NOT READY BREX MPs reveal how they will vote when Brexit debate goes to Parliament
EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
BERMONDSEY AND Old Southwark MP Neil Coyle will defy the outcome of the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union by voting against Article 50 in the House of Commons.
Once triggered, Article 50 – part of the Lisbon Treaty – will formally notify the EU of the UK’s wish to leave, starting a two-year countdown to independence. Fellow MP Harriet Harman has said she will not take a position on the vote at present, while MP Helen Hayes will follow MP Neil unless a referendum on the exit plans or a general election is held.

Editorial
No point to a scheme that costs more than it saves
T
HE ‘PAY to Stay’ scheme was clearly an ill-thoughtout policy and it’s right that it was dropped, especially for a borough like ours – the largest social landlord in London.
When the council faces massive and continuing cuts to its budget, the cost of implementing such a scheme would have cost more than it would have saved - which makes little sense, even if the principle is correct. The scheme, which would have seen council tenants earning over £40,000 paying more in rent, would eat into the admin costs in the housing department, who should be devoting their time to finding ways to build more homes in a borough where we face a critical housing shortage. Both the ruling Labour administration and the Lib Dem opposition were against the Government plan. Let’s hope they can come together to fight the corner of tenants and residents on other policies under the Housing and Planning Act, including the end of lifetime tenancies and the forced sale of council homes. As is always the case it is the Tenants’ & Residents’ Associations across the borough that are best placed to judge the impact on people living in a part of London where everyday costs are spiralling out of control. A campaign involving these foot soldiers and legions of other councils’ administrations, plus opposition parties battling for the same thing, might just stop disastrous policies before they have any chance of being implemented.
MEP’s complete disregard for voters
M
ISTAKES HAPPEN but for MEP Seb Dance to not even respond over voter information that was openly dumped outside his offices showed a blatant disregard for his constituents.
The Labour MEP might not have thrown out the information himself, but to fail to response to calls for weeks from this paper about the incident may indicate that he no longer cares now Brexit has happened. He might have lost his job at the EU following the referendum, but Article 50 has not yet been triggered and he is still one of our representatives in the European Parliament. Even though local MP Neil Coyle shares an office with Mr Dance, it is not his job to speak on his behalf.

ELEPHANT AND CASTLE
THE PURR-FECT NIGHT ON THE TILES? First ever feline video festival will feature human sized cat tree and ‘kitty litter’ ball pit
By Kirsty Purnell
news@southwarknews.co.uk
IF YOU’RE feline like a night out on the tiles this week, Elephant and Castle’s Coronet may have a purr-fect evening for you - Catnip, London’s first ever cat video festival.
Catnip is a celebration of the greatest cat videos out there and awards will be given to the best of the best, with categories including Most Cunning Saboteur and Best Singer. “People can expect a huge, catthemed party to celebrate the global
trend of power that cats have over us today,” said James Elphick, Creative Director of Third Mind Productions, which specialises in “unusual and immersive” experiences. The festival is inspired by an online language dreamed up by James and his writer pal, which consisted entirely of cat memes, pictures and videos. “We discovered a visual language entirely made up of cats that we used in lieu of actual conversations,” said James, “It took a little tweaking to get to our launch event this Friday, and we are very excited to see what happens next,” he said.
Although it’s a celebration of our furry friends, James advises that it’d be best to leave your felines at home. “With all the loud music, lights and revelry, it's probably the last place a cat should be!” he said. Catnip will also have DJ sets throughout the night plus a range of circus and cabaret acts. For all other tastes, there’s a cat meme gallery, arcade games, walkabout purrformers and a cat gymnasium. “In the Cat Gym room we have a human sized cat tree designed by talented artist Kat Buchanan inhabited by cat characters, alongside
an exclusive album listening session of Music For Cats by David Teie and a 'kitty litter' ball pit,” said James. Choosing the Coronet – and Elephant and Castle – as the host for Catnip was a no-brainer for James. “We did our first few events at Corsica Studios over ten years ago, and have loved the area as our spiritual home,” he said, “It's great to bring something as silly and wonderful as this event to Elephant and Castle.” Catnip will run from 10pm-6am on Friday 25 November and tickets can be purchased from www.nip.cat for £16.95.
‘I’LL VOTE AGAINST ARTICLE 50 BEING TRIGGERED’ SAYS BERMONDSEY MP

MPs reveal how they will vote when Brexit debate goes to parliament EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
BERMONDSEY AND Old Southwark’s MP Neil Coyle has revealed he will vote against Article 50 - the government’s formal notification of leaving the EU - when it comes to the House of Commons .
His Dulwich and West Norwood counterpart Helen Hayes is saying she will do the same unless there is another referendum on the details of the Brexit plan. MP Neil ruled out passing the legislation as he would not “support anything in parliament that could harm our community”. “Article 50 is a case in point. The referendum result has already damaged opportunities and jobs as well as caused tensions and a rise in some crimes,” he said. “Actually leaving the EU would be a thousand times worse. My role is also to represent the whole community - including local
children who stand to lose the most but had no say in the debate. “I cannot support triggering Article 50 and stand by my promise.” Meanwhile Helen Hayes, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, said she would vote against Article 50 unless a second referendum on a “detailed Brexit proposal or a general election” had been held. Southwark’s third MP, Harriet Harman, MP for Camberwell and Peckham, said she would not “take a position” on the vote at present, but would once more information was available on what they would be voting for. In June’s referendum on whether the United Kingdom should leave the European Union, the Leave vote won nationally with 52% of the vote.
In Southwark, however, the majority of voters indicated that they would like to Remain, with 72.3 per cent in favour of staying in the EU.
With a turnout at 66.3 per cent, 94,293 voted to Remain and 35,209 voted Leave. The Government has said it plans to trigger Article 50 from the Lisbon
Treaty by the end of March next year, which will start a two-year countdown after which the Treaties that govern the EU will no longer apply to the UK.

Party in the Printworks - old Evening Standard site converted into venue ROTHERHITHE
By Kirsty Purnell
news@southwarknews.co.uk
THE OLD Evening Standard Printworks site in Canada Water has been turned into a 5,000 capacity licensed venue, which looks set to host a range of cultural events from early 2017, it was announced this week.
The sixteen-acre site, owned by British Land and operated by the Vibration Group, will house a range of events across the industries of art, culture, fashion, music, film, food, immersive theatre, dance and more. If Southwark Council approves the Printworks’ temporary planning application, events will be underway from January 2017. The Printworks would operate as an arts and culture venue for a five year period, during which time the Canada Water Masterplan, which incorporates Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, Surrey Quays Leisure Centre and the Printworks, will be developed. During re-development of the venue, care has been taken to retain
elements of the industrial and cultural heritage of the building. There are two fully sound-proofed ‘Press Halls’ and original features from the former
printing factories have been left on display. There are six, diverse events spaces, arranged over multiple levels,
interconnected by a network of corridors and rooms. As well as its plans for an innovative, cultural, ticketed performances, the Printworks will also provide accessible rehearsal spaces for local collectives and communities, allowing creative outfits of all sizes to thrive. Broadwick Live, owners and curators of Field Day and LWE, London’s biggest independent music electronic music promoters have been drafted in to work with the Vibration Group on delivering the programme. Simeon Aldred, Head of Creative and Strategy at The Vibration Group, said: "We are creating an experiential space alongside the landowner and developer of the Printworks site, Southwark Council and British Land, which will give cultural organisations, curators and creatives room to explore this totally unique industrial space.” Gareth Cooper, CEO of Broadwick Live, said: “Our dream is to add another notch to London's world class entertainment scene, and we can't wait to get started”
Second workshop for Aylesham centre development plans PECKHAM: The property developer set to re-develop the Aylesham Shopping Centre has announced it will host a second community planning workshop today, Thursday, November 24.
People need only attend one workshop as the same topics will be covered on both days, says Tiger Developments Ltd. The first workshop was scheduled for November 23. Both workshops will be hosted at Rye Lane Baptist Church, from 6.30-8.30pm. Events are ticketed due to the capacity restrictions of the venue, which can only hold 50 people. Tiger Developments are using the workshops as a first step in their planning process for the important town centre site. Tickets can be reserved at theayleshamcentre.eventbrite.co.uk or by calling 0800 307 7562.

Resident finds folder of information in recycling
EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
BERMONDSEY AND Old Southwark MP Neil Coyle has had to step in and apologise on behalf of Labour MEP Seb Dance for voter information being dumped in recycling bins outside their office on Jamaica Road.
The folder of information, which included people’s names, addresses and voting intentions, was found by a resident, who did not want to be named, walking by. They were startled by the discovery and said it was “unprofessional” of the politicians to have let the details be left out in the open. MEP Dance did not want respond to the News’ request for a comment. MP Coyle, whose office is next to the MEP, was forced to step in and comment on his behalf. He said: “We had a clear-out and amongst the leaflets was a folder containing voter identification. “We have a shredder in that office

and there’s even a confidential waste service. We are very sorry that people’s personal information was put out there. “We are still trying to work out who put it there and it won’t happen again.” The resident who made the discovery has since sent the folder to the Independent Parliament Standards Authority, where they will be disposed of properly.

Village’s ‘oldest house’ up for sale for £5.5m By Kirsty Purnell
news@southwarknews.co.uk
WHAT COULD be Dulwich Village’s oldest house is up for grabs, as Lonsdale Lodge went on the market last week.
House hunters with period home aspirations can pick up the 18th century relic for the princely sum of £5.5m. The original part of the house, which has been added to over the centuries, is locally believed to have been built in around 1750. According to Harvey & Wheeler, the estate agents managing the property, Lonsdale is one of around
six Georgian houses remaining in the Village. “The architectural details of the house tell us that Lonsdale Lodge is slightly older, by a few years, than the other houses,” said local historian, Brian Greene. The property has a gross internal area of 4,517 square foot and currently has seven bedrooms, two bathrooms and three toilets. This is the first time that the property has been on the market in 60 years, with the current owner buying it in 1957. Despite its old age, very little is known locally about the history and previous inhabitants of the house.
The voter information used by MEP Dance, who represents London in Brussels, were thrown away in the wake of the referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union. On June 23 this year it was decided that the UK should leave the EU, meaning British MEPs will no longer be required after Article 50 is triggered and the two-year exit is completed.

POLICE APPEALING FOR WITNESSES AFTER MURDER OUTSIDE CHURCH

CAMBERWELL

POLICE ARE still appealing for witnesses after a Bromley man was stabbed to death outside a Camberwell church last weekend.
Detectives are investigating the death of Mohamed Kakay, 33, who was attacked on Saturday at around 9am outside St Giles Church in Camberwell Church Street. Mohamed, who was originally from Sierra Leone and came to the UK as an asylum seeker, was taken to a south London hospital but died in the afternoon. It is thought he entered the grounds at the rear of the church at around 9am and, after he was stabbed, managed to stagger along the path at the side to the front and out onto Camberwell Church Street, before collapsing near Wilson Road. Some members of the public stopped and administered first aid until emergency services arrived. Detective Chief Inspector Lee Watling, who is leading the
investigation, said: "We understand that the grounds and footpaths around St Giles Church are popular in the local area with dog walkers, and by people using them as a 'cut through'. "So we are appealing to anyone who was in or around the area of the church at around 9am on Saturday morning, November 19, to contact our incident room. "My team and I are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen or heard anything at that time. It is
possible someone may have witnessed something that can assist our investigation." A 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday before being bailed pending further enquiries to a date in mid-January. Any witnesses or anyone with any information, please call the incident room on 020 8721 4205. To give information anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.

BERMONDSEY
By Alex Yeates

BERMONDSEY’S STANLEY Arms pub is holding a fundraising night for the annual Pensioners’ Christmas Day Dinner next month.
The pub in Southwark Park Road supports the annual Christmas bash each year, with the last event raising around £1,900 for Bermondsey Care for the Elderly. Starting at 8pm on December 10, everyone is invited to come along for a £5 entry, to take part in a raffle supported by local businesses. Natasha Nicholls, one of the organisers, said: “On the day they [the pensioners] get picked up on Christmas Day by a mini bus and are taken to Guy’s Hospital Tower for a three course meal, a present and music. “We raise money for them each year doing a raffle. It’s for the elderly who otherwise would not be with anyone on the day. It’s nice to get them out.”
This year’s Pensioners’ Christmas Day Dinner marks the end of founder Coral Newell’s time in charge, after she set it up and ran it for the last 40 years. Coral, of the Beormund Community Centre, has led the free festive meal – which feeds 150 lonely pensioners on December 25 each year – in the Robens Suite on the 29th floor of Guy’s Hospital Tower after seeing a lack of events for them in 1977. Now after the birth of her first great-grandchild, she wants to spend the day at home to spend some time with her family. The event has grown in popularity over the years where the pensioners are treated to a slap-up meal of a seasonal soup, a traditional turkey main with all the trimmings and a Christmas pudding, as well as entertainment. If anyone would like to donate to the pub’s raffle, please drop by the Stanley Arms or contact them on twitter: https://twitter.com/StanleyArms1

Gang kidnapped and tortured teen before dumping her in Burgess Park
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
A VICIOUS gang who tortured a teenage girl with a metal baseball bat, knuckleduster and dog chain after kidnapping her from off the street in Kent has been locked up for a total of 29 years.
The terrified 19-year-old was bundled into the back of a car outside her home in Chatham and had her hands bound with duct tape, before being driven to London and dragged into a secluded area of Burgess Park in the early hours of the morning. She was repeatedly punched in the face, threatened with a gun and had a sock stuffed into her mouth and secured with tape so passers-by would not hear her screaming. One of her attackers - Jamaican national Kaswayne Williams - was once a promising footballer who had been scouted and played for Chelsea FC. He then joined Reading FC while at secondary school and also played for Fulham. After other horrific attacks with the bat, knuckleduster and her own dog chain the animal having been let off its lead by the gang when she was kidnapped - the badly beaten and petrified victim was
She was repeatedly punched in the face, threatened with a gun and had a sock stuffed into her mouth and secured with tape, so passers-by would not hear her screaming. dumped in the street to be found by a member of the public. The police officer who led the hunt for the kidnappers - including a woman later said it was the most callous act of violence he had seen in his fifteen year career and that the victim was lucky to be alive. Maidstone Crown Court heard her ordeal lasted almost three hours. She has since been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and in June had to be detained in hospital after a mental breakdown. As well as still undergoing treatment for her physical injuries, she and her family have had to leave their Kent home and relocate to a new area. Williams, 20, of Peckham Park Road, was sentenced to sixteen years, George Emmett, 19, of Lakeside Close, Sidcup, was sentenced to eight years and Sheneqwa Delpratt, 20, of New Paragon Walk, Walworth, was sentenced to five years.
Williams was also found guilty of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, while Emmett was found guilty of assault. Both men were also found guilty of blackmail, robbery and possessing offensive weapons. Investigating Officer Detective Constable Matthew Lincoln said: "It is a truly shocking case in which two men viciously assaulted a woman in an argument over money, assisted by Delpratt whose role as designated driver meant she was far from being an innocent bystander. "Neither Williams nor Emmett demonstrated any concern for their victim’s welfare and she could have very easily died after being subjected to such serious and sustained attacks. I would like to praise the tremendous courage she has displayed throughout this whole ordeal.�

A BRUTAL attack on a Dulwich boxer by a group of youths has forced him to withdraw from a British title fight match this Saturday.
Ahmet Patterson, 29, was struck by a brick whilst out running alone, late at night on Thursday, November 17. The News understands that Patterson and his management have not contacted the Met Police, and it has not been confirmed where in London the attack happened. The super-welterweight fighter was left with injuries to his head and right eye after three men blocked his path and struck him with the brick. “I was doing my road work when I noticed a group of men gathering on the pavement around 50 yards in front of me,” said Mr Patterson, also a professional model. “I tried to run around them, but they moved in front of me and blocked my path. “As I ran around them one of the men struck me in the face with a brick and we got in a scuffle. Once I started defending myself they ran off.” Mr Patterson was left with no choice but to cancel his challenge for the Lonsdale Belt against Liam Williams at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. He added: “Once my injuries have healed hopefully I’ll get another crack at the Lonsdale Belt. This is a gutting setback but I’ll be back stronger than

Mobile thieves banged up By Alex Yeates

TWO SOUTHWARK thieves have been jailed for a total of seven and a half years for conspiring to steal mobile phones.
Javed Khan, 27, of Camberwell Road and Jack Green, 21, of Elstead Street in Walworth, were both found guilty following a three week trial at Inner London Crown Court. Green, who was imprisoned for four years, committed 38 thefts between January and October 2015 which were often snatches and on some occasions his victims were forced to the floor when he stole their mobile phones while riding mopeds or pedal cycles on the pavement. CCTV showed Green would circle
an area stalking victims using their phones who were unaware of his presence. He would then make a calculated approach and steal their device before making off at speed. The court heard how on many occasions Khan, who was jailed for three and a half years, and Green would contact each other and meet, with Khan then taking the stolen handsets to sell on. This pattern of offending stopped when Green broke his ankle and was incapable of walking. However when he had a cast fitted he continued offending, riding stolen mopeds and snatching phones whilst wearing an air boot. Officer in Charge, PS Pathania of the Proactive Task Force Southwark, said: “This has been a long and complicated enquiry, unveiling a substantial pattern of offending and
a long term agreement between the parties to steal phones for their own financial gain. “I hope that the sentences imposed serve as a warning to criminals involved in similar offending. “
Volunteer speakers and mentors spoke at Beyond the Endz to teach kids ways to “overcome barriers” to have a successful life, rather than turning to a life of crime. The kids were split into four or five different groups and workshops where they discussed music, media, politics and health and wellbeing. Peckham born rapper Giggs made an appearance at the event to speak to the kids about “following their dreams”. “It’s good to talk to kids and answer their questions. Tell them to follow their dreams and forget all the bull****,” he

said. “I had to learn the hard way. I didn’t really have people helping. I looked up to drug dealers for survival and thought that was the way forward but there are other ways. “There’s a lot more opportunities for the kids these days than when I was growing up. It’s important you put the work in. “If I get through to even just one or two kids then that’s a start.” Other speakers included Noel Williams, a consultant spoke on the importance of politics, rapper Ms Banks and media entrepreneurs Link Up TV.

Government drops ‘Pay to Stay’ plans to charge high earning tenants more rent
Southwark politicians and campaigners welcome news

THE GOVERNMENT has dropped its controversial ‘Pay to Stay’ plans to force councils to charge tenants more rent if they earn more than £31,000 in England or £40,000 in London.
Premier League footballer has £25,000 Rolex stolen in Rotherhithe robbery By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
POLICE ARE investigating after AFC Bournemouth’s Jordon Ibe had his £25,000 Rolex watch stolen at knifepoint by Surrey Quays station earlier this month.
The twenty-year-old Premier League midfielder’s car was rammed by another vehicle with four people inside, who threatened Ibe with a knife before making off with his
watch. The incident happened at around 1:45pm on Sunday November 6. A police spokesperson said: “One of the suspects threatened the victim with a knife before stealing his watch. The victim was not injured. “At this early stage, officers are investigating whether the suspects intentionally collided with the victim's car. “Enquiries continue and there have been no arrests.”
In a dramatic climb down, Housing minister Gavin Barwell announced it will no longer be compulsory for councils or housing associations to pursue the policy. The proposal was set to be part of the new Housing and Planning Act, and predicted to impact around 70,000 households across the country by putting up average yearly rent by more than £1,000 – which was criticised by council leaders and charities. Leader of Southwark Council Cllr Peter John said: “Southwark Labour councillors have been campaigning hard against the introduction of Pay to Stay, which would have led to huge rent hikes for our council tenants. “We are delighted that the Tory Government has dropped their plans for a Tenant Tax. Now it’s time to scrap the other disastrous policies in the Housing and Planning Act, including the end of lifetime tenancies and the forced sale of
council homes. “Southwark is at the heart of the affordable housing crisis in London, and we will continue to fight the Tories’ assault on social housing.” Current rules say social landlords can charge tenants with incomes over £60,000 market or near-market rate. Tanya Murat, chair of Southwark Defend Council Housing, welcomed the news, saying “we knew all along that we could beat the act”. Anood Al-Samerai, leader of Southwark Liberal Democrats, said: “Liberal Democrats are pleased the Government has accepted that the ‘Payto-Stay’ proposals should be voluntary for councils. This will be a huge relief to households across Southwark.
“Making Pay to Stay mandatory would have affected thousands of tenants in the borough. The council would have needed to invest millions in new IT systems, hire new staff and snoop on tenants’ income levels. "Liberal Democrats in Parliament have been working hard to make the Government understand how difficult, lengthy and costly the policy would be, as well as causing huge stress for tenants. “But we will continue to fight residents’ corner on controversial policies like extending the right-to-buy to h o u s i n g association tenants, new ‘starter homes’ and forcing councils to sell off their high-value stock.” Council leader Peter John
Patient waited on trolley at King’s for almost 2 days CAMBERWELL
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
A PATIENT at King’s College Hospital waited nearly two days on a trolley due to a shortage of specialist beds, it was revealed last week.
The patient had to stay in the hospital’s casualty department for 45 hours and 50 minutes due to a delay in finding a bed in a specialist psychiatric unit elsewhere. Figures obtained by the Labour Party show that it was one of fifteen cases between April and June in which patients were kept on trolleys for more than twelve hours – all of which were mental health patients being delayed because of bed shortages in other hospitals. Neil Coyle, MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, called the situation “unacceptable”.
“People are waiting too long for ambulances, too long in A&E and even too long to see a GP as the NHS continues to suffer,” he said.
“Six years of reorganisation and cuts dressed up as “efficiency savings” are impacting terribly on the care people receive.” A spokesperson for King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: “Regrettably, patients who spend the longest time in our Emergency Department tend to be those with serious mental health problems who require transfer to a specialist bed in a psychiatric hospital. “Demand for mental health beds unfortunately exceeds capacity in London, and it can take prolonged periods for an appropriate bed to become available. “All patients with mental health needs who come to our Emergency Department are cared for by specialist teams, including psychiatric colleagues, to ensure they receive appropriate care in a safe environment.”

Family and friends remember farm’s ‘fantastic’ Daphne

Surrey Docks Farm education worker ‘was an inspiration’ says Rotherhithe blacksmith By Kirsty Purnell
Romeo and refugee
news@southwarknews.co.uk
FAMILY, FRIENDS and excolleagues turned out at Honor Oak Crematorium on November 22 to pay tribute to a “fantastic educationalist” who impacted thousands of lives during her career at Surrey Docks Farm.
Daphne Ferrigan was Education Worker at the Farm from around 1983-2003, during which time she developed and delivered a range of education programmes. She passed away unexpectedly on November 2 of an aortic dissection, a tear in the wall of one of the heart’s major arteries. She was 64-years-old. Kevin Boys, blacksmith on the farm, worked with Daphne from 1991, up until she left in 2003. “She was an inspiration,” said Kevin, who collaborated with her on several programmes, “she had an enormous impact on how the farm worked.” Kevin spoke of Daphne’s positive effect on others: “People come back here even now with their own children and speak about Daphne.” Daphne began her career in education as a primary school teacher and this is how, believes her son Oscar, she first came into contact with the farm. “She probably first found out about it by bringing her own
Arts Page 30 group of school children to the farm,” he said. Oscar described how his mum was a “strong-willed” woman who “worked tirelessly” to promote the farm’s programme, as well as the importance of education in general. “The farm was something that she cared a great deal about,” said Oscar, “She was really active in trying to promote the importance of education and giving kids something worthwhile to do.” At one point, both Oscar’s parents worked at the farm, his father holding the post of Farm Manager. The whole family lived on the farm but left in 2003. “I’m sure there are lots of people out there who will have known Daphne,” he said.
Drone ‘within 20 metres’ of plane BOROUGH: A plane flying near the Shard avoided a disaster “by chance”, narrowly avoiding a drone after it may have passed over its right wing.
The jet carrying 165 passengers was on its final descent into Heathrow when the drone came within twenty metres in July, according to a report by the UK Airprox Board, part of the Civil Aviation and Military Aviation authorities. The UKAB report said: "Members agreed that this incident appeared to
be a very near-miss and that the drone operator should not have been flying in that location at that altitude." Drones being flown close to airplanes has become a regular occurrence, with reports saying the near-miss by the Shard was the third in consecutive days involving planes approaching Heathrow. Police launched an investigation in October after receiving reports of drones flying near the airport. The owner of the drone could not be tracked down.

YELLOW BOXES HALF-FINISHED DUE TO ‘WET WEATHER’ JAMAICA ROAD CHAOS
B E R MO ND S E Y
EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
ONLY HALF of the promised yellow boxes at junctions along Jamaica Road were put down last week due to “wet weather” putting a halt to works.
Drivers and passers-by have seen the boxes begin to appear after the News reported that they got the go-ahead from Transport for London after pressure from Liberal Democrat councillors. Fresh permits to allow the rest of the boxes to be put down have been granted, which campaigners hope will help ease congestion on the road while Tower Bridge is shut for maintenance. Cllr Anood Al-Samerai, Leader of
the Southwark Liberal Democrats, said: “We’ve made great progress on this long running campaign and it’s a shame that the weather slowed work. “Transport for London need to finish the painting urgently and then monitor and enforce the yellow box rules, once drivers have had a chance to get used to them. “We are still fighting the corner of local residents for the roundabout layout to be improved as this will help to address the cause of the congestion.” As part of the announcement for yellow boxes TfL scrapped plans to resurface the entire road at some point next year amid fears it would lead to more disruption. The permanent yellow-box junctions will be installed at the junctions with Abbey Street, St James’ Road, and Southwark Park Road.

CLUB SAVED BY OLD BOILER DOWN TO just one boiler working, Salmon Youth Centre thought that their 100-year run might be at an end –until Veolia Environmental Trust came along. With the winter months approaching, the broken boiler system would have made it illegal for the centre to open. A successful funding application to the Veolia Trust meant that the Centre was awarded £14,603 through the Landfill Communities Fund toward their repair bill. Centre Patron, Mr Gordon Izzatt, donated £10,000 and the Centre made up the remainder of the £40,000 bill themselves. “The contractors who did our new

building seven years ago have since gone into administration,” said Centre Director, Sam Adofo, “When things went wrong, we had nobody to go back to.” “If we hadn’t got this money, we’d have had to have closed. The kids would have had to have found somewhere else to go,” said Sam. Salmon Youth Centre is based on Old Jamaica Road, Bermondsey. Its model of youth work focuses on health and wellbeing, positive community engagement, education and work preparation. It employs 22 youth
workers and supports around 500 young people each week. With 110 years under its belt, Sam pointed to Salmon’s importance in the community. “In a time where everything’s changing for people, it’s fantastic that we’re still here. People need some constants – it’s reassuring.” Executive Director of the Veolia Environmental Trust, Paul Taylor, said: “We support community and environmental projects across England and Wales. It is great to hear that this important one is now complete, just in time for the colder months. I hope the new boiler serves the centre for many years to come.”

The youth organisation is fundraising for a new building as their current one is falling into disrepair. The £15,000 target will cover the first phase, which is submitting a planning application to Southwark Council. At the £10,000 mark, DKHAP has just 18 days left to meet their target – or else the Crowdfunding platform will take down their campaign and they will lose all of the money pledged in the past month. I remember when we were struggling to break the £100 mark. Now we’re on £10,000. I just can’t believe it,” said Patrick. “I check the account from the moment

Their programme of fundraising events will culminate this weekend, with a gig at the Cherry Tree Pub on Friday 25 at 7.45pm and a Christmas Fare at the Adventure Playground on Saturday 26 from 12-6. “The kids have had lots of involvement in the fundraising,” said Patrick, “They’ve been busy making things, helping out, collecting money.” “They are so excited. They think that the new building’s definitely going to happen. It’s good to keep their optimism going. We’ve done well but we’re not there yet. Anyone thinking of sponsoring us just remember that any, little amount will help us.”

Before the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower departure for the New World in 2020, locals will be able to get into the spirit with a whole new world of festivities. The event, today, Thursday, November 4, begins at St Mary’s Church, with music by the David Idowu choir (at 6:30pm) and a lantern procession (at 7:30pm) through the churchyard to bless the memorial statue, where Mayflower Captain Christopher Jones is buried. The historic ship set sail for Plymouth -
and then Cape Cod - just a stone throw’s away where the Mayflower pub now stands. It carried English separatists now known to many as the Pilgrim Fathers - who had broken away from the Church of England, looking for a new life in the New World. After stopping off at Plymouth, they became the first permanent European settlers in America. Two special films about the Mayflower are screening (at 4pm and 8:30pm) in the atmospheric Sands Films cinema along with themed food and drinks. Celebrations continue at the Brunel Museum and garden from 7:45pm with free food donated by the Ship, the Mayflower, Piccalilly Caff, the Yellow House and the Finnish and Norwegian Churches. There will be a cash bar run by Midnight Apothecary.

A NEO-natal nurse who changed her shift pattern to ensure she could provide end of life care for a premature baby has been given a St Guy’s and St Thomas’ award. Raquel Martins Pina, a Senior Staff Nurse on the Intensive Care Unit at the Evelina London Children's Hospital, won the People’s Choice category at the annual Trust Awards on November 18. She was nominated for the award by baby Catherine’s mum, Imogen Durenkamp, in recognition of the exceptional care provided to her daughter. Catherine was born 25 days prematurely and passed away 48 days later on the unit. "The Neonatal Unit did absolutely everything they could to try to save Catherine but sadly there was no happy ending,” said Imogen, from St Albans. "Raquel looked after Catherine, my husband and me in our last three days together as a family. She could not do enough for us, even changing her shifts around so she could continue to care for Catherine right up to the end.

A FREE app to support Neighbourhood Watches by allowing people to share real time incidents on an interactive map has been launched.
The Southwark Neighbourhood Watch Association and Swedish community safety app Trygve, are pioneering a digital method of “local engagement to connect communities” within the borough. Trygve provides a digital platform where users can collaborate, empowering community members to support each other and work together to solve local issues and combat crime. Marcus Suitor, Secretary of Southwark Neighbourhood Watch Association, said: “Trygve is a terrific app that’s free and will surely benefit everyone in the area.” “We are hoping it enhances communication between members, but also encourages the younger members of the borough to play more of an active role in Neighbourhood Watch. “We hope everyone who lives and works in Southwark gets involved.” Users are able to communicate with each other and contribute to posted events, capturing ground-level intelligence as events unfold. There is also a personal safety alarm built into the app that alerts
and teams to be honoured for their achievements. “It was very emotional seeing Mark and Imogen Durenkamp again at the awards evening as I haven’t seen them since Catherine passed away,” said Raquel, who was presented with her award by Baroness Floella Benjamin OBE, Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London, “It’s wonderful to

Funding for charities
S A London Assembly Member I am privileged to see the amazing work of smaller charities in our communities every day.
It is a testament to our civic spirit here in Southwark that people give their time and money to help their neighbours out. There are so many different organisations working to make positive change on a range of issues in our area, from legal support to helping the homeless to raising our young people’s aspirations. An excellent example of the latter is the Damilola Taylor Trust. This month marks sixteen years since Damilola’s murder in Peckham. Since that tragedy the Damilola Taylor Trust has worked with young people in South East London to improve their life chances and instill the confidence and aspiration for them to lead healthy, happy lives and fulfil their potential. Charities like this have consistently stepped in and stepped up to help people in Southwark - filling in the gaps and picking up the pieces left by Government cuts. But the charity sector faces an uphill struggle. We are in a difficult climate in terms of securing charitable funding, and are also seeing increased demand for services. I recently hosted an event at City Hall for the Institute of Fundraising. The institute has over 525 organisational members who raise more than £9 billion for good causes every year. The ‘Achieving Great Fundraising in your Area’ event aimed to help small charities from across London to develop and strengthen their fundraising activities and secure sustainable incomes for the future. Peter Lewis, Chief Executive of The Institute of Fundraising, stated that as well as ensuring charities have the resources they need, the Institute also connects Londoners to the causes they want to support. A wide range of charities were in attendance and it was a chance for them to hear from fundraising experts, as well as receiving practical guidance to support their work. It is absolutely vital that charities on the front line have the resources they need, and I would encourage Southwark residents to get involved with a local charity.

Anood victory on Jamaica Road
I WOULD like to Thank Cllr Anood Al-Samerai for her campaign to get the yellow cross sin bins on Jamaica Road, (‘A Victory - Yellow-box junctions to be installed Work to resurface the road cancelled, Southwark News, November 17, 2016).
She walked all around the Four Squares Estate in Bermondsey on a really cold night to collect signatures. The traffic around Drummond, Clement’s and Southwark Park Roads has been absolutely awful. What with the fumes and the hooter testing, plus the odd swear words (can’t blame the drivers), it is about time the Mayor of London did something. Alternative route signs at Great Dover Street and Tower Bridge Road junctions should be put up to direct traffic needing to go Greenwich, Deptford, Lewisham and Kent etc to stay on the Old Kent Road. Thank you Anood. Pat Duke, Bermondsey

His father, John James Ruskin was a Wine and Sherry Merchant not a ‘cherry merchant’. Ruskin's autobiography is Praeterita not ‘Praeteria’. He died aged 80 on 20th January 1900 not ‘aged 90’. Whilst mentioning eminent persons known to Ruskin his friendships with Robert Browning, the poet, and the artist Samuel Prout, both former Camberwell parish residents would have been more appropriate, than his acquaintanceships with Tennyson, etc. I am not aware of any water colour paintings by Ruskin in the Dulwich Picture Gallery, if there are any, they are not currently on display? The East window was almost entirely designed by Edmund Oldfield (Ruskin's own design being in the style of Michael Angelo and not used) and can be seen in St Giles Church, Camberwell not St Gilles's Church. In all, I found the article poorly written and would recommend that as well as spell check, actual proof reading is necessary, see ‘waiters’ for waters! And finally why was the piece in a section called ‘What's on’? There is no mention that anything related to him is? Oh me, I have just looked at your website and on there you call him ‘Jon’. Michele Burford, Dulwich
My pleasure quickly turned to incredulity as I realised the amount of errors in this relatively short article by Owen Sheppard,
IT IS not a secret that Care Quality Care inspectors have said that a busy A&E is not the right environment for mental health patients.
Never forget
PLEASE DO pass on my thanks to all those who showed their respect in the many acts of Remembrance across Southwark.
It was especially poignant to see many children join us at West Lane, with their schools formally represented and the children laying wreaths. It is heartening to have so many schools, teachers and parents involved and ensuring the sacrifice is not just remembered but honoured today. Neil Coyle, MP for Bermondsey & Old Southwark
I WAS delighted that your publication deemed Professor John Ruskin M.A. L.L.D, F.G.S, worthy of a feature in Southwark News 27th October 2016
It all started with A&E closure
You do not have to be a brain specialist to understand this. I know King’s are hoping to find some space soon for mental health patients. But for how many? I can assure you this will not be the answer for the future, when all the forecasts are that mental health will increase! I have to also remind you that the six places of safety that South London & Maudsley (Slam) are creating, though excellent, are for persons sectioned under 136! In other words, for somewhere the police can take them for their safety under 136. The reality is there used to be a place of safety for one person in each of the four boroughs. A total of four. There will now be one place of safety for six persons to cover the four boroughs at the Maudsley in Southwark! Hardly an explosion! The worry the police have, if there is not a place of safety available, then the patient will still have to be held for their safety in a police cell, car or van. Having two extra berths covering the four boroughs will not make that much difference! You will not find me finding fault with the many persons trying to improve services for the mentally ill! But there are still big problems, which we are a long way off improving. I know it is an old chestnut, but it was the Maudsley that closed the A&E, also an older persons ward and the Felix Post Day Centre. The Maudsley is the only place where space is available. They are the ones that have caused so many problems, by their closures! Finally, it is not acceptable that nearly all the wards in King’s are shared by sick patients and the mentally ill. It is unfair on the sick, unfair on the mentally ill, and unfair on the nurses who are expected to cope with this! Tom White, Southwark Pensioners’ Action Group

W
olf – Sister Productions are again hosted by The Rose Playhouse for their take on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, setting it in a modern refugee camp, writes Rosie O’Connell...
Part of Wolf – Sisters remit is to create ‘full blooded roles for women’ and that they do well, shifting the sex of Benvolio and Friar Lawrence. However, in an attempt to create a more modern thinking Juliet, played by Rhiannon Sommers, we are left with a cynicism and pragmatism that feels not only out of character but also unbelievable. Our Romeo (James G Nunn) is presented as a hapless, confrontational lad and when pitted against our new reasonable Juliet the spark in the ‘greatest love story ever told’ loses its trigger. This wiser, rational Juliet deserves more than the traditional hot-headed, doomed naïveté of Romeo for an audience to believe she will love and then die for him. The Rose Playhouse itself is an

incredible space, saturated with history and it is used well. While the performance space is small to say the least, there is a depth brought from the use of the somewhat cavernous space that the old Rose Theatre occupied. With tents and debris scattered the idea of a refugee camp is there, but by
using Shakespeare’s words and little opportunity for explanatory visuals the concept is left somewhat underdeveloped, and without any prior knowledge of the production’s intentions, could as easily be mistaken for Glastonbury. Though it delivers a solid overall performance from the company, it is
at times a little exaggerated, detracting from the gravity of the tragedy. That paired with the unfledged refugee camp, this production ends up feeling simultaneously overwhelming and underwhelming. The Rose Playhouse, Bankside, 56 Park Street, SE1 9AR

T
he son of a milkman who died when he was a child, Fred Chick at times lived in Camberwell and Walworth before being sent off to war, writes Alex Yeates...
Born in April 1892 in St George’s Hanover Square, Chick started his working life at the age of six at the Britten Street Old and New Workhouse in Chelsea, with his two brothers and sister. Fatherless and without a choice, the Chicks endured the harsh conditions of the workhouse lest they became destitute. By the turn of the century, Fred had managed to get south of the river, and in 1911 was working for an optical lens company and living in Christ College Working Boys Home in Camberwell Road. On November 28 1915, over a year since the start of the First World War, Fred married Florence Gordair at St Stephens Parish Church, before settling down at 75 Mann Street, Walworth. As the war raged on in continental Europe, he enlisted in the army, joining the Queen’s Own Royal West Kent Hussars. He was part of a draft to France in the summer of 1916 to await posting to an infantry battalion. Fred joined the Middlesex Regiment, who were part of 24 Division, 73 Brigade who had been in heavy engagement in front of Guillemont on August 18 1916, where they suffered 340 casualties. Fred joined as reinforcements. The war diary for the 13 Middlesex records: “27 August 1916 – Weather very bad, Battalion inspected by General Capper, general training throughout the 28/29 August “30 August 1916 – Marched to Mametz met by guides of the 4 Suffolk’s, tea served and then took over the trenches Tea Trench, Worcester Trench, Pont Street and Orchard Trench at 0730hrs. “31 August 1916 – Trenches knee deep in mud and blocked by troops at 8:30am enemy bombardment commenced on all trenches increasing until 2pm when an attack was launched. “B Coy were driven out of Tea Trench whilst A Coy were pushed back to MacDougal Communication Trench and Pont Street. “The enemy advanced to Orchard Street where they were stopped by 2/Lt Green and 12 men of D Coy with a Lewis Gun, they were forced to retire, this they did in good order holding up the enemy all the way until support could be brought up. “Battalion withdrew to Carlton Street; gas shells fell throughout the night.” During August the casualties for the battalion were nine officers killed, seventeen wounded; 88 killed in other ranks, 146 missing and 328 being wounded, with Fred Chick among them. The Army Register of Soldiers Effects says that £2, 4 shilling and a tuppence were given to his wife, Florence in January 1918. Despite being registered as missing, his body was eventually recovered along with a fellow soldier in his unit. His final resting place is in the Caterpillar Valley Cemetery, outside the village of Longueval in France.

New nights at Norris & Knight NORRIS & KNIGHT 118 FOREST HILL ROAD, EAST DULWICH, SE22 0RS 0203 663 2659
NORRIS & KNIGHT have been running as a daytime cafe, much admired by its regulars, for some time now but in recent times have branched out into being an evening tapas bar on Friday and Saturdays which is already creating a stir on social media, writes Michael Holland...
I met Julia there on a cold, damp Saturday after she had been cold and damp all afternoon watching her cold, damp football team get beaten by a hot winner, so she was very ready for the Tarima Monastrell, a Spanish red that was full of warmth, and had Christmassy flavours like plum and clove underlying the fruity berry aromas coming from the glass. A bowl of Gordal Olives were set between us for sharing; huge, green beasts bursting with flavours from the marinade ranging from anchovy, chilli, herbs and the sea, and just perfect for chatting football (My team won with a late winner), offspring, fundraising, research and people she professes not to like. With the wine, the olives and being placed at a window that was also next to a radiator things were warming up nicely. Norris & Knight is rather a bijou place with quite a few people crammed in although without anyone being uncomfortable. There is some music playing but it is inconsequential to what is going on as this is a place where people come to talk, to discuss, to catch up with friends. The staff flit about with plates and bottles quietly and effectively between the tables and the light hum of conversation. After a while a Fried Goat’s Cheese with Chargrilled Courgette, Almonds and Honey was placed on the table and looked quite amazing on its bed of leaf. When cutting into it the knife found a crisp exterior of sourdough breadcrumbs and caramelised honey but quickly eased its way through to sink into the soft, creamy cheese inside. It was a winner. While I heard where my meagre donation to Julia’s crowdfunding project was going a plate of Escalavida was laid before us: Catalan style roasted vegetables, a colourful melange of tender
vegetables laying like sated bodies on the lightly toasted bread. Yes, you could pull out the individual tastes, but it was the way the vegetables had infused with each other so well that the whole dish screamed Spain! By now there was just one table for two left vacant, plus all outside seating rendered unusable by the weather. The music, the gentle chatter and the general notes of a
small cafe like the Escalavida melded into one agreeable sound. Next to be served was Morcilla Iberico, delicious little sandcastles of Spanish black pudding with fried quails’ eggs on top. The pork, mixed with rice, was succulent and the accompanying Piquillo Peppers made this the outstanding dish of the evening. I would have liked my eggs with the yolk a little runny, but I’m
guessing that we had them served the traditional way. There was only dish left to complete our night at Norris & Knight and Carlos, our host for the evening, lured me straight in with his recommendation of Salted Caramel Chocolate Fudge Brownie with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream that the menu said was made with eggs from their own chickens. The Brownie was okay but the ice cream had something extra that lifted it above anything shop bought. Julia, saying that she always had a chocolate dessert, wanted to try something different so chose the Affogato - a simple dessert of ice cream in a shot of fresh espresso. Alas, its newness to my companion meant she began eating the ice cream and drinking the coffee separately until she realised that every customer was looking at her aghast and inwardly tutting. ‘You need to pour the coffee over the ice cream, Dear,’ advised a kindly lady on the next table.
‘Hmm,’ she said, ‘That’s much better now!’ The Norris & Knight new venture already looks like a success so I think there may be more tapas nights added to the two they do now.

Your opportunity to make a significant contribution to the local NHS in Southwark
Governing Body Lay Member role
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are statutory bodies responsible for commissioning health services. They work with patients, health professionals, community groups and the local authority to improve health and health services locally.
NHS Southwark CCG has an exciting opportunity for three new lay members to join our Governing Body and play an important role in the work of the CCG.
Lay members bring different perspectives to the CCG Governing Body, drawn from their varied experiences, professional backgrounds and previous vocational roles. Lay members work as part of the CCG’s Governing Body to help shape the CCG’s work and assist the organisation’s consideration of key issues and opportunities.
Lay members also act to ensure that their colleagues on the CCG Governing Body – and in the organisation in general – consider a range of views across the whole of its business, and where decisions are made, that they are done so on the basis of evidence and sound reasoning. Lay members should understand good organisational governance and act to ensure it is adhered to at all times by the CCG.
At present we have four lay member positions on our Governing Body, with three of these roles now open to applications. The lay member we have in post was appointed in December 2015 with a portfolio covering patient and public involvement. These roles are similar to Non-Executive directors in industry, holding the directors and officers of the business to account.
Our new lay members will have portfolios covering aspects of governance, assurance, quality and performance. We are looking for one of the appointees to chair the CCG’s Audit Committee and take on a specific responsibility for CCG governance. Lay members with portfolios covering governance, assurance, quality and performance
Time commitment: 2.5 days per month. Remuneration: £7,882 per annum for Lay Member role. £13,851 per annum for Lay Member Chair of Audit Committee / CCG governance role.
We are looking to recruit Lay Members with expertise and experience in the fields of governance, assurance, quality and performance to serve as members of the CCG’s Governing Body. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that in all aspects of our business the CCG maintains effective governance and makes the best possible decisions for patients and service users. You’ll also see that the CCG acts on information to improve the quality of services we commission.
You will also be involved in joint arrangements across the six South East London Clinical Commissioning Groups, and participate in Governing Body and other meetings.
Applicants will be able to demonstrate a special interest in Southwark, for example, living or working in the area or by being closely involved in projects and other activities in the borough. Some time commitment may be required in the evenings and there will be some travel within the CCG boundary and occasionally further afield. This post is a three year appointment, commencing in early 2017. The Applicant Information Pack for the Lay Member role is available on the vacancies page of Southwark CCG’s website: http://www.southwarkccg.nhs.uk/news-and-publications/publications/vacancies/Pages/default.aspx.
Please check that you are eligible to apply – see application pack, as certain restrictions are in place if you hold some other public office positions. This is covered in the pack.
For an informal discussion about either role, please contact Andrew Bland, Chief Officer of Southwark CCG via email to andrewbland@nhs.net or by telephone to 0207 525 7414 or to Malcolm Hines, Deputy Chief Officer and Chief Financial Officer via email to malcolm.hines@nhs.net or 0207 525 0403. Apply for the Lay Member roles by following this link: www.jobs.nhs.uk entering reference 487-SOU60
Closing date for applications on NHS Jobs is 16 December 2016. Interviews will be held in January 2017.

BERMONDSEY POSTMAN Jimmy Haughney hopes to deliver the performance of his life next month, when he steps out under the lights in one of the country’s biggest boxing competitions.
The 38-year-old Fisher amateur boxing product will travel down to Crawley in West Sussex on Saturday, December 3 to compete in the televised Queensbury Boxing League competition. After never realising his dream to ply his trade in the professional ranks, Haughney is hoping appearing on the Queensbury card will go some way to fulfilling his
dream to know how it feels to box on the big stage. Haughney will face Croydon’s Steve Albone in a lightmiddleweight showdown on the undercard of the promotion’s big season finale at the K2 arena, and after watching Albone’s debut victory in the competition back in October, the Bermondsey pugilist is confident he’s got what it takes to return with the win. Haughney said: “I watched Steve’s last fight on the show and he’s very similar in style to me, but I’ve seen a number of flaws in his game which I’m hoping to expose. “The league is without a doubt the biggest platform I’ll have ever competed on, and after seeing the shows on TV and watching them live, I can’t wait to box now” Despite his enthusiasm to lace the

gloves up for his December contest, Haughney has been training through the pain barrier over the past month which has hindered his build-up to the big fight. He explained: “I’ve had to deal with a shoulder injury in training which has hampered my preparations, but there is no gain without pain in boxing so I’ve just had to get on with it” “Apart from the injury niggles I’ve been smashing my training targets and feel in really great shape, so I can’t wait to box now and face Albone in the ring” Haughney’s collision with Albone will take place on Saturday, December 3 at the K2 arena in Crawley, West Sussex. For tickets to the event contact Jimmy on 07525747504
The home side were already a goal down when Bradley was shown a second yellow card in the 44th minute despite appearing to win the ball as Andres Felipe Losada Tobon threatened to add a second. Glebe missed the resulting penalty – after midfielder Harry gamble had gone in goal – but scored twice after the break to seal a Southern Counties East Football League First Division win and leave Bradley fuming. He said: “I’m really disappointed, but very proud of my players having gone down to ten men in the first half and already one-nil down. It’s very disappointing but I (told) the players how proud I was tonight. I think they’ve been superb really to keep going, especially when we conceded two early goals in the second half. It was really difficult but so easy for us to throw the towel in at that point. “I’m proud of the performance but disappointed with the decisions by the referee tonight. I don’t think he helped at all. The referee looked a little bit out of his depth.” “It’s a shocking decision from my point of view. The fact he’s given a penalty…he was a long way from play, he didn’t take any guidance from the linesman. It would’ve been wise of him to take a breath and ask the linesman if he thought it was something there, but the keeper had the ball in his hand. “There wasn’t really an appeal from even the sideline, let alone the players on the park. It’s such a bad decision and such a crucial decision at that particular moment in time. “James is foolish to get booked in the first place but to get a second yellow when it's not even a foul and to give a penalty as well to boot, that is a major, major bad decision.” Stansfeld/Eltham Palace remain in the bottom five in the table after collecting sixteen points from as many games. Stansfeld 1st team’s game at top-ofthe-table Peckham Town was abandoned at the weekend, while the Reserves lost 6-2 at home to Long Lane, with Harry Gamble and Freddie Hamlin on the scoresheet.
Hamlet continue league charge By John Kelly

DULWICH HAMLET kept pace with the lead group in the Isthmian League Premier Division with two wins in four days this week. On
Tuesday
night
Hamlet
avenged a defeat earlier in the season when they beat Harrow Borough 2-0 at Earlsmead. The away side survived a few early scares before taking the lead in the 23rd minute when Dumebi Dumaka flicked the ball in behind the Harrow defence to Ibra Sekajja for a clinical finish. It took just two minutes for
Gavin Rose’s side to extend their lead, Ashley Carew picking out Vas Karagiannis before the winger beat Luke Williams with a low drive. On Saturday, there were more fans in attendance to see Dulwich Hamlet’s 4-1 win over Worthing than there were in the League Two fixtures involving Accrington
Stanley, Barnet and Morecambe. The club’s annual ‘Pay what you like game’ was a big success, with 2,032 fans packing into Hamlet’s Champion Hill stadium. Worthing made the brighter start, but Dulwich went ahead against the run of play in the 30th minute Dumaka poked home from close range.
Karagiannis doubled the lead before the break before the home side added a third in the 53rd minute when Marc Weatherstone powered home Carew’s corner. Worthing pulled a goal back through Omar Bugiel, but Dulwich completed the rout when Carew sublimely curled a free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards.

MILLWALL PREMIER LEAGUE KICKS KITTED OUT
L
ast week, Millwall Community Trust donated old Millwall football kits to local young people who attend the Millwall Premier League Kicks project.
The programme which targets young people aged from 8 to 19 throughout Lewisham and Southwark, will see in excess of 50 young people benefit from receiving a kit as a reward for regular attendance and positive behaviour. The sessions are delivered on a weekly basis by qualified coaches at Millwall Community Trust. At the beginning of the 2016/17 football season, Millwall Football Club and Errea unveiled their unique striped design which replicated the kit worn by the Millwall side which went on a record-breaking 59 home league games without defeat at The Den half a century ago. Millwall Premier League Kicks now also play in the
new Errea Millwall playing stripe for their representative matches against other professional football clubs that also deliver the Premier League Kicks programme. Premier League Kicks in 2006 and is one of the Premier League's flagship community programmes, joint funded by Sport England with the aim of using football to bring communities together. There are now 56 Premier League and Football League clubs delivering the programme across the country. The success of Kicks is highlighted by the fact the programme has engaged with in excess of 150,000 young people over the last 10 years. Millwall began their Kicks journey in January 2007 with the first selected venue being the Damilola Taylor Centre in Peckham. The session still runs today, nine years on from its beginning and remains a very popular provision for the young people of Peckham. Being
the first ever Millwall Kicks session meant that it would only be logical that the DTC venue benefit from this free kit opportunity. Another selected venue by the Kicks programme was the Goldsmiths Community Centre in based in Catford, Lewisham. The session has grown from strength to strength over the past few months and has seen young people who attend the session treated to two football tournaments during the summer period as well as a stadium tour of The Emirates, the home of Arsenal FC. Coaches at the session Chan Quan and Thang Nguyen commented: “The speed of the growth of the session since the session started back up has been amazing. The talent alone has blown us away but the commitment to the session is what has really impressed us. The young people are always on time and are always willing to learn which makes our jobs easier. They make the work we do enjoyable.”
Prokash Nemwan, one of the participants at the Goldsmiths sessions said: “Since Millwall came back to the Goldsmiths we’ve had sessions every week which have helped us improve as players and we’ve been taken across London for tournaments against other Kicks clubs. The Kicks session helps keep us busy and we can have fun together with friends in the area. It was great to be given kit as we can wear them to our sessions which makes it look more professional.” The other sessions that were lucky enough to receive kit through the Premier League Kicks programme were the Friday Night Kicks at the Millwall Community Trust Lions Centre which has been running for nine years and Cossall Park which has been ongoing for more than a year now. Gary Otim, Kicks community development officer at Millwall Community Trust commented: “Having once been a participant
on the Millwall Kicks programme I can recall when we were given our own Millwall Kicks tops. It was such a great feeling to be able to wear a top that had the Millwall lion on it. We considered giving the old kits away but after discussing the matter with our coaches decided that sharing out the kits between our sessions would be us making best use of them whilst benefiting the young people who have played a major part in the work we try to do within our local community.” Millwall Community Trust will continue provide a wide range of weekly football sessions across the boroughs of Southwark and Lewisham under the Premier League Kicks programme.

EXCLUSIVE

BYRON WEBSTER feels Bolton Wanderers are the benchmark Millwall need to reach if they are to challenge for promotion this season.
Bolton, with Mark Beevers again outstanding, handed Millwall their first defeat away from home in the league since October 1 when they defeated the Lions 2-0 at The Macron Stadium last Saturday. The strength of Bolton’s squad, which contains players with Premier League and Championship experience, was illustrated when Phil Parkinson could find no place in his match-day squad for Chris Taylor, who was an important player for Millwall last season. “They’re a good team, we can’t take anything away from them,” Webster said. “We seemed to huff and puff and not really get anywhere. It was a frustrating game. “We had our game plan but we didn’t really execute it. “We’ve been on a good run and the games are coming thick and fast so we can’t get down in the dumps, we just move on from it. “I was speaking to Beevs afterwards, Tayls didn’t even make the bench. They’ve got such a big squad. Players who have played Premiership, not just Championship. “We know where we are as a team, we know what we need to do to get to their level and we’ll keep on working to get there.” The strength of Millwall’s squad has been tested recently after injuries to Steve Morison and Shaun Hutchinson. Lee Gregory departed in the first half at Bolton, meaning Harry Smith, in just his second Football League game, was leading the line with support from Fred Onyedinma. Webster acknowledges Gregory and Morison are key players to have out, but points to youngsters like Mahlon Romeo who are showing they deserve

PHIL PARKINSON is becoming something of a bogey manager for Millwall.

Southwark News, Thursday November 24 2016
Defender believes Bolton are the side Millwall must match
their opportunity. He said: “Gregs is a big player for us, like Moro, so missing those two is difficult, they were so pivotal for us last year. It’s a big problem. But Harry’s come in and done alright and Fred’s not new to that formation. In my opinion he’s very dangerous, when he gets in behind you don’t want, as a defender, to be facing his pace and strength. “A lot’s been made of the youngsters
and they’ve come in and done well. But no one really mentions Mahlon who’s still a young lad, each week he performs. “As a youngster, and with every player, there’s pressure but you put the pressure on yourself. You go out there to give your all. “Everyone expects there are going to be mistakes, but it’s how you react to them. Maybe more experienced players shrug it off but we need that
from the younger players. “They’re in there and they deserve to be in there because the manager has picked them. They need to understand that, and they have. It was one game against Bolton, but we’ll keep going.” This weekend Webster will come against the manager who gave him his professional senior debut, and he sees similarities between when he started out and Millwall’s current situation. “Chris Brass was manager at York,
and he came off injured,” Webster recalled. “Funnily enough he took over recently at Bury so I’ll see him on Saturday. “When I played then it was like playing with your mates, there were so many youngsters. It’s a bit like here now, almost like an U23s game. “But there’s nothing for them to fear, only a few old ugly ones who might shout at them! They just need to go out and enjoy it.”
the Lions it’s likely the last word this season will remain with Parkinson. Bolton look certainties to go up automatically. In truth, this was a little more emphatic than Neil Harris suggested afterwards, when he said Millwall should have come away with a nil-nil draw. It might be a little cruel to say he got Millwall’s nil right. They had one attempt on target in 90 minutes and didn’t really properly threaten until the last ten minutes when Aiden O’Brien screwed a shot off target from David Worrall’s knockdown and Harry Smith sent a tame header wide. There was never really a point when Millwall looked like they would win this game. The fear was always that they are not
the same side without Steve Morison. So much of their attacking play goes through him, and, arguably, he was missed in his defensive set-piece role when Tom Thorpe thumped a header from Jay Spearing’s corner past Jordan Archer to make it 2-0 in the 57th minute. Spearing was superb in this game, and maybe a future template for Ben Thompson. He has the same build and energy, and the hope is Thompson will eventually develop the ability to dictate the play in the way the former Liverpool midfielder did on Saturday. In front of Spearing Parkinson had stationed Josh Vela, with Zach Clough and Sammy Ameobi quick and elusive threats out wide but never satisfied to remain there as they roamed and made it more difficult for the away side to
pick them up. Spearing also read the game superbly to twice in the first half run beyond the attacking trident in front of him. First, there was a hint of handball when Byron Webster blocked his shot from ten yards, before the ball dropped to Vela on the edge of the box and he fired a half-volley into the corner beyond Archer’s reach. And before half-time, after Shaun Williams had been dispossessed in midfield, Spearing looped a header off the crossbar from Clough’s cross. Before that Clough had tested Archer with a low shot and Millwall were relieved to see the offside flag go up after Liam Trotter had prodded home the rebound. With Lee Gregory having had to go off in the 38th minute with a back
spasm, Millwall relied on an inexperienced front pair of Smith and Fred Onyedinma to try to rescue the game, but they never really troubled a defence led again by Mark Beevers. This side has shown they can take lessons on board, and it has been two painful ones received from Bolton this season.

MILLWALL 49
Winger heads back to where it all began ten years ago this month
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
DAVID WORRALL’S route to making his senior professional debut seems out of time in these days of smooth academy progressions for young players.
A decade ago, in the space of less than a year, he went from kicking a ball around with his mates as a fifteen-yearold to pulling on the Bury jersey at Gigg Lane and on the back of that earning a move to Championship West Brom. That switch didn’t work out – he was only sixteen when he went there and had moved away from home for the first time – and after spells at Accrington Stanley and Shrewsbury he was back where it had begun in November 2006. It’s the club where he has spent the biggest chunk of his career – having played 178 games for the Shakers – and one he will be reacquainted with this weekend when Millwall travel north to meet their League One rivals. Worrall recalls those whirlwind early days.
“I came from Curzon Ashton (in the Northern Football League) and had a couple of mates who played for Bury and they said ‘come along’ and that was that. “It was Under-15s, 16s first and then it all happened very quickly. My debut was against Bristol Rovers, I came on in the last 10 minutes. We lost 2-0 but it was a great experience for me. “Obviously I didn’t expect it (so soon after) playing football for my local team. Going from that to being pushed all the way through. “I was sixteen. It was Chris Casper who was the manager at the time. He had been my youth boss before he got the first-team job. I trained with them one day and I did well and he told me I’d be involved on the bench. “I loved it at Bury. I’ve seen it change massively. We were in League Two at the time, always mid-table or lower half. I had one game and moved on, played ten minutes and then West Brom bought me! “I didn’t have a chance to take it all in, I just had to get on with it. I had to move, I lived in digs with a very nice family and I still see and speak to them now.
“I went on loan to Shrewsbury and played very well, we beat Bury in the play-off semi-final (in 2009). The season after I got a phone call from Bury and they asked me if I wanted to come back on loan so I said ‘yeah’. “West Brom agreed to it and halfway through the season they told me I wouldn’t be getting a new contract. Bury said they’d love to take me so I went back permanently. It was an easy decision. “I got injured that season and we just missed out on the play-offs. In my first full season back there we got promoted. It was huge, my first promotion. “It’s one of those clubs that’s real family. I know all the staff there still, the people who work in the background cleaning the kits. It is a great club.” Worrall revealed Bury wanted to sign him for a third time last summer, but the lure of Millwall was too much when he decided to leave Southend. “I had the chance to go back over Millwall but I wanted something different and I’m not ready to move back up north yet,” he explained.
“If it had been another club and not Millwall, then I probably would have gone. I was there for a number of years, I was captain four or five times and that was massive, especially for my family. “It’s a team I still support a bit, I always look for their scores.” Worrall had been out of the Millwall side recently with Fred Onyedinma ahead of him in Neil Harris' plans. But he regained his place against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night with the Lions' squad stretched by injury. He is desperate for a chance this
weekend, but admits if he manages to get his second goal for his current club he probably won’t celebrate. “I scored against them a few seasons ago and I didn’t celebrate. I have a lot of respect for the football club and for the fans. “Last season the fans were unbelievable to me there, they gave me a great reception. “But I will be doing everything to score, I’ve got a great record against them in terms of my winning percentage so I want to keep that going definitely.”

Robinson was back playing at The Den for the first time since he left the club in January 2015, but he would likely still be pulling on a Millwall shirt had Ian Holloway departed and Neil Harris been appointed a few months earlier that year. This was just the third time Millwall had been kept scoreless in the league since April. Perhaps more significant, though, and more worrying, it was their second blank in succession after last Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Bolton. Harris expressed surprise the statistics said Millwall had thirteen efforts on goal and eight on target. You could understand why and it certainly didn’t feel as if the hosts had spent 90 minutes peppering their opponents’ goal. Apart from a shot from a tight angle inside the box from Shane Ferguson that James Shea had to get down low to save in the first half, it was difficult to recall a moment when the goalkeeper was truly troubled. There was always the feeling that Millwall rely too much on Steve Morison. He played 57 times last season and had already played 20 times and scored nine goals in this campaign before he injured his knee in the FA Cup tie against Southend. So much goes through him and so much depends on his presence up front. Even for those games that he was left on the bench he was summoned to get his side out of trouble. Gillingham in the Checkatrade Trophy this season immediately springs to mind. Lee Gregory didn’t make the starting line-up either after a back spasm forced him off at Bolton. Harris made the point afterwards that Millwall had crossed the ball 20 times into AFC Wimbledon’s box but didn’t have the numbers there to take advantage or stretch the away defence. That was the second highest number of crosses they have managed this season, and the fact that the highest was against Bristol Rovers is relevant to this context. In three instances in that game it was Gregory’s positioning and guile that proved decisive as he provided two assists and scored in a 4-0 win, all actions that happened in the penalty area. As with Bristol, the Dons were also reduced to ten men when Jon Meades fouled substitute Fred Onyedinma to earn a second yellow card in the 74th minute, but Milwall this time couldn’t find a way through. Later Dons boss Neal Ardley said his side have a plan to put into action when they go down to ten men. It worked but Millwall didn’t exactly have the attacking nous to test it to breaking point. Harris said he encouraged his team to up the number of crosses they get into the box, but in games like this it feels there is something more needed, something different to unlock a defence that knows what exactly the opposition is going to do. Those tactics were fine by Robinson and he certainly knew what to expect. He was in the right place when Ferguson

crossed low in the first half to clear from close to his own goal line. Later he headed away when the ball drifted close to the crossbar but he had the kind of comfortable night he certainly wouldn’t have had had Millwall been able to call upon their first-choice strike force.
One moment in the first half illustrated the lack of cohesion and understanding in Millwall’s attacking third. When Harry Smith nodded down a long ball expecting Aiden O’Brien to be there O’Brien was standing 20 yards away and Ferguson on the left touchline.
Smith gestured to his strike partner suggesting he should have read his intentions, provoking O’Brien to shout furiously back. The problem for Millwall was that attacking players were too far apart to combine with each other and the wide men Ferguson and David

STEVE MORISON is still a few weeks away from a return to Millwall’s first team.
Lee Gregory is a doubt after missing out against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night, while Neil Harris was hopeful centre-back Shaun Hutchinson would make a return from a hamstring problem. Sid Nelson is also close to a return after a thigh strain. Millwall won both games against Bury last season. Shaun Williams’ strike was enough to claim three points at The Den before Chris Taylor’s double and a Steve Morison goal gave the Lions a 31 win at Gigg Lane in May.

Worrall never really got involved in the centre of the pitch. This was a first ever league meeting between the sides, and more than 1,000 fans in the away end were keen to tell their hosts how far they had come in the past nine years. Lions captain Tony Craig
wrote in his programme notes that their rise would be too unbelievable a script for a movie and if there had been any scriptwriters at The Den to chronicle their latest progress they might have left at half-time. It was a poor and disjointed game and
Ardley admitted it wasn’t one that would have been pleasing on the eye. The best chances came from set-pieces and it took over an hour for the contest to find any kind of spark. When Meades went through Worrall on the right touchline it prompted an animated
response from Harris in his technical area as he looked to the referee to take action. Finally both sides were eager to make up for the lethargy and the lack of imagination that had gone before. Shaun Williams and Lyle Taylor had the best chances of a dull first half but

both lifted efforts well over. With 61 minutes gone, Worrall saw his free-kick from 20 yards saved at the near post by Shea, before Dominic Poleon raced away on the counter-attack but instead of putting the ball in front of Taylor his pass went behind his teammate and the opportunity was gone. Craig bravely blocked Tom Elliott’s shot before Ben Thompson latched onto Worrall’s header but didn’t get enough on his effort from fifteen yards as Shea saved. At the other end right-back Barry Fuller tested Jordan Archer from 30 yards and after the goalkeeper palmed away Craig had to clear the danger. Onyedinma, who had to come on for O’Brien in the 67th minute, could only prod wide when he reached a bouncing ball before Shea, before the attacker skipped past Meades and the defender was sent off. Even a man down, though, Ardley’s side weren’t afraid to commit players forward. Substitute Tom Beere added extra energy. He was given space to shoot from 30 yards but Archer was comfortably behind it. Millwall’s lack of attacking composure was summed up when Onyedinma broke and found Mahlon Romeo on the right but, with Smith waiting six yards out, the defender sliced his cross into the Cold Blow Lane end to groans all around the stadium. With two minutes to go Worrall found Smith with a cross from the right but, leaning back, the striker couldn’t get enough on his header to beat Shea. Byron Webster had one final chance to break the deadlock but he headed Worrall’s corner over. Perhaps Morison and Gregory would have made the difference. Gregory could be back for the trip to Bury this weekend, but it’ll be well into December before Morison makes a return. Millwall mustn’t slip too far behind the top six in the meantime

MILLWALL BOSS Neil Harris has hinted he will go for experience in January’s transfer window, after Tuesday night’s scoreless draw with AFC Wimbledon emphasised the lack of attacking depth in the squad. Harris wants to recruit at least two players, and acknowledged recent injuries to Shaun Hutchinson and Steve Morison have revealed where the squad might need reinforcements.
Lee Gregory also failed to recover from the back spasm that forced him off against Bolton last Saturday in time to face the Dons. Harris paired Harry Smith and Aiden O’Brien up front on Tuesday, before bringing on Fred Onyedinma in the second half. With no loan windows this season the pressure is on to get it right. “Injuries highlight areas that we might be light on,” Harris said. “Even between now and January things could change with players being back fit or you might be lacking cover somewhere else. “Without that loan window there is always the danger you lose two strikers, two centre-halves, two left-
backs – you’re going to be light at some stages in positions. “As a club we use our youth policy really well, we give people opportunities, the Checkatrade Trophy being an example. And we had six players under the age of 23 at Bolton last weekend, that’s testament to our policy. “Sometimes you do need that little bit of experience. We’ll certainly strengthen in January, but in terms of specific positions we’re looking at all over the park for people that can make us better. “It all depends on a player’s availability and whether they suit our style of play. “I wouldn’t rule anybody out in any

age group. “We have a youthful group and tried to adjust that slightly in the summer bringing in 25-, 26-yearolds with experience. “We have to recognise that fact that we are a young group and a little bit of leadership and knowhow can help.” Millwall have been monitoring the progress of Everton’s nineteen-yearold midfielder Liam Walsh, but are unlikely to make a move for him in January. The Lions are set to take Matt Briggs – a highly rated winger who plays for Dorking in the Combined Counties League – on trial in the coming weeks.
The Lions dropped two points at home against AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night, and are four points off the top six. Millwall were missing Steve Morison and Lee Gregory for that clash, and Harry Smith, Aiden O’Brien and Fred Onyedinma couldn’t find a breakthrough against their south London rivals. Webster sees a big future for Smith, if he follows the example of the likes of Mahlon Romeo and Ben Thompson. Webster said: “Moro has got a saying: you don’t get too high and you don’t get too low, you stay in the middle. That’s a lot easier said than done sometimes but Harry’s got a manager who was a very talented striker who can guide him. “He’s got Gregs and Moro there to help him as well. “In football there are a lot of people who give you praise but as soon as you mess up there are people who can’t wait to knock you down. “He just has to keep his head like the rest of the young ones and look at the likes of Mahlon and Fred who have come on and done well this year, Aiden and Thommo as well. “He needs to look at them, listen and he’ll have a good career. “The group has always been good, this year, last year, we’ve got a good group of lads. Sometimes good lads don’t get what they deserve and we need to have that nasty side to us and be horrible. “That’s something we’re learning about and we’ll kick on.” Meanwhile, Webster laughed off the latest speculation over his future after Bolton and Sheffield United were last week linked with a move for him in January. He joked: “I think ‘happy days’, it’s better than people not talking about me!” THE RECYCLED PAPER CONTENT OF UK NEWSPAPERS IN 2014 WAS 83.5%
