Blackheath up date
Comments(0) On Saturday 25th April, a model and design proposals for the re-development of Sparta St, Lethbridge Close and part of Blackheath Hill will be on show from noon until 4pm in the community hall at 58 Lethbridge Close. Staff from the Council and Family Mosaic Housing Association will be on hand to answer questions. It is likely that a planning application will be submitted in the summer.
A planning application (DC/09/7126/X) has been submitted to build 788 flats, a leisure centre and shops in Loampit Vale which is just outside Blackheath Ward. Full details can be found on the Council’s website http://acolnet.lewisham.gov.uk/LEWIS-XSLPagesDC/acolnetcgi.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=56410.
South Eastern trains will be consulting during the summer about whether the side entrance to Lewisham station should remain open. The train company wants it closed once the work on the automatic gates and step-free access has been completed in about July. The exercise will be conducted by Mike Gibson who is South Eastern’s public affairs manager based at Friars Bridge Court, 42-45 Blackfriars Rd SE1 8PG.
The Council will be conducting a review of the 20mph zone in Blackheath Village during June and July. They will be writing to all households and businesses in the zone. We expect to receive an update on the results at the Blackheath Assembly to be held on Monday 7th September.
The campaign against the use of Greenwich Park for the 2012 Olympic equestrian events has released a report about the cost of using the park. The report produced by No to Greenwich Olympic Equestrian Events (NOGOE) can be found on their website www.nogoe2012.com.
A review of the BHA Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) was carried out some time ago. The main outcome was that some extra parking spaces were identified. Work on this should be completed over the summer.
