COPS DIG AT BOMB SUSPECT FLAT TUBE TERROR SUSPECT
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
THE FAILED bomber of North Greenwich tube station may have
lived in Bermondsey, as police “execute a search warrant” and erected a forensic tent in a garden on the Abbeyfield Estate. Officers have been on site in Abbeyfield
Road since last Friday according to neighbours, with a police presence being maintained outside 24/7 while they search the area. On October 21 a 19-year-old man was
tasered and arrested under the Terrorism Act in north London following the discovery of a “suspicious item on a tube” the day before.

Editorial
Body cameras are an unfortunate, necessary measure
I
T IS a sad but effective and essential measure to issue security staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital with body cameras.
With over 2 million people treated at the Trust each year, the scale of the recorded incidents might not be massive, but there has been a sharp increase and any attack on nurses and staff trying to treat and often save lives is an absolute disgrace. The full weight of the law should be brought down on anyone found to be attacking these very people who work long and hard shifts to provide a vital service. However, like all crimes evidence is paramount and the cameras will give the police the tools they need to secure a quick conviction. This pilot scheme at Guy’s was welcomed by its Chief Nurse Dame Eileen Sills, who reported cases of her team getting black eyes and being pinned to the ground. She said that the cameras helped de-escalate some situations. “They give confidence to our security officers,” she said. “Also, when someone is wearing one, the individual will not necessarily exhibit the extreme behaviours they have done in the past.” The initiative came days after the Met police rolled out 22,000 cameras to their officers. And soon after a Cambridge University study showed that complaints by members of the public against officers wearing cameras fell by 93 per cent over a twelve month period compared with last year. That experiment involved police from Northern Ireland, the West Midlands, West Yorkshire, and Cambridgeshire, as well as the Rialto and Ventura police departments in California, working for a total of almost 1.5 million hours. The findings, published in the journal Criminal Justice and Behaviour, showed there were 113 complaints made against officers during the year trial period, compared with 1,539 in the twelve months before. However, critics claim that it changes the way the public interacts with the police, as they know their every word and action is being captured. It is perhaps not an ideal situation but the Cambridge research showed that it not only altered the way suspects behaved but the way officers behaved. It must be remembered that the pilot in St Thomas’ involves security staff, not the doctors and nurses, and so there really is no reason why it should not be rolled out to all hospitals.

Sound your horn - ‘unicabs’ give commuters ride to work By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
YOU MAY think the offer of a free cab as likely as seeing a unicorn walk down the street but hang around Southwark
tube today and you may just see both become reality.
Unicorn cabs - Unicabs - will be helping commuters get to work for from the station on Thursday as part of mobile network Three and ZTE’s release of the new ZTE Blade V7
phone. Up to four commuters are able to be drawn by the unicorns in white and rainbow carriages, in a bid to “cheer up down-in-the-dumps Londoners”. Michelle Clarke, one commuter,
said: “I usually get the tube to work but this morning I hopped on a unicorn parked outside my usual tube station, Bank - it was definitely an experience I won’t forget in a hurry, even if I did get a few strange looks from passers-by!”
Commuters can book a Unicab by tweeting @ThreeUK with the name of the station they’re at, with the hashtag #MagicTogether and their destination. Alternatively email unicabs@cowpr.com to reserve your place.
At Elite Peri Peri, we take pride in using state of the art oven and grill for cooking our chicken to perfection. Our aim is to provide good quality food at an affordable price.

King’s gets its own helipad www.southwarknews.co.uk/news
By Owen Sheppard
owen@southwarknews.co.uk
A NEW helipad at King’s College Hospital opened for landing yesterday, becoming the third medical helipad in London.
On the eleventh storey of the hospital’s Ruskin Wing in Denmark Hill, the pad will serve an area of four million people in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Medics will now be able to treat major trauma patients with life-threatening head injuries 25 minutes faster and more reliably than by ambulance. Robert Bentley, clinical director of the King’s Trauma Centre , and south east London Major Trauma Network, said: “This is a huge achievement for all the staff, and as you know the NHS is hard pressed at the moment. “Up until now helicopters had to land in Ruskin Park, which took a total of 25 minutes to transfer the patients. “For our most critical patients that is critical time. They have to go over speed bumps and other potential complications. But now we can transfer them in five minutes.” Funding for the helipad came from the County Air Ambulance Help Appeal, led by chief executive Robert Bertram, which donated £2.75m. Patients, families and medics donated over £500,000 through fundraising.

Brizzi murder trial continues
BOROUGH
Court heard that killer was obsessed with TV’s Breaking Bad and admitted to dissolving the body after answering door to police in only pink Y-fronts
By court reporter
news@southwarknews.co.uk
Two air ambulances operate in the south east of England, operated by Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance, an entirely charity-funded organisation. The helipad is also the UK’s first to be equipped with a ‘deck integrated firefighting system’. Dozens of jets of foam can be automatically sprayed in the event of a helipad fire, and will save King’s College Hospital NHS
Foundation Trust £300,000 per year. Dr Malcolm Tunnicliff, clinical director of Emergency Medicine at King’s, said: “We treat some of the most seriously ill and critically injured patients in the south east. “The helipad will speed up the time it takes to transfer patients from helicopter to hospital, giving them the best chance of survival.”

THE BOROUGH man accused of murdering PC Gordon Semple and dissolving his body in a bath of acid opened the door to police officers “dressed only in pink Y fronts”, an Old Bailey jury has heard.
The jury heard this week how Italian web developer Stefano Brizzi was addicted to meth, obsessed with TV-show Breaking Bad and had tried to eat part of PC Semple’s leg after he allegedly killed him at his flat on the Peabody Trust Estate in Southwark Street. PC Charlotte Edwards, one of the officers who made the grim discovery, described the scene as similar to chicken remains, after being called to the flat by residents complaining of a “smell of death”. Brizzi told her “I've killed a police officer,” but she said she didn't immediately believe him and was concerned he had mental health problems. The alleged killer later told her that 59-year-old PC Semple wanted him to enact a fantasy where Brizzi was a paedophile and he was a 15-year-old boy. She said the smell coming from the flat wasn't the usual dead body smell, but more like a meat market that is regularly scrubbed out with potent chemicals. Brizzi answered the door almost immediately dressed only in pink Y fronts when she and her partner PC Helen Savage knocked at around 2.40pm on April 7. She said: “He definitely wasn't embarrassed, not shocked either he was so immediate in opening the door it was as if he knew we were coming. “He didn't say "excuse me, I
Victim PC Gordon Semple
need to put some clothes on". “The paramedic was repeatedly asking if he was okay, he was rocking backwards and forwards, he walked towards me then changed his mind. “I asked him "Is there something you want to tell me?" And he said "I've tried to dissolve the body".” When she asked about the body, he said: “I've killed a police officer.” PC Edwards said she dealt with a lot of people with mental health problems, and that she was very sceptical of his claim. “He said "I killed him last week. I met him on Grindr and I killed him. Satan told me to". “He then pointed towards the bathroom and said "I tried to dissolve him in the bathroom".” Stefano Brizzi is accused of murder and the trial is expected to last three weeks.

CAMBERWELL
Camberwell New Road could be closed for up to a week as leak is repaired
By Kirsty Purnell
news@southwarknews.co.uk
CAMBERWELL NEW Road could be partially closed for up to a week after a burst water main caused a huge flood to engulf the street.
The closure of the busy main road, the A202 which connects Camberwell to Kennington, is likely to cause major disruption to hundreds of commuters and drivers in the area. The road was awash with gushing water early on Tuesday morning, with the stream covering pavements and leaking into front gardens. The London Fire Brigade arrived on the scene shortly after 7.30am and reported that 20 houses had been affected by the flood. Resident Peter Willis was given sandbags by the fire brigade to prevent the water making inroads into his front garden. “The road was like a swimming pool,” he said. “My flatmate had to get a piggyback off a fireman to the bus stop because she couldn’t walk to it.” Thames Water were unable to stop the leak until early afternoon, which left some reisdents fearing for their homes. “It looks like it’s getting

worse,” Tyrone Wynter, who lives close to the burst mains, told the News on Tuesday. “They haven’t tempered the flow. If they don’t stop it then it’s going to end up in my house.”
However, Thames Water confirmed at 5pm on Tuesday that only a few properties had sustained minor water damage, limited mainly to the hallways in a few properties. Camberwell councillor Kieron

Williams said that Thames Water planned to dig up the road and inspect the pipe on Tuesday night, after which they hoped to confirm the timescale of closure. They told Cllr. Williams that there was a chance of the road being 50 per cent closed for up to one week, depending on the extent of the damage to the pipe. “This is a congested route at the best of times,” said Cllr Williams, “So it’s not ideal.” TfL is managing diversions and traffic signalling in the area during the road closure. It has confirmed that four bus routes have been diverted but stated that there are not significant delays to any of these. Some residents are concerned about the safety implications caused by the increased congestion on side roads as a result of diversions. “Today, there was a big diversion with all the buses coming through on the smaller roads like Wyndham Road and Comber Grove,” said local resident Jane Bevis, “There are three schools on this route – Comber Grove
Primary, St Joseph’s Infants and Ark All Saints Academy. This is not good.” Jane, part of a local residents’ group, stated that concern over volume of traffic on the road had recently been voiced at a meeting, even before Tuesday’s disruption. “Residents are already upset about it,” she said. Cllr Williams was keen to assure local residents that should the closure be a longer term fixture, he’d be asking Southwark Council and TfL to look carefully at their diversion plans, ensuring that safety is kept at the fore. Thames Water stated that it would be responsible for cleaning the silt off the road. This major incident comes after a smaller incident two weeks ago, where there was a leak from a different pipe outside The Bear pub, also on Camberwell New Road. Despite the inconvenience, many people managed to see the funny side, with people posting humorous pictures and tweets on Twitter. One which attracted attention was a picture of TFC Supermarket staff using a forklift truck to cross the floods to get to work. “It was my idea,” said manager Roger Stirbei, “Because we had no way to get into the shop! It was funny.”

Minicab drivers say Jamaica Road traffic jams are losing them money By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
BERMONDSEY MINICAB drivers claim their wages have been hit since Tower Bridge closed for vital refurbishment works.
Drivers from Star Cars near Southwark Park said that the increase in congestion and journey times has meant business has slowed, meaning their pay has come down. Dennis Burns, a driver, told the News: “Our wages have gone down since the closure because we can’t get anywhere!” The bridge shut at the beginning of October and will remain closed for three months. The impact of the closure has meant gridlock along Jamaica Road leading to calls for the bus lane to be opened and, more recently, for the width restriction on Rotherhithe Tunnel to be removed. Huseyin Kavaz, another driver, said: “They should just get rid of the width restriction and we also need yellow boxes at the junctions on the road. “In the long term they need to build another bridge that cars can go over to solve this issue. There’s nothing
after Tower Bridge. “We should be compensated while the bridge is shut.” TfL ruled out opening the bus lane earlier this month after a petition was signed by more than five hundred people, and have told the News that the width restriction exists for “safety reasons” and that removing it “wouldn’t improve traffic flow.” Councillor Anood Al-Samerai, leader of the Southwark Liberal Democrats, said: “It's clear that the chaos caused by the bridge closure isn't just affecting residents, but businesses too. “TfL and CoL (the City of London Corporation) need to engage with taxi drivers and others being affected to see what support can be offered.” A spokesperson for the City of London Corporation said: “These are vital maintenance works that will ensure that Tower Bridge remains a functional river crossing for decades to come. “There are no plans for any form of compensation, however works of this scale are infrequent, and we have been working closely with Transport for London and Southwark Council to minimise any disruption caused.”

‘Mace’ and knife found in sweep for weapons www.southwarknews.co.uk/news
EXCLUSIVE
By Owen Sheppard
owen@southwarknews.co.uk
POLICE UNCOVERED what they described as a mace as they conducted weapons searches across the borough last week.
The pole with huge nails sticking out of it was found on an estate in Peckham. The latest wave of weapon sweeps going on across London formed Phase Six of Operation Sceptre. The five earlier phases, run since July 2015 across London, saw police carry out a total of 4,729 weapon sweeps, 155 searches of known knife carriers and 533 test purchase operations that resulted in 132 failures (illegal sales). Sergeant Sweatman, who led Friday’s sweep in Peckham, said: “This week we found what I would call a mace – a nasty looking pole with nails sticking out of it. That was on the Friary Estate. On the Lettsom Estate in Camberwell we found an eight-inch blade. “Anything we find is great because it reduces the risk again of a young lad being killed.
“Us being there and having a presence on the estates is also important because it helps us build up that trust. People stop and speak to us about their problems and we get all sorts of invaluable intelligence – which is what lets us know where to go and what to concentrate on fixing. “Residents at the Lettsom Estate this week told us about a drug den and people they had seen using near their homes, and so we went back there and made some arrests. “There’s a lot of intelligence that our dedicated ward officers now get from local residents that is vital to the police.” A police weapons sweep on Friday was joined by London’s deputy mayor for crime and policing, Sophie Linden. The Southwark officers strode beside council community wardens to scour the area along the canal walk – from Peckham Library to Burgess Park – as part of the Met’s Operation Sceptre. Friday’s weapon sweep was also joined by detective inspector Gary Anderson, who has coordinated the Operation Sceptre London-wide. DI Anderson said: “Youngsters need to be made aware that carrying a knife is not 'normal behaviour' and is against the

Dog walker finds hammer and knife BERMONDSEY: A hammer and large knife were found by a resident walking their dog last week near Drummond Road.
The mace (main) and knife (top) found by police; and London’s deputy mayor for crime and policing, Sophie Linden, joins police on a sweep
law. A knife being present in any confrontation hugely increases the chance of fatal injury and often, people are injured by the knife that they, themselves were carrying.” “In addition, new legislation now dictates that if someone is found to be
carrying a knife more than once they will be going to prison.” Operation Sceptre has so far seen over 250 people arrested across London in connection with knife-related crime, and the confiscation of 112 knives and 64 other offensive weapons.
The shock find was made at 11am on a patch of grass that children often play on. The resident, who did not want to be named, said: “I was walking my dog on the grass and came across it. Someone shouted out “don’t touch it” and we phoned the police. “They told us on the phone to pick it up and take it to the nearest police station! We said no and fifteen minutes later an officer came and picked it up, to take it away for forensic testing. “I worry about the kids who play around the area, they could have hurt themselves.” A police spokesperson said that each incident is different but their advice in incidents such as this is to not touch it, call 101 and if possible remain near it. “If it is raining, try and cover the item to retain as much evidence as possible. “However if the item needs to be removed if the person is unable to wait or due to safety reasons, then think forensics and safety, and use gloves,” they added. photo by Malachy Brown.

Family and friends attend ceremony down The Blue for Bermondsey boy killed in an unprovoked attack By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
A TREE and plaque in memory of Tommy Blackmore, who died in an unprovoked attack outside a nightclub last year, was unveiled last weekend in The Blue Marketplace in Southwark Park Road.
The event was attended by family, friends and members of the community who hope to see the tribute stay in the heart of the area for many years to come. Tommy’s brother, Bradley, said: “I would like to thank Cllr Anood AlSamerai, Russell Dryden, Gary Glover, Simon Hughes, Southwark Council and everyone else for helping out and turning up. “Legends have come through here and he is now one of them having a tree planted for him in Bermondsey. “One of my friends said everyone has something that upsets someone but there was nothing with Tommy, apart from that he was more handsome than you. “The amount of support since he passed away is unreal. It means so much.” Tommy died on June 13 last year when convicted drug dealer Lloyd Smythe, 29, from the Tabard Gardens Estate, Borough, delivered a “boxing jab” to the head outside Mono Lounge nightclub near Tower Bridge. Tommy was a “totally innocent victim” in the unprovoked attack, for which Smythe was jailed for manslaughter.
New leaseholder advice shop opens
BERMONDSEY: A new ‘homeowners service shop’ opened on Monday at Bermondsey’s Blue Marketplace, where it will offer leaseholders advice and support.
The new service will be overseen by the independent My Southwark Homeowners Board, made up of homeowners and other professionals with an interest in leasehold matters. The aim of the Agency is to: • Ensure that Southwark homeowners are treated fairly by the council and get a fair deal • Provide confidence to the homeowner that issues affecting them are being monitored and scrutinised properly • Improve customer satisfaction for homeowners • Oversee the performance of the service to homeowners • Be completely open about what makes up the costs of major works, repairs and other charges and assure homeowners that these are fair and reasonable
Simon Hughes, the former MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, said at the event: “Lots of you knew Tommy when he was small. “I knew him when he was at school. He was always an inspiration to other people, with all the stuff he did for Millwall and charity or his mum. “The way we lost him is the worst tragedy for Bermondsey. More people will come down here now and we should be grateful that this is here. When you go past just think of Tommy and his life.” On the anniversary of Tommy’s death this year a park was opened in his name at Redriff Primary School in Rotherhithe, where his former teachers shared their memories of him.

COPS DIG AT THE FLAT OF ‘BOMBER SUSPECT’ BERMONDSEY
DO YOU KNOW HIM?
By Alex Yeates

THE FAILED bomber of North Greenwich tube station may have lived in Bermondsey, as police “execute a search warrant” and erect a forensic tent in a garden on the Abbeyfield Estate.
Officers have been on site in Abbeyfield Road since last Friday according to neighbours, with a police presence being maintained outside 24/7 while they search the area. One neighbour said: “Everyone wants to know what's going on but they [police] won't say anything because they can't. “They must have been here since Friday. One moment they weren't here then another they were. “Everyone is thinking it’s to do with the bomb at North Greenwich but nobody can tell. On October 21 a 19-year-old man was tasered and arrested under the Terrorism Act in north London following the discovery of a “suspicious item on a tube” the day before. The arrested man, originally from Devon, is thought to have lived at the address in Bermondsey with his mother after moving here a short while ago. Arthur Jones, the former chair of the Maydew TRA, said: “One of the

EIGHTY YEARS since the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, eighteen Southwark men who volunteered to fight have been recommemorated with a plaque at the John Harvard Library.
Members of the International Brigade Memorial Trust joined senior councillors for a ceremony at the library in Borough High Street on Tuesday evening. This month also marked the 80th anniversary since the International Brigade was set up, in which British trade unionists and left-wing people travelled to Spain to “fight for democracy”. The war took place between 1936 and 1939, and was fought between the democratic, left-leaning Second Spanish Republic, and the Nationalists led by General Francisco Franco. It was also said in Southwark mayor Kath Whittam’s speech that the last of
the British Civil War veterans, Stan Hilton, had died on Saturday, October 21, age 98. Richard Baxell (pcitured), chair of the International Brigade Memorial Trust, told the News: “People should remember these men, who went to Spain to fight for issues like democracy, and against fascism. Fascism never goes away. “These were unemployed, working-
class people who got up and left their homes, people who had never left the country, and they went to fight knowing they might not come back. And in fact one-fifth of them didn’t.” The plaque in John Harvard Library had originally been unveiled in 1986, and had lived in the mayor’s office, but was re-unveiled at the John Harvard Library by the suggestion of Southwark Council.

Memorial lectures to mark death of schoolboy Damilola
PECKHAM: The sixteenth anniversary of the death of Peckham schoolboy Damilola Taylor next month will be marked with a series of memorial lectures and a BBC dramatisation.
Damilola, died aged ten-years-old in 2000 when he was stabbed with a glass bottle by brothers, Danny and Ricky Preddie, who were aged twelve and thirteen at the time, and received eight years for manslaughter. On November 25, two days before the anniversary, the Damilola Taylor Trust and law firm Norton Rose Fulbright will launch the Damilola Taylor Memorial Lectures. Mr Taylor, Damilola’s father, said: “I am pleased that Norton Rose Fulbright are supporting the Damilola Taylor Trust by hosting this memorial lecture. “The years don't dull the pain and in this sixteenth anniversary year it's especially hard, as the BBC dramatisation has brought so many memories back. “I hope this memorial lecture can be a success in bringing people and organisations together and that by the twentieth anniversary in 2020 we would achieve the dream of Our Loved Boy Dami, to make the world a safer place."

THE TRAVELLERS who moved into part of the old Peek Freans biscuit factory in Bermondsey have left, leaving smashed windows and piles of rubbish behind.
Last week the News reported how fifteen caravans had entered the car park of Block F, owned by developers Grosvenor, which was pursuing a possession order to evict them as a “matter of urgency”. The occupiers departed on Sunday evening after being served an “interim possession” by Grosvenor, a “noise abatement notice” by Southwark Council and a “Section 61 notice of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994” by the police.

New crossing planned for Tower Bridge Road
BERMONDSEY: A new pedestrian crossing on the Tower Bridge Road junction with Queen Elizabeth Street has received the go ahead from Transport for London after a campaign by Liberal Democrat councillors.
The crossing was called for after people had been dangerously crossing the road between the Draft House and Sainsbury’s. TfL said that work on the crossing will start at the end of the month to coincide with the closure of Tower Bridge, to avoid any disruption. Councillor Anood Al-Samerai, leader of the Southwark Liberal Democrats, said: “Liberal Democrat councillors are delighted that the long running campaign for a new crossing on Tower Bridge has been successful. “The junction with Queen Elizabeth Street has always been very dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists and a crossing here will make a real difference. “Transport for London has also confirmed that they will be doing the work while the bridge is closed.” Councillor Eliza Mann for the Riverside Ward said: “This is great news for the community and we are grateful to all the residents who took part in the consultation and supported the campaign for a new crossing.”

Crowdfunding campaign launched for new adventure playground youth club
By Kirsty Purnell
news@southwarknews.co.uk
A CROWDFUNDING campaign has been launched to create a new youth club building at Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground.
Fundraisers at the playground (DKHAP) are aiming to collect £15,000 via crowdfunding platform Spacehive, which they will use to achieve their dream of a purposebuilt home. Their current building, created half a century ago, has a number of faults, such as a leaky roof, poor plumbing and a small kitchen. The youth organisation have 46 days left to hit their target, which will pay for a planning application, after which Spacehive will take down their appeal. DKHAP has provided children aged five to sixteen with a free, outdoor, open-access adventure playground since the early 1970s. “It’s not in the greatest state,” said DKHAP manager, Patrick PierrePowell. “It wasn’t built to last fifty years.” During spring and summer,
Youngsters playing at the adventure playground (main); and (above) the current building DKHAP wants to replace
DKHAP pulls in up to one hundred children a day. A new building will mean they can develop their existing services, which include arts and crafts, music
and sports and extend them to even more children. “We are a natural hub for the community,” said Patrick, “The playground is where people
congregate. Families come together and enjoy each other through play.” If DKHAP’s planning application is successful, their next challenge will be to raise the money for the building
itself, which Patrick estimates could cost around half a million pounds. “All going well, we’d be hoping to start building in 2018,” he said. “It’s always been our dream,” said Patrick. “But now we have the right people around us.” “Play keeps kids healthy,” he said. In addition to their Spacehive efforts, the team is also planning a Bonfire Night fundraiser on November 4 and a Christmas Fair on November 26.

‘Noise could sink the Mayflower’ ROTHERHITHE
Residents fear plans to build flats above historic hall could see it closed down
EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
PROPOSALS TO demolish and rebuild the Mayflower TRA Hall with flats above it has left residents concerned that “noise complaints” will affect the new hall’s operation.
The current building, which used to be Rotherhithe Town Hall, is often booked for weddings, bingo and birthday parties – prompting fears the noise it generates will lead to complaints by any residents movuing in above.
Susan Challis, chair of the Mayflower TRA, said: “They [Southwark Council] want to build an eight to nine storey block of flats here. It’s a historical building. We’ve had people from Australia and Canada come and tell us how they got married here 40 years ago. “You could not live above it no matter the sound proofing. The council has not acknowledged the noise complaints issue. This hall is used by the community. There are wakes here and it’s even booked up until next year.” Residents and members of the TRA have started a petition in opposition to the plans with 300
signatures so far, and are calling for “more dialogue” with Southwark Council. Councillor Anood Al-Samerai, leader of the Southwark Liberal Democrats, has also criticised the council’s consultation with residents. Councillor Mark Williams, Southwark Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and New Homes, said: "The existing building is an old pre-fab that was not designed to be long lasting. “A detailed survey was carried out that showed it needed major improvements to keep it running and even then it would not be a long term solution and so ultimately isn’t a good use of limited public money. “Any potential noise issues, or any other concerns that are raised during the consultation, will be taken into consideration through the detailed design process by the architects. There are measures that can be put in place to make sure the hall can be run successfully even with homes above it as happens elsewhere in London.” The hall has been identified as a site for 27 socially rented homes as part of Southwark Council’s commitment to build 1,500 homes by 2018.
British Land buys former Rotherhithe dock offices ROTHERHITHE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
THE OLD Dock Offices were officially acquired by the property developers in charge of the Canada Water Masterplan this week.
British Land completed the purchases of both the Dock Manager’s Office and 1-14 Dock Offices behind Surrey Quays Road and Deal Porters Way. The purchase of the historic Grade II listed buildings, which were previously on the edge of the Canada Water regeneration masterplan site, means the Dock Offices will now be integrated into the masterplan proposals. Roger Madelin, Head of Canada Water Development at British Land, said: “This purchase represents an exciting opportunity to consider these historic buildings as part of the masterplan for the area. “A key focus will be how the masterplan public realm can be enhanced to provide more of a setting for this important piece of the docks’ heritage.” The Dock Offices were built in 1892 for the Surrey Commercial Docks and remained in continuous operation with little alteration in the 20th century. The gradual decline in the need for timber in building construction however led to the closure of the commercial docks
in 1969, leaving the building unused until 1985. From 1981 the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) redeveloped the infilled Surrey Docks site with housing and a new road system. There is no intention to change the appearance of the buildings, which in any case are listed and therefore benefit from significant protection in terms of planning. The status of the tenants within the building will remain unchanged and British Land expects to continue with the existing maintenance arrangements and suppliers.

Schools among the best
By Owen Sheppard
owen@southwarknews.co.uk
TWO LOCAL secondary schools have been ranked among the best in England for their GCSE results, according to the government’s brand new ‘Progress 8’ scoring system.
Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich and St Thomas the Apostle College in Peckham came eighth and twelfth respectively out of all 6,381 state secondary schools in the country. After the Progress 8 scores were released on October 14, Harris Girls’ was named the top school in Southwark with a result of +0.95. Carrie Senior, Principal of Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich, said: “This local and national recognition is a fantastic reward for the very hard work of our talented students and staff. “Whatever their starting point when they join us, our students know that they will succeed if they make the most of what’s on offer here.” Headteacher of STAC (St Thomas the Apostle College) Eamon Connolly called his +0.92 result “absolutely brilliant”. “We had 82 per cent A*-C, which speaks for itself,” he said. “I have been here four years, and teaching for 20 years, and I can say the boys really are our greatest asset. Our philosophy of teaching is if you put well-motivated, good kids in front of
good teachers, you will get good results. “We have a big push on extra curriculum as well, and I believe the most thorough measure of how good a school is, is where their pupils are five years after they have left. “It’s about pupil development, and that’s why this Progress 8 score is so key.” One STAC pupil, Jeanie Purslow, told the News she was one of just three girls when she came to STAC, as its first mixed-gender year group in September 2015. “I didn’t find it difficult,” Jeanie said, “I found it better than my old school because of how welcoming the boys and all the staff have been. “I want to study English at university and my teachers have really encouraged me to work hard on the things I really like studying and care about.” Emmanuel Otobo said: “I started at this school in year 7, and back then things weren’t so good. But as the school improved, after Mr Connolly started working here, I started to feel much more confident and you can see things getting better. “I never used to regard myself as someone who was naturally clever, but the teaching here has brought out the best in me. I’m studying Maths, Physics and Economics, and hoping to do engineering at university.” Sacred Heart Catholic School had the third best result in Southwark with +0.81.
How does Progress 8 work?
THE NEW Progress 8 score measures the improvement pupils achieved in their GCSE results for eight core subjects, compared with the grades they were predicted to achieve.
Pupils’ predicted GCSE grades all over England were worked out based on how they performed throughout their school lives: from Year 3 to their Year 10 mocks. For every grade they achieved which exceeded what they were predicted (for example: an A rather than a B) it would earn them a score of +0.1. Or, +0.2 if the improved grade was in Maths or English. But it would be -0.1 if they got one grade worse in a subject (-0.2 for Maths and English). The score the school is given is based on the average score of its pupils. So a school where all of its pupils get exactly the grades they were predicted would score 0. St Thomas the Apostle College scored +0.92. This means its pupils – on average – scored seven or eight grades higher than expected. This year, the national average was -0.03, meaning the majority of pupils around the country performed worse than their predicted grades.

LONDON’S ONLY goalball team, based in Elephant and Castle, has seen a huge uptake of membership following the London 2012 Paralympics.
The sport has experienced a “massive boom” across the UK following exposure through the 2012 games, which has led to the London Elephants gathering 58 members in their first six months of operation. “It’s just extraordinary,” said Chris Davies of charity Goalball UK. “Goalball is niche so just eight regular members is a good target. Never mind nearly 60!” Paralympic Star Jess Lukes attends “almost every session” according to Chris and as well as playing, provides a lot of support to the new players. “She’s really eager to help new players. She understands what it’s like to learn the game with a visual impairment.” Goalball was originally devised to support the rehabilitation of visuallyimpaired WWII veterans.

between participants. The aim of the game is for players to get the ball into their opponents net, while defenders use their body to prevent the ball going in. Now, goalball is played by both visually impaired and sighted people and London Elephants are keen to welcome people with and without a disability. The team are also bucking the London trend of low sports uptake among people with disabilities, after a Sports England study revealed that 70 per cent of those registered disabled in the capital play no sport whatsoever. Abdul Hameed, a London Elephants member, believes that low sports uptake could be for a number of reasons. “It may be access, maybe people are too shy or maybe they’re not motivated but people are more than welcome to join us and it’ll boost their confidence,” he said. “Elephant and Castle is hugely accessible,” said Chris from Goalball. “The transport links are excellent and the station staff are usually very helpful.” The Elephants train at The Castle Leisure Centre, 22 Elephant and Castle, SE1 6SQ, every second and fourth Tuesday, 6-8pm.
HOSPITALS HAVE MOST CALL-OUTS FOR PESTS
Southwark News, Thursday October 27, 2016
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
GUY’S AND St Thomas’ hospitals and King’s College Hospital made the highest number of calls for pest control out of 52 NHS trusts last year, figures reveal. The two Southwark hospitals came top of a table of 52 trusts, who in total made some 5,000 calls to deal with rodents, maggots and cockroaches – at the cost of £628,721.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ made 835 calls and King’s College Hospital made 529 calls in 2015. A spokesman from Guy's and St Thomas ' NHS Foundation Trust said that they “take all pest control matters very seriously and deal with them swiftly”, adding that their location close to the Thames means a “robust response is absolutely essential”. The reason given by King’s College Hospital for their high number of call outs was that some were for “prevention and not just
www.southwarknews.co.uk/news
infestation”. A spokesperson said: “The estate at King’s College Hospital is particularly prone to this type of problem because of its age and due to its proximity to the railway. “We have robust systems in place to report, rectify and prevent any pest control issues that arise on a day to day basis. “All services related to pest control/infestation are subcontracted via an out-sourced provider on a fixed annual agreement which includes pest
control and prevention services. “They have an ongoing programme to take preventative action to avoid future occurrences where possible.”
Security staff get body cameras By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
SECURITY STAFF at Guy's and St Thomas' are being given body cameras after attacks on nurses and frontline workers increased by nearly a third the last year.
From April to September 2016 there were 850 recorded incidents, compared to 620 in the same period last year – up by 27 per cent. Other statistics show that in the six months from April to September this year: • 75 arrests were made – up from 30 in the same period last year • 26 patients have been excluded from the Trust which means they will only be provided with emergency treatment – up from seven in the same period last year • 130 behaviour contracts have been issued – these explain why that person’s behaviour was unacceptable and that any repeat will mean they are excluded from the Trust – up from 70 in the same period last year. Dame Eileen Sills, Chief Nurse at Guy’s and St Thomas’, said: “I absolutely understand that coming to hospital can be
a very stressful experience and we want to ensure all our patients receive the right care delivered safely, with kindness. "But at times our staff and patients have felt threatened and intimidated by a small number of patients and visitors and we want to send a clear message to people that our staff are here for them. Please let them do their jobs safely. “We will also be training our staff to identify patients at risk of developing challenging behaviour for clinical reasons so that the appropriate support and interventions can be given to prevent them from harming themselves or others. “Any unprovoked violence and aggression towards staff is unacceptable. If people do abuse our staff we will take robust action and pursue them through the courts if necessary.” The six month trial comes as the Trust launches its Keep Our Staff Safe campaign, backed by the Metropolitan Police, to reduce violent and abusive behaviour by patients and visitors and increase staff awareness of the support available to them. Superintendent Roy Smith said: “We take assaults on NHS staff very seriously.
The introduction of body cameras will help prevent them occurring in the first place because they act as an excellent deterrent and provide really good evidence for us to bring offenders to justice. “I would hope if the pilot here is successful it is something that other NHS Trusts would look to roll out across London.”
No date set for police cameras
NO DATE has been set so far for body cameras being used by Southwark police officers, after the Met announced a city-wide roll out.
The scheme revealed last week will see the start of Body Worn Video (BWV) cameras being issued to more than 22,000 officers in a bid to bring “speedier justice for victims”. All footage recorded on BWV is subject to legal safeguards and guidance, with footage being automatically uploaded once the device is docked and flagged for use as evidence at court. Video not retained as evidence or for a policing purpose is automatically deleted within 31 days.

he’d just come from the set of Only Fools and Horses. “Although Tony may have looked as if he'd just stepped off the 6.40pm train from Epsom to
Waterloo he had a warm demeanour that could literally enchant anyone to his cause. In a different career course he could have easily been a successful City Trader. Yet this
paradox was Tony's strength,” he said. “Too many people underestimated his political abilities. And to survive as a Southwark councillor for 28 years believe me is an achievement in itself. Behind the outward appearances lay a bright intelligence.

I would also like to congratulate the work of the local MP Neil Coyle, Southwark Councillors and local transport and community groups who have campaigned tirelessly for this much-needed river-crossing. In addition to providing a free, green way to get across the river, the bridge will ease overcrowding on the Jubilee Line and local buses. This is great for Southwark residents going to work or to visit East London, and good news for Southwark businesses and attractions. This fantastic news comes as part of a range of proposals to rebalance the historic lack of Thames crossings east of Tower Bridge. This includes improved plans for a Silvertown Tunnel, which has the potential to alleviate traffic and congestion in Southwark by giving an alternative to the Blackwall Tunnel, and will also provide an opportunity to create new bus links to East London. These are all great strides from a Transport perspective, but also go a way towards addressing the pressing issue of air pollution. Around 9,400 deaths per year in London are attributed to our toxic air and addressing this is a top priority for the Mayor and Assembly. The Rotherhithe Bridge is subject to approvals, availability of land and funding. The Garden Bridge project is currently under review by Dame Margaret Hodge MP. £40 million of public money has been wasted on this so far, expected to cost £185 million if it is ever built. I hope that this review sees the end of another of Boris’ vanity projects, and public money can be better spent on a useful river-crossing for Londoners. I would encourage Southwark residents to engage with the Mayor’s Air Quality consultation online www.consultations.tfl.gov.uk

Being labelled bed-blockers
I NOTICE a couple of national newspapers (who shall remain nameless), having taken to sniping at the elderly again regarding ‘bed-blocking’, come up with that hoary old excuse ‘that they are living longer’.
As if we can help that. Perhaps the present generation of pensioners have lived a healthier lifestyle that includes eating less junk food, taken more exercise and attended a gym on a regular basis, who knows? But a recent study revealed that pensioners live an average of 77 minutes from their close relatives, meaning that a third of families
struggle to cope when elderly relatives are discharged from hospital. This means that charities often have to fill the gap left by modern family structures. In some places a fifth of hospital beds are occupied by patients who cannot leave (called bed-blockers), because there is not the right community support. But the report found families were far more worried about early discharge, concerned that elderly patients were made to leave hospital before they were ready. Recent research, complied by the King’s Fund, found 30 per cent of families could not care for the older relative after they left hospital without extra support. Your average pensioner stay in hospital is fifteen days and he would be visited on seven occasions. But modern families are less able to provide long term support. The study of 1,000 people with parents over 75 found 33 per cent said they live too far away to keep up with the daily care of relatives, such as dressing, cleaning and cooking. Many said juggling work and childcare added pressure and 21 per cent said they felt guilty about not being able to do more. Some nineteen per cent said they found premature discharge from hospital a problem, compared with just three per cent who said delayed discharge were an issue. I think that councils should re-visit their care in the community projects and perhaps Southwark’s Social and Adult Care Cabinet member can enlighten us on its latest plans. Reg O’Donoghue, Walworth
Help me make my Christmas cards
I AM seeking the help of London's schoolchildren to make my Christmas cards this year different and special.
As MEP for London, every year I send seasonal greetings to people and organisations across the city. This time
I would like a youngster from one of our primary schools to design them. If they send me their designs, I will pick my favourite to go on the front of the cards I send out. The winning school will also receive a £100 book token for their library. All entries need to be sent to the office of Syed Kamall, 161 Brigstock Road, Croydon, CR7 7JP by Monday 31st October 2016. I appeal to your younger readers - as well as their parents and teachers - to get creative and get their schools involved. Syed Kamall, Conservative MEP for London
knowing what you have achieved physically, all while supporting a worthy cause. Together, the London to Oxford and London to Brighton treks helped raise around £280,000 for the BHF’s vital research into heart disease this year, but we want to raise even more in 2017. I would encourage anyone to take on a challenge and sign up to become a Heart Trekker – you will be making such a difference to millions of people in the UK living with heart disease. Visit bhf.org.uk/challenges to find out more. Alex Michael , BHF Heart Trekker and Gogglebox star
I AM writing to invite your readers to sign up to one of the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) ultimate walking challenges – the London to Oxford Trek on the 1314 May or the London to Brighton Trek on the 24-25 June.
SIXTEEN YEARS ago there had never been a single case of a child being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the UK. BBC’s Panorama revealed this month that there are now more than 500 cases – and rising.
Join the trek
It will push you to the limit. If you choose to do the full trek, you’ll have 30 hours to complete the 100k course, walking nonstop through the night. You can also sign up to walk 50km, either in the day or through the night. This year, I joined hundreds of hikers in the fight against heart disease as I took on the London to Brighton Trek to raise funds for the BHF’s life saving research. I signed up because there’s a long history of heart and circulatory disease in my family. My dad has suffered from several angina attacks and had a stent fitted in 2007 after doctors discovered a narrowed artery. My grandfather also died of dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle, in 1993 when I was just two years old. My dad is one of seven million people living with heart and circulatory disease in the UK today. In London alone, there are an estimated 629,000 people living with heart and circulatory disease. But the BHF is fighting back through its life saving research. I met some amazing people along the way and all the training is worth it when you cross the finish line,
Walk to school
October is International Walk to School Month – not a date many of us will have in our diary but as walk to school rates hit a dangerous low point and child health problems increase, maybe it should be. Walking more can lead to improved physical and mental health, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. The journey to school is one that children make every day, so let’s just make it an active one. Catchment areas can be an issue but Park and Stride – swapping school gate gridlock for parking further away and taking a short walk instead – means children can still get active for part of the journey and stops the school being surrounded by congestion. If you could park further away and walk the last stretch then ask your school to speak to a nearby supermarket, pub or church about allowing their car park to be used for Park and Stride. Soaring diabetes, childhood obesity and harmful air pollution mean we need to seek solutions – not excuses – and give them a go. International Walk to School Month is a good time to start.

Shakespeare’s Fishing for refugee lovers darkness FOLLOWING THEIR production of 'Much Ado About Nothing' in April, Wolf-Sister Productions and Pepe Pryke return to The Rose Playhouse. This time, they present Shakespeare's greatest love story, Romeo & Juliet.
Two warring families, the Montagues and the Capulets, find themselves far from home. Caught up in a greater conflict, they have been uprooted to a refugee camp. Before Romeo encounters Juliet, the family feud leads to a street brawl, but when they do meet they fall passionately in love. What happens when romance runs counter to family ties? How can Romeo and Juliet protect their love when their world is violent and unstable? Over 21 million people worldwide are facing life as a refugee today. Over half are under the age of 18. Displaced people can often be portrayed as an undifferentiated mass, rather than as individuals. By using this setting for a familiar tale, this production directed by Alex Pearson will draw attention to the complex stories of today's refugees.

Southwark News, Thursday October 27, 2016
JAMIAN JULIANO-Villani’s paintings in her exhibition of new paintings: The World’s Greatest Planet on Earth, are composed using an atlas of thousands of appropriated images, personal photographs, and reproductions of existing artworks.
The artist wryly refers to her compositions as ‘arranged marriages’ – an eighteenth century ukiyo-e Japanese woodcut is forced to coexist with a watermarked stock image that may have been snapped and uploaded to Shutterstock a day earlier. This imagery is painted, repainted, and edited directly on the canvas; ‘a poor man’s Photoshop,’ or an almost masochistically longhand form of collage that is at odds with the speed at which we consume images today. The resulting paintings are anxiety filled images that are simultaneously prosaic and surreal. For her commission at Studio Voltaire, JulianoVillani presents new large–scale paintings alongside never before exhibited sculptural
Rudyard Kipling’s classic mercenary yarn. This is the story of Peachy Carnehan and Daniel Dravot; soldiersfor-hire amid the shifting borders of the Middle East. Tired of the mercenary life, Peachy and Daniel have come up with a plan; head to Northern Afghanistan, enslave the natives, and install themselves as kings. Dawn State combine searing text, bold physicality and original music to bring Kipling’s ground-breaking novella to life, in a thrilling new play exploring Britain’s colonial legacy in the Middle East.

installations. In one painting, an immediately recognisable, orange bumpered LaCie hard drive is thrown down a long corridor on the Titantic; the hard drive projecting memories of failed painting attempts and threatening memories from the artist’s childhood in suburban New Jersey. In another an Olympic swimmer, cauled in the surface tension of the pool's water, is being forced to play the recorder – a cheap, plastic version of the flute, often given to middle schoolers as an introduction to sheet music. Alongside this series of new paintings, Juliano-Villani will present a pair of sculptures, marking a new development in the artist’s practice. A 1955 J-L Seeburg jukebox has been modified to mimic the audio used in binaural therapy to relieve anxiety and stress, also called ASMR. The recording, which features the distorted voice of the artist’s mother, satirizes the budding genre of homebrewed ASMRtists who upload YouTube videos meant to trigger calming sensations. Affective and angst ridden, filled with moral dilemmas and personal visions, JulianoVillani’s works can all be read as self-portraits. Her use of familiar images and objects questions her own subjectivity and that of her audience – the things we know, or thought we did, take on new and often ominous meanings.

I
n her series of books about the notable people and places of this ancient borough, historian Mary Boast ventured that Victorian author John Ruskin was Camberwell’s most-well-known child, writes Owen Sheppard...
While Ruskin’s name may be unknown to many, besides those living near John Ruskin Street, or have heard of John Ruskin College in Croydon, his avalanching body of work continues to be celebrated. Ruskin produced over 250 works, initially showing flare during his childhood as a poet. He even received a ‘Newdigate Award’ while at Oxford University – handed to him by a personal hero, the Romantic poet William Wordsworth. He then developed a penchant for elaborate and meandering pieces on art criticism and history. And as he scribbled through his years he expanded into topics including science, geology, ornithology, literary criticism, the environmental effects of pollution, mythology, travel, political economy and social reform. Ruskin also penned essays and treatises, lectures and travel guides, and even a fairy tale. But in all of his writing, he emphasised the connections between nature, art and society. In January 1865 Ruskin gave one of his few public lectures in Camberwell, at the Working Men’s Institute. The reason he had taken his lecturing career to Edinburgh rather than in England was to avoid the disapproval of his father, who since his childhood had looked down on it. So he gave the local lecture, entitled Work and Play, just a few months after his dad, John James Ruskin, had died. The lecture criticised the “rich and idle” and said that England’s “game if riches” was something no one heartily takes part in knowing their reason why. “Ask a great money maker what he wants to do with his money – he never knows,” he said. John Ruskin was born on February 6, 1829. In his own words, his father, John James Ruskin, was an “increasingly prosperous” cherry merchant who provided handsomely for the family. What inspired him at an early age was his diet of Romantic literature – with his heavy, almost religious focus on truth derived from wonder at the natural world. But this too was also shaped by his perception of the world around him as he was growing up.
His autobiography ‘Praeteria’ – written five years before his “mental and physical collapse” in 1900, aged 90 – recalls his reflections of a children tale about the former Camberwell Pond which sat on the current site of the Green. It was the story of a wicked boy who had skipped church and climbed the elm tree beside it on a Sunday, only to plunge into the pool, and “the soul of him [ also fell] into a deeper and darker pool”. The Pond was “of considerable size and depth… the sable opacity of its waiters adding to the mystery of its danger”. Meanwhile the Beresford Chapel in Walworth which he attended in childhood was to Ruskin, of “perfect Londonium type”, which meant as much to him as did the “basilicas” to the old Roman Catholics. In his back catalogue he also dwelt on the “planes of Peckham” and the quiet shadowy spaces along Cold Abrour Lane – its original pronunciation – “arbour” being the word for a “shady garden alcove”. Ruskin spent 30 years of his career living in Denmark Hill, on the current site of the Denmark Hill estate. There, he kept company with the some of the most celebrated intellectual minds of the Victorian times, from the UK and the United States. On his twenty-fourth birthday he entertained his favourite painter, the Romantic landscape artist JMW Turner, whose work “covered” Ruskin’s walls. It was “the happiest birthday evening (save one) I have ever had in my life,” Ruskin wrote. Among others were the poet Tennyson, author Charles Kingsley and American writer Henry James. Besides all career paths in which he wielded a pen, Ruskin also earned the title of “philanthropist” for his vital assistance to the social reformer Octavia Hill. She, after working and studying with Ruskin at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, borrowed £750 from him to set up London’s first housing co-operative. There are water-colour paintings by Ruskin kept at the Dulwich Picture Gallery today, but the most famous memento of life is the stained-glass gothic-style East Window of St Gilles’s Church which he codesigned with his old school friend Edmund Oldfield.

Use your noodle & go to Ekachai EKACHAI
68 UNION STREET SE1 1TD
WWW.FLATIRONSQUARE.CO.UK/TRADERS/ EKACHAI/
AFTER LOITERING by a bus stop on Southwark Street for forty minutes waiting for my friend who had been delayed by Southern Rail, we were eager for a cool pint and hot plate of food. Beckoned into the much talked about Flat Iron Square by an enormous billboard by an unassuming car park, which turned out to be the back entrance, we did not go disappointed, writes Alex Yeates…
Although the square was still very much undergoing final work ahead of its official opening, it had managed to capture an essential charm. Boasting diverse cuisine from around the world, from Italy to Hong Kong, all under railway arches, it bore a similarity to the famous Borough Market but without the overwhelming crowd and pressure of time. We were there to try out Ekachai, which was established in Liverpool Street in 1999 by school friends Thomas Tjong and Sidney Tsang of Hong Kong – a country famous for its street food and night time markets. The stall sits by one of the many entrances to the square with gong sized woks flaming in its kitchen greeting you as you step up to order. The flurry of the night, entertaining guests and customers, while work was still ongoing on parts of the location did not seem to faze the experienced four chefs inside the stall, as they danced around each other pan-frying dumplings and tossing noodles. The aroma of Malay, Thai and
Cantonese dishes enticed dozens of wanderers in the square to get out of their comfort zones. On recommendation from content passersby, I tucked into a Char Kway Teow while a hungover and brave George tried the Nasi Goreng. The Char Kway Teow, a dish of Penang style flat rice noodles with prawns, egg, chilli, soy sauce, beansprouts and Chinese chives, was a
great blend of spices that stood out as a worthy after-work treat. Meanwhile, the Nasi Goreng, Malaysian wok fried rice with prawn, squid, egg and diced vegetables served with cucumber, tomato, spiced crackers and sambal chili sauce, was described to me as having a “good kick but not overpowering” – just what George needed. Washed down with a complimentary beer from the large bar stretched along
the main entrance, we decided to go back for more and eyed up the pan-fried dumplings. Although taking a while to be served due to Ekachai’s popularity growing by the minute, once they were safely delivered they were devoured in less than a minute. Unlike other dumplings I have had before, the panfried touch added a flavoursome crunch that encouraged and satisfied our appetites. The overall experience of Ekachai was charming. It must be hard encapsulating the atmosphere of famous street food thousands of miles away from where it is taken for granted, but they do it well. Each dish has careful attention paid to it meaning you enjoy it more, which is made impressive by the speed and scale in the way it’s done. Once the whole square is up and running, it will give Borough Market a run for its money.

Living in Bermondsey
Property
What does living in Bermondsey look like?
U
p until early 2000’s Bermondsey was a neglected area full of empty warehouses and under serviced by transport. If you spent an afternoon walking around Bermondsey you would see a very different picture to that of 20 years ago. In just a few decades it has become a sophisticated urban centre with gentrification a plenty. Bermondsey is a case and point example of how rapidly the fortunes of a London area can change. Located on the southern bank of the river Thames, covering SE1 and SE16, Bermondsey is ideally situated for access to the city, west end and the wider south England, with direct train links from London Bridge getting you to the beach in around an hour. Bermondsey covers a large area stretching from Southwark Park to the east, Borough High Street to the west, Old Kent Road to the south and the river Thames to the north. As a result, Bermondsey remains a place of great contrasts steeped in history which is part of the city which has developed a reputation for sleek warehouse apartments, trendy restaurants and cultural museums. Bermondsey Street itself is synonymous with food-lovers, creatives and cool city professionals looking for a relaxing haven. Independent restaurants, bakeries and delicatessens make the area a choice destination for many tourists and while world-famous gourmet markets Borough Market and Maltby Street Market are a short walk away there is a choice of either sourdough bread or silver service dinning.
KALMARs lunch pick: Del’Aziz restaurant –Located in Bermondsey Square, you can dine while looking down through the viewing glass at the remains of the Bermondsey Abbey. Try the slow cooked lamb tagine on a couscous bed.

students can normally be found visiting the many coffee shops, quirky bars and small galleries during the weekend. However there are still some quieter parts of SE16 that younger families have benefited from and where they are flourishing with access to open green spaces, most notably Southwark Park, and some of the highest ranked schools in London The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overy in Redcross Way – which have both been recently awarded ‘outstanding’ OFSTED rating. The many developments in the wings will no doubt further attract city professionals to settle and have families in Bermondsey and only more adding to the demographic already present.
What is the cost of living in Bermondsey?
E
ven though prices in London have been on a stratospheric upward trend Bermondsey has, only up until now, had relatively moderate increases. The vast array of property types give buyers choice and can offer something for everyone whether it is a tradition Georgian house; or even a Victorian warehouse conversion facing the river. Bermondsey has also jumped straight into the 21st century with housebuilders putting in more planning applications, and thus more new developments for city living. For those in search of affordability or great buy-to-let yields for their portfolio, there are an increasing number of exauthority apartment blocks that offer low purchase prices and good re-saleability. One of the exciting pulls to Bermondsey is the ability to upsize or even downsize at a later stage should the demand arise. The array of property makes Bermondsey an exciting proposition for singletons and families, young and old; it’s the mix that gives Bermondsey its beating heart. If it’s cheaper that you want then consider the area in the East near to the upcoming Rotherhithe. Here you can buy property for around £650 - £800 per square foot, however the more expensive Shad Thames, or even Bermondsey Street, will set you
back approximately £1,000 – £1,250 per square foot. Although the prices may seem high you need to factor in that you are able walk to the city, west end and all the local amenities of London in fewer than 15-20 minutes, which is pretty good going and will save a few pennies on travel costs. Even with the onset of post BREXIT Britain prices have continued to stay strong and we at KALMARs strongly believe in the area so only see this trend continuing in the immediate future especially with Southwark’s Area Action Plan (AAP) kicking into gear. Oh and don’t forget the Bakerloo extension!
What type of properties are available in Bermondsey? Pre-Georgian
Typical homes from the 17th century and earlier are very rare but can sometimes be found, in Bermondsey one notable property is the church of St Mary Magdalen which was completed around 1690. Pre-Georgian properties are more often found in the countryside and can sometimes be described as “chocolate box homes”. Properties from this period are often small, compact, low ceiling heights, window seats and open fireplaces. These features can be seen in cottages and give a cosy and homely feel.
Georgian: 1714 – 1837
Potentially the most sought after period homes could be Georgian. Their high ceilings, frequent double heighted sash windows provide the charms of period property with space for modern life. Externally these were constructed from local brick or stone, typically two or three storeys in height. You should be able to notice the panelled front door, paned and sash windows with shallow tiled roofs. Internals often have wood wall panels and frequently used detailed ceiling cornicing. Cast iron pediments/balustrades were often used and columns either side of the front door can also be found externally. Two fine examples of this are the
period properties ‘Hepple & White’ w h i c h KALMARs will be launching later this year:
features located on Westminster Bridge Road, The Chandlery.
KALMARs have launched a 3 bedroom 1,688 Sq Ft luxury apartment:
Victorian 1837 – 1901
This was the age of the terraced house with four main styles Italianete, renaissance, Queen Anne and medieval. An emphasis was made in this period towards building sturdy and long lasting properties but also typically asymmetrical. Wealthy homes were like show pieces or status symbols and were elaborately decorated in Gothic styles. You can often notice; multi storey bay windows, elaborate porches, arches and turrets. Having gables with elaborate barge boards, steeply pitched roofs topped with ornate ridge tiles, finials and sometimes ornamental chimneys are clues to help identify this period. They also have stained glass and patterned brickwork. There is a very good example of a Victorian property which has been updated to modern standards while maintaining its attractive period
FIND US: Jamaica Wharf 2 Shad Thames London SE1 2YU
Edwardian 1901 – 1918
During this period a number of styles from the Victorian period were revived but the homes were usually shorter and often semidetached. Other features include: panelling from medieval properties, large dimensions of Georgian homes. These houses are good for spacious and simple homes with some period features. Externally you can find pebbledash, timber framing, carved woodwork and mullioned windows/balconies. One of the most well-known examples is potentially The Hartley’s Jam Factory, which was constructed in 1902 and following our clients converting the buildings into apartments was brought to market by KALMARs in 2003.

Hamlet remain in hunt
Southwark News, Thursday October 27, 2016
news@southwarknews.co.uk
DULWICH HAMLET remained in the play-off hunt last week with back-to-back home victories over Harlow Town and AFC Sudbury.
After defeat by Bognor Regis Town – their fourth at Champion Hill this season – six points from six has nudged Hamlet into fifth place, the final play-off spot, in the table. Gavin Rose named an unchanged side from the victory over Leatherhead for the Harlow game and was duly rewarded with a comfortable victory. The deadlock was broken in the 35th minute, as Kenny Beaney’s cross found Ibra Sekajja at the back post, with the front man smashing home to make it 1-0. Chances were traded back and
forth between the home side and newly-promoted Harlow, but it took until the 74th minute for the next goal to be scored, as Dulwich doubled their lead through Ashley Carew’s penalty. That strike opened the floodgates, as Nyren Clunis added a third, before hotshot Alex Read made it 3-1 from the penalty spot late on. That win was backed up just four days later with a 2-0 success over AFC Sudbury, courtesy of goals from Dumebi Dumaka – his first for the club – and Gavin Tomlin – the latter coming eight minutes from time, settling any nerves that may have crept in to the 1,683 fans inside Champion Hill. Hamlet now face consecutive cup matches, before travelling to Staines Town in the league on November 1.

FISHER’S ‘COMMUNITY Day’ ended in defeat this past Saturday, as Deal Town took all three points away from St Paul’s, winning 3-2. A bumper crowd of 158 enjoyed the festivities, but a quick-fire double
from Joe Reeves inside the first eight minutes sent the visitors into an early unassailable lead. Grant Bagley then trebled Deal’s lead in the 35th minute, with Toyo Adeshina and Joel Mensah’s secondhalf strikes proving no more than mere consolation. Manager Gary Abbott stated after

DOCKLANDS UNDER-7’s suffered defeat on the road at Long Lane last weekend but were unlucky not to get the win after leading for most of the game.
The Under-15’s, meanwhile, won their match with a bare XI away against AFC Lewisham, winning 4-2, courtesy of a dominant first half. The Rotherhithe/Bermondsey outfit went in at the break 3-1 up, with the scoring opened through Harry Watson’s 20-yard drive. Shortly after that, John Hayley’s neat finish made it 2-0, after some good possession football. Teddy O’Rourke’s stunning curling shot from 30 yards made it three, but

Lewisham grabbed one back just before the break after a defensive mix-up. The second half was a much closer affair, with The Docks giving their opponents too much time and space, but Hayley eased the pressure with his second - and Docklands’ fourth – before Lewisham got a well-deserved second consolation late on.

STANSFELD/ELTHAM Palace's game at Crockenhill last Saturday was postponed, but not for conventional reasons - a film crew who had hired the ground overran on filming, causing the match to be cancelled. Stansfeld's new first team, meanwhile, were sent crashing out of the Kent Reliance Intermediate Challenge Shield, losing 7-1 at Long Lane after being reduced to 10 men in the first half, with George Walters seeing red.
The flashpoint came with the score already 2-0 to the home side. The goals continued to flow, but Dominic Karmali did manage to get Stansfeld on the score-sheet with a consolation. The club were the holders of the trophy after last season’s first team won the cup with a 4-0 win over local rivals Metrogas in the final, but will now have to look down other routes for silverware. The reserve team moved up to sixth position in the table after recording a 3-2 win at home to Lewisham Athletic. Goals from Peter Tarrant, Ben Holland and a Billy Jolley penalty gave Stansfeld all 3 points.

THERE WAS a top of the table clash this past weekend, as joint leaders Docklands Under 12’s and Meridian Valley locked horns with a view to going points clear at the summit.
With both sides unbeaten, Docklands raced into an early twogoal lead through Bjorn Thomas, who grabbed a brace after being set up both times by Frankie Lane. The home side, however, reduced the arrears from the penalty spot, before leveling the scores just before the half-time whistle. An even second half saw both teams go for the winner and it was to

THIS WAS more like it, even if there were some jitters at the end that Millwall unnecessarily brought on themselves.
A first win at home in the league in more than two months, and it couldn’t have been more timely with the threat of a drop into the relegation zone had the run been extended. Neil Harris said afterwards it is not a coincidence that the recent resurgence in form – which has led to three wins in four games – has coincided with the return to fitness of a number of important firstteam players. The latest, Shaun Hutchinson, came on for his first appearance since he got injured shortly after he had come off the bench at Peterborough in August. His introduction was with more than just to give him a run-out in mind, and it proved a shrewd move by manager Harris. Despite only coming on in the last minute with Millwall defending the slimmest of leads, he managed to make two headed clearances and he left the pitch with blood coming from a cut to his head. In truth, Millwall should never have been in that position against a Fleetwood team that had delivered an inept attacking performance. One was left wondering how Uwe Rosler’s side had come into the game five points ahead of Millwall in the League One table such was their meekness. Millwall have struggled this season

against sides that overload midfield and play a lone frontman with players moving off him. You could have been forgiven for thinking Rosler hadn’t seen any of Millwall’s defeats this season because he matched the opponents’ formation but that was the only sense in which the sides were on level terms. The contest did stay level on the scoreboard for an uncomfortably long time, though, with the sense of listlessness on the field reflected in the fairly muted involvement of those in the stands. A little pocket of 89 Fleetwood fans had made the long trip south but it was a measure of how little was happening on the pitch that their sporadic chanting could still be heard in a crowd of over 8,000. It took 26 minutes for Millwall to muster a first shot on goal. After Ben Thompson had been fouled by ex-Lion Martyn Woolford, Shaun Williams clipped a free-kick towards the top corner that Chris Neal tipped over the bar. But the home side still struggled to really create anything from open play despite having most of the possession and showing most of the impetus against a limited side. Lee Gregory looked like he would properly test Neal when he picked up Aiden O’Brien’s flick but then summed up the lack of zest in the contest by sending a limp shot into the arms of the goalkeeper. Minutes later Millwall literally received a helping hand to help them go in front in the first half. Fred Onyedinma was struggling to control the ball in the box to
get a shot on goal but then Ashley Eastham inexplicably felt the need to pull him back. Gregory placed the ball on the spot and sent Neal the wrong way with a low strike for his fifth goal of the season, his fourth successful spot-kick. That should have been the cue for Millwall to kick on and really claw back some of that goal difference that had been badly damaged in the previous two months. Instead they almost gave away an equaliser when Woolford found space to shoot on the edge of the box but the ball went wide with Joran Archer remaining motionless. Three minutes into the second half and Fleetwood were once again in selfdestruct mode. There was even less danger as Byron Webster and Nathan Pond stood twelve yards out with Williams’ corner drifting toward them, before both hit the floor and referee Carl Boyelson again pointed to the spot. Gregory this time put the ball into the opposite corner, Neal again went the opposite way, and Millwall were cruising. It should have been so easy from there but in the 65th minute substitute Ashley Hunter aimed a speculative shot towards the near post. Archer had it covered only to let the ball squirt through his grasp. He admitted later he should have stopped it. Archer made some amends when he kept out Devante Cole’s late, close-range effort and then came Hutchinson to ensure Millwall wouldn’t be left wondering how they had blown it. They must now build on it with a fully
fit squad and no more excuses.

MILLWALL 49 Shaun Hutchinson in action for Millwall's U23s against Crystal Palace
Defender showed glimpses of his defensive quality against Fleet wood EXCLUSIVE
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
SHAUN HUTCHINSON says he is happy to put his head in where it hurts for Millwall.
The 25-year-old centre-back made his comeback from injury as an 89th-minute substitute for Lee Gregory against Fleetwood last Saturday and made two headed clearances to help Millwall see the game out. Hutchinson has had a stop-start Millwall career so far, but he was determined to make an impression when Neil Harris sent him on to add more height and bulk to his defence as Fleetwood won a number of late setpieces. “It’s been a frustrating time for me not playing in so long,” Hutchinson said. “You’ve got to keep working hard and keep doing what you’re doing. Hopefully when the time comes round it’s been worth it. “The gaffer told me to go on and win headers and help us win the game. We were winning 2-1 and I came on and got a couple of good headers and a cut to the head while doing it. But I’m happy to do that for the cause. “They had put a big defender up top and they were going to hit him with a lot of long balls. The gaffer saw that and thought an extra centre-back on the pitch would be a good idea. “To be fair, it hasn’t been the problem getting the first header to set-pieces, it’s
been the second ball and the reactions of the lads to second phases of set-pieces which has been the problem. The manager has mentioned that to us as well. “I’ve played in a lot of games, you know what’s going on on the pitch. At the start of the season we were scoring from set-pieces and defending them really well. But the luck seemed to change. “As you’re watching the game you see what’s going on and you hope you get your chance to have a little input and try to help out.” Hutchinson was Harris’ number one defensive target in the summer when it became clear Mark Beevers would not be signing a new deal. The Newcastle-born defender showed the quality Lions fans saw on Saturday in pre-season before he tore his hamstring in Tony Craig’s testimonial in July. Another hamstring problem forced him off against Peterborough in August after he had come on as a substitute, before a calf injury set him back further. He admitted he did start to question whether he needed to change his routine but never questioned his decision to drop down a division to join the club. He explained. “My agent had been speaking to the club over the phone for a little while and then I met the gaffer and had a chat with him. I really liked what I heard. Sometimes when you think about things too much it gets a bit complicated, so sometimes it’s better to go with your natural instinct. I felt this was the right club. He plays the way I like to play and he gives the boys the freedom to express themselves.
“It just sounded like a good opportunity for me. With them making the play-offs last year and not losing that many players I thought there would be a good chance (of promotion). “They lost a centre-half last year in Beevs and I’ve come in and people thought I would take his place straight away. But it hasn’t been that way and it’s been a frustrating time for me. “To come into a new club people expect to see you play. But then you get an injury, come back and get another injury, and you start questioning what you’re doing. “All the things you normally do you wonder if they’re the right things anymore, or if you need to make changes. You think, ‘Am I doing the right things off the pitch?’All those things. But you’ve got to stay true to what you’re doing and listen to the physio.
“I don’t really know what it was. In the Peterborough game I came off the bench and injured my hamstring immediately. I had trained the day before and felt great. Even in the warm-up I was doing sprints at maximum speed. So to come on and get injured, it didn’t make sense. “If you knew why these things happened you’d be living in a mansion somewhere because you’d be a millionaire.” Hutchinson has still only played a handful of minutes for the first team, but got through the full game as the U23s thumped QPR 5-1 on Monday. And he is hoping he has left the treatment room behind as he targets a first senior competitive start since May. He said: “You want to get back out there and start enjoying it again. You’re sitting there with the physio looking out the window every day at everyone
training. Even when a training session looks hard you just wish you were back out there again. “Sometimes you don’t even get to see the lads because you’re coming in at a different time, you’re getting treatment and then going home at different times. You spend most of the time with the physios and as much as they are nice guys and they look after you it’s not where you want to be. “At the moment I’m just enjoying being back out training. I’ve played some U23 games as well. They’re a really good group of lads, they work their socks off. I’m hoping that after the few games I’ve played with them I get the mindset that I’ve never been away and I can kick on. “Obviously we haven’t performed recently but I think the squad is good enough to push on.”

Shaun Cummings in action for Millwall’s Development Squad
FORMER GUNNER AND SPUR IN SCRAP
THERE WAS an unexpected and bitter renewal of the Arsenal-Tottenham rivalry at QPR’s training ground last Monday.
Millwall U23s have two dogged, aggressive midfielders in Harry Donovan and Kieran Farrell who weren’t cowed by the former Brazilian international Sandro in the opposition line-up. Millwall were 3-1 up before halftime when Sandro took exception to Donovan’s persistence and after an altercation between the pair the former Spurs midfielder was sent off, while the ex-Gunner youngster was booked. Justin Skinner’s side made their numerical advantage count by adding two more goals through Christian Mbulu and Alfie Pavey to add to efforts from Noah Chesmain, Kris Twardek and Harry Smith.
NO LOAN YET FOR SID
NEIL HARRIS has ruled out a loan move for defender Sid Nelson.
With Shaun Hutchinson and Shaun Cummings back from injury Nelson has dropped down the pecking order. And Harris wants to make sure Hutchinson proves his match fitness before considering whether to send Nelson out. “I’ve said to Sid that he’s been very, very close,” Harris said. “He’s played some games and he’s another one who has a long-term future here. He’s a leader and solid man already at a young age. “He needs to play regular football but hasn’t quite forced his way in at the moment. “With Hutch just coming back it’s not the right time at the moment for Sid. But we always monitor the young players’ situations.”

Defender is now fully recovered after surgery that had no guarantees
EXCLUSIVE
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
SHAUN CUMMINGS revealed the knee surgery he underwent in February that has kept him out of first-team action for almost nine months wasn’t guaranteed to work.
Cummings is back in contention for a place in Neil Harris’ starting XI this weekend, coincidentally against Oxford, against whom he last played for the Lions in February. Twenty-seven-year-old defender Cummings had been playing with a knee cartilage problem and was substituted in that game. After conversations with Harris and the medical department the decision was taken to undergo microfracture surgery, a procedure that involves creating small fractures in the bone to allow blood and bone marrow seep out and create a new sheet of cartilage. Part of his recovery programme required him to sit for six hours a day for almost six weeks using a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine, a device that puts the knee through constant ranges of motion to reduce swelling and help the healing process.
Cummings said that required a lot of patience but he accepted it as one of the challenges that comes with his profession. And he also said there was a risk that the operation would not be a success. “The bones had been rubbing against each other so that was uncomfortable for me,” Cummings explained. “It could have been down to wear and tear or something that was there before, I’m not too sure. “I had swelling in my knee which wasn’t going away. I had to see a couple of surgeons and get a couple of scans to see where the problem was. I had been playing with it for a while but it wasn’t healing by itself. “I had to decide whether to have the operation or whether to carry on playing through it. I got good advice from the medical team here and the gaffer helped me out with the decision as well. “They said it was six to nine months out depending on the healing process and whether it worked or not. But I didn’t really think about that, I’m a positive person and don’t feed off negativity. “If you feed off negativity then negativity will happen. I did what I had to do on my side. I was at home on a CPM machine for six hours a day to get the range of movement back into it.
“I watched a lot of box sets! It was more or less every day for six weeks. I was coming in here as well and that was important. The physios and the gaffer were really good with me and anything I needed they were there. “It’s been a long, hard process but I’ve had that support behind me. “It helped get me to the stage I am now where I’m playing 90 minutes. This is my career so you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do and make the sacrifices I’ve been making since I was young. “So far it’s been a long road but a good one because I’m back playing now.” Cummings made his competitive playing comeback with the club’s U23 side in a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest on September 19, and completed his first 90 minutes in their 5-1 win at QPR on Monday. Despite so long out, Cummings insisted there was no way he was going to hold back when it came to testing the strength of his knee. He said: “I was doing light training with the first team for a couple of weeks before full training with tackles and everything. It’s about getting your movement patterns again which gradually come. “I don’t go into a game half-heartedly, because you want to get back to 100 per
cent. You don’t think about the first challenge or the first pass. The injury is out of my mind. If you worry about it on the pitch it’s always going to hold you back.” Last season, Cummings competed with Carlos Edwards for a place in the team until February. In their absences through injury Mahlon Romeo made his debut and it wasn’t long before he was the firstchoice right-back. But Cummings is philosophical about the challenge of winning his place back. “I haven’t been surprised with him, you could see his quality in the U21s,” Cummings said of his younger teammate. “Not everyone would have seen that but I did and the gaffer and other people did so in that sense it’s not a surprise. He’s a good player. “All competition is good competition because it means we strive to be the best that we can be and the bigger picture is that leads into better performances for the team. That’s the main goal, if the team does well everyone does well. “Everyone wants to play. My last game was against Oxford and now we’ve got Oxford this Saturday, things happen for a reason. “It would be nice to play or at least get into the squad, but that’s up to the gaffer to decide and we’ll go from there.”

NEIL HARRIS has a fully fit squad to choose from for the first time this season as Millwall travel to Oxford hoping to continue their upturn in form.
The Lions have won three of their last four games and have been boosted by the return of defenders Shaun Cummings and Shaun Hutchinson, who both played 90 minutes in the U23s’ 5-1 win over QPR on Monday. Coincidentally, Cummings’ last firstteam appearance was against Oxford in the second leg of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy semi-final in February. Hutchinson made vital late contributions despite only coming on as a late substitute against Fleetwood last Saturday and is in the frame to start his first game for Millwall this season.

JAMIE PHILPOT will learn more playing first-team football at Bromley than on the bench at Millwall, according to Lions boss Neil Harris.
Philpot joined the National League club last Friday on a 28-day deal and made his debut in their 2-1 defeat at Wrexham the following day. The 20-year-old centre-forward has made five appearances for Millwall this season, with his two starts coming in the League Cup and Football League Trophy. Philpot is one of three Millwall
If Harris decides he needs Hutchinson’s bulk and his defensive presence and organisation at set-pieces, then he will have a selection dilemma at left-back, with Tony Craig, Joe Martin and Shane Ferguson all options to start in that position. The earlier kick-off time of 1pm also means Millwall have to change their regular Saturday routine and travel to their destination the day before the game for an overnight stay. But Harris explained there are benefits to those arrangements. “It’s one we would have gone on the day but we’ll go the day before. Sometimes that helps the players because some of them have got kids on half-term staying up late. So sometimes it’s good to get away and have a settled night. “I like the away trips. I like the banter on the bus and at the hotel we can get everyone together and have a coffee in
the afternoon.” Oxford, who got promoted last season, are a point above Millwall in the League One table in fourteenth place. Michael Appleton’s side have won just two of their last nine games in all competitions, however, and Harris believes Millwall showed in the 2-1 win against Fleetwood that they are getting back towards their best. “Oxford are a good footballing side with some good players,” Harris said. “They’ve been a team that’s been on the up over the last eighteen months. “They’ve been a little bit up and down over the last few weeks as they try to find their feet in the division. But they’re a dangerous side so it’s going to be a tough game as ever at this level. “We’ll have to defend every bit as well as we did last week and use the ball with quality going forward. We look a
players currently out on loan. David Forde is Portsmouth’s first-choice goalkeeper, while Paris Cowan-Hall has played seven games at Wycombe after an injury-hit spell with the Lions. Bromley could opt to extend Philpot’s deal, and Harris felt it was the right time to expose him to regular first-team football with Neil Smith’s side. “If you look at cases like Fordey, who’s at the other end of his career, he wants to play all the time,” Harris said. “However much I wanted to keep David and have him around the
place you have to say he deserves the right to go and play. “With the youngsters it’s a similar story. Jamie has been very much part of my squad, he’s had a couple of starts in the cups, he’s come off the bench a couple of times. But how is he going to develop if he’s going to be on the bench or going to be the 19th man for the next couple of months? “It’s a real fine line at the moment. We’re trying to find our feet, like all clubs, and get the balance between letting players go out for a period and making sure we’ve got enough cover.
very dangerous side when we do what we’re good at. There were moments last week when we looked more composed on the ball. “When we went in front by two goals, and even at 2-1, we had some great passages of play. The boys have started playing with more freedom again and with confidence and belief, and that’s important. “But when we play like that we have to be more consistent over 90 minutes. When we do that we’re a difficult team to play against.” Harris also has plenty of competition in front of his defence. Aiden O’Brien was taken off against Fleetwood and his place in the starting XI could come under threat if Hutchinson starts and Ferguson plays further forward. Oxford, who won 2-0 at The Den last season before losing 1-0 at The Kassam Stadium in those JPT ties, will again be
Time was right for Jamie to make move
“We got to the stage with Aiden O’Brien and Harry Smith back fit and Alfie Pavey back from Bromley when we thought it was the right time for Jamie to go out for 28 days initially, to go and get some experience. “Ultimately you learn more playing men’s games than you do at any training session or U23s game.” Meanwhile, Harris said Forde and Cowan-Hall have not been given permission to play in the FA Cup first round (on November 5), but that could change after further discussion between the clubs.

without Ryan Ledson and Rob Hall. Appleton’s side drew 2-2 at Port Vale last week when they conceded a fourth penalty of the season. Lee Gregory, who has scored five of Millwall’s eight successful penalties this season, scored the winner when the sides met in February.

SHAUN HUTCHINSON recognises he faces a battle to win his place in the Millwall side.
Hutchinson made just his second appearance of the season when he came on as a late substitute against Fleetwood last weekend. Millwall’s 2-1 win was their third in their last four games and they are showing signs that they have
recovered from the poor run in September that saw them plummet to just outside the relegation zone in League One. Hutchinson has had a frustrating start to his Millwall career, with three injury setbacks delaying his full competitive debut. Byron Webster and Tony Craig have been Neil Harris’ regular central defensive pairing, but the former Fulham defender has worked on his fitness to ensure he is fully prepared to make an impression when he gets his chance. “I’m going to keep working hard but with the team winning three out
of the last four there’s not really much you can do to get into the side,” Hutchinson said. “But hopefully once the time comes and the gaffer gives me a chance I’m as ready as I can be to play my part and do what I can for the club.” Hutchinson has featured in each of the last three games for Millwall’s U23s. He played 90 minutes for Justin Skinner’s side on Monday in their 5-1 win at QPR, the first time he completed a full competitive fixture since Fulham’s 1-0 win over Bolton on May 7. And he believes that has been ideal groundwork as he settles at

the club. Hutchinson said: “It does give you a bit of confidence when you’ve played three games and won three games. We’ve had two clean sheets as well, all these things build confidence and help you. “There is the same mindset in the U23s as the first team and they play the same way. I think that’s the right thing to do because if these boys get the chance they want to know what they’re getting themselves into and what to do in the first team. “That’s the style of play the gaffer wants here.”
For the second time this season, the 21-year-old defender has been the subject of newspaper rumours that the Premier League club are preparing a bid to bring him to London Stadium. Romeo has made sixteen appearances in all competitions for the Lions this season and a report in the Mirror claimed Hammers boss Slaven Bilic was lining up a bid for him. Reports said West Ham sent scouts to The Den last Saturday to watch Romeo in action in his side’s 2-1 win over Fleetwood. Romeo began his career at Arsenal before making one appearance for Gillingham. He was snapped up by Millwall in the summer of 2015 after being released by the Gills. He got his break when injuries to Shaun Cummings and Carlos Edwards ruled them out, and he has made a total of 34 first-team appearances since his goalscoring debut at Walsall in February, nailing down the right-back spot with a series of powerful performances. That has reportedly interested Millwall’s bitter rivals, but Harris said he is unaware of any interest in Romeo. He said: “I’ve not even considered it, all I know is West Ham haven’t officially been at our fixtures.”
