London Bridge a traffic nightmare
S
pare a thought for businesses that need to get in and out of the London Bridge area, or indeed for taxi drivers plying their trade, as the area is fast becoming a no go zone for traffic.
Years of work on the Shard have meant the through route of St Thomas’ is now just a distant memory - but with the announcement that Tooley Street eastbound traffic is to be cut off until February 2018, the crawl will reduce to a standstill. The works begin next month on the new London Bridge station entrances and to add insult to injury, will coincide with the closure of Tower Bridge to traffic for three months from October. Given that commuters who use Tower Bridge will now head for the Rotherhithe Tunnel, expect to see the knock-on effect create even more of a snarl up along Jamaica Road as well.
Who will blink first in doctor row?
T
here doesn’t seem to be any clear end point for the war between junior doctors and Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt in their row over new contracts.
Junior doctors launched their first ‘allout’ strike this week, over two days, and refused to cover even A&E care - an escalation on previous strikes. While patients in A&Es may actually have quite appreciated being seen by expert consultants, who’d been drafted in to cover during the strike, this is clearly not a scenario that can keep on happening. The government argue that they are simply trying to change junior doctors’ contracts - their pay and hours so that the nation can have a good NHS service seven days a week, something no one will sensibly argue against. But the argument isn’t that black and white. The junior doctors say that the deal will leave them worse off, and with the NHS often seeming like it’s creaking at the seams, the last thing anyone wants is a disenchanted medical workforce. The NHS must partly run on its staff’s good nature and willingness to work in challenging circumstances. It certainly is an unusual scenario when doctors are cast as radicals. So who will blink first? Jeremy Hunt seems immoveable, but the junior doctors have fought a passionate campaign. At the moment it seems that, whilst the public would welcome a ‘7 day NHS’, they actually do support the junior doctors in their campaign. Surely people would prefer the government to offer its own acceptable concessions, rather than stubbornly to refuse, in a bid to save face?
Agree or disagree?

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.

Winter’s Tale, Pericles and The Tempest. The Bishop of Southwark, the Rt Revd Christopher Chessun, said: “I am delighted there are strong bonds between Shakespeare’s Globe and Southwark Cathedral, which would have been his parish church. “Shakespeare’s works are still relevant today and it was wonderful to see some of his words performed in the place in which he, his brother and Sam Wanamaker are memorialised.”

President Obama was welcomed into Shakespeare’s Globe on the morning of Saturday, April 23, by the cast of Hamlet, who have just returned from a world tour, where he was treated to scenes from the play. Dominic Dromgoole, Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe, said: “At the end of an extraordinary journey all around the world, it is great to return home to the Globe, and to be able to perform a few scenes and to be welcomed back by President Barack Obama. “The spirit of ‘Yes we can’ has informed the entire tour, and it’s an honour to meet the man who coined the phrase, and who exemplifies its spirit.” Meanwhile Southwark Cathedral welcomed His Royal Highness Prince Philip to join a special service celebrating Shakespeare’s life and works. During the service the Globe Young players performed Fear No More the Heat o’ the Sun from Cymbeline and the Globe Winter Season Actors performed extracts from The

Residents nail front door shut after finding people drinking, taking drugs and having sex in their communal corridor EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
ROUGH SLEEPERS have been having sex, drinking, doing drugs and smoking in the hallways of an Elephant and Castle estate, causing residents to fear for their children’s lives.
Terrified families living in L&Q run flats at Arch Street have nailed the street-facing front door shut to stop strangers coming into their building late at night. Trespassers still get in, however, as the security gate behind the block is broken, allowing them access through the backdoor. Ruth Reyes, a mother of two, said: "We do not feel safe. We have kids and are worried about a fire happening from the rough sleepers smoking in here. And where would we go? The front door is blocked and I don't know if the back one will open. "I have to carry all my things to work in the morning, like my laptop and my phone, and I'm worried about who might attack me on my way out." The intruders have defecated,
urinated and vomited in the stairwells and threaten anyone telling them to leave, residents say. Adan Tabed, 36, father of one, said: "Even the security room where the cameras are was broken into. The rough sleepers leave cigarettes, alcohol and used drugs out as well as condoms. They (L&Q) put heavy locks where the camera room is but we are not protected as tenants. We have been neglected. "For the amount they spend on fixing the doors they could have got a security guard. One of us left a pram in the open and they urinated on it. "We are in a busy area and we need to have security. We have kids here."
The residents have accused L&Q of ignoring their calls for help and for not caring about their safety. An L&Q spokesperson said: “L&Q is working closely with local partners, residents and the police to address ongoing issues including antisocial behaviour and trespassing at our Arch Street development. “We are in the process of increasing security across the site including fencing and new robust security doors as well as a number of other measures. “We are very grateful for residents’ continued patience and cooperation while we work with them to find a permanent solution to these issues.”

ONE OF the borough’s major roads is to be closed to eastbound traffic from next month until February 2018.
Works on Tooley Street start with a full closure between Borough High Street to Bermondsey Street on April 30 to May 3. As work begins on the new London Bridge station entrances, the street, which houses major international business firms as well as the council’s HQ and the Greater London Assembly building, will be closed to eastbound traffic from May 3 to February 2018 with diversions in place. The works will coincide with the closure of Tower Bridge to traffic for three months, from October this year for structural works. A TfL spokesperson said: “As our work moves across the station we need to locate a worksite on Tooley Street. “From April 30, we start work on the new station entrance on Tooley Street and from August 2016 will begin to rebuild platforms one to three.
NEWS 5
www.southwarknews.co.uk/news
“We need to extend the worksite beyond the station footprint to safely undertake the work on the station front. This means we must close the southern footpath and one lane of traffic. “This has been agreed with Southwark Council and Transport for London.” All vehicles wanting to travel east down Tooley Street will need to follow the diversion route via Borough High Street, Great Dover Street and Tower Bridge Road for the duration of the works.

Parts of old timber transport route could be revived in new regeneration plans EXCLUSIVE
By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
PLANS TO revive part of the route of the old Grand Surrey Canal have been unveiled in consultations on April 21 for a regeneration project at Malt Street near the Old Kent Road.
The canal was officially opened in 1826 to transport timber to the Surrey Commercial Docks and was filled in the 1970s to become an industrial estate that has since shut. Berkeley Homes is now trying to link the Old Kent Road to Burgess Park along a section of the old canal route, as part of a project to build new homes and make the area more accessible. Debbie Noel, an Old Kent Road resident, said: “Generally we are 90 per cent in favour of it as the area is run down and does not have much going on. The Old Kent Road is known for being old and having different styles. “The great thing about the Old Kent Road is that it is so diverse with all sorts of different people living here. We need to make sure it looks and
feels the same, so it will be interesting with tower blocks being built. “The green route is an interesting idea that came from one of our meetings. “Making the park more accessible and extending the green lanes is a great way to make us feel more like a community. Any added green areas are more than welcome.” The route is intended to incorporate art features as well as stretches of water, to remind residents of the area’s history. Peter Davidson, Land Director at Berkeley Homes, said: “We were delighted that so many people took the time to come and view our initial concept proposals for the Malt Street Regeneration last week. The feedback we have received will be vitally important as we bring forward more detailed plans later this year. “We are currently reviewing the feedback and we were pleased that there was particular interest in the new public open spaces we are proposing.” The proposed regeneration at Malt Street is part of the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area outlined by London Mayor Boris Johnson and Southwark Council.

Historic dock ‘will be preserved’ - developers

THE HISTORIC Albion dry dock uncovered near Canada Water two weeks ago will not be destroyed, according to the property developers working on the site.
Sellars Property Group confirmed this week that the dock would be “retained and preserved” but it is not yet clear to what extent. The historic find is currently open for viewing to the public for a limited time before construction work covers it. A Sellars Property spokesperson said: “As part of the new, mixed-use retail and residential scheme currently on site, the dry dock will be retained and preserved, protecting the site’s history for future generations. “The scale of the structure is
phenomenal – and is definitely worth a visit. The viewing platform, which is located at the side of the Decathlon store adjacent to the site, is publicly accessible.” On Wednesday, as the News went to press, a representative from the Museum of London Archaeology gave a short talk about the history of the site. Dating back to the mid-1870s, it’s thought that the Dock was originally built around the same time as the Surrey Commercial Docks and was fundamental to the maintenance of boats. By the mid-1980s, the docks was disused, leading to a period of redevelopment. The Albion Dry Dock was preserved and backfilled during the re-development works in the 1990s and the site was transformed into a retail warehouse.

WW2 CODE CRACKER CHARLIE PASSES AWAY
Charlie and his second guide dog, and with his wife Olive
Veteran, who turned blind in later life, dedicated to collecting for charity By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
A SECOND World War code cracker who dedicated much of his later-life to raising money for charity as he stood in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, passed away on April 15 after a chest infection.
Charlie Bewick, 88, died peacefully in his sleep after leading a fulfilling life combating not only Nazis in the Second World War, but also diabetes and blindness, conquering Mt Sinai without sight with a guide in 2000. Residents will remember seeing Charlie in his army uniform collecting for the Royal Legion and Guide Dogs for the Blind across the borough. He was also the Neighbourhood Watch man for his Rotherhithe estate, and was awarded the Liberty of the Old Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey and of Southwark for his work in the community. Born in 1927 in Singapore, Charlie came to England when he was sevenyears-old and joined the Royal Signals
when he was sixteen after leaving Kingham Hill School, staying in Germany after the war as a glider pilot. During the Second World War he used Morse code for the Allies to communicate and helped to crack enemy code. Jane Woods, Charlie’s daughter, said: “Dad was 65 when he lost his sight because of diabetes but that didn’t slow him down. “He learned Braille and started going into schools, educating people about losing sight. He had two guide dogs in his life. “Before then he was very keen on electronics, always fiddling with old radios, which wasn’t bad considering he was also colour blind. There wasn’t a day where he wasn’t doing anything. We had to get him a mobile phone in the end to see where he was.” Charlie met his wife, Olive, in his mid-20s and got married on July 14 1956 at St Mary’s Church. He is survived by two daughters and two grandchildren, with a first greatgrandchild due in the coming months.

AUDLEY GIVES PUPILS PEP TALK By Owen Sheppard owen@southwarknews.co.uk
SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT Olympic gold-medallist Audley Harrison MBE paid a visit to Walworth Academy on Monday to
give pupils the pre-exam pep-talk of their lives.
The six foot six inch champion boxer was met with rapturous applause before giving an inspiring talk to the yeareleven pupils preparing to face their GCSEs next month.
Speaking in the school’s auditorium, Audley, 44, said: “Preparation is the key to success,” and added, “if you tell yourself you can, you will”. He finished the speech by referencing a piece work by the school’s head boy and girl he had seen displayed by a
classroom. Audley, who was champion at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, read: “Yesterday was your past, so learn from it. Today is the present, so own it. Tomorrow is your future, so write it.” He finished off by saying loudly,
“dream big”. A spokeswoman for the school said: “Audley had the whole year group on the edge of their seats. We are sure his positive words will resonate with the whole year group for the rest of their lives.”
THE MISSING 15 MINUTES BEFORE OLA WAS KILLED

Man was shot and stabbed by attackers By Owen Sheppard
Runners raise £1000s for charity
owen@southwarknews.co.uk
DETECTIVES ARE trying to piece together what happened in the last fifteen minutes of a Peckham man’s life before he was shot and stabbed to death.
Twenty-one-year-old Ola Raji was murdered as he cycled past the Damilola Taylor Centre in East Surrey Grove, on the night of April 21, 2015. Detectives believe Ola was confronted by two people and made a fresh appeal for evidence on the one-year anniversary of the day he was killed. A £20,000 reward has also been readvertised, in return for information that could lead to an arrest or prosecution. Detective Chief Inspector William Reynolds told the News: “This is an important anniversary and it’s an important day. “What we do know is he was shot dead at 10.30pm. So we have a fifteen-minute period where I need to know where Ola was and what he was doing. “I don’t know whether he meant to meet anyone or if anyone saw him on his bike. The most important think now is I need to know why he left his house, where he was going, and did anyone see him. Then I will be able to fully account for his movements.” On the fateful night, Ola left his house at 10.15pm without telling his parents where he was going. Police believe he cycled to East Surrey Grove, usually only two minutes away by bike. The two men launched their assault on Ola at 10.30pm. He was shot at three times with what was believed to be a handgun. Two shots hit the former Sacred Heart Roman Catholic School pupil as he cycled past, one hitting him in the chest, which proved fatal. Detective Reynolds said he believes Ola fell to the ground, “tried to get up”, and then collapsed between two parked cars. His attackers then rounded on Ola by stabbing him in the back with a bladed weapon. The detective said. “One question is: were they waiting for him? Or were they waiting for someone else; was he shot by mistake?” Ola’s body was found by a group of young women at 10.30pm. They held his body as he lay between two parked cars until an ambulance arrived. CCTV images have shown two young men running from the scene. Detective
News Page 17 Ola Raji (top) and CCTV of the suspects
Reynolds added: “We have done a huge CCTV scour on a wide perimeter. There was CCTV at the entrance to East Surrey Grove, and cameras that cover another entrance. But there are a number of way to enter the estate.” Scotland Yard arrested a 25-year-old man in September, and two more men of 24 and 21 had also been arrested, and bailed without charge. One was on suspicion of murder, the other was on conspiracy to commit murder. “We have not recovered the weapons: the gun or the knife, but we have recovered ballistic material and believe it was a handgun,” the detective said. “We are not at square one, we have made good progress.” A silver car is known to have been parked nearby on Rosemary Road, with occupants who could have provided highly useful evidence.

Hospitals draft in consultants as junior doctors strike

owen@southwarknews.co.uk
JUNIOR DOCTORS in King’s College, Maudsley, and Guys’ and St Thomas’ hospitals have taken part in the first ever ‘all-out’ strikes held in the NHS’s history.
This latest 48-hour bout of industrial action – the third set of strikes by England’s junior doctors since March – also saw them walk out of A&E departments. A&E departments at King’s and Guys’ and St Thomas’ hospitals were left to the care of consultants and nurses only, between 8am and 5pm on Tuesday and Wednesday. The News has obtained figures from the two hospitals’ trusts showing 20 consultants were drafted in to cover junior doctors on each day at King’s A&E, while the A&E at St Thomas’ Hospital was covered by thirteen consultants. Meanwhile there were 119 junior doctors from across the whole of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust who took part in the April 6 and 8 strike. The strikes also meant hundreds of hospital appointments and operations needed to be rescheduled. At Guys’ and St Thomas’ hospital, 126 operations have been postponed, equalling 37 per cent of their usual daily activity. Some 1,188 outpatient appointments have also been delayed – roughly fourteen per cent of how

Consultants and other senior doctors employed by King’s will cover the work of the junior doctors so patients will receive the care they need,” the spokeswoman said. Ninety-eight per cent of junior doctors in England out of 37,000 voted in favour of the strikes, organised by the British Medical Association.

RESIDENTS AROUND the borough celebrated St George’s Day in style last weekend with events in primary school playgrounds and sing-alongs in pubs.
Bonamy and Bramcote Estate celebrated their 11th St George’s Day with an event organised by Pat Hickson MBE at Ilderton Road Primary School. In the school’s playground 250 people, including councillors and Chelsea Pensioners, came to take part in face painting, raffles, snake petting and to learn how to make flower bouquets. For a 50p entry fee party-goers were treated to a picnic bag and a free raffle ticket for the chance to win vouchers for fish and meat, as well as signed t-shirts and footballs from Millwall FC. All the money raised was donated to Bede House’s learning disability support. At the Good Intent pub on East Street there were more vocal celebrations as revellers enjoyed Arment’s pie and mash to music. Wendy McDonald, Good Intent’s manager, said: “We had a great celebration and a great turnout.

Dulwich Wood was pipped to the prize by a school in Walthamstow, but Friends of the Earth was so impressed by Dulwich Wood’s efforts that they gave £7,500 to the school in order to help them buy their own solar panels.

Who will get your London Assembly By Owen Sheppard and Callum Burroughs

the Greater London Assembly (GLA).
AS WELL as picking the next mayor of London at the May 5 election, you will also vote for a local representative to take the Southwark and Lambeth seat in
Florence Eshalomie, Labour
Florence Eshalomie is a Labour councillor for Brixton Hill ward in Lambeth. She is a mother of one, who grew up in Brixton. How can the London Assembly put pressure on the next mayor to tackle the housing crisis?
The key thing the assembly has to do is about the type of housing being built. We need the mayor to work with Southwark and Lambeth councils. Planning decisions fall on councils, but the mayor has a strategic role to play in setting the direction for what kind of housing we want, and pushing for affordable housing targets. The mayor needs to explore with councils what land can be used, and work in partnership to make make joint bids to get government funding.
What can councils and the Assembly do to get private developers to be more transparent and stick to councils’ targets for providing affordable housing?
The reality is councils in both boroughs have seen their funding cut, so you can’t expect them to build housing with no money. It will also be up to the Assembly and up to the mayor, Labour or Tory, to lobby the government to stop their cuts, and the Housing Bill [new policy feared to reduce authorities’ ability to supply social housing]. Councils also need to push harder for developers to publish viability schemes [information on what proportion of new homes developers can afford to provide as ‘affordable’]. We need to follow the approach of Southwark. They will now make developers publish what they can afford to provide if they fail to meet the 35 per cent affordable targets.
What can the mayor do to improve diversity in the

police and make the force more representative if police numbers are being cut?
Since 2010 Lambeth and Southwark have lost over 300 officers. But I think it’s about looking at community policing. I want to see the mayor look at how we can get the proceeds from crime to be invested into police forces rather than to the treasury, because it could be used to fund police officers. I have done a lot of work with the police in looking at the use of body cameras, which is something I think should be rolled out across the Met.
A lot of people are worried the Elephant and Castle ‘Bend’ has made traffic worse and more unsafe. Is it too late to do anything about it?
TfL are notorious in terms of not consulting with borough councils, so it’s a case of holding TfL to account. I want to explore making sure we get TfL officials down to walk those routes, rather than proposing from Victoria Street [location of TfL’s offices]. It’s all well and good them predicting the gyratory system will ease congestion. But if they don’t walk the route they won’t know the impact of the changes they’re making. There are a lot of small businesses and tradesman who need the roads, but are left feeling that policies against air pollution and promoting cycling are against them. I think it’s about respecting all road users. I’m a driver and the amount of near misses I’ve seen with cyclists and buses petrifies me. Credit to Boris, the dedicated cycle lanes being rolled out are good. We need to look at redesigning some of our roads to ensure there’s space for everyone. We can also look at piloting restricted hours for HGVs. We can look at improving public realm and pavements.

Robert Flint, Conservative
Robert Flint has lived in the borough since 2008. He is a lawyer with Winkworth Sherwood, volunteers with Southwark Citizens Advice and is a former police special constable.
Both Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson have overseen this housing crisis. What would you have been saying to them about this problem if you had already been an AM?
Boris has built more, technically, affordable homes than anyone else, although not nearly enough. But the word affordable is almost meaningless now because people can’t afford them. A phrase I have been using in this campaign is a ‘war on all fronts’. You have to increase land supply with brown field land, and building more efficiently while allowing locals to have a say, where people are not going to be forced to leave their communities.
Are the lease holders at the Aylesbury Estate who are being moved out of their homes being treated fairly?
This goes to the heart of the problem across London. Viability assessments, and valuations on properties due to be demolished, are between councils and developers, and there’s not much transparency about how they come to their figures. People’s houses are being undervalued so they have to shell out a lot of money to remain leaseholders in new properties. It’s precisely those people we need to get on board. The proposal from Zac Goldsmith [Conservative mayoral candidate] is to make viability schemes and the valuation process a set procedure across London and to make them more transparent, so everyone can see what’s happening.
votes. On one ballot paper you put down one vote for your local constituency candidate, who will represent Southwark and Lambeth. On a second ballot paper you also choose one of the candidates to take a seat in the London-wide assembly, who debate issues facing the whole city.
What can the mayor do to improve diversity in the police and make the force more representative if police numbers are being cut?
In terms of numbers, they have held steady at about 32,000 officers, but the numbers of special constables and community support officers has fallen. We need to reverse that trend. They are valuable with ward policing and making sure the police are visible to people. There are problems with shutting police stations and making efficiency savings. There are five stations in Southwark and Lambeth, and places like Dulwich are quite far away from a station. Making the Met representative is an ongoing thing but I believe it’s naturally changing. When I joined the specials it was a complete mix of backgrounds. There is a perception that police stop and search people from ethnic backgrounds, and the flip side of that is knife crime has gone up because people believe they won’t be stopped. You need to have stop-and-search based on police intelligence, where officers focus on specific areas and people they suspect.
A lot of people rely on their cars for their work and businesses, and they see the Elephant and Castle and think it’s a complete mess.
It is a complete mess. ‘The Bend’ they’ve put in didn’t work when they were changing it all around and they said it would improve when the two-way started flowing, and I still don’t think it has. There is a broader point here that there isn’t enough public transport on rail and tube in the area so it forces people into cars. TfL has a nightmare of trying to make these traffic flows work while balancing the interests of all the road users and pedestrians.

The fourteen constituency candidates are elected using the firstpast-the-post system, just like when you vote for an MP. Meanwhile the eleven Londonwide assembly members are chosen using a ‘proportional representation’ voting system. This system takes into account the
Michael Bukola says he has lived in Peckham “all his 39 years”. He was ward councillor for South Bermondsey from 2010 to 2014 and was formerly a tax adviser with Deloitte & Touche. What can be done about the housing crisis?
Housing is undoubtedly the main issue – the lack of it and frankly the quality of it. Southwark has been mismanaged by the current Labour administration. What took place at the Heygate Estate with the affordable housing deal there was disgraceful. While I was on the council I fought tooth and nail to make sure local residents would get the best deal. I don’t think 25 per cent across the Elephant and Castle development is sufficient. It’s yet another example of this Labour administration rolling over to developers.
Elephant and Castle upsets many people. Is it too late to try and do something about the Elephant or is it now destined to be a hazard?
It’s been commented by many over the scandal of the fatalities that have been happening there. I think a lot of money has already gone into it. I am willing to work on a cross-party basis to ensure we get the best result possible on the roundabout. I think it’s an improvement on where we were previously but there’s still work to be done.
What can the mayor do to improve diversity in the police and make the force more representative if police numbers are being cut?
Some housing associations which get funding from the GLA have been found to have reneged on promises to provide affordable housing. Should AMs and the mayor being doing more about this?
The Liberal Democrat candidate Carolyn Pidgeon is pushing for 3,000 extra police in London. I think what we need is a multi-faceted approach both in terms of bringing in candidates with new experiences in other sectors. I am aware of the Police Now initiative which is all about bringing in young people from different sectors to try their hand at being a copper which, from speaking to officers involved, has been a really positive experience.

On balance I think Old Kent Road is the more viable option. One can see not just one station but two because of its destination towards Lewisham.
I think it’s incumbent on politicians and property developers to ensure we get the best deal for local people. It’s incumbent on a Labour run council to make sure property developers adhere to their own guidelines. I hope to ensure we get proper open and transparent transactions between councils and developers. Viability assessments should be publicly available, something the Lib Dems have campaigned on for a long time.

What powers would the mayor, or an AM, have to do something about developers not providing enough affordable housing?
Southwark Council’s policy of private developers needing to provide 35 per cent affordable housing is noble. However, it’s been proven, especially at Elephant and Castle, to be a complete fallacy, developers always get around it. Look at the revolving door between Southwark Council and Lend Lease [company behind developments in Elephant and Castle] - a lot more scrutiny could be done. The MP for Dulwich and West Norwood [Helen Hayes] is a partner of architectural firm Allies and Morrison, who have a working relationship with Lend Lease [The company is based in Southwark, although Ms Hayes’ website states she has not worked on projects in Southwark or Lambeth since 2010].
The mayor’s office has the power to ‘call in’ and have the final say on large developments. Should the mayor have more influence over affordable and social housing?
Absolutely, I’m sceptical of companies that build housing for profit. At the end of World War Two, Britain was in a far worse economic state, but we undertook a huge social-house building project. Why can’t we do it now? The money is out there. Why can’t councils have some teeth and the will to hold developers to account?

improve diversity in the police and make the force more representative if police numbers are being cut?
We’re seeing swathes of south London where young men are being criminalised. We need to explore the link between school exclusions and criminality at a fundamental level. Only yesterday I was talking to a 21-year-old who was excluded at fourteen and in jail at sixteen. If he is then excluded from employment but living in a world where money and materialism is up in his face, the only option he sees is to go criminal to make money. A mayor should take a lead role in having joined-up thinking. Policing should work in conjunction with education. The mayor and any elected official has a duty to speak out, even if it’s not in their remit. Education is not in the mayor’s remit, but he and AMs can raise the issue and get the conversation going.
Many worry about the safety of the new Elephant and Castle ‘Bend’. Is it too late for the mayor to pull some strings and do something about it?
Anything that can be done to promote cycling should be supported, because we have air pollution causing over 9,000 people in London to die per year [King’s College London research]. The average speed in London now is 10mph, which is like when we had horses and carts. If it’s important for someone to have a 300-horse-power box chugging out pollution while going seven-mph, then I can’t help them. The cycling revolution that has happened across London is really down to us having two Green AMs who put pressure on the mayor to make sure they got London’s transport system more cycling friendly.

We have also got to look at demand. With second homes we should have penalties where we double council tax for homes left empty.

62-year-old car firm says parking restrictions will lose customers By Alex Yeates
alex@southwarknews.co.uk
A 62-YEAR-old family business has accused Transport for London of endangering their livelihoods with plans to put double red lines outside their car shop.
Kent Carriage Company on Pomeroy Street are concerned that the lines will
put them out of business because it would prevent customers dropping in. TfL previously put double red lines outside the company in 2013 only to be taken to the High Court as there had been no consultation. Paul Houston, Kent Carriage Company’s owner, had to fork out £10,000 before TfL signed a consent form admitting they didn’t hold a consultation. The lines remained till 2014, however, forcing Mr Houston to burn the lines off himself. He also said he had to let two staff go because the lines caused him to lose business. TfL are said to have come back in 2015 early in the morning to reapply them only for Mr Houston to burn them off again.
Kent Carriage Company’s Paul and Louis Houston
Now TfL’s most recent plans to hold a consultation on the project has been met with fierce opposition, including a petition being signed more than 613 times. Mr Houston said: "We've seen all of the recessions, Black Wednesday, the blackouts of the ‘70s and all different sorts of crisis. Won't it be such an irony that TfL is the final nail in the coffin? “Common sense must override bureaucracy. Openness and transparency are meant to be important in a
democracy but if they've already decided the outcome of the consultation then it is rigged. “We are part of the community and its history and we only sell to local people. We've become a landmark and we won't go quietly." TfL have responded to Mr Houston’s claims saying that the red lines are for safety reasons, making the junction operate better and to reduce the conflict between larger vehicles trying to pass.
Nigel Hardy, Head of Sponsorship and Surface Transport at TfL, said: "No decision has been made on proposed changes at this junction. “We've been engaging with Kent Carriage Company for some time and we will hold a consultation into proposed safety improvements later this year."

Barnaby Benfield, nine, stood firmly to his argument for zoos to be kept open, which didn’t seem so surprising after he mentioned that he loved watching animal shows by David Attenborough.

Castle to open doors this weekend By Owen Sheppard

THE LONG-awaited Elephant and Castle leisure centre will open to the public on Saturday, April 30, Southwark Council has announced.
Among its features are a 25 metre sixlane swimming pool, a learner pool, sauna and steam rooms, a sports hall, fully-equipped gym, two exercise studios and a crèche and café. There is also disabled access and specialist equipment throughout. The £20m Castle Centre will open its doors at 7am with an official open day weekend scheduled for May 21 and 22. It was originally due to open in the summer of 2014, after construction began in February 2013. The project was first delayed after an
excavation of the site where the old leisure centre once stood found a mass grave of 500 medieval skeletons in October 2012. In January this year, councillor Barrie Hargrove, Southwark Council’s cabinet member for public health, parks and leisure, said the delay was due to shortages of skilled workers from high demand for development projects across London. Cllr Hargrove recently said: “I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been working so hard to get the Castle Centre open, despite its building stage delays. “I have seen a fantastic turn-around over the last few weeks as we get the centre ready for the public and I’m looking forward to finally getting the doors open on April 30, so everyone can try out the facilities for themselves.”

SOUTHWARK'S RUNNERS raised thousands on Sunday, April 24, as they were among 40,000 people in the 2016 London marathon.
Bermondsey runner Kevin Downey completed his 27th marathon, smashing his £2,500 fundraising target for the News’ Evelina Children’s Hospital appeal by more than £300. Kevin said: “Normally you get a few gaps in the crowd but this year there weren’t and they were cheering us all on for the whole thing, which was great. I raised £2,898.06, but there is more to come. “I want to say thank you to everyone who supported me from the bottom of my heart. Especially Pat from the Blue Anchor for holding charity nights for me and a great after party. “This was my 27th marathon and I want to do three more before I turn 60. Then I’m hanging up my boots.” Bermondsey born and bred Paul Roberts was one of twelve runners from the ITV Sports London Marathon Team running for the NSPCC to improve the ChildLine Services. The 42-year-old TV Producer said: “We have so far raised almost £17,000. The day was great, the best part was going through Rotherhithe and
Kevin Downey (main); Tony Mok (top, right); Emma D’Arcey and Paul Roberts
Bermondsey, particularly Jamaica Road.” Despite a toe injury on Tower Bridge, Paul soldiered on and managed to finish the course in a time of 5 hours 40 minutes and 38 seconds. He said: “The people of Bermondsey again proved that they are the best at support on the marathon route.” East Dulwich professional, Tony Mok, ran the Marathon in honour of his mum, who is living with Multiple Sclerosis.
He said: “The day went very well indeed. I managed to complete the marathon in 4h 17m, which is my personal best.” He said: “Donations on my just giving page went through the roof in the run up to the race. I am currently on £1,146.65, which far surpasses my second target.” Dominic Cain, Assistant Director Revenues and Benefits Southwark Council, ran his first marathon on Sunday in memory of two work
colleagues and friends, in 3 hours 31 minutes 53 seconds. The 44-year-old has so far raised £7,461 for Bowel Cancer UK in honour Calvin Tigere & Mike who were lost to the disease in a short space of time in 2014. Both had worked at Southwark in Revenues and Benefits and their loss had a profound impact on many of people. Emma D’Arcey, 40, from Bermondsey finally fulfilled her dream of running the London Marathon after trying to get a place in the ballot for twelve years. The textile designer was aiming to raise £1,500 for a charity in Kolkata, India which provides a home for life for disabled children and young adults who have no family and have been abandoned on the streets of Kolkata, India but she ended up raising double her target amount. She said: “£3001.43. I couldn’t believe it and it’s going to such an incredible cause. David Earp the founder is a very special person and the team that work at shuktara are equally brilliant.”

Help officer find lost wedding ring A SOUTHWARK copper lost his wedding ring while on duty during the Marathon, a month before his 10th anniversary.
Simon Smith has been served the borough for fourteen years and lost the platinum ring from Tiffany and Co while cycling along the route. He only noticed the ring was gone when he took his gloves off near the end of the day near the McDonald’s on Evelyn Street, Deptford. Emma-Jane Smith, Simon’s wife, said: “He thinks he lost it before the marathon started at around 9:30am. He was taking off his cycling gloves at the final location and then noticed it was gone. “We bought the ring in New York before we got married. It was very romantic. We kept them till we got married 18 months later. It will be our 10 year anniversary on May 20. “He never takes it off. He was devastated. I could tell by his voice that he was upset. With the amount of people around there wasn’t much hope of finding it. He tried to and even went through a bin.” Emma-Jane and Simon live in Kent with their three children, a daughter aged seven, and sons aged two and one. Anyone who believes they have found the ring, please hand it in at your nearest police station.

A HUNDRED years ago Marcel Duchamp opened the door to what became called Conceptual Art with his ‘readymades’, the most famous of which was his submission to the un-juried exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in New York -‘Fountain’, that was, in fact, a urinal that he signed with a pseudonym. It was rejected, writes Michael Holland ...

which is more like a glass of water on a shelf than an oak tree, because it is just a glass of water on a shelf! Add this to photographs of an artist eating his own words – literally – and you get a feel for what the exhibition is about. If you do not have an open mind then stay away, but for the adventurous among us who want to be informed, enlightened and entertained I recommend you go and have a look. The entrance fee also gives you access to Tate Britain’s wonderful collection of artworks, so after the Conceptual Art we strolled through the galleries looking at some now-famous modern work. At Tracey Emin’s My Bed, my art guru looked at this nightmare vision of empty booze bottles, fag butts, stained sheets and worn underwear, and said: ‘My son Freddy can do this.’ Genius.

Usually it is an anxiety built up from worrying if the production is going to be any good and you have wasted an evening not enjoying yourself, but for Funny Girl the question on everyone’s mind was ‘How good is this going to be?’ The press had seen it all before when Sheridan Smith brought Fanny Brice to life in a triumphant run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, so this was the most eagerly awaited West End transfer for many a year. And Ms Smith did not disappoint. She never does. The awards and praise being draped over her for the body of work she has produced are all warranted. Here at the Savoy Theatre she got a cheer merely for walking on! Funny Girl is an Ugly Duckling story; a rags to riches tale, but one that is true. It could even be seen as the story of Sheridan Smith and her meteoric rise to fame that has seen her, over the years, produce great work on stage and screen, and clock up her impressive number of prestigious awards. Fanny Brice was told that she would not amount to anything from an early age, but her attitude, persona and propensity to make people laugh got her to the very top of her trade, appearing for many years as the star of the famous Zeigfeld Follies. On the way up there is Nick Arnstein, a suave, lovable shyster

Funny Fanny is no Folly
The Future is Orange
In the 1960s artists once again began to abandon traditional approaches to art and sculpture and made the idea the main thrust of the work. Tate’s ‘Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979’ exhibition explores this pivotal period in British history, which changed the way we think about art to this day. As with anything that differs from the ‘norm’, modern, abstract or conceptual art has its lovers and its haters, and this show will extract both commendation and condemnation in equal amounts. I went with someone who has an open mind to all art, who knows what he likes and tells it like it is. On entering, the first work is Roelof Louw’s Soul City, a tetrahedron of oranges. As I found myself mesmerised by the work that had gone into putting this together my companion whispered: ‘Because he did it and called it Soul City, it’s art. If I did it I’d be a greengrocer.’ Not one to argue with logic I conceded. This art lover then proceeded to nick an orange, get me to photograph him sitting next to it in front of a Bridget Riley piece that he did admire, and told me we had now created art. I had to agree. Further on he explained why he liked Michael Craig Martin’s An Oak Tree,

whose cash flow has some serious ups and downs throughout his life, but not enough to stop Fanny falling in love and marrying him. And because this is a true story there is no obvious, predictable ending, so I, being programmed to the usual trajectory of musicals, was wrongfooted several times. Smith’s training in TV sitcoms gives her a comedic edge here, getting laughs out of the adoring audience with just a look or a touch of slapstick, as well as nicely delivered one-liners. Darius Campbell as Nick is just as good, allowing Smith to take all the laughs while he delivers a

Thinking inside the box LEON 7 CANVEY ST, BANKSIDE, SE1 9AN 020 7620 0035
WWW.LEONRESTAURANTS.CO.UK YEH, YEH, I’m one of those who makes all the New Year resolutions and gives them up by the second week in January, but this time I’m really committed to getting my waist size back to a sensible 50 inches before Christmas Pudding comes round again, and April is the month for me to get on the health-conscious mindfulness vibe that is taking over the developed world, writes Michael Holland...
So, I began my new regime with a 5mile history-mystery walk around the City with healthy-eating fanatic Nina
The Ballerina (who counts the calories in fresh air) alongside me to ensure I did not cheat by jumping on a bus to get from one mystery to the next. The whole thing conveniently ended near Southwark Bridge where we followed up our perambulation in Leon, a superfood, super-healthy, fast food establishment that is on its way to transforming how we eat in the busy 21st century living of today. There is no time for crockery and metal cutlery here; the food comes in recycled, biodegradable boxes with plastic knives and forks that can de dispensed with responsibly. You order quickly from an overhead menu and it comes to you fast so you can get back out into the trendy Bankside surroundings to eat alfresco, or back to the office to dine al-desko while you work through your lunch hour. In Leon, time is not for wasting but the food is definitely for tasting. Talking to the nutritionist who was involved in the creation of the Leon menu I was reliably informed that I would feel better, be better, look
younger and live longer from ingesting the foods used in the meals here. She looked good on it so I was hooked. ‘I’ll have what she’s had,’ I cried. And before I had time to do a couple of laps of the table our selections arrived: Chargrilled Chicken Pot, Fries, Hummus; Sweet Potato Falafel; Morrocan Meatballs; Superfood Salad and a Clean Green Shake! Yowzah! I feel better already. The chicken involved tender chunks of subtly marinated breast, and the meatballs were light and fluffy while also being meaty, which was rather miraculous, and the sauce, rice and salad they came with fitted perfectly with the balls and the Leon ethos. The Fries were like no other I’d ever had and dunked nicely in the mayo and barbecue sauce dips, while the Superfood Salad made up of avocado, cucumber, mint, peas, broccoli, feta and quinoa (Don’t forget it’s pronounced keeeeeenwah, Darling’) seemed to give me a legal high! The Ballerina thought that a Pumpkin Seed topping would have added
protein and essential oils to that dish while slowing down the energyrelease process, but I was too busy thinking about how many goals Spurs had scored against United to be listening with any real enthusiasm. Between mouthfuls of this healthy and high living food a good guzzle of the Clean Green Shake washed away any dreams of the deep-fried Mars Bars I’ve been addicted to these past months and filled me with a new zeal for a hale and hearty life. Towards the end we both found ourselves quite full, but not that kind of full where you need to loosen the belt and lay down, but one where you want to skip outside to be beneath a blue sky and be at one with nature as the slow-release energy foods worked their magic. Leon could and should be the future. Organic, healthy, well-sourced food is what is trending right now and we all need to be thinking that way. After we had lunched at Leon I felt like running all the way home but my car was parked round the corner...

South London’s expanding property market S
ebastian Kalmar, director of KALMARs’ residential, discusses the expanding south London property market and KALMARs’ ambition to lead this market:
After 20 years in The City/West End KALMARs moved to South London in 1986, where they have dedicated themselves to gaining an exceptional understanding of the area. With the building of The Shard and other significant investment projects in recent years along with whispers of a south Bakerloo line extension and other travel improvements – thorough local knowledge is becoming even more crucial to clients looking to navigate the increasingly complex market. “When we started working in south London some of the largest developments were warehouse conversions in Shad Thames or industrial units but now our clients, including Berkeley Homes, have put together some of the largest development projects in London and
in fact Europe, from the Elephant and Castle regeneration to the Canada Water Masterplan.” KALMARs have helped with much of the shaping of South London as they were the first estate agents to be based in Shad Thames, SE1 and have sold more development sites in South London than any other agents. With prices seeing no signs of abating – overall UK house prices increased by 7.9 per cent in the year to January 2016 according to the Office for National Statistics’ House Price Index released in March – the pressure to invest money successfully or sell at the best possible price, is one KALMARs does its best to address. “Since selling a property is a very important transaction for all parties we have a dedicated team member focussed on marketing each unique property or helping with every search. It gives our customers someone they can build a relationship with and by having most of our team living and working
in South London – we are fully committed to the area,” adds Sebastian, and with staff spending on average 8 years with the company, it seems the team feel the same way. As well as high expectations for service, Sebastian suggests that a rising list of demands is becoming more common. “Over recent years specifications have greatly improved, with developments we are handling now featuring very high-end components like iPad controls, German Poggenpohl
kitchens, designer Tom Dixon lighting and Villeroy & Boch bathrooms.” And KALMARs has every intention of meeting each and every client’s expectations. “We want to be easily accessible within the areas we know and love so our plan is to open five offices across south London. The first part of this expansion is already underway with our team working to open a residential office in Bermondsey later this year.” It may be an ambitious expansion plan but it is one which demonstrates the
agency’s belief in the prosperity of the area in a concrete way, and one which may see the south London property market having trouble keeping up with KALMARs.

A New Quarter fo
Quebec Quarter, Canada Water SE16
L&Q ANNOUNCES the first release of Private Sale homes at Quebec Quarter, a major new residential district for Canada Water.
Set in peaceful landscaped grounds, within striking distance of Canary Wharf and a 15 minute commute from London’s West End, the development will offer a total of 151 one, two and three bedroom Private Sale apartments and 69 one and two bedroom Shared Ownership homes. Cathy Lloyd, Sales and Marketing Director for L&Q, comments, “Quebec Quarter makes a major contribution to the regeneration of this increasingly popular area, and
helps to further establish L&Q as a major Private Sale developer in London, competing with some of the capital’s largest housebuilders. The three bedroom Private Sale units, a number of which are available in the first release, are considerably larger than the average for London, so we anticipate a good deal of interest from young families, as well as young professionals and first time buyers for the smaller units.” Designed by Alan Camp Architects, Quebec Quarter comprises of seven distinct stepped blocks, designed as a nod to the adjacent, Russia Dock Woodland and award winning Stave Hill

or Canada Water Ecological Park. Alan Camp founder of Alan Camp Architects, comments, “Every aspect of Quebec Quarter has been designed to promote a strong sense of community here in Canada Water; sixty five percent of the total site area is dedicated to ‘green’ activities and features – including extensive communal grounds, play areas and a cross site path leading directly into Russia Dock Woodland next door. On site facilities for use by the wider community include a gymnasium, nursery and community hall.” Inside, Private Sale properties come with contemporary kitchens complete with smooth lacquered units and a plethora of integrated top-of-the-range AEG appliances. Pristine bathrooms have smart white sanitaryware by Roca and porcelain floor and wall tiles. Underfoot, floor finishes include quality engineered flooring in Oak Animoso to living areas and halls, with luxurious carpets in soothing soapstone in the bedrooms. The light-filled apartments, the majority of which are dual aspect, come with floor to ceiling windows, and each has an outside terrace or balcony. Upper level properties have spectacular views of the surrounding woodland and nearby Canary Wharf. Perfectly positioned, Quebec Quarter is equidistant from Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations offering fast commuting times into The City and the West End. The area is set to become even better
connected following the completion of the proposed Brunel Bridge in 2020 – a foot and cycle bridge connecting Canada Water with Canary Wharf. The increasingly vibrant area surrounding Canada Water Underground Station offers a number of popular independent shops, restaurant and cafes, as well as the iconic bronze aluminum clad Canada Water Library. A short walk from Quebec Quarter is the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, which is set to become a shopping mecca when a £34 million redevelopment programme is completed within the next 5 years.
Prices for the first release of new homes at Quebec Quarter range from £770,000 to £845,000 for a 3 bedroom Private Sale apartment. From the 30th of January 2016, the fully furnished show apartment will be open Thursday – Saturday 10am -5pm, Sunday 10am – 4pm & Monday 10am – 5pm. Viewings are by appointment only. Subsequent phases will be launching throughout 2016, with the development scheduled for completion early 2017. One bedroom Private Sale properties are scheduled to launch in mid2016. The first phase of Shared Ownership homes is due to launch in spring 2016.

buying process is innovative and engaging for our customers. “Young professionals and investors are likely to make up a large proportion of our customers, attracted by the hard-to-beat commuter connections and a fantastic location that is rumoured to become one of London’s liveliest and most popular neighbourhoods.” The Anthology Deptford Foundry development, designed by Rolfe Judd Architecture, will provide a mix of social rented homes, shared ownership and open market homes along with commercial premises offering creative studios that will be ideal for local artists. The development will also include two new play spaces and landscaped areas to promote biodiversity.

DULWICH HAMLET lost their final league game of the season at Needham Market on Saturday but due to results elsewhere they will take part in the post season play offs. The Pink and Blues lost to 2-1 in Suffolk, points that meant Market avoided relegation, but as Enfield Town only drew 0-0 with League champion Hampton and Richmond Borough Dulwich scraped into the play off mix.
A brace of goals from Luke Ingram was enough for Needham to nab three points on Saturday, with Dipo Akinyemi bagging his fifth goal in as many appearances in response for Dulwich. The Champion Hill side will now take part in the play off mix for the fourth time in the last six seasons, although they have never been promoted through them. Tonight Dulwich will travel to Bognor Regis Town for a one legged semi-final play off clash, with the winner going through to a final on Bank Holiday Monday. Hamlet have done the league double over the Sussex side this season although Bognor have won their last six games on the bounce, a run that took them to within a point of the league title. This clash will be the third time the pair have contested a play off game. Dulwich won the first encounter in 2011, a Ryman League South play off semi-final game, before Bognor prevailed 1-0 in the same league’s play off final twelve months later.

MILLWALL GOT a run of three games in six days underway with a 1-1 draw away at Yeovil Town Ladies on Sunday. The Lionesses took the lead three minutes before the break when Leighanne Robe’s long free kick into the box was met by Fliss Gibbons who looped a header over Charlotte Haynes to open her account for the season. A vocal and passionate home crowd pushed their side on and after 74 minutes Helen Bleazard won the ball near the corner flag and rolled a cross in to Sarah Wiltshire who smashed into the top corner to level things up.
Lionesses Manager Rebecca Sawiuk said: “Our whole commitment, passion and desire was worthy of the three points. “We felt hard done by but I’m sure Jamie [Sherwood – Yeovil manager] will say the same.” Yeovil will play the Lionesses again this Saturday as part of a unique doubleheader with the Millwall men’s team. The Lionesses will play after the men’s game against Oldham and entry will be free for those who stay behind. The women’s team were also in action last night against London Bees, to find out the result of that game visit millwall.fawsl.com.

Billy Shinners bagged two weekend goals
STANSFELD REMAIN in second place in the Kent County Premier Division after another solid performance away at Kent Invicta League bound Snodland Town on Saturday.
The Bermondsey side prevailed 2-0 on the day with the deadlock being finally broken on 74 minutes when Billy Shinners beat the Snodland offside trap and broke into the box before calmly slotting the ball past the keeper into the bottom left hand corner of the net. The points were wrapped up
five minutes from time when Shinners doubled his and Stansfeld's total with a sharp finish from the edge of the six yard box, after a terrific run and cross from Billy Jolley. Stansfeld manager Lloyd Bradley said: “This was our fourth clean sheet in a row, which we have got to be pleased with. “Billy Shinners took his two goals really well to give us a comfortable win, but he would be the first to say this victory was all about a great team display by all thirteen players that played a part.”
Dionne Lennon with the Docklands teams
EX-MILLWALL LIONESSES star Dionne Lennon pitched in with Docklands U14 parents as they played a game against the youngsters from the junior football club.
She was invited to play in a players v family match by manager Danny Belcher, who said: “Dionne was at Millwall for fourteen years and captain for the last six of those seasons. “So we were privileged as a club for Dee Dee to play and she certainly didn’t look rusty one bit considering she hasn’t
played for months after retiring as a loyal servant for the Lioness.” The game finished 4-3 as both teams were mixed up for the last half hour of the match. Lennon said: “Danny’s a good friend and has always been a good supporter throughout my career, it was a pleasure to be invited and I always love giving time back to grass roots of the game. “I think a lot of coaches like a Danny who commit so much of their time with a passion, all on a voluntary basis.”

PECKHAM BOXER Johnny Garton will get his long awaited title shot next month when he fights Ryan Fields at York Hall, Bethnal Green.
Garton won a final eliminator for the English welterweight crown before Christmas but has had to wait to get his shot at a national title. That opportunity will finally come on
May 7 when he will take on a man who is the current Midlands Area champion. Millwall supporting Garton, who is a former Southern Area title holder, has lost just one of his eighteen outings as a pro.

Millwall vs Oldham Athletic
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL NEED just a point at home to Oldham Athletic this Saturday to confirm their place in the 2015-16 League One playoffs.
The Lions are also still not out of contention for automatic promotion: Should they defeat the Latics at The Den, and second-placed Burton lose at home to Gillingham, then that race will go down to the final day of the season on May 8. Walsall can still also finish in the top two. Shaun Williams serves the final game of his three-game ban after his red card at Coventry. Lee Gregory and Shane Ferguson are again doubts after missing the 3-1 win at Bury last weekend. Oldham were 22nd in the League One table after their 2-1 defeat to the Lions on January 9. John Sheridan was appointed manager to try to rescue the side after the disastrous spells in charge of Darren Kelly and David Dunn had left them deep in relegation trouble. The Latics had won just three league games all season and were five points adrift of safety after Lee Gregory and Steve Morison scored either side of Mike Jones’ equaliser. While Millwall have lost just three times in their last 20 league games, Sheridan’s appointment was a timely one. They lost their first two fixtures under him but a seven-game unbeaten run gave them the belief they could avoid the drop. The signings of Matt Palmer, Curtis Main and Anthony Gerrard have given them added quality and they confirmed their League One status for next

MILLWALL’S U21S clinched their place in the Professional Development League 2 play-offs with a 2-0 win at Ipswich Town on Monday.

Midfielder Kyron Farrell gave his side the lead at the Tractor Boys before trialist Joseph Otudeko doubled the lead.

“We know realistically second spot is probably out of reach,” Taylor said. “Oldham are doing well at the moment and if we win that we will no doubt check on the Burton result. If we win and they were to lose, that gives us a chance going into the last game of the season, and that’s all we are after. “It’ll be very weird. I left four

Powell initially joined the National League side in November and played three times, before he joined for a second time in March. But 22-year-old Powell found it difficult to secure a place in manager Danny Cowley’s side, starting just once and making three substitute appearances. Lions goalkeeper Tom King is still at the club and aiming to help them clinch a play-off place this weekend for a chance to win promotion to the Football League.

CHRIS TAYLOR provided the luck, and then the quality, to ensure Millwall need just one point from their two remaining league games to secure their place in the playoffs.
A win at home to Taylor’s former club Oldham this weekend will mean Burton must get a result against Gillingham to guarantee automatic promotion. But the Lions are still in the hunt and in the form to pounce on any slip-up Burton may make, even if that remains unlikely. So a third play-off campaign in seven years beckons. If Neil Harris’ side get a positive result this weekend they can start making plans for mid-May when the race for the Championship will become a knockout competition. And perhaps, with that in mind, Millwall will be better off to forget about their recent history in the knockout format. League Two Wycombe and Barnet triumphed on dreary evenings at The Den this season, but there is a darker spectre from their recent past that Lions fans will be hoping they can avoid until at least a potential final at Wembley. Bradford defeated Millwall 4-0 in an FA Cup replay last season. In October, Tony Craig picked up a serious knee injury against Phil Parkinson’s side that kept him out for almost six months, and then the Bantams won 1-0 at Valley Parade in a bruising contest in March. They are big and awkward and best avoided for as long as possible. But that’s for another day and they have also yet to confirm their place in the top six. In fact, Port Vale in eleventh still have an outside chance at achieving that. Bury were an unpredictable opponent on Saturday. They’d secured their League One status a week before so could play with expression and without fear, and Harris said his players had to adjust to that environment. “I thought Bury would play with some freedom, and they played really openly,” Harris said. “At times they were leaving four up the field when we were taking throw-ins. Obviously, you’re not used to that, we’ve not seen that this season. “So it was a great learning curve for my players, we had react in our positional play and we spoke about that at half-time. We were much better in the second half at it.” This win boosted an already impressive goal difference that stood at minus six after the first five league games of the season. It’s now plus 20 and could be decisive if it comes into calculations for second place or sixth in the final standings. At a supporters meeting in ‘Arry’s

Midfielder’s double and Morison strike puts Lions on brink of play-offs
Bar before the beginning of the season, when one of the fascinations was around how the team would play, one generously refreshed individual suggested to Harris that Steve Morison had been brought in for the purpose of getting his head on the incessant number of long balls that would rain down on the opponent’s box. In the 33rd minute at Gigg Lane on Saturday, Millwall demonstrated their more subtle attacking abilities when Taylor spotted the run of Morison over his shoulder, back-heeled the ball
between two Bury defenders, and his captain planted a shot into the far corner for his eighteenth goal of the season. They were already a goal up after Taylor’s corner had gone directly over the head of Bury goalkeeper Chris Neal and into the far corner of the net in the fourth minute. Not that the contest was a thing of beauty and Shakers boss David Flitcroft lamented afterwards he wished his side were able to “win ugly” like their opponents. Bury gave themselves a chance to disrupt Millwall’s stride towards
the play-offs when Ryan Lowe smashed in off the bar in added time at the end of the first half. But the Lions were professional after the break, and it was another intelligent combination between Morison and Taylor that sealed the points, the on-loan Blackburn player driving home his third goal in eight games from Morison’s cross in the 83rd minute. Millwall are into the home stretch, and the last home game of the season this weekend will go some way to signposting the twist and turns still to come.

Young attacker was a talented athlete but football was first EXCLUSIVE
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
AS A youngster in school, Fred Onyedinma was encouraged by his PE teacher not to dismiss other athletic pursuits in case a career in football didn’t materialise.
Onyedinma could run the 100 metres in just over eleven seconds when he was in year ten, but running past defenders was all he could think about. So he ignored his teacher’s advice. But he absorbed other lessons more readily and naturally and he is now in a position to go back to Corelli College – formerly Kidbrooke School – in Greenwich to pass on what he has learned. Onyedinma explains: “I never used to listen to my PE teacher when he used to say, ‘If you don’t go further with football you should think about taking up athletics’. I was good at the 100 metres and triple jump. But I never used to pay attention to that because I just wanted to be a footballer. “He always used to keep at it with me. He always used to tell me when I was playing for the school team that you can have all the talent but you need to listen a lot, take things on
board. That’s what separates the good players from the best players. They listen and they apply it to their game. “You always have to work hard and if you have talent then that hard work will take you far. “He comes to the games sometimes. If he wants to talk to me after a game we’ll go for a coffee and he still advises me. “Sometimes he asks me to come down to the school just to speak to the younger kids. I was in that situation where you want to be a footballer but you never know how it’s going to work out in the future. I would always try and do my best to help someone. “I enjoyed school and I think I was alright at it, but it was mostly all football for me.” After a storming start to this season when he got an assist on the opening day at Shrewsbury and then scored twice in the 3-2 defeat to Barnsley little over a week later, Onyedinma has found himself out of the first team for spells this campaign. The return from injury of Aiden O’Brien and subsequent arrivals and then successes of first Jed Wallace and then Chris Taylor meant game time was limited. But even if he wasn’t as visible in the first team as he was earlier in the season he was an important member
of Justin Skinner’s U21 side as they competed at the top end of their division. The irony of his second full campaign as a professional is that when Millwall were at their most ragged, Onyedinma was at his most exciting. As Neil Harris’ side has evolved into a tighter, more disciplined unit the more free-spirited Onyedinma has had to adapt aspects of his game and be aware of the specific individual requirements in the team collective. “It’s frustrating when you’re not in the team but you have to get your head down,” Onyedinma said. “That’s what football is about, fighting for your place. “You just learn that every season. You’re just waiting for your opportunity. If the team are winning you might be coming on to help see the game out, so it’s a different approach. If we’re winning 1-0 and I come on I’m not going to try to attack, it’s about keeping the lead. “For a young player it’s more about trying to be consistent. At the beginning of the season I was more consistent. It’s easy to say as a young player you play a game and you’re not feeling it. I think I can still improve on that. One thing is that in my position you can get tired and fatigued but it’s
about maintaining that fitness for the whole season. “It’s also not like your modern-day system in a 4-3-3 where you’re playing as an attacker. In this team you have to do both sides of the job of a midfielder.” Onyedinma was back in the starting XI for the first time in a month against Bury last weekend as Millwall moved closer to confirming a top-six finish. That was just his second start in 2016 and even though he could end up playing a significant part at the end of the season, he is always keen to shift the focus back to the collective. “I was delighted that I was back and what I try to do is always work hard to get back into the team,” Onyedinma said. “But it’s not about me. It’s all about where we are at the moment. “The manager always tells us to be positive. Obviously we want to play with freedom but he tells us to stick to the basics as well.” Those basics have taken the side far this season and they are the principles that Harris is hoping will help take Millwall back to the Championship at the first attempt. Onyedinma’s old school’s motto is, ‘Learning together, enjoying success’. It could end up being an apt description of his and Millwall’s season.

MILLWALL 47
Fred Onyedinma has provided some thrilling moments this season
League One play-of f dates set
THE FOOTBALL League have confirmed the provisional 201516 League One play-off dates.
Millwall need just one more point from their final two fixtures to book their place for a shot at a return to the Championship via Wembley. The side that finishes third after the final round of fixtures on May 8 will play the side that finishes sixth. Fourth will play fifth. The Lions could potentially still finish in any of the five positions behind leaders Wigan with two games left. Meanwhile, Gillingham, Scunthorpe, Sheffield United, Rochdale and Port Vale all still have a chance to finish in the top six. Should Millwall lose their final two league games and other results go against them, they would miss out on the play-offs altogether, though that is an unlikely scenario. Provisional play-off dates: Match A: Leg 1: Saturday, May 14 (5.30pm) Leg 2: Thursday, May 19 (7.45pm) Match B: Leg 1: Sunday, May 15 (12.15pm) Leg 2: Friday, May 20 (7.45pm)

Harris said: “I thought Aiden was excellent at Coventry, excellent in the second half at Bury last weekend when he grew into the game. “I’ve been talking about Fred for weeks now and he came in and had a good hour on Saturday.

Aiden O’Brien and Fred Onyedinma started the season strongly before coming back into the team recently after spells on the fringes of the first eleven.

Jimmy had a spell out of the team but he’s everywhere on the pitch again now. “Tony Craig is also back in the squad and 100 per cent fit, so it’s promising.” Lee Gregory and Shane Ferguson are again doubts for this weekend’s clash with Oldham, and Harris stressed they won’t be risked if they’re not fully fit. “I’m lucky I’ve got people knocking on my door saying, ‘I’m fit, I want to
Fred: Den support will make difference
A Millwall win combined with a Burton loss at home to Gillingham at the weekend, meanwhile, would ensure the scramble for automatic promotion would go to the last day. Millwall’s travelling support has swelled as the promotion race has heated up, and Onyedinma hopes the contribution of the
fans will be the boost they need to get a positive result in their last home game of the regular league season. “Towards the end of the season, because we’ve been doing quite well, they’ve really been supporting us,” Onyedinma said. “In away games you can really hear them, and it’s extra motivation for us.

“It feels like the season has gone really quickly and in the position we’re in we’ll need them to support us.” Onyedinma, 19, made his first start since the 1-0 defeat to Bradford on March 26 as Millwall claimed three points with a 3-1 win at Bury last weekend.

That’s brilliant for me as a coach. “But we have to be really careful, we have to look at the big picture all the time. We can’t just look at Saturday’s game, we need to look at the week after and what comes after that. I don’t want to take gambles with people.” Millwall have lost just three of their last 20 league games, and Onyedinma believes the form that has driven their promotion bid is in a large part down to the humility of those involved. Onyedinma said: “With everyone – the staff, the players and people at the club – everyone’s in it together. There are no egos, we’re all just trying to do our part for the team and get this club back to the Championship.” THE RECYCLED PAPER CONTENT OF UK NEWSPAPERS IN 2014 WAS 83.5%
