Another busy Town Hall week as we get into the "AGM" period with both Camberwell Neighbourhood Forum AGM's Meeting and a number of T&RA AGM's coming up!!
We have a full night tonight with 2 Council Assembly meetings back to back!
In the first meeting the new Core Stategy is comes back after a round of consultation with no plans to regenerate or develop Camberwell but word is there may be an agreement to end that tonight will be a mayor step forward!! There must be a strategic view of Camberwell which recognises the need to develop and regenerate in one of the few areas of the borough which has had no Council attention and perhaps we really can "Revitalise5" the area!!
We expect some "ill- liberal" and undemocratic" tricks tonight with lots of Lib Dems and Tories uncharacteristically wanting to contribute (from prepared notes no doubt) in a pathetic attempt to "fillibuster" a debate of the shocking state of Southwark Housing with apparently a CPA "Red Flag" imminent due to the on-going chaos!! Latest thing is getting rid of some Resident Involvement staff and sticking the rest in the Tooley Street Ivory Tower!! What are they thinking about!!
It will take us a long time to sort out the mess left when we take over in May!!!
Good campaigning session in Newington Ward over the weekend with val and the rest of the Team and a good chance to be reacquainted with the fantastic Henry Moore in the middle of the Brandon Estate!!
Hibs are now 2nd in the SPL with a pretty poor performance but a good 2-0 win over 9 man Aberdeen, highlights below:Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday!! Should be fun!!!

Hi John. Good to see the Henry More sculpture is still in place on the Brandon Estate. I remember seeing it as a kid as I grew up on the estate and assumed it had now been moved. The last time I saw it was when I represented Newington on the council in the mid 1980s. The ward was strongly labour then -and I'm sure will be so again in the near future.
Keep up the good work.

John,
Yes it is still therre and in good nick, a fantastic sculpture and a "hidden" treasure in Southwark!!
Campagning going well in Newington and the Camberwell Branch is "twinned" with them so hope to build momentum and get some of the loyal family dynasties of Newington back out on the campaign trail!
Hope you are well?
John
