JULY
UPDATE
Dear fellow member,
This is our final email before the committee's summer break. We meet again on 6th September. As you can see from the points below, there is quite a lot going on. We apologise for not sending out a summer newsletter - instead, there will be an early autumn edition.
- Western Zone congestion charge: In our June email update,
we gave you details of the third and final consultation on the abolition
of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charging Zone which finishes on
August 2nd 2010. If you have not already responded, there is now not
much time left. To respond on-line, log on to www.cclondon.com.
Otherwise, leaflets explaining the changes, which have a replied paid
comment form similar to the on-line version, can be obtained by calling
0844 811 9785.
- Beadon
Road NCP development site: As you know, planning
permission for this site known as the Strawberry was granted at the end
of 2007. Since then the plans have changed in response to the
economic downturn and on 5th July the developer's architect
BFLS gave a presentation to the committee. The new
proposals comprise two buildings in place of one, with restaurants and shops at ground
floor level alongside the new public realm. As with the approved scheme,
the upper floors would be for offices. The new scheme does not
provide basements or a cinema. The new phased scheme represents a
20% reduction in floor space and will be more readily let than the
Strawberry. The scheme could attract major global companies – employers
and customers - who wish to locate their HQ in Hammersmith See details at www.hammersmithgrovencp.co.uk.
There will be a display in a marquee in the car park, with staff available
to answer your questions, on Thursday
8th July 2 - 8 p.m., Friday 9th July 12 - 6 p.m. and Saturday 10th July 10
- 4 p.m.
- Brook Green Working Party (BGWP): The working party has
prepared its initial report on a vision for the Green, on which it
has invited the committees of the BGA and Friends of Brook Green to
comment; thereafter the report will be available for wider
consultation - keep a look-out.
- Friends of Brook Green (FoBG): We shall be
meeting with FoBG the week after next in order to discuss and co-ordinate potential areas of overlap.
- Hammersmith & City/Circle
lines temporary closure:
TfL has announced a three week closure of this line between Hammersmith
and
- Retirement of Dave Mills: Many of you who use Brook
Green will know Dave, our faithful sweeper for several years past.
He has now retired, on 15th June, and the BGA will very shortly be sending
him a token of our appreciation for the way he has looked after our
greatly loved open space.
With best wishes for an enjoyable
summer
