“NIP INTO your local” urges Bermondsey and Old Southwark MP, Neil Coyle, as Southwark pubs face threats of being developed into flats.

With 27 pubs shutting

across the UK every week, the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), local drinkers and MP Neil took part in a pub crawl from The China Hall to the Gladstone Arms on the weekend to show their support. Now calls are being made for other residents to do the same, to encourage Southwark Council to act to protect our boozers.

Editorial How will hospital ‘chains’ affect Southwark patients?

UY’S AND St Thomas’ is leading the way in new NHS plans to create hospital ‘chains’ - where specialist equipment and staff can be shared.

G

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) began a trial of the scheme with Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust in January 2015, and it has been declared a success.

The success means that the scheme could be rolled out further.

Simon Stevens, chief exec of NHS England, has said that the scheme will benefit patients, as the best hopsitals will be delivering services inside others. GSTT gave an example of how Dartford and Gravesham is working with Evelina London Children’s Hospital - part of GSTT and based on the grounds of St Thomas’ - to bring specialist care closer to home for families.

Amanda Pritchard, the chief executive of GSTT, also said that the announcement might be the opportunity to ‘extend’ the collaboration.

But what we ask is: how will this scheme affect residents of Southwark?

Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Evelina London are some of the best hospitals in the country and we’re privileged to have them in our area. They obviously attract some of the best doctors, specialists and nurses from around the world to work in them - and this is what NHS England wants to share with hospitals in nearby Kent. We can see why - it’s great for patients in Kent who may otherwise be forced to travel in to London to receive the best treatment.

But such amazing staff and equipment are obviously a finite resource. How will sharing them with hospitals in Kent affect the services that would otherwise have been offered more locally to us? Does it mean that there will be fewer appointments available locally, as medics and equipment are being sent to Kent? Will some services be moved out to Kent?

Last week we reported that health bosses from Southwark’s Clinical Commission Group (CCG) were proposing options for the future of planned adult orthopaedic surgery. The CCG has said it wants to stop offering planned surgery across seven sites, and instead name two hospitals as orthopaedic centres where elective surgery will be carried out for patients from south east London. There are six options offering configurations of south east London hospitals to act as these centres, a mixture of Kent and local sites. One option is to have both centres in Kent - so it’s clear that asking patients to travel to Kent is possible.

The News will put these questions to GSTT, and wil hopefully receive answers for next week’s paper.

Essential numbers

The Southwark News is proud to be the only independent, paid for newspaper in London.

It is owned and run by two Managing Directors, Chris Mullany and Kevin Quinn. Former reporters for Southwark News, they and David Ellis bought the title in 2002, after the founder Dave Clark died suddenly from cancer four years earlier.

Southwark News started life as the Bermondsey News in 1987, as an A-4 photocopied sheet of paper and rapidly grew to cover the entire borough and the surrounding area. As the borough grew, so did the newspaper.

Both directors live in the borough. A dedicated team of staff work tirelessly to cover as much of what is going on as possible and strive to ensure that a community-led, independent newspaper can survive and excel in a market dominated by national and multinational media groups.

Ballet on a bike anyone?

Performance group looking for local riders to take part in show celebrating women and cycling

By Alex Yeates alex@southwarknews.co.uk

THIRTY FEMALE cyclists across Southwark are wanted to join Blazing Saddles, an outdoor performance of Bicycle Ballet to celebrate women, cycling and fashion.

Commissioned by Southwark Council, Blazing Saddles is set to debut in Dulwich on September 17, and will feature local women cycling through history to the present day.

The Blazing Saddles Show will be

part choreographed and part improvised using humour and choreographic structures based around movement. Inspiration for the show comes from the 19th century, when cycling was at the forefront of movements for women’s equality.

Women are said to have “embraced the independence and the freedom of cycling, to huge consternation and public outcry”.

Karen Poley, Creative Producer for Bicycle Ballet, said: “Inspired by the past, the show seeks to explore some of the reasons why women do and

don’t ride bikes today, and bring people together in a fun, supportive and sociable way, to transform the way women think about cycling.

“This is why it is so important that local women and their bikes are the show performers, bringing their experiences to the show’s creation.”

The next rehearsal is on September 7 from 6pm-8pm and a location will be announced nearer the time.

Guy’s branches out to Kent as it leads way for new ‘chain’ hospitals EXCLUSIVE

By Owen Sheppard owen@southwarknews.co.uk

A ‘VANGUARD’ relationship between Guy’s and St Thomas’ with Dartford and Gravesham hospitals is set to become the prototype for the creation of new hospital ‘chains’ across England.

NHS England, which runs the health service, has announced that new chains between hospitals could see specialist equipment and staff shared between various NHS trusts.

A “five-year-forward-view” to apply this idea across the country began with a successful trial on Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), and Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust in January 2015.

Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England said the plan would benefit patients because it would see some of the NHS’s best hospitals delivering services “inside” others.

A spokesperson for GSTT said: “Clinicians across vascular, cardiology and children’s services are working to consider what more they could do to improve patient care and test how beneficial the Foundation

Healthcare Group could be for patients, clinicians and the sustainability of local services.

“For example, Dartford and Gravesham is working with Evelina London Children’s Hospital – part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ – to bring specialist care closer to home for families.

“Care will be co-ordinated by specialist teams to offer the best experience and results for children and families, no matter where they live, while ensuring local services are supported and financially sustainable.”

Amanda Pritchard, chief exec of GSTT said the announcement might be an opportunity to “extend” the collaboration to include other health care providers in future.

“We see this as complementary to our ongoing commitment to work closely with our partners here in south east London, and from further afield,” Ms Pritchard said.

A statement on the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust website states that for patients in Kent, it means “fewer trips to hospitals with cancer and dementia specialists”.

NHS England hopes the merge will “improve outcomes and access, reduce costs,” while innovating to meet to “meet increasing demand”.

RESIDENTS URGE CLAMPDOWN ON PARTIES IN PARK ‘BBQ revellers creating noise, smoke and defecating in bushes’ EXCLUSIVE

By Alex Yeates alex@southwarknews.co.uk

LARGE GROUPS of boozed up revellers have been hosting barbeques, playing loud music and defecating in bushes in Burgess Park over the summer, claim residents, with one night leading to a meat cleaver being left in one of their bins.

Residents of Cobourg Road opposite the park have said bass music and laughter keeps them up all night, and have criticised both the police and Southwark Council for not putting an end to it.

One night when police sirens were heard, a meat cleaver was dumped into one of the resident’s bins as the group scattered, it is claimed.

The barbeques are said to be so large residents are forced to keep windows shut during heatwaves to prevent their houses stinking of food.

The residents spoke to the News anonymously for fear of their safety, and described the partygoers as having “no respect”.

One resident said: “People were in the bushes and just exposing themselves.

They park outside your house so you can’t get a space and then get hostile about it.

“The smoke is so large you can’t open your windows because of the smell.

You’re not meant to have a BBQ there as it is, and no one moves them on. I think people are too frightened to move them.

“We want people to take action now otherwise it will get to September and it will stop and then summer will come back around and it will start again.

“I have to put in ear phones at night so I can get to sleep. I have to ask myself “what room will I sleep in tonight” whenever I get home.”

Burgess Park currently stays open to the public all night and despite there being occasional warden patrols, residents say they haven’t managed to

A cleaver found in bin

stop the “anti-social behaviour”.

Another resident said that they have seen families come to enjoy the park but have “turned around to leave once they saw what was going on”.

Burgess Park was the scene of a large water fight turned stabbing in July, as more and more people organise meetups online.

The News approached Southwark Council for a comment, but received no response by the time of going to press.

BOROUGH

Box of Victorian documents left in street for binmen gets donated to local history library Surrey Quays’ BHS to close on Sunday ROTHERHITHE: Surrey Quays’ BHS store is due to shut on Sunday as the last 35 stores nationwide close by the weekend.

One of the last to go, the Rotherhithe clothes shop will join a list of 128 stores that have already been boarded up, including the flagship outlet on Oxford Street.

The closure comes with a loss of up to 11,000 jobs around the country and is the result of administrators Duff and Phelps being unable to find a buyer.

BHS fell into administration earlier this year after its £571m pension deficit started to take its toll on the business.

Dave Gill, Usdaw National Officer, said: “This announcement is the final hammer blow to BHS staff, who have been worried about their future for over a year since the company was sold for £1 and more recently put in the hands of the administrators.”

A BIG box of old Victorian documents, some from 1885, left out for bin men on Borough High Street this week, were rescued by a passerby and handed into Southwark’s Local History Library Adam Smith was on a bus travelling through Borough when he saw people going through the abandoned boxes outside Field & Sons, a real estate agent, and decided to get off to have a look.

He said: “Ever the sucker for a box of interesting things I rang the bell and hot-footed it back from London Bridge to take a look for myself.

“What I found astonished me. In grubby cardboard boxes, amongst rubble and broken glass, were hundreds of plans, documents, blueprints and maps.

“I opened up an old bank safe to find a stack of invoices from 1885, I

unfolded a map of a 1911 housing estate and rolled out a beautifully coloured plan for a Victorian orphanage.

“There, on the pavement, under the grey south London drizzle, was a whole heap of London’s social history, left to the elements and the bin men.”

Adam decided to take as many of the old documents as he could home before deciding they would be better

off at the Local History Library.

A Local Library History spokesman said: “We were really excited to receive the items which Adam brought in. In particular a beautiful page of architectural drawings from the late 1800s shows the north wing of Charlotte Sharman's orphanage in West Square, which is now part of the Imperial War Museum.

“This is a really fantastic addition to the archives. There were also two

folders containing plans and correspondence. Some of the material brought in relates to areas outside Southwark and we will speak with Adam about where these may be more appropriately kept.

“Situations such as this highlight the fact archive staff can’t be everywhere in the borough at once. We count on the help of Southwark residents to protect and preserve the heritage of the area.

“We are always more than happy to provide recordkeeping advice to local residents and organisations, and if anyone has any concerns about historic documents or would like to know more about how to put records into our custody for safekeeping, then please drop in to see us on Borough High Street, or get in touch with us at LHLibrary@southwark.gov.uk” The documents previously belonged to Field & Sons, who told the News that they were thrown out after the British Museum and British Heritage had taken a look.

YOUR PUB NEEDS YOU! EXCLUSIVE

By Alex Yeates alex@southwarknews.co.uk

DRINKERS HELD a community pub crawl last weekend to highlight boozers across the borough at risk of closing down and being turned into flats.

Organised by the South East London branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), concerned residents travelled from The China Hall in Lower Road, Rotherhithe, to the Gladstone Arms in Borough, stopping at other watering holes along the way.

The China Hall was chosen as the start to raise support for efforts to have it become an Asset of Community Value (ACV) after two previous unsuccessful applications, as fears grow over whether its lease will be renewed in the near future.

The crawl ended at the Glad, already an ACV, to show support for the popular backstreet pub, which is owned by a property company that previously applied for planning permission to turn it into flats. Steve Silcock, chair of the South East London branch of CAMRA, said: “For too long now pubs have been seen as an easy target by property developers, exacerbated in London by high residential property values, and resulting in popular and successful pubs being forced to close.

“The final pub we visited, the Gladstone

Arms in Borough, is a much loved backstreet pub with a huge commitment to live music.

“Owned by a property company, we and the local community successfully fought off a planning application for demolition

and succeeded in getting the Glad registered as an ACV. “However, it is clear the battle is not yet won as we understand the current tenant has only a short period remaining on their lease and so the focus of the campaign

now shifts to ensuring the owner agrees a sensible new lease to ensure this great venue continues to operate.”

The MP for Bermondsey and Old Southwark, Neil Coyle, joined the crawl to show support for the declining number of pubs in the area.

MP Neil said: “It was great to introduce people to some fantastic local waterholes and I think it’s safe to say we had some fun as well as highlighting the risk that

remains hanging over The Glad in Borough and the China Hall on Lower Road.

“Southwark Council has moved quickly on The Glad but seems to have set the bar a little higher for the China Hall sadly.

“Written testimonials are still required for the China Hall so if you’re reading this and haven’t already signed the petition and provided your statement then please do drop into the pub soon.”

Man accepts ball theft caution BERMONDSEY: A Millwall fan who was arrested for taking a match football out of The Den, was released after accepting a caution for theft.

The 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of theft following the Millwall vs Sheffield United match last weekend.

News of the arrest was published on the MPS Lewisham twitter account and was roundly criticised by fellow fans.

The Lewisham MPS twitter account tweeted after the arrest: “A male has been arrested for theft of the match ball @MillwallFC after it was kicked off and he took it out of the stadium.”

As online criticism mounted, they later added: “@MillwallFC are fully supporting the police course action. This sort of behaviour is not acceptable at @MillwallFC. “What made it worse is that the man was with his young son. #Unacceptable behaviour.”

Council extends consultation SOUTHWARK: The council has extended the consultation period for the Draft Old Kent Road Area Action Plan to November 4.

This is the second time the council has increased the consultation period.

The draft proposals include locations for 20,000 new homes and proposals for two new Bakerloo Line tube stations. www.southwark.gov.uk/oldkentroada ap

LOVEBIRDS MARK 61 YEARS

By Alex Yeates alex@southwarknews.co.uk

TWO BERMONDSEY lovebirds celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary this month at the Bluegrove House care home.

Paul, 86, and Mary, 92, Whalley celebrated their anniversary with relatives and friends, cutting their celebratory cake at a party held for them by the care home.

Paul and Mary have lived in Bermondsey for the past two years, after they moved from Wales to be closer to their family.

PECKHAM

MP Harman declares support for Owen Smith owen@southwarknews.co.uk

CAMBERWELL AND Peckham MP Harriet Harman has declared her support for Owen Smith over Jeremy Corbyn, ahead of next month’s Labour leadership election.

Harman said in a post via her website that voting for Smith (who was Labour’s shadow work and pensions spokesman before June 27) would be “fundamental for the prospect of a progressive future for our country”.

The two-time former interim Labour leader wrote: “I believe Owen Smith recognises what I believe to be the case. That it is our duty to protect people from the unfairness and the reactionary policies of the Tories.

That it is only with a Labour government that we can do that and that only Labour will make the changes which challenge entrenched inequality, prejudice and discrimination.

“The job of the leader of the party is to unite us and take us towards that. It is clear that Jeremy Corbyn cannot unite

the party. The party has become deeply divided under his leadership. We have seen that both at national and at local level here in Camberwell and Peckham.

A leader cannot blame others for division. The buck stops with the leader.

“I believe with Owen Smith for leader we can get on track to put our progressive principles into practice. I will be voting for him and I hope you will too.”

Ballot papers were distributed to Labour members on Monday, ahead of the party’s election result on September 24. Labour members have until September 21 to vote.

Harman’s choice of candidate comes despite

the result of a vote held within the Camberwell and Peckham constituency Labour Party, in which local members voted 108:93 in favour of Corbyn, the MP for Islington North.

Today also saw an announcement by Kezia Dugdale, leader of the Scottish Labour Party, that she will support Smith. London mayor Sadiq Khan stated his preference for the Smith, the MP for Pontypridd, in an interview with the Observer newspaper on Sunday.

Bermondsey and Old Southwark MP Neil Coyle told the News last week he too will be supporting Owen Smith, after he resigned from Corbyn’s team the week after the EU referendum result was declared.

Couple cycle US for stillbirth charity after losing daughter Orla

By Owen Sheppard owen@southwarknews.co.uk

A PECKHAM couple who three months ago were mourning their baby daughter’s stillbirth have found courage from their grief, and are now cycling their way from Canada to California for charity.

Andy and Michelle Cottle felt traumatised when their little girl’s life was “snatched away” from them, before it had even begun.

Everything leading up to the 37th week of Michelle’s pregnancy had run smoothly. But it was the eleventh hour when their midwife confirmed the worst of any parent’s fears.

On May 3, Michelle, 34, gave birth to her stillborn daughter, Orla.

“Within moments,” Michelle said, “everything we had been lovingly hoping and preparing for was snatched away from us. It’s as though our whole world came crashing down around our ears.

“To find out your baby has died is completely and utterly devastating.

Nothing could ever prepare you for the shock, trauma and desolation you feel when you are told ‘I’m so sorry, there is no heartbeat’.”

Amidst the heartbreak came a search for answers; a need to “find some sort of meaning out of the tragedy”.

Then, just four days after their return from hospital, the brave couple set up a fundraising page for the charity Sands (Stillbirths and Neonatal Deaths).

Today, Andy is speeding down the spine of the US on his bike, on an eight-week 2,000 mile ride from Vancouver to San Diego to raise £10,000 for Sands.

They set off in August 15, with Michelle driving beside her husband in a support vehicle.

Andy, 44, said his only training had been “cycling to work” and “a couple of threeday cycle trips in France and Wales”.

“The scenery really helps with the

motivation – as does thinking of Orla and why we are doing this.

“I’m doing no more than four days, then having one day off and averaging around 55 miles a day. We are staying in motels.

Food is never a problem in the States as the portions are huge.”

The couple say they were shocked by what little is known medically about the causes of stillbirths.

“We have learnt that it’s mainly through the work of charities such as Sands that research is being done to try and understand why this happens,” said Michelle, a psychologist.

“This was a real motivator for us to share ours and Orla’s story.

“We spent a lot of time researching stillbirth – looking at the terrible rates that the UK has. Around seventeen babies will die every day in the UK [within four weeks of birth]. Nearly two thirds of all full-term stillbirths are classified as ‘unexplained’.

“To not be able to have an answer as to why your child died is horrific.”

Two-hundred-and-four sponsors have donated over £8,000 since their JustGiving launched on May 7. Visit www.justgiving.com/orla-cottle to donate to the couple’s cause.

Officers were called to the scene at 4:40pm on Sunday after a brown bag was seen at a bus stop near the Sainsbury’s.

The road was then closed while an investigation was carried out, with a controlled explosion taking place later on. After the all clear was given, a member of the public waiting for a bus saw pesto and bread splattered around the area of where the package had been.

‘Elephant scheme created 500 jobs’ Yusuf, 35: ‘Anyone can change their life... the street life is a myth’

By Owen Sheppard owen@southwarknews.co.uk

THE DEVELOPER behind the £2billion Elephant Park has told the News it helped create jobs for 500 Southwark residents since 2013.

Australia-based Lendlease were chosen by Southwark Council in 2007 to deliver the 593 on the former site of the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle.

The company said 247 of these jobs had gone to unemployed people, including some former Heygate Estate residents. It added that 121 people had gone from long-term unemployment into at least six months of sustained

employment on the project.

Rob Heasman, Lendlease’s project director for Elephant and Castle, said: “Providing employment and training opportunities to local people in Southwark is a direct benefit of the transformation our development is bringing to the Elephant and Castle.

“We’re really pleased to have been able to help local people looking to work in construction, either by providing them with full-time jobs on their doorstep, or by equipping them with the skills they need to secure opportunities across the wealth of construction projects underway across the borough.”

Mark Williams, Southwark Council’s cabinet member for regeneration and

new homes, said: “The regeneration of Elephant and Castle is delivering real benefits for local residents, including new affordable homes and the new Castle Leisure Centre which is now open.

“We are working closely with Lendlease to provide jobs for our residents and it’s great news that 500 Southwark residents have now worked on site, with nearly half being previously unemployed.

“It is great that so many people have already been able to take advantage of the opportunities offered through the regeneration of the Elephant and Castle and many more will be able to gain valuable experience and skills as the development continues.”

T H I R T Y- F I V E - y e a r - o l d Peckham man Yusuf Kamara has told the News how a career in construction has got him back on his feet after returning from jail.

After three years in HM Prison Durham for a drug offence, he was thrown a life-line in 2013 by Lendlease’s non-profit organisation Be Onsite. The former Heygate resident is now a lift operator at Elephant Park, and says he is the one “happy and laughing”.

“In prison I had a lot of time to think,” said Yusuf, who travelled to London from Sierra Leone as a child.

“The time after prison was difficult.

Coming out of it and suddenly going to work at 8am every day was a hard transition. But once you set your mind

to something you can change your life.

“That’s what I tell my friends who are in prison now. These are guys who started on the street like me. When I see my old boys I grew up with I tell them the hood life is a myth.

“Now I’m here I’ve got money and new friends from work. I’m reaping the rewards. I’m the man of the house looking after my mum and brothers and sisters. I’ve gained a trade, learnt new skills, and am now being asked to help train new recruits.

“I see this new life building this estate and helping my old friends to train here after getting out of jail as my way of giving back.

“Anyone can change their life. I would say, to anyone reading this, the street life is a myth.”

A CAMBERWELL couple have gone viral after being photographed with their T-shirt emblazoned with ‘More blacks, more dogs, more Irish.’

Irishman Richard O’Gorman, 36, designed the T-shirt for himself six years ago, and the once dormant idea came back to life when musician DJ Swiss from So Solid Crew shared a picture of himself and Richard wearing the T-shirt on Instagram.

The T-shirt went viral across the world after Richard was photographed wearing the T-shirt with his girlfriend of Jamaican descent Taurayne McKen, 28, in Brixton.

Construction worker Richard said: “With this we decided to take it serious and get the message out there while there was so much hostility among people in the world in today’s current clime, both here in England and across the waters in America.

“We felt there was a need to bring people together and put a positive twist on the well-known negative slogan.”

The story was shared by the Irish Post in London, an Irish paper in America and as far away as Jamaica.

Richard O'Gorman and Taurayne McKen

T-shirts have now been sold in Ireland, the UK, and even South Africa, Tokyo, New Zealand and Australia.

SOUTHWARK: The annual free bonfire night fireworks display will be back with a bang for its thirteenth year on November 5, Southwark Council announced this week.

A percentage of the T-shirt sales will be donated to the Camden Irish community centre and the Black Cultural Archive in Brixton.

BURGLARS TARGETED two houses in Dulwich last week by crawling through unlocked windows during the night.

Both incidents happened on August 17 while the occupants were sleeping.

At 5.41am a suspect attempted to break into a house North Cross Road, only to be disturbed by the occupant, who told the

police they had heard noises coming from downstairs. Nothing was taken from the house. Police were later called to a house in Goodrich Road at 8.20am, after a family awoke to find a number of their belongings missing. A spokesman for the Met Police told the News the “suspects” appeared to have gained entry via a back door and window left open.

So far no arrests have been made.

‘I collapsed at work and woke up paralysed’

Southwark News, Thursday August 25, 2016

Bermondsey man now penning a book looking at ‘humorous and positive side’ of spinal injury

By Alex Yeates alex@southwarknews.co.uk

A BERMONDSEY man who suddenly became paralysed at work has spoken about how he wanted to “die” when he woke up in hospital but defied the odds to survive and write a ‘positive book’ on his experience.

Gavin Mullen, 52, was at work helping people relocate to the UK three years ago

when he got a headache and collapsed to the floor. Later he was told that he’d suffered an unexplained spinal bleed, which would leave him paralysed from head-to-toe.

He was rushed to the Royal London Hospital where he stayed for five months before undergoing rehab at the Stanmore Spinal Injury Centre, to regain control of his right side.

“I was perfectly healthy and at work with no symptoms whatsoever of

anything being wrong. Then I had a sudden headache and my spinal cord just started to bleed.

“They called an ambulance and they got there in about fifteen or twenty minutes but by that stage I lost a lot of my mobility and during the course of the afternoon lost everything else,” said Gavin.

“I was put in a coma. When I woke up and realised I was paralysed all I wanted to do was die. Initially the doctors gave me 48 hours to live and they didn’t think

I would make it but I damn well did.”

Gavin said that a positive attitude helped him to rebuild his strength and beat his doctors’ expectations.

He said: “Everything the doctors thought was going to happen I just defied. They said this is how my life is going to be and I just defied it. Having a positive attitude helps.

“What I could not get over was that there were people young and old who were so negative. I used to get into arguments with them about trying to be

more positive.”

Now, with the help of the spinal cord injury charity Aspire, Gavin is looking to write a book about his injury, to help educate others.

“I’ve started a book which is aimed at the more humorous side and positive side of spinal injury. I knew nothing about it when it happened and I thought every wheelchair was the same, but now I know that every wheelchair is different.

“I think a positive, open and honest book will be good for people,” he said.

Arts group takes over historic library and baths

By Owen Sheppard owen@southwarknews.co.uk

A 113-year-old baths and library building in the heart of Burgess Park will be transformed into a theatre venue by a young arts group.

Theatre Delicatessen swung open the grade-II-listed Passmore Edwards Library’s doors on Saturday during the Camberwell Fair, and showed off their new home to the public.

The group’s co-artistic director Roland Smith told the News they would like to start their first performances and community workshops next month.

“We would really like to prove our worth and build with the local c o m m u n i t y, ” Roland said.

“We secured a two-year tenancy from the council and started work on the building in July.”

Artist Ben Carlin was on hand on Saturday for demos of his virtual reality production, contained inside a huge wooden cube.

One of the first community projects they want to develop is an eightweek aerial-circus training course, and more classes in improvisation, theatre and dance.

The Victorian hall in Wells Way, which once housed a baths in its basement, and is currently shared by the Lynn Athletic Boxing Club, will be split into three sections: a screening room, rehearsal room and

NEWS 17

a performance room. In all, Roland said the venue could squeeze an audience of 80 to 100.

Forthcoming productions set to reside in the old library also include Casson and Friends with their performance ‘The Dance WE Made’, and Collectif And Then’s performance of ‘The Machine’, which will be staged September 17 to October 8.

Roland said: “We have been working in large commercial spaces like office blocks around central London, so we’re really looking forward to trying out a smaller more intimate venue like this with a lot of character. We would also like to develop large-scale projects in Burgess Park.

“You’ve got so many different communities around the park, whether it’s the new development in Elephant and Castle or the artistic groups in Peckham and Camberwell, and we hope to engage with as many groups as possible.”

Councillor Johnson Situ, Southwark Council cabinet member for business, employment and culture, said: “Investing in arts and culture is tougher than ever for local councils but we are really pleased to be able to welcome Theatre Delicatessen to Old Wells Way Library over the next two years.

“Their plans to turn it into a creative hub that the whole community can enjoy are really exciting and I’m looking forward to seeing local people get involved.”

Completion of the new facility at Maudsley Hospital has been stalled while plans are scrutinised by a joint healthscrutiny committee of councillors from Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Croydon. Plans for the new 24/7 facility followed disclosures from the Met Police that an alarming number of patients were being detained in cells due to a lack of space in London’s psychiatric wards.

The new place of safety will include specialist accommodation for six patients at a time, whilst serving all four boroughs.

It will replace the current system, in which each of the four boroughs has its own separate place of safety, with space for only one patient.

However the News understands that South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) ordered this new facility to be built in late 2015, without consulting the four councils.

Committee member and East Walworth ward councillor Rebecca Lury said: “We called it in in March to ask them for their plans on a few issues which we

[Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Croydon councils] hadn’t been told about.

“They had not devised a plan on who would pay for the costs of transporting patients to the boroughs or how this was going to be staffed and how patients would be looked after and how this facility would be suitable for children as we as adults.”

Representatives from the Trust were asked by the committee of councillors in April to present fully formed plans to them at a meeting which is expected to take place in late September or October. Although not completed, the trust’s staff have been offering tours of the new place of safety to consultees, including members of the Southwark Pensioners’Action Group.

A SLaM spokesman said the aim of the “purpose built” 24/7 facility at Maudsley was to ensure that mental health assessments were: “carried out speedily and by a team with specific expertise in the field, and that the environment in which people are received is modern, welcoming and fit for purpose for all ages including children and young people”.

“Subject to the proposals being approved by the joint health scrutiny committee and the Trust’s Board in September and October, we are hoping to open the new suite later in the autumn,” the spokesman said. “We took our proposals to the joint health scrutiny committee in April this year. They acknowledged the work we had done so far and asked the Trust to engage further with local authorities, patients and patient groups.”

St Saviour’s head: ‘I’m absolutely delighted’ ST MICHAEL’S Catholic College celebrated the highest number of students getting their first choices at University on A-Level results day.

The college revealed 73 per cent of students achieved an A*-B grade while the total number of A*-B grades awarded

stands at 43 per cent, with 99 per cent achieving A*-E. A spokesperson said: “An exciting day for St Michael’s College. Students were buoyant, staff delighted and hard work rewarded with the success achieved by our students across the full range of

academic and vocational subjects.

“These achievements reflect the brilliant efforts of the students themselves, the support of their parents alongside the commitment of the outstanding teaching and support staff at St Michael’s.”

JAGS: ‘Outstanding results’ THE YOUNG women at James Allen’s Girls’ School (JAGS) have been stacking up the A* grades.

Thirty-eight per cent of JAGS students earned an A*, 83 per cent had an A*-A, while 96 per cent had at least one B grade or higher.

Deputy head girl Katherine Gray will move onto an Engineering scholarship with her four A*s. Oxford University-bound

student, Isabella (right), will study English, having earned second place in the annual Newnham College Woolf Essay competition. Hattie Seymour has also been awarded a scholarship to the US before she goes to Downing College, Cambridge, to read Geography in 2017.

Headmistress Sally-Anne Huang said: “These are outstanding results. There is something very special going on here at

JAGS which comes from a combination of hard work and inspiration on the part of both our pupils and our staff.”

ST SAVIOUR’S and St Olave’s School achieved close to 60 per cent of grades being A* to B; 30 per cent of grades were at either A* or A. Top performers include Chloe Lennon (A*A*A) who will take up a place at Goldsmith’s, Sharon Darkwa (A*AA) who will study Medicine, Natasha Basham (A*AC) who will study Veterinary Science whilst Precious Ogu (A*AB) will take up a place at university in Connecticut, USA. Commenting on her results, Precious said: “St Saviour’s & St Olave’s School has really shaped me and given me brilliant support during my seven years here. It has helped me to mature and

given me a great grounding for the future.”

Headteacher, Catherine May, said: “I am absolutely delighted with these results.

Our girls are going to study at top universities, in the UK and abroad, and are accessing great opportunities in the world of work. This reflects their hard work, the commitment of their teachers and the support of their families.”

Head of Sixth Form, John Breslin, said: “This confirms my belief that whether you are aiming for the best universities or the most prestigious industry placements, St Saviour’s girls have shown that with hard work and commitment, you can achieve these goals.”

HELEN HAYES MP for Dulwich & West Norwood

Southwark Council – get on your bike!

IVE MILLION kilometres is the astonishing estimated annual mileage Southwark Council employees drive on our roads every year.

Councils should be able open schools

F

This is the equivalent of about 970,000 kilogrammes of C02 emissions every year from the 310 cars, small vans and 3.5 tonne tipper-vans the council leases for its staff. This is totally unacceptable in light of the planet’s soaring temperatures.

The estimated cost is £2 million every year or four times the tiny amount Southwark spends on safer cycling.

This column highlighted recent research showing Southwark has the highest number of schools with air-pollution breaking EU safety levels.

Transport pollution is stunting our kids’ lungs for life. It is causing a horrific asthma epidemic and is a leading cause of deaths via lung and heart diseases in the borough.

So here is a suggestion that would save residents lives, save money and protect staff health.

Tell them to get on their bikes!

Southwark is only about 2.5 miles wide and 6 miles long, the equivalent of a small island. The vast majority of staff journey’s can be cycled in ten to twenty minutes.

Everywhere you look, from trafficenforcement to parks workers, staff are riding around on expensive tax-payer funded motorised vehicles, lethally poisoning residents and damaging kids’ lungs.

Cargo-bikes could easily carry out most of the transport-functions for park staff and there is no reason why Southwark’s parking enforcement team cannot be on bikes. Other boroughs have done this and the police are using more bikes.

There are specially adapted bikes that disabled staff could use and cycling would hugely help prolong the lives of older staff.

To be fair, cargo bikes would not be able to do the work of the tipper vans but these need to be converted from toxic diesel to electric engines.

And we residents need to reduce the amount of bulk waste we dump, to reduce the need for the tipper-vans in the first place.

So come on Southwark, lead by example. This is a win, win, win suggestion. Healthier staff, healthier residents and a healthier planet.

Yes You Can!

YOUR PUB NEEDS YOU! Rotherhithe sold out THE DOCKLANDS Settlement are putting up the pitch prices so £5 pounds a hour is now £7 pounds.

I have two grandsons, so it will cost us nearly £100 per term.

How can we keep on paying?

The settlement is going to put them up again in January.

Southwark Council have sold Rotherhithe to the highest bidder and the kids have nowhere to go, if their parents have not got the money to pay for them to play football.

The new Fisher football pitch in Salter Road should be open to the local kids to train on and give our kids a chance to get on.

The Docklands Settlement should be for local people, not just the ones that can afford to pay the high prices.

Corbyn leader geezer YOU FEATURED Bermondsey and Old Southwark Labour MP Mr. Coyle (Southwark News 18th August) backing 'Give Me a break Owen Smith' as his (a completely unknown Welsh MP) as Labour leader.

I say to 'Old MP Neil Coyle of Southwark' “Problem is bruv we already have a much renowned, well known Right Honourable Jeremy Corbyn MP as leader of HM's opposition Labour Party” who thousands upon thousands up and down the land support as the honestto-goodness Labour London and national geezer to vote for.

And, then we see Camberwell and Peckham MP 'Harriet in her rickety Blairite chariot' also trying to persuade her constituent Labour members to support the likes of an unknown Welsh bloke we've never heard of before.

Meanwhile, throughout Southwark constituencies Labour members and other of Harriet's constituents support wholeheartedly the Right Honourable Jeremy Corbyn MP to stay well and truly as London's and the nation's honest Labour Party leader geezer.

Alice Springs, Peckham

Listen to grass roots The ‘fact’ that Neil Coyle comes up with Owen Smith has the man for the job over Jeremy Corbyn just doesn't hold water.

For the first time since I can remember, we have a chance to have a leader elected to the Labour party who will represent the working class.

Why do the Blairites not listen to the grass roots?

I'll tell you why, because they have no class analysis, they are Liberals at best.

The Labour Party came into being, because of the greed of the capitalist class. Trade unions were formed to defend the working class from relentless exploitation of the owners.

Do Neil Coyle or Owen Smith have that "gut feeling" for the working class?

Don't think so, at this point in time the Tories have wrecked this country, we need a leader of the Labour Party to stop the rot and give people hope of a better life. Jeremy Corbyn is the only one to do that.

Kevin Barry, Blackheath

Lords stop trying to ruin Brexit IT IS hard to imagine a worse example of arrogant and brazen contempt for democracy, for elected MPs to attempt to derail Brexit and defy the clearly expressed will of 17.4 million leave voters.

See page 6 But now, coming from the House of Lords, a group of ‘unelected’ peers, led by Tory, exfinancial journalist Baroness Wheatcroft, are plotting ways to block Britain’s exit from the EU. Disregarding the referendum outcome, they plan to vote down Brexit laws, extract some token concessions from Brussels, force a second vote and secure a result more to their liking.

These people seem unable to understand that millions of people voted to leave the EU in order to restore proper controls over immigration.

It is now almost two months since the referendum, so is it too much to ask for just some of the remain supporters to acknowledge they lost on the 23rd June this year and instead start talking up this country.

After all, the worst predictions now look very foolish. Share prices are steady, the economy is still growing, borrowing costs are at a record low and firms such as Boeing and GlaxoSmith-Kline investing heavily in the UK. Far from crashing house prices remain on an upward path.

Sainsbury’s is now selling tea to the Chinese; a 540 million worldleading medical research centre is to be built in Hertfordshire in a partnership between Glaxo-SmithKline and Google, the facility will pioneer treatments in illness such as diabetes, arthritis and asthma.

Also, we have Indian housing development finance corporation, issuing the world’s first ‘Imasala’ bond in London raising 30 billion rupees (£340 million) in the process.

In the residential housing market, the business has a robust balance sheet and relatively low levels of debt, and is well positioned to navigate the current market conditions.

No point worrying about Brexit then!

Reg O’Donoghue, Walworth

CROSS SOUTHWARK thousands of young people have received their GCSE, AS and A level results in the last week – an exciting and nerve wracking time.

A

I hope that everyone reading this column achieved the results that you hoped for.

In just over a week’s time thousands more children will be starting primary school at the beginning of September for the first time, or transferring to their new secondary school. Southwark’s schools have changed immeasurably for the better since the election of the 1997 Labour government through the hard work of teachers, pupils, governors and parents.

The number of children and young people is rising across London as the capital’s population continues to grow, and there continues to be pressure on school places. It is one of my top priorities to ensure that every child in my constituency has access to a place at a good or outstanding school.

I am delighted that the hard campaigning work of parents and local councillors will come to fruition in September when the new Charter East Dulwich School opens in temporary accommodation, prior to moving to its permanent home on the Dulwich Hospital site. The planning applications for the permanent school and a new health centre on the Dulwich Hospital site were submitted last month and I encourage all local residents to submit their views via the council’s website.

The previous coalition government and the current Tory government have both failed to respond adequately to the need for more school places, often taking too little action far too late. The Free School programme is inefficient, bureaucratic, wasteful and simply not fit for purpose, leaving local councils in the absurd situation of having the responsibility to provide a place for every child that needs one, but no power to open new schools.

I am delighted to see high quality schools such as Charter and Dulwich Hamlet opening new schools to meet growing demand in our area, but our councils should also be able to open good local schools where they are needed - the current system leaves too much to chance.

946 reasons to see 946

KAY, SO I'm not going to fanny about making up some long-winded story before finally getting to the part where it 'gets good' and recommend you go! I'm just going to gush about a great night’s entertainment from the get go, writes Susan Hallissey...

O

I've told everyone I know to go and see 946: The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, co-adapted by Michael Morpurgo and Globe Artistic Director Emma Rice from

Morpurgo’s book. We all deserve the feel-good factor and this piece oozes it! Energetic, inventive, charming and funny, not to mention great live music and informative too! And if I was exhausted after this show the boisterous, multi-talented cast must be shattered!

I took my son, not a regular theatregoer but a lover of music.

As soon as we took our seats his foot was tapping to the band and he was captivated. Adebayo Bolaji sings and swings this piece into

action, not only with his voice but also his nifty footwork!

Katy Owen who plays 'Lily Tregenza' is surely set for big things; she recently impressed me in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

Owen's physicality is awesome, staring into the heart of the audience! Lily is the young girl who lives in Slapton, South Devon during the Second World War. Her cat Tips is her life and whilst 'townie twerps' and the 'yanks' arrive, the inhabitants of Slapton are themselves displaced along

in Southwark

with Lily's lost cat, when 'Exercise Tiger' gets underway - A true and tragic assault exercise in which the number 946 derives as the number of soldiers and sailors who died here.

The relationships that are formed in war are powerfully told using song, dance, puppetry and all vital imagination. Look out for Ewan Wardrop, his comedic skills as Lord ‘Something - or - Other' and 'Mrs Turner' are superb.

Every member of this cast seemed multi-talented - Musicians, actors, dancers. Watching them hurdling over the school desks left me breathless, and well done to all for sliding down that pole so effortlessly! I really wanted a go…I can't mention everyone so just go and see this exhilarating show! I would happily go again as it's a fabulous night out! What's not to like? Music, mayhem plus I've learnt even more about WW2 through one of the most skillful casts I've ever seen!

by Nastazja Domaradzka and Phil Willmott, will tell the story of the ingenious, witty and daring folk who tried to defeat the dragon beneath Wawel Castle which is, to this day, one of Poland's most popular visitor attractions.

The Wawel Dragon will play alongside a new rock musical of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment - one of the most famous and influential novels in world literature.

When an idealistic student kills a ruthless money lender, who terrorises the poor of St. Petersburg, the novel challenges us to ask if murder is ever justified.

Rock music works as the perfect medium to express the energy, rebellion and passion of the story. Fittingly this new musical production, adapted and directed by Phil Willmott, will feature specially written songs and favourite tracks by British rock legend, Toyah Willcox and her song-writing partner Simon Darlow.

THIS YEAR not only marked the 150th anniversary of the London Fire Brigade, but also the 45th anniversary of the infamous Wilson’s Wharf fire of August 9, 1971. The great blaze at the present day Southwark Crown Court on Battle Bridge Lane, took more than 300 firefighters to tackle, with crews on scene for three days, writes Alex Yeates…

The fire was started when construction workers were removing insulation from piping in the unoccupied refrigerated warehouse and sparks from their gas-powered cutting tools caused tape attached to the lagging to ignite.

Flames engulfed the large six-

floor building, which used to be a cold store. With bricked up windows, the building became an “impenetrable windowless fortress” and proved difficult for firefighters to gain a foothold.

One attempt to gain control of the fire was to break through one of the blocked windows with the help of two construction workers and a pneumatic drill.

The plan was abandoned, however, after cracks in the wall began to appear and concerns were raised that the wall would collapse.

Liam Hackett, a firefighter

based at Paddington fire station at the time and who was part of a relief crew, said: “There was great difficulty trying to get in to the building. The job was very

OVER THE ROAD UNION THEATRE 23 OLD UNION YARD ARCHES LONDON SE1 0LR 07941531624

Home cured heaven

INFO@OVERTHEROADCAFE.CO.UK IT’S BEEN a long time coming but the Union Theatre Café, that stalwart at the heart of the community in and around Union Street, has moved on, writes Michael Holland...

The place where queues would form for the best beigel and drink deal in town has closed for the last time. But, just like a dead Doctor Who, so the Union Theatre Café has regenerated itself and metamorphosed into the Over The Road Café.

And that is exactly where it has reemerged – over the road. The whole café crew - along with the Union Theatre team - have upped sticks and begun again in newer, bigger, shinier premises where they have taken this golden opportunity to continue providing the food and drink and ambience that they are renowned for, plus a whole lot more.

My project managing lunch partner and I found a table in the ample outside dining area so we could enjoy the weather, then ordered a couple of cold beers to counter the hot sun beating down onto the railway arches. To our delight they were Orbit Beers from the local Walworth brewer. I had the Düsseldorf Original, a malty bitter, while Ms Julia had the Blonde Ale, a zesty beer that seemed just perfect for the sunshine.

Young, vibrant chef Huseyin Mehmet bounded out with a big smile to introduce himself and talk up the the new venture. Huseyin has been brought on board to put life into the ideas and skills that he has garnered from his years at Mossoman’s, and The Savoy, amongst other top-notch restaurants.

You could feel his passion as he spoke about curing his own ham, bacon and gravlax; he told of how he had to ‘suffer’ a day of sampling good cheeses before he chose the ones he wanted - Suffering because he has a dairy intolerance so knew there would be a consequence for eating so much dairy product. He praised P. J. Frankland, the Kennington butcher he buys from, and his local cheese dealer, and explained how he makes all his own sauces and dips, and emphasised that this is just a beginning for Over The Road because the menu will broaden in the coming weeks and that pretheatre meals will be on the menu for those visiting the Union Theatre, and, and, and, and we had to stop him as this enthusiastic young man had already got me at ‘house cured’.

Plus we were ready to order so our friendly waitress Zoë was soon over to talk ‘blue eyes and nice tan’ with my associate while I sat there trying

to look interested.

Anyway, with the girly stuff out the way, we called on the House Cured Pastrami on Poppy Seed Bread that was a beast of a sandwich with its pickles, sauerkraut and honey mustard. The bread was delicious and the honey mustard countered perfectly the tang of the pickles. It had been cut into two because it could have fed two, and it did feed two because we shared it.

The sandwich came with hand cut fries that had a nice confetti of kale which we both immediately commented on as they added so much flavour to that humble chip, and when we mentioned this to the chef he laughed and told us the kale got sprinkled on by mistake but that he may make it a regular feature from now on.

We also ordered a salad each, me the Quinoa and Pomegranate with Rocket, Cherry Tomatoes, Feta and Lemon Dressing. I’m glad I did the ordering as I found out that my lady friend pronounced quinoa as it’s spelt, which is so wrong: ‘It’s keenwah, Julia, keen-wah!’ I told her with my best schoolteacher voice.

This was a salad combination I had

never had before and it was really nice; refreshing and light and a good balance to the sturdy sandwich and fries.

Julia asked for the Crispy Kale and Black Eye Pea Salad, perhaps because it was the only one she could say properly, I don’t know, but it was a nice surprise to feel the slight crunch of the kale against the soft beans.

The place was now buzzing with office people having light lunches as they struck deals or gossiped about colleagues; theatre people having a break from rehearsals or learning lines over a coffee; and others having a leisurely cold beer in the sunshine.

It seemed like the whole strata of London life was here, and it felt good.

A seemingly incongruous duo entertained us with an eclectic mix of songs ranging from Sinatra to the Beatles and Bowie, which were performed very well. I was somehow quite taken with the Sinatra ballads. I discovered that there would be live sets on Thursdays and Fridays.

What with the giant pastrami sandwich and the large salads, we

agreed that we maybe should not have been talked into the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Balls by the chef who told us the tale of how he once saw them on an American food show and spent many weeks using trial and error to perfect his own.

Well, in the interest of my professionalism, and being told at an early age never to leave any food on the plate, I tucked in. The coating had just the right amount of crispiness and crunch but when you got inside instead of the expected warm gush of cheese oozing out of the breach, there was just a warm ooze. The macaroni-to-cheese ratio was not right for my tastes, and I reckon Huseyin should get back to the kitchen but take someone without a dairy intolerance to do the sampling while he works on the recipe again. The texture of the outside and the inside is just fine but more cheesey flavour is needed.

Julie, Snob that she is, refused to eat ‘fried cheese’! And just as I was about to remonstrate with her she declaimed, ‘And make sure you put that in your review so my friends see that I did not eat fried cheese’!

‘Oooh, get you,’ I said. ‘Well

make sure you eat up all that kwinowa’!

This revitalised concern is going places and I will be interested to see how it develops from the superb start it has made.

Southwark News, Thursday August 25, 2016

The away day at Headingly this Sunday will see the Kia Oval side return to the Lord’s final of the competition for the second year in succession, should they prevail against the Tykes.

The last four clash is largely happening thanks to the batting efforts of Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara whose 130 not out against Northants just about hauled Surrey over the winning line.

Set 277 to win the 50 over contest Surrey made a meal of what looked a less than testing chase thanks to a lower order collapse.

But as long as the Sri Lankan was at the crease Surrey always had a chance, but it took a last wicket stand of 27, with Jade Dernbach, to get the visitors home.

The win came off the last ball and was only secured with one wicket remaining but the Kennington side made it home, thanks largely to Sangakkara and Dernbach’s earlier bowling efforts when he took four wickets for 39 runs.

In County Championship Division One Surrey moved up to third place in a congested table thanks to a 226 run win over Warwickshire.

Knocks of 47 and 88 from Sangakkara helped Surrey set a target of 396 for the Midlands side to chase for victory, and it became a case of Warwickshire needing to survive the last day for a draw.

Despite some lengthy knocks for low scores the Edgbaston club could not hold out with skipper Gareth Batty taking the final wicket to ensure Surrey secured 21 points.

The Southwark side, who play in Division Two of the Travelbag Surrey Championship, are just ten points behind Farnham who currently sit in the second promotion spot in the table.

With two games of the season remaining, and with Camberley looking set for the title, Dulwich are one of four teams fighting to move up the Surrey Championship hierarchy.

Epsom are another one of those sides chasing promotion so the weekend win did much for the chances of the Southwark team.

With Epsom batting first the home side made 211 in their 50 overs with Godfrey Stevens knock of 111 not out dominating proceedings.

But opener Tom Savill, with 54, and Ed Hopkins, 67 not out, led a great run chase as Dulwich made it home with more than seven overs remaining and four wickets intact.

of their own on 70 minutes but Stansfeld stopper James Bradley saved to maintain a two goal lead.

But ten minutes later the dangerous Carlum McCleod halved the deficit but any nerves were eased when Shinners netted his first goal of the season to secure the points.

Stansfeld manager Lloyd Bradley said: "We were down to bare bones after injuries and absentees before the game, but the boys who came in did brilliantly and it was a very professional performance by a very young team, playing against one of the better sides in the division.”

The Stansfeld side who play in the Kent County Premier Division also picked up their first win of the season thanks to a 3-1 victory at home to Hildenborough Athletic Dominic Karmali and Damola Sal, with two, got the Stansfeld goals.

Lionesses are Leagues Ahead

The Miss Kicks side pick up their cup from Lionesses players

PLAYERS FROM Millwall Lionesses helped round off the season in the Leagues Ahead tournament by holding a training session and hosting an awards event for the women’s football league.

Jordan Butler and Leanne Cowan turned up to pass on their knowledge and advice to the women who have played week in and week out in the league.

The end of season event saw the Miss Kicks club crowned champions whilst Melissa Nathan-Pepple was named

player of the season.

Amelia Briaris picking up the golden boot award for being top scorer.

Jordan Butler told the News: “There’s always opportunities, now more than ever. There are always soccer schools in half terms for younger kids, and things like Leagues Ahead going on too.

“It’s a great opportunity or women to socialise, have fun, and do something that they all enjoy.”

Hannah Sheath, a Miss Kicks player, added: “It’s really inclusive, and take people of any level.

“They’ll take absolute beginners, or people who’ve played for a while and then got injured. I felt confident about coming along to the training session.”

The league are looking for teams to take part in a charity 5-a-side tournament on September 25 at the Lions Centre in Bermondsey.

For more information on this and the league visit www.leaguesahead.net.

A BRACE of goals from Leiston’s Joe Francis and Gareth Heath were enough to ensure Dulwich Hamlet tasted defeat for the first time this season.

The 4-2 reverse at Champion Hill last Saturday will be a blow for the Pink and Blues who are hoping to gain promotion from the Ryman Premier Division this season.

The visitors took the lead on 23 minutes last weekend when Francis bagged the first of his two goals on the day.

But by six minutes after the break Hamlet had taken the lead thanks to two second half goals from striker Gavin Tomlin and defender Michael Chambers.

But it was the visitors who ended the game on the up as Heath netted twice and Francis rounded off the scoring in the 77 minute to give the visitors all three points.

New Hamlet signing Michael Onovwigun was on the bench at the weekend and he replaced Tomlin with nine minutes of Saturday’s contest remaining.

Onovwigun, 20, has spent time on loan at clubs such as Stalybridge Celtic and Gateshead and he has made a handful of appearances for League One side Chesterfield in his time as a pro at Derbyshire club.

On Tuesday night Hamlet were on their travels to Harlow Town and they got back on track thanks to a 2-1 win.

However they had to come from behind to take all three points after Alex Read gave the home side an early lead.

Two second half goals from Ashley Carew and Daniel Carr turned things around.

This Saturday Canvey Island come to Champion to take on Hamlet in a league contest, 3pm kick off, whilst on Bank Holiday Monday Dulwich will take on Hendon away from home.

MILLWALL 39

THE SOUTHWARK NEWS IS THE OFFICIAL MEDIA SPONSOR OF MILLWALL COMMUNITY TRUST

COMMUNITY COACHES GIVE TROOPS THE EDGE

MILLWALL WERE delighted to welcome special guests from Woolwich Army barracks to last Saturday’s game versus Sheffield United, where the Lions defeated the Blades 2-1.

The previous week, three coaches from the Millwall Community Trust answered a call from Essex Company of 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment on the eve of their Inter-Company tournament at Woolwich Army Barracks.

Major Mike Hedley, who also plays at centre back for the team, explained; “We were looking for a

competitive advantage and approached a number of clubs in Essex and South London to see if we could get some professional help. It was Millwall who responded and we were delighted they agreed to help.”

Richard White, who delivered the two day coaching sessions along with Tom Rolt and Gary Otim said: “Supporting our troops is something that is close to the hearts of Millwall Football Club, its fans and the Community Trust. We were proud to help them out, and even prouder when they made a presentation to us at the end of the two days, because in

our minds it was just an honour to be able to give something back to these lads who sacrifice so much for us.

“These soldiers put a lot of pro’ footballers to shame fitness-wise. On the Monday we delivered a two-hour session including fitness and agility work, only to find out they then did more fitness and played in a six-aside tournament.”

Team coach Cpl Andrew Ferguson added: “It was very useful for me, talking to the coaches and getting

some advice from people who do this every day.”

Another player, Cpl Joe Robinson, agreed, saying: “It’s good to get input from outside, particularly from a good club like Millwall. The teamwork and leadership skills you learn from playing football can stand you in good stead when you’re away on operations too.”

Millwall’s input clearly had the desired effect, as Martin, Joe, Andy and co. romped to victory in the tournament itself last Wednesday.

Romeo gets back to basics

By John Kelly Johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

MAHLON ROMEO revealed there was some soul-searching after the 5-1 defeat to Peterborough last week, with the squad and manager getting together determined to put it right against Sheffield United.

The Lions managed it just in the nick of time on Saturday when Steve Morison’s 89th-minute penalty gave them all three points against the Blades.

Romeo said: “The gaffer and all the boys, we came together the next day after Peterborough determined to

bounce back well and get a win.

“We looked at our mistakes and where we went wrong and we just tried to turn it around and we did.

“One of the big things that the gaffer emphasised in the meeting following the match was about getting back to basics, back to what we’re good at and what had us doing so well last season.

“Peterborough played well but it was one of our poorer nights and that hasn’t been a common theme for us in general, especially letting in that many goals.

“All that mattered was bouncing back and looking ahead to next Saturday.

“It’s not a perfect world, you can’t win every week. There are going to be blips

in the season but it’s better it comes early in the season to give you a chance to deal with it and we did by getting three points on Saturday.

“We’re not going to dwell on results.

Last weekend we got three points and that’s what we’ll be taking into the next league game.”

Romeo is only 20 and has less than six months’ experience as a regular firstteam player, but he doesn’t shy away from some hard examinations of his own performances when things go wrong.

“I think it’s important to reflect on experiences like that,” he said. “For me, games like that against Peterborough are

important so I can learn from it and try to do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“The mental side of it is a massive part of the game and it’s just part of the learning curve.”

Meanwhile one of the features of Millwall’s attacking strategy this season has been the combination between Romeo and David Worrall, and with Shane Ferguson, Gregg Wylde and Aiden O’Brien competing for wide spots, the Lions look to be in a healthy position in those areas.

And Romeo is looking forward to his partnership with Worrall in particular blossoming this season.

Moro seals knife-edge Blades win SKY BET LEAGUE ONE RESULT

MILLWALL 2 S Williams (14), S Morison (89 pen) SHEFFIELD 1 S Scougall (21) Date: Saturday August 20 2016 Attendance: 9058 Man of the match: Steve Morison Referee: Andy Woolmer

By John Kelly at The Den johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

AFTER SOME boos greeted the half-time whistle, Neil Harris told his new signings in the dressing room, ‘Welcome to Millwall’.

It was 1-1 after Stefan Scougall’s 21st-minute strike had cancelled out Shaun Williams’ superb opener, but that wasn’t enough to appease fans who had seen their

team obliterated at Peterborough days earlier and Harris’ message was code for, ‘Get used to it’.

The Lions boss also revealed afterwards that some of the senior players had assured David Worrall, Shaun Hutchinson and Gregg Wylde that the only thing to do was embrace it and get on with it.

That was essentially how the side approached the second half and their stubborn pursuit of a winner eventually paid off when Jack O’Connell needlessly handled the ball in the area in the 89th minute and Steve Morison tucked the penalty calmly into the bottom corner after sending debutant goalkeeper Simon Moore the wrong way.

It was a composed finish from Morison on his 200th appearance

for the club not least because he had been denied twice, by Moore and then O’Connell, in the preceding two minutes and regular penalty-taker Lee Gregory had been taken off injured.

Gregory had missed three good chances in the ten minutes after half-time, twice shooting off target either side of a superb Moore save to deny him in a one-on-one.

Millwall could have believed then it wasn’t going to be their day, but Mahlon Romeo and Worrall kept probing down the right, Ben Thompson kept winning his tackles in midfield and Shane Ferguson provided impetus and quality crosses from the left after he had come on for Aiden O’Brien.

Williams put Millwall in front when after Sheffield United failed

to clear a corner he beat one tackle before firing low into the bottom corner.

The Blades carried more of a threat for the rest of the half but couldn’t build on Scougall’s equaliser.

Millwall improved in the second period and when Ferguson crossed O’Connell had his moment of madness to hand Morison the chance to grab the winner.

Millwall: Archer; Romeo, Webster, Craig, Martin; Worrall, Thompson, Williams, O’Brien (Ferguson, 70); 9 Gregory (Onyedinma, 82), Morison.

Sheffield United: Moore; Freeman (McNulty, 90), Wilson, O'Connell, Hussey; Scougall (Chapman, 82), Basham, Coutts, Duffy; Sharp (Done, 65), L Clarke.

“We have a lot of strengths in wide areas with Wozza, Fergie, Wyldie and Aiden when he plays out there,” Romeo said. “I try to do my part as best as I can, make sure I get up and down the pitch and join the attacks whenever I can.

“I get on well with Wozza, he’s funny.

Me and him link up well on the pitch and have a good understanding, which I think is really important as a full-back to have that connection with a wide player.

“It’s a long season and hopefully we can get better with each week.

“He’s a really threatening player, I’ve seen it in training and the fans have seen it in patches as well. He’ll be a key player for us this season.

Thomo: I understand the boo boys Young midfielder takes criticism on the chin From a Millwall family, Ben Thompson expects fans to vent their frustration

EXCLUSIVE

By John Kelly Johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

BEN THOMPSON says Millwall fans are fully entitled to show their frustration with their team.

Some supporters booed the side off at half-time against Sheffield United last Saturday after an unconvincing first-half display.

Coming so soon after the defeat at Peterborough last week, a section of fans vented their feelings as the players headed to the dressing room.

Thompson, a Millwall fan who says he has to put those emotions to one side on the pitch, picked up on the edgy atmosphere but said players, including the new signings, have to understand it comes with the territory.

“I noticed it, I feel the fans’ frustration, they want to see us play good football,” Thompson said. “At the end of the day it’s up to us to get the results, but it’s sometimes a lot easier said than done on the pitch.

“At the start of the game I was a bit nervous after the previous defeat and

we knew we owed the fans and owed ourselves three points.

“In the first half, agreed, it was very scrappy and wasn’t a nice game of football to watch. But that’s what Millwall fans are like, they’re very demanding. I know that from experience.

“When you come to Millwall you’ve got to know what you’re going to come up against, you’ve got to know what to expect. Maybe it takes some of (the new signings) by surprise but that is Millwall, that’s what we’re about.

“I’ve learnt over the years playing for Millwall to put being a fan to one side and control your emotions. But that defeat at Peterborough was probably one of the worst feelings I’ve had on a football pitch. It hurt me and hurt the other players.

“It’s natural to think back and think almost everything we did we could have done better. Me personally, I look back on my own game and I wanted to go out on Saturday and put it right, as did everybody else.”

Despite the fans’ dissatisfaction at times last weekend, Thompson feels there is a bond there that had been

broken before Neil Harris took over.

“Before last season the connection between the players and the fans hadn’t been the best,” Thompson admitted. “With the squad of players from last season and the new players who have come in the fans are getting on with the team and really supporting us.

“There are going to be times when we’re not playing so well but we don’t mean to make mistakes, we don’t want to make mistakes. It’s part and parcel of football. Not everyone can be perfect but we’ll go out and give 110 per cent every week to try to get results and make the fans happy.”

It isn’t just the fans’ fury Millwall players have had to listen to this season. Harris had his say privately and publicly last week, leaving few in any doubt how angry he was after the biggest defeat of his reign.

But far from shrinking in the face of such a reaction, Thompson embraces that approach.

“The manager is very honest, he’s a very good coach and he knows what he’s talking about,” Thompson said.

“If you’ve done well or if you’ve done badly he will tell you. That’s a

great attribute to have.

“I like being told. If I think I’m doing well and I’m not, then I’m always open to any advice or criticism. I love hearing what I can do better and how I can improve my game. If you’re going to be lied to it’s blowing smoke up your bum.

“The honesty of the manager is superb.”

There’s little doubt then Harris will be telling Thompson where he can improve, even though the 20-year-old midfielder has already identified at least one area he wants to work on.

He explained: “I don’t talk as much as I should on the pitch and I think that’s something I need to add to my game. I need to be more of a leader now, I’ve played enough games to know what I’m talking about and what I need to be doing.

“I look at players like Steve Morison, Tony Craig, the manager, they’re always talking, always getting the players going. Their leadership skills are second to none so I feel I’m learning from the best.

“I want to learn to be a leader and hopefully in years to come I’ll be that leader.”

SMITH OFF THE MARK Harry Smith scored his first competitive goal for Millwall against Bolton Wanderers on Monday, but it wasn't enough to prevent Justin Skinner’s side falling to a second successive defeat.

The 21-year-old striker (above) headed home an 80th-minute equaliser for his side before Bolton got a late winner to hand the Lions’ U23 side their second successive defeat.

Despite the result, Skinner was happy that Smith, signed from Folkestone Invicta for a small fee, is off the mark for the club.

Skinner said: "I'm pleased for Harry that he got his first goal so hopefully he can now kick on in a Millwall shirt. It will give him plenty of confidence."

PARR FOR THE COURSE Former Millwall defender Chris Parr is starting his own coaching centre on September 12.

Parr, who never made a first-team appearance for the Lions before being released at the end of last season, is wasting no time in helping other youngsters with designs on breaking into professional football.

Parr is working with Concept4Football and will open the technical skills centre which will put on sessions between 5.30-7pm on Monday evenings.

Parr is offering players the first two sessions for free at Dartford Science and Technology College on Heath Lane.

MILLWALL WON’T be in the third round of the League Cup for the first time since 2011-12 but boss Neil Harris wasn’t going to lose any sleep over that on Tuesday.

Shaun Williams’ wonder goal – when he picked up the ball in the centre circle before lobbing Stephen Henderson – deserved to win any game but instead will be just a footnote on Millwall’s involvement in this season’s competition.

Williams’ 50-yard wonder strike also deserved to be seen by more than the official 4,009 who were present at The Den against Nottingham Forest but even that figure tells where priorities lie this season for Millwall.

This was Millwall’s sixth game in eighteen days and afterwards Harris talked about a “crazy schedule” at this stage of the season.

At least, then, that’s another Tuesday or Wednesday night scrubbed off the calendar this season and though a plum draw would have been nice, Harris was seeing the bigger picture of Millwall’s season.

One could guess at his thoughts when Aiden O’Brien twice hit the deck in the first half and signalled he needed to go off before continuing.

When Fred Onyedinma did the same in the 44th minute there were no such doubts and the nineteen-yearold looks like he can now be added to the club’s injury list which has been updated too often already this season.

That’s one reason Harris needs to add to his squad and if any wondered what area he is prioritising they needed only look at Millwall’s midfield.

The manner of Williams’ equaliser almost metaphorically indicated the need to bring in another midfielder with the technical ability to get five or six goals a season. He had to do it from almost halfway when earlier Jimmy Abdou had been presented with a chance ten yards out and fluffed it, Forest goalkeeper Stephen Henderson coming off his line to save.

A couple of times Abdou received the ball on the edge of the box and a more assured touch would have set up a shot or played a team-mate into a shooting position. Millwall need to add more goals from central midfield.

The positives on Tuesday night were to be found in Millwall’s starting XI. The average age of the side Harris named to take on Forest was under 23. There were seven players who came through the U21s in addition to Shane Ferguson, Byron Webster, Abdou and Gregg Wylde.

Tom King was making his debut after a number of loan moves and Jamie Philpot got his first competitive start for the club.

Harris will restore his senior players for the League One trip to Chesterfield next Saturday but this was both a glimpse of the future and a future there never was: Millwall

were 90 minutes away from playing teams like Forest in the Championship this season and Harris admitted their extra technical quality in the final third of the pitch was the difference between the sides.

Forest boss Philipe Montanier introduced Oliver Burke at the break and the move illustrated the different capacities of the squad. Burke added pace and quality and ultimately it was his repeated attacking forays that opened up Millwall and provided the impetus for Forest’s win.

Before all that Harris had named Byron Webster captain of the side and after speculation earlier in the

day Sheffield United had made a bid for him – which was denied by the club – he seemed determined to affirm his commitment to his own fans with a strong early tackle on Lars Veldwijk, one of nine Forest changes from their 4-3 win over Wigan on Saturday.

All of those changes inevitably meant the game lacked the real intensity of a league encounter.

Fred Onyedinma and Philpot were the first to threaten for Millwall, the former testing Henderson from 20 yards before Philpot headed narrowly wide.

O’Brien was also in the form to try his luck but when he struck an effort

from outside the area Henderson wasn’t overly troubled by it. Without Lee Gregory and Steve Morison Millwall lacked both the physical edge and the cleverness Gregory gives with his running off the ball.

Wylde fired a volley over the bar after Henderson had punched Ferguson’s free-kick to the edge of the box.

King didn’t have a save to make until the 35th minute and must have been wondering what all the fuss over this first-team lark was all about. However, he was given a painful lesson in how quickly things can change at this level when after keeping out Veldwijk’s header at the

HARRIS NOT SURPRISED

BY WILLIAMS BRILLIANCE

By John Kelly Steven Henderson (above) can’t stop Shaun Williams scoring a sensational goal

NEIL HARRIS paid tribute to Shaun Williams after the midfielder’s stunning strike from the centre circle against Nottingham Forest in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday night.

back post, but he couldn’t get back across goal quickly enough to block Jamie Paterson’s follow-up that put the away side ahead.

Onyedinma went off a minute before the break to be replaced with David Worrall before King came off his line for the ball in first-half injury time and there was a hint he handled outside the area under pressure from Jamie Ward. King will have noted there is less time at this level but his debut was also a first chance for Millwall fans to see his big potential.

A sparse crowd of thought Abdou was set to equalise when Worrall’s cross and some slack concentration gave him a one-on-one chance with

Henderson but the goalkeeper spread himself to save. Wylde fired the loose ball towards goal but Matt Mills was there to clear off the line.

Millwall started the second half carrying more of a threat in the wide areas and from Ferguson’s cross Philpot couldn’t get enough power on his back-post header to beat Henderson.

Harris introduced Morison after an hour in an effort to put Forest’s defence under more aerial pressure.

But it was Montanier’s side that came close to extending their lead when Henri Lansbury’s shot from 35 yards got a touch off Ben Thompson before just clearing King’s crossbar.

King’s most nervous moments were following each other in quick succession, and after Veldwijk had touched the ball around him just inside the box the goalkeeper was relieved to see Webster covering to prevent the striker finishing to an empty net.

The same Forest player was through on goal again in the 73rd minute but Mahlon Romeo got back to produce a superb covering tackle in the box before the striker could shoot.

Williams – who had come on for Thompson – came up with his moment of genius in the 78th minute when he picked up the ball in the centre circle, spotted Henderson off

his line, and perfectly judged his lob over the goalkeeper.

Harris thought Millwall would win it from there and the last thing he wanted was extra-time.

King sprung off his line to narrow the angle and save Ward’s effort soon after but Veldwijk ensured there would be no need for an extra 30 minutes when he beat King with a crisp low shot from inside the box.

Harris was up late re-watching Millwall’s defeat to Peterborough last week. There was little chance he did the same on Tuesday night as the Lions fix their sights on Proact Stadium this Saturday.

Williams beat opposing goalkeeper Stephen Henderson from 50 yards to equalise for the Lions in the second half after Jamie Paterson had put the Championship side ahead.

Williams had been rested for the fixture but came on to provide the game’s most illuminating moment when he spotted Henderson slightly off his line and decided to try to lob the keeper.

It came off and Harris said he wasn’t surprised by the midfielder’s impudence.

“It was a great strike,” Harris said.

“I talked about a lack of quality from my players at times but obviously that’s an exception. It’s a bit of genius play, the vision and then the ability to execute the vision is outstanding.

“If it’d been Saturday afternoon in the Premier League we’d be watching it back all season.

“He’s got that ability. He could do that very day in training if he wanted to.”

Harris gave Tom King and Jamie Philpot their full debuts in the fixture and, despite the result, he felt it was a good measure of Millwall’s strong youth structure.

Harris said: “I was delighted with the young players’ performances.

Seven players came through our 18s and 21s and that’s a great advert for the club.

“I picked those players because I thought they were capable of winning the game, and they nearly were. It was justified to do that.

Sometimes I don’t play them all together, I get more of a balance with senior players.

“I had to rest a few because of the game schedule, but looking back I’m really pleased.

“Tom King and Jamie Philpot made their full debuts and there are so many positives from the game.”

TOM KING said he was “absolutely delighted” to make his full debut for Millwall against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

Aiden O’Brien (main) injures his foot as he takes a shot against Nottingham Forest Fred Onyedinma (below) went off injured in the same game

By John Kelly Johnk@southwarknews.co.uk

MILLWALL ARE already facing a mini injury-crisis just 20 days into the new season.

Manager Neil Harris slammed the “crazy schedule” after his side were forced to play six games in eighteen days since the start of the campaign.

That will become eight in 25 days with this Saturday’s League One trip to Chesterfield and then the

first group fixture of the EFL Trophy against West Brom the following Tuesday.

Harris was already without Shaun Hutchinson and Lee Gregory for Tuesday night’s League Cup game against Nottingham Forest and he saw Aiden O’Brien and Fred Onyedinma added to the list after both picked up knocks in the defeat.

Centre-back Hutchinson has played just three minutes of firstteam action since he signed from Fulham in the summer and it will

be at least a month before he returns, while Gregory has departed early in two of the four games he has played this season and is a doubt for the Spireites clash.

Onyedinma would be one option to replace Gregory but asked if he will recover in time, Harris said: “Don’t know, too early to tell, but I wouldn’t imagine he will be involved on Saturday. Anyone who comes off in a midweek game is very unlikely to play Saturday so Fred and Aiden, we’ll have to see.”

King, 21, took over from Jordan Archer between the sticks as Lions boss Neil Harris named a youthful side with seven players who had come through the U18s or U21s.

King looked like he had done enough to send the game into an extra-time period Harris didn’t want when he came off his line in the 86th minute to narrow the angle and block Jamie Ward’s shot.

But moments later Lars Veldwijk found space in the box to shoot low past the goalkeeper and send Forest through to the third round.

That late blow didn’t take the shine off the experience for King, though, and he revealed Harris left it late to tell him he was in the starting XI. “I was absolutely delighted,” he gushed. “It’s something I’ve been working towards since the day I walked through the door at the club.

“It was in the hotel before the game (when he found out he was in the team) so I didn’t have that much time to overthink it. I think that was better for me, if he’d told me earlier I might have over-thought some of my decisions.

“But I was able to act naturally and play my own game.”

King is the fifth player to have come through the U21s who has been given his first-team debut by Harris, and he said Archer and goalkeeping coach Kevin Pressman were important presences in the build-up to his big moment.

King said: “Jordan was brilliant before the game and in the warm-up, he told me to relax, that it was just like any other game.

“Kev pulled me aside for a few words before I walked out onto the pitch so they were both brilliant and settled any nerves that were still there.”
