dismantle woeful Millwall By John Kelly at The Den johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
Millwall 0-4 Coventry Attendance: 11,197 Man of the match: Adam Armstrong
THIS WAS a result that few saw coming. After the optimism of the previous week and the encouraging win at Shrewsbury, it took just 24 minutes for the harsh realities that the road out of League One is paved with speedbumps like this to come crashing down around the majority of those inside The Den.
By then Tony Mowbray’s side were 3-0 up, with on-loan Newcastle forward bagging a brace and former Tottenham winger Ruben Lameiras beating David Forde at his near post. Coventry fully deserved their lead and though the home side improved after the break, Jim O’Brien combined with substitute Marcus Tudgay to lash in his side’s fourth goal with ten minutes left. The Sky Blues were not one of the title favourites before the start of the season but on this evidence they ought to be considered at least a strong bet for a top-six place. In Armstrong they had the game’s most dangerous player and much will depend on whether Mowbray can hang on to the player beyond his current loan spell which ends in January. But the home side were guilty of giving the striker far too much space, and midfielders John Fleck, James Maddison and Lameiras were also able to manoeuvre into positions to pick out dangerous passes behind the Lions defence. Millwall boss Neil Harris said afterwards he had no problem with the effort of his players, but did highlight tactical and individual mistakes as key to handing Coventry the initiative. He also brought the squad in for training last Sunday to prepare for what was already shaping up to be a pivotal week in the season. Millwall: Forde; Cummings, Webster, Craig, Beevers (Ferguson, 45); Onyedinma, Upson (CowanHall, 77), Williams, L Martin (Thompson, 45); Gregory, Morison. Booked: Beevers, Onyedinma, Williams, Martin Morison Coventry: Burge; Willis, Ricketts, Johnson, Stokes; Lameiras (Tudgay, 72), Vincelot, Fleck, O’Brien; Maddison (Murphy, 63); Armstrong (G Thomas, 83).

VIDEO NASTIES KEY TO LEARNING

Defender wants Lions to find consistency By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
SHAUN CUMMINGS reflected on a difficult first week of the season that he felt showed how competitive League One will be with a number of sides scrapping for promotion.
He is hoping that as the season progresses the Lions will be able to build some consistency to mount a challenge for a top-six spot. The Jamaican international wants his side to improve their defensive record this season, with the Lions often looking unsure at the back during an inconsistent start to the campaign. Right-back Cummings, 26, said that means shouldering the
burden of playing in front of a demanding home crowd, something the players will have to get used to. He said: “This is going to be a competitive league, no matter who you’re against you’re going to be up against tough sides. We need to get some consistency going, get clean sheets under our belt and kick on.” “There’s always going to be pressure on the home team playing with passionate supporters who want to see their team do well. “We want to do well also, we don’t want to let our team-mates down or anyone down. We don’t want to let the fans down, which we did against Coventry, but hopefully we can give them something good to watch this season.
“A defeat like that puts you in a bad mood. Whenever I lose a game I’m gutted but when it’s 40 at home it’s not going to put you in the best of moods and that’s the way it should be for every player.” The former Chelsea and Reading defender revealed he finds it difficult to forget about poor results, but that examining videos of performances and seeing where mistakes were made is all part of the process of making sure those mistakes aren’t repeated. “We prep all week to know what a team’s strengths are,” he explained. “But sometimes you play against teams who are on their 'A' game and they punish you. “After Saturday we had a day or two to gather our thoughts and
watching it back is all about learning. If you don’t watch the video back you’re not going to know what mistakes you’ve made and won’t be able to rectify them. “If mistakes keep happening then obviously there is a bigger issue there. “After a game when you lose badly you think, ‘Is there anything I could have done more to prevent the result?’ But, it’s football. “You’re going to get results going against you, you’ll have those blips. Obviously games like that are difficult but if you keep it on your mind you’re never going to progress and go forward and you’re going to take it into the next game. You’ve just got to get it out of your head quickly and move on.”

Forde vs Madden
VS
Having conceded ten goals in the opening four games of the season, Forde will face a striker on form and will need to communicate effectively with his back four to ensure he isn’t picking the ball out of his net again at Glanford Park.
Fred vs Iron defence
VS
Onyedinma started on the right against Barnsley, scored his goal after moving to the left, terrorised the Tykes defence with some mesmerising skill and powered in a header from Ferguson’s corner to seemingly rescue a point for his side. About the only thing he didn’t manage was to head away the injury-time free-kick from which Lewin Nyatanga scored Barnsley’s winner. Scunthorpe will have to concentrate fully for 90 minutes to prevent Onyedinma - who has tended to score in bursts in his very brief career thus far – from adding to his goal tally.

immy Abdou and Aiden O’Brien made their returns to the Millwall side against Barnsley on Tuesday night and Neil Harris confirmed both came through the game unscathed.
Abdou started against the Tykes as Shaun Williams’ midfield partner, while striker O’Brien was brought on and played in a rightsided role as his side chased an equaliser. Joe Martin and Kris Twardek are still unavailable, however, as they continue their rehab on ankle and toe injuries, respectively. There is also an injury concern over Shane Ferguson after he was withdrawn in the second half against Lee Johnson’s side complaining of a tight hamstring. Lee Martin replaced him as
Millwall lost for the second successive time at home in the league The Lions will be hoping to improve a record of just three away wins in all competitions in 2015 when they face an Iron side that hasn’t lost at home since February 24 when Barnsley claimed the points at Glanford Park. Harris, though, might be happy to be playing away from The Den this weekend after enduring the most difficult week of his management career to date as Millwall lost three home games in eight days, conceding nine goals in the process. Chief among the concerns ahead of Saturday’s game will be how to tighten up the defence, particularly with the loose marking so evident at set-pieces that was the key contributory factor in Barnsley leaving south London with three points.
Scunthorpe will be in the mood to take advantage of their opponents and they have an intimidating recent home record. They beat a visiting Crewe side 2-0 last Saturday thanks to a brace from striker Paddy Madden. Boss Mark Robins can call on players with lots of Football League experience, particularly midfielder Neal Bishop, 34, and 33-year-old former Coventry City attacker Gary McSheffrey. Like Millwall they exited the League Cup last week but showed their resilience to confidently defeat Steve Davis’ side. Lions midfielder Ed Upson, meanwhile, is hoping his side put a troublesome week behind them to get back to winning ways. The former Yeovil Town player admitted to dwelling on the rout suffered against Coventry last weekend but says it is still early enough in the season to turn things around, despite another

dispiriting setback on Tuesday night. He said: “It ruins your weekend but, as much as it does hurt, you’ve got to put it behind you as soon as you can and move on. “It’s still early days and there’s plenty of time, but we’ve got to start getting it right sooner rather than later. “At the start of the week we had a long meeting where we talked about things and what’s gone wrong. You’ve got to learn from it as soon as you can.” Upson started on the left of midfield on Tuesday night having played in the centre in the first three games of the season but he says he will fill in wherever his manager needs him “I’m more than happy to play on the left. I played there towards the end of last season and did well. “What’s more important is that we get our season up and running soon.”

Neil Harris makes three changes to the side with Sid Nelson, Shane Ferguson and Jimmy Abdou coming into the starting XI
Southwark News, August 20, 2015
FRED OYEDINMA was still in his match kit when he arrived upstairs in the press lounge at The Den to try to explain what the problem is with Millwall’s home form.
If that seemed a daunting ordeal for an 18-year-old then he seemed about as daunted as he had not long earlier when he threatened to drag his side to a result their shambolic set-piece defending eventually cost them. Legs still marked with mud from the pitch and no doubt some bruises after the Coventry defence gave him some robust personal attention, it was probably the first time in the night he had failed to come up with an adequate answer. It had looked with eight minutes left against Barnsley on Tuesday night that he had provided the perfect one after Neil Harris had asked his players what their response would be in the wake of the 4-0 defeat to Coventry last weekend. Instead Harris is left to pose more difficult questions to his players, chief among them, as he hinted afterwards: Who was supposed to be taking responsibility when Lee Johnson’s side scored from three set-pieces to make it nine goals that Millwall have now conceded in three home games? If the bare statistics aren’t bad enough, it was the manner of the goals and specifically what preceded them that will really exasperate Harris. Neither Lewin Nyatanga’s injurytime winner that he powered past David Forde nor Alfie Mawson’s 56th-minute strike from inside the box came from particularly quickly taken free-kicks. In fact it was quite the opposite with Barnsley taking their time over both set-pieces giving, one would have thought, the home defence enough time to set themselves. Instead Mawson, who showed throughout the game with his authoritative marshalling of Steve Morison and Lee Gregory why Harris was keen to sign him in the summer and why Johnson didn’t hesitate in giving him the captain’s armband, found enough space just inside the box to volley Marc Robert’s knock-down past Forde. Nyatanga’s winner was even more straightforward - and therefore all the more galling – as he rose practically unchallenged close to the six-yard line to head the winner and condemn Millwall to a third successive defeat at home. If there is a shred of comfort – besides the promise shown at times

by Sid Nelson and the return from injuries of Jimmy Abdou and Aiden O’Brien – it is that at least the video analysis of this game could be condensed down to those three setpiece incidents and the remedial work started from there. After Saturday’s defeat at home to Tony Mowbray’s Coventry it was probably a case of where to start. Onyedinma said this was a much-
improved performance, and it was impossible to disagree with that. At least the side showed again that they can come back from a goal down – it was the third time they have done so in four games – but that fact that they are losing goals in such quantities is a worry, and this against sides who had not been thought of as ones to trouble the trophy engravers at the end of the

season. The other worry is that, for all that opposition managers and players talk about how difficult it is to play at The Den, their teams don’t play in a way that suggests any inhibition. In fact, it is working against the home side and though Harris wouldn’t admit it maybe he is happy that there is another trip north

on Saturday away from wondering how to break the home hoodoo. There was definitely a strange, subdued atmosphere on Tuesday after the Millwall boss had called for the fans to get behind his team. It was almost as if players and fans were waiting to take their cue from the other, and there was evidence on the pitch of a fear that one mistake would provoke derision from the
crowd. It was only when Onyedinma poked Steve Morison’s cross over the line on 27 minutes that that seemed to lift and indeed Harris and his coaches will look back on the moments following the goal with frustration as first Shaun Williams was inches away from connecting with a cross with the goal gaping. Minutes later Millwall thought
they had doubled their lead only for referee Dean Whitestone to silence the celebrations when he deemed Lee Gregory had fouled goalkeeper Davies after Tony Craig had headed back across goal towards the far corner. It looked as if the ball would have gone in anyway without the striker’s intervention, adding to the sense of frustration. That deepened minutes later when

build some momentum with ten minutes left and Onyedinma added another string to his impressive bow by powering home Shane Ferguson’s corner. But Nyatanga drifted behind the home defence in injury-time to ensure his side left with the points and left the home side with a whole new set of questions to find the answers to.

HARRIS GLAD AT JIMMY RETURN By Jay Taylor

Onyedinma steps up to mark but Lions lose again EXCLUSIVE

FRED ONYEDINMA said Millwall needed “leaders” after the Lions lost their third game in a row at The Den.
A miserable eight days for Neil Harris’ side was completed in injury-time against Barnsley on Tuesday night when Lewin Nyatanga headed in a late winner for his side. Onyedinma scored his first two goals for Millwall, and his bullet
header from Shane Ferguson’s cross looked like it was going to result in at least a point, before Nyatanga rose to power Conor Hourihane’s free-kick past David Forde. Afterwards Onyedinma said: “Right now we need leaders to step up and we need to stick together as a team.” Asked if he sees himself in that role he replied: “I’m a leader in a different way, not a leader vocally, more influencing the game with the way I play, with energy, so I think I can be a leader in that sense.”
And while the 18-year-old attacker was happy with his own contribution, he said the players were distraught at the manner of the defeat. “We wanted to win this game because of the 4-0 defeat at home to Coventry. We wanted to win and build from there so it is disappointing to get back to 2-2 and then lose 3-2 right at the end. “I’m delighted with the two goals I scored, my first goals for Millwall. But we lost again at home so I’m disappointed with that. “This was a third defeat at home
as well. We conceded from three set-pieces which isn’t good enough. “I think on another day we would have defended them well, and if you see the goals that happens sometimes in football. “Hopefully the next game we can win and go from there. “We obviously need to work on defending set-pieces. We’re going to do that and stick together as a team and go from there really. “We just need to move on from this and look forward to Saturday and get a win.”
The Lions stalwart had missed the first two weeks of the new season after suffering a hamstring injury in preseason but returned to action in Tuesday night’s 3-2 defeat to Barnsley. Abdou played the whole game as the Lions fell to a third home defeat in little over a week, but manager Harris was full of praise for the fit-again midfielder. “I’m delighted with Jim,” Harris said. “It’s great to have him back in the team and back into the fold. “We certainly miss him when he isn't on the pitch. At times be looked a little bit rusty regaining the ball, but the 90 minutes tonight will stand him in good stead for Saturday. “He’s been a big part of this club for a long time and we look like a better team when he is in it.” Meanwhile, Harris revealed he took off Shane Ferguson as a precaution in the defeat to Lee Johnson’s Tykes, and he also gave an update on summer signing Joe Martin. Ferguson came off holding his left hamstring but Harris is hoping the Newcastle loanee only had cramp ahead of Saturday’s trip to Glanford Park to take on Scunthorpe United. Harris said: “Shane Ferguson came off with a hamstring injury so we will have to see how he responds. “Hopefully it’s just his hamstring cramping up, he certainly ran himself into the ground and couldn’t run any more so we had to adjust. “Joe Martin isn't going to be available until next week.”
