Our Greenwich will outline the Council’s vision for 2030 and missions for the next four years (2022 to 2026). The plan will highlight some of the biggest challenges we face as a borough, and the missions we will set ourselves going forward.

Cllr Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Council, said: “This borough belongs to us all. We all have our own connections, our own stories. That’s why this plan is so important, because it will be ours too.

“Whether your family has been here for generations, or you are making your mark in Greenwich for the first time, we’re asking for help from everybody to help us shape what the next four years will look like.

“We want to speak to everyone, young and old, from all walks of life, to really understand what makes this Our Greenwich . We should all have a say in how we tackle issues, build communities and make Royal Greenwich the best it can be.”

Over the next month we will be out and about in the borough speaking to as many people as possible.

Look for us on your high street or outside your train station. You can also check our online portal for a list of community events.

You can also help us by taking part in our online survey. It only takes five minutes but will help us for the next four years!

Kilig, Deptford review: Colombia meets the Philippines in SE8

These days, if you live somewhere even vaguely cosmopolitan, you’ll be able to tuck into fusion cuisines marrying off flavours from different corners of the world. In London, we’ve everything from high-end restaurants (yep, plural!) specialising in Italian-Japanese dishes to street food stalls cobbling together Korean burritos. As such, news of a new restaurant in Deptford fusing flavours from Colombia and the Philippines is unlikely to have garnered many gasps, but dine here and plenty of dishes will make you purr, writes Holly O’Mahony…

The restaurant in question is Kilig (meaning ‘inexplicable joy’ in the national language of the Philippines, Tagalog), and it’s the first joint venture from restaurant pros and Deptford locals, Anjelica Serra and Ivan Ruiz, who bring their respective Filipino and Colombian roots to the kitchen.

Housed in a railway arch just off Deptford High Street, Kilig exudes the kind of energy that makes turning up for a meal here on a Saturday night feel just as filled with potential as heading onto the dance floor of a club. A bar runs the length of the long, thin restaurant, over which hangs a strip of warm yellow lights, caged in wicker shades. It was full, on our visit, with guests of seemingly of all ages and backgrounds chatting away animatedly. Though opportunities to eavesdrop on anyone else’s conversation were drowned out by the pumping beats of the cool-sounding playlist (not a song of which I knew, but that’s probably a good thing) thrumming in the background.

It’s the sort of setting that pretty much demands you order a cocktail. Drinks are Ivan’s area of expertise and the list here is both tropical and seasonal. A watermelon Margarita (the fruit soon to be swapped out for a more autumnal variety) was served in a highball; unusual, but here it worked well: the sweet, refreshing melon cutting through the punchy tang of the lime-muddled tequila, while a rim of boldly-sized salt crystals added a welcome bite.

My companion chuckled that his mango pisco sour was so light he had to remind himself it was not quite as innocent as it tasted.

Then, on a parade of warm, stone plates, came the procession of dishes. A top tip: don’t skip the ‘snacks’ portion of the menu. These bite-sized flavour bombs are canapé-style tributes to Kilig’s far-flung roots.

On the Filipino side, the pork and shrimp lumpia arrived spring roll style with a juicy, meaty filling flecked through with spring onion, hiding inside a sleeping bag of thin, delicate pastry. From the Colombian side came two national specialities: empanadas and arepas. Of the former, the sweetcorn, chilli and mozzarella variety came with a real kick, but was mercifully offset by its accompanying coriander and lemongrass yoghurt. Better, though, was its pork-topped neighbour with a slice of syrupy, blackened pineapple complementing the salty meat.

Of the arepas, which were lightly fried and looked like maize-based blinis, the calamansi and lemongrass chicken version slightly outshone its jackfruit plate partner, but veggies won’t be disappointed by the latter.

A main of chilli Shetland mussels with coconut sambal were forgettable, but the side of cassava fries Anjelica wisely recommended we order with them were spiced and crisped to just the right degree – and a welcome chance to try this South American favourite.

It’s with a heavy heart that I tell those of you about to hop online and book a table that the dish that stole our hearts is about to be dropped for winter. The chicken thigh salad comes with grill-scorched meat sliced above a bed of fregola pasta pearls and fresh spinach, spooned by thick slivers of sweet mango. It was

nothing short of heavenly, so let’s hope they bring it back next summer.

Forcing our stomachs not to give up on us before dessert, we try a slice of the baked cassava cheesecake, dyed an impressive purple by the ube, but a little too firm and fridge cold in texture. Better were the ube churros, lightly sugar dusted and all the better for being dunked in the accompanying thimble of rich chocolate dipping sauce.

Most of what we tried – and we made a decent dent on the menu – was as exciting as it was exotic, and very moreish. Sometimes you don’t know what’s been missing from your life until it’s half-eaten on a plate in front of you. It turns out a Colombian-Filipino fusion of flavours was very much missing from mine. I’ll be returning to Kilig

TRAVEL THROUGH SOUNDWAVES

Whether or not we’ve experienced it ourselves, we’re all familiar with the concept of grieving a person and the wistful sadness it conjures. In our lifetimes, we’ll likely be forced to confront ecological grief, but how do we approach grieving for the climate? Multidisciplinary collective Dissonant Futures thinks a sound memorial made up of audible environmental changes might be the answer. Their ‘Loss and Found’ sound installation is free to visit in the garden at the Albany theatre in Deptford, writes Holly O’Mahony…

World music at Woolwich Works

From Iran to India and China to Colombia, Woolwich Works is celebrating music from around the world this Friday, hosting two collectives which have travelled the globe through the airwaves and brought back interesting ‘ethno-samples’ to splice together. Digital music maestros Addictive TV are presenting a live version of their ‘Orchestra of Samples’ project. They’ll be sharing the stage with Iranian musician and sound designer Pouya Ehsaei, who performs his electro-dance music event ‘Parasang’, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Addictive TV’s ‘Orchestra of Samples’ has earned critical acclaim for its pioneering use of audio-visual sampling, which takes audiences on a musical journey without borders. The concerts fuse together improvised recordings taken from hundreds of musicians all over the world, connecting cultures and making bedfellows of an unlikely mix of genres.

Similarly diverse is Pouya Ehsaei’s ‘Parasang’ project, a part electro, part live collaboration with guest musicians from around London and the world, spanning genres including jazz, hip-hop, AfroCuban, techno and Iranian folk music. Pouya has performed on some of London’s most

prestigious stages, including the Barbican, the Southbank Centre and Royal Albert Hall. So it’s exciting to see him bring ‘Parasang’ to Woolwich Works. The event is the second instalment of Arsenal of Sounds, a concert series hosted by online magazine Rhythm Passport. Come along and experience an unpredictable, one-off musical journey.

Woolwich Works, The Fireworks Factory, 11 No 1 Street, Royal Arsenal, London SE18 6HD. October 7, 8pm. Admission: £10.50 / £9 concessions. www.woolwich.works/events/ arsenal-of-sounds-orchestraof-samples-parasang

A sound memorial at the Albany

An international effort, Dissonant Futures has worked with the We Are Lewisham team as well as experts in both grief and climate change from across the UK and Europe to make the installation. Death doulas, mental health practitioners, campaigners, writers, filmmakers and performance artists were all involved.

Through a circular looping soundscape, the installation makes the point that humanity’s desire to always look forward and grow was never sustainable, but it also explores the current relationship

between technology and nature.

It’s an intriguing project, offering an unusual, audio-led delve into the ongoing battle against climate change.

‘Loss and Found’ comes to Lewisham as part of the Mayor’s London Borough of Culture 2022 programme. Catch the installation at the Albany before it goes on tour around the UK. The Albany, Douglas Way, London SE8 4AG. September 24 - October 9, 9am - 4pm. Admission: FREE. www.thealbany.org.uk/ shows/loss-and-found/

Lewisham Choral Society and The Frisian Chamber Orchestra

Lewisham Choral Society welcomes Holland’s Frisian Chamber Orchestra to perform with them in a concert at Blackheath Halls, writes Holly O’Mahony…

Conducted by the former’s Dan Ludford-Thomas and the latter’s Ronald Slager, the concert features leading performances from soprano Elizabeth Weisberg, alto Helen Meyerhoff, tenor Adam Tunnicliffe and bass Philip Tebb. The concert begins on an upbeat note, with Mozart’s ‘Overture to The Magic Flute’, and continues with Schubert’s ‘Unfinished Symphony’ – which remains one of the great composer’s bestloved works despite the fact it was never fully realised.

Last but not least, the choir, chamber orchestra and soloists will then collaborate on a performance of Haydn’s vibrant ‘Nelson Mass’ – the 11th of the composer’s 14 masses and one of his most celebrated.

Founded in 1950, Lewisham Choral Society has grown over the years and today is one of the largest community-based choirs in south London.

The Frisian Chamber Orchestra can usually be found performing in the Dutch province of Friesland, so the concert marks an exciting opportunity to see them live in the UK.

Blackheath Halls, 23 Lee Road, Blackheath, London SE3 9RQ.

October 8, 7:30pm. Admission: £18/£14 concessions.

14 years of CACT’s crime reduction programme

This year marks 14 years since Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) launched the Street Violence Ruins Lives (SVRL) campaign in response to the tragic death of 18-year-old Charlton fan Rob Knox.

In late 2008, CACT joined up with the Rob Knox Foundation, run by Rob’s parents Sally and Colin, to set up the SVRL campaign against knife and gun crime aiming to raise awareness in the community about the devastating impact of street violence.

Each individual young person needs support in a different way, whether that is targeted intervention or diversionary activities. And since the campaign was launched, CACT has delivered an increasingly wide range of outreach and diversionary work across South East London and Kent.

Examples include CACT’s youth engagement bus which travels to areas where serious crime has taken place within the local community to create a positive and safe environment for young people to socialise. Or enrichment sessions which vary from watersports to bowling, go-karting and even going away on residential trips.

CACT has also created an interactive County Lines & Exploitation Workshop to teach young people about the dangers of getting involved in county lines operations, with first-hand insight into how people’s lives have been impacted. The workshop has been

delivered to over 6000 young people since September 2021.

6000 hours of 1-1 mentoring with CACT staff have been delivered over the past year to young people who are showing negative behaviour such as carrying a weapon or being affiliated with a gang. This is more targeted work which sees CACT offer tailored support and guidance to encourage positive life choices.

Recently, CACT has teamed up with charity Your Stance to ensure all CACT staff who work with young people were offered emergency trauma training on how to handle serious youth violence. This

training can then be used if faced with a serious case of violence to de-escalate and ensure our staff will provide the best care they can. It has also been delivered directly to young people.

It is unfortunate that there is a need for so much crime reduction work, but it’s so important to provide this. We’re proud of what we have delivered for 14 years now yet fully aware of how vital it is that this continues to be available

The tram network

Well, after all the mysteries last week with the signalling works that no one seems to know anything about – this week I’ve got to a works where I’ve got so much information – and loads of pictures – that I’m going to be in difficulty knowing what to choose.

Incidentally – with last week’s signalling works. I put out an appeal for info via the editor of a railway history magazine. I’ve had various emails and some of them are from men who really really study the history of railway signals. Not one of them knows anything about that factory at all. But thank you to all

of them for getting in touch.

When I started writing about Charlton I said that I would look at works which were connected to the Angerstein railway as a start to describing Charlton industries. On the east – the Charlton – side of the line, there was an important works right on the Woolwich

Road. I am sure many people will remember the ‘Airfix’ building where a line of large brick gables spelt out A I R F I X in capital letters. It was demolished in the 1990s and I always understood that this was in order to recycle the high quality bricks it was built from. The actual original site is now a car parking area alongside the Angerstein Line and apparently in the possession of BOC Gases. Of course, it wasn’t originally built by Airfix –but by the London County Council.

The original way into the site was from Woolwich Road down a turning just past the Charlton side of the bridge which takes the Angerstein Railway over the main road. This is Felltram Way and now it goes absolutely nowhere except to some houses, and a car repair workshop. It was named after A.L.C.Fell who was the Chief Officer of the London County Council Tramways. And this was the Central Repair Depot.

Greenwich seems to have had some sort of a special attraction for the LCC Trams. There was of course Greenwich Power Station built originally to provide power for the entire tramway system. Also later on I will get further on in Charlton to the Tramatorium where London’s by then unwanted trams were sadly stripped and burnt. But here next to the Angerstein railway trams were repaired and cleaned. The site was chosen because of its rail access – it was connected to the Angerstein Line from 1911 - and because it was close to the river and wharf facilities. The seven acre site cost £3,850 and the works was opened on 6th March 1909 by the Chairman of the London County Council. They were said to employ 1,000 people there – and yes, some photographs show women at work there and not just as tea ladies and receptionists.

Initially only trams from south London were processed because of

the difficulties of getting vehicles across the river. In 1926 there was an agreement with the Metropolitan Electric Tramway Co. to let LCC trams over some of their system to access the repair depot. However by 1931 alterations to the Kingsway Tunnel meant that this was unnecessary.

It was a requirement of the Metropolitan Police that all public service vehicles should be overhauled and repainted every year –although in the 1920s this was extended to once every two years. There were over 1,000 tram cars and new services were planned, so a facility to undertake the work was urgently needed. By the time the depot was ready it was already too small and an extension was immediately ordered. Another third extension would have allowed 1,800 trams to be services every year but was never built because of the Great War. It was eventually opened in 1926 with facilities for ‘Pullmanisation’ which

10 October 5 2022 www.weekender.co.ukeditorial@weekender.co.uk H ISTOR y

seems to mean comfier seats and a nicer interior. In the late 1920s a large stores department was also added, thus freeing up space in working depots.

It might also be noted that in the Great War some of the capacity of the works

was used for armaments manufacture

There were also a multiplicity of other departments besides routine cleaning and maintenance – a foundry, blacksmith, tinsmith, pattern making, and much more. There

was special equipment for plough repairs – that’s the device under the tram which connects with the power source – and other features.

Half the ground floor space was however used for painting and drying the vehicles. Upstairs were offices and an apprentice school.

In the main pit was a transverser which ran the whole length of the building. This had been specially made locally by Appleby’s, whose works was on the Peninsula on the site which is now Hanson’s aggregate works.

Throughout the works was a narrow gauge railway system where trolleys were moved around by hand. At some stage in the 1980s – when all of this was long gone – I wickedly and dangerously trespassed up the side of the Angerstein line when you could then look down into the area of the old tram depot which had by then been demolished. The whole of the ground level was laid out in a network of rails and included a circular turntable. I guess all of that was pulled up years ago and

that nothing remains even in the undergrowth along the bank.

Trams were moved about the site by a ‘small saddleback steam locomotive’. On arrival the tram would be inspected. The next day the car body would be put on a moving ‘ropeway’ and overhauled as necessary. Meanwhile its ‘trucks’ and motors would be taken elsewhere to have their own inspection and overhauling procedures. Seat cushions were removed, and all electrical fittings inspected, tested, and probably replaced. Next the car would be washed down and then various parts spray painted black. Back on the ‘ropeway’ the body would be painted in colour and the various texts and letters applied as transfers.. This all took around 16 hours and there were usually eight cars in the depot being processed at any one time.

At the end of the work the newly clean and bright tramcar was taken along Woolwich Road to Charlton Church Lane and back – which doesn’t seem to me to be a long way for a test run. However it was then taken to Camberwell and the Chief Inspector for another test run. It would then

have to be re-licensed by the police.

As a relic of the tramways I remember a metal structure left on the side of the road down near the Blackwall Tunnel entrance. I looked it up and found out it was a tramway telephone box for staff use. I guess it had been left as a little monument to the trams. However – come the Olympics and some ‘tidying up’ on the Peninsula and it was gone. I don’t suppose they knew what it was anymore than I did.

I must admit to not remembering the trams at all, despite my great age. Brought up in Gravesend we only ever had buses – LT Green buses to the west, M&D to the east and you dare not get on the wrong sort of bus in the other company’s area I am aware of a lot of nostalgia for the trams and perhaps a realisation of how efficient they were, and how they should have stayed..

Oh – and Airfix – I really don’t know about them. A couple of years ago I actually bought a history of the Airfix Company and it didn’t even mention Greenwich and/or Charlton. Not once.

Celebrate and learn about Black History all year round

From quizzes, tours and workshops to interactive exhibitions, we are back with our Black History 365 (BH365) calendar of free events for the year ahead. Local arts and community groups will be putting on an exciting lineup across the borough starting this October for Black History Month.

This is part of our wider initiative to celebrate and learn about Black History beyond one month a year.

Cllr Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities, said: “The schedule for this year is fantastic. We are bringing back some of our loyal community groups that always put on a great show but also some new organisations that need their time to shine.

“Our goal is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to learn more about Black History but also get involved in recognising and celebrating the existing culture we know already.”
