EditorialWe should see moreaffordable homesTHEDECISION tomake public

the documents on howmuchaffordable homes developerswill

have on all new sites in the borough is awinwin situation for residents and thecouncil.Developers, likemost businesses, arenotoriously guarded about having to divulgecommercially sensitive information, sowon’twant to risk it in order to get awaywithproviding fewer affordable homes.In a central London borough likeSouthwark, where competition betweendifferent developers is so fierce, onewill notwant to allow others to seewhat they pay andwhat deals they have struck –which is what aviability assessment lays bare.It will mean that the council will be betterable to get the 35 per cent affordable housingrequirement it wants, so residents have abetter chance of remaining in the borough.Obviously the issue over what really isaffordable continues, as rents up to 80 percentofmarket rate get that misleading label, butanythingwhich helps safeguard capped rentsin new developments is a good thing.Publishing viability assessments will bringclosed door deals out in the open for publicscrutinywhile putting pressure on developersto complywith the council’s affordablehousing quota in the first place.This will give the council and local residentsa better chance at ensuring the continuedregeneration of the borough does givesomething back to the ordinary folk ofSouthwark.And it will help the councildismiss claims of not getting the best deal forresidents.

THESHOCKING levels ofpolluted air our children aresubjected to on a daily basismean

thatwe as a boroughmust be at theforefront in findingways to change theenvironment.World leaders are currently debating climatechange in Paris and it is clear we are living onborrowed time.We, on our own, cannotmakethe bigger changes needed to ensure thatnitrogen dioxide levels are lowered, but thestudy carried out by the Policy Exchange andKing’s College London shows that all of usand our children are in danger.It’s important that all parents aremadeaware of the study published this week to feelthe urge to engage in thewider debate on howwe save our planet for future generations.

ASTHEcountdown toChristmasis now officially on, it’s fantasticto see a couple like BrianCroll

andRonald Phillip enter into the truespirit of the festive period.TheRotherhithe pair has been touched bythe brave battles of three local childrenfighting their individual illnesses. Tragically,the plight of these kids, aged just four and sixare not unique, but at a timewhen childrenacross the globewrite out their wish lists forSanta there is no doubt what each one of thesefamilies would really like. Christmas is amagical time for kids and a time for giving,what better way to start the festive period thanjoining in Brian andRonald’s fundraiser?

TWO ROTHERHITHEmen areraising money in order to givethree brave Southwark children“the best Christmas possible.”Brian Croll and his partner RonaldPhillip are fundraising for CavellNeavin, four, who has been fighting abrain tumour for the last year, CidneyDixon-Fowler, four, who has severemobility and eye issues and HarveyBrown, six, who suffers from the ultra-rare life-debilitating disease Morquio.Brian, 52 said: “We normally helpcharities each year around this time, butthis year we decided to do somethingspecial and help out these brave kids. Ijust see these three kids and think weneed to give something back and dosomething to make them smile.They’ve had to go through so much, sowe really just want to give them thebest Christmas possible.”Both men are ill themselves, Briansuffering with heart problems andRonald with Crohn’s Disease andcirrhosis of the liver. Despite this, thepair are working hard to raise as much

money as possible for the trio, whomthey only recently met. They have already raised hundreds ofpounds by auctioning off donateditems, including signed Millwallmerchandise, and by selling beautifulhome-made mirrors and suncatcherscreated by Ronald, 51. The final totalwill be split up amongst the familiesand will go towards Christmas treats forthe brave children. Nicholas Neavin, Cavell’s dad, said:“When Cavell came out of hospital

they made him a mirror that said ‘Ikicked cancer’s butt.’ They aren’tfamily members or anything, they justheard about Cavell and wanted to help.They’re just very nice people.” Keeley Fowler, Cidney’s daughter,said that, despite her many healthproblems, her daughter was “just a

normal four-year-old girl.”She said: “She’s mouthy, she’s cheekyand she’s always got a smile on herface. She goes to Moorsfield for her eyeappointments and the Sunshine Housewhere she does physiotherapy,occupational therapy and hydrotherapy.She doesn’t complain though.”

Harvey Brown’s mum Vikki said thatthe pair, who wil raffle off theremainder of the donated goods onDecember 4, were “superstars.”If you have anything you can donatefor the fundraising drive, or would liketo donate yourself, please [email protected]

BEN PURDY, the eighteen-year-old Walworth boy who wasmurdered by a love rival lastNovember, was remembered byhis friends at a testimonialfootball match last weekend. The memorial fixture was contestedbetween Walworth Wanderers, ateam made up of Ben’s friends andnicknamed ‘the Purdy boys’, and agroup of fruit and vegetable tradersfrom East Street Market, where Benworked on the curtain stall. The match took place at BurgessPark on November 29 where, despitetorrential rain and horrific weatherconditions, a good crowd turned outto remember the trainee plumber,who was also a promising footballerand Arsenal fan. Family friend Michelle Doddie,who helped to organise the match,said it was a “great event.”She told the News: “It was a really

good turn-out considering theweather, there were lots of playerstaking part and a lot of peoplewatching. “Before the match there was aminute’s silence held in memory ofBen. His friends and the markettraders’ team all mixed together forit, there was a really goodatmosphere for it.”

Michelle’s husband Ricky Graham,who is the Wanderers’ coach, said thematch was played in the right spirit. He said: “The Wanderers, who arenicknamed ‘the Purdy boys’, werewinning 2-0 at half time. Howeverthey conceded twice for it to go 2-2but won at the end. It was reallyintense but a great way to rememberBen, who I heard was a great

footballer himself.”Michelle and Ricky both extendedtheir thanks to Michelle Dullaghan,of the Burgess Park sports office,who let the match go ahead on thepark’s pitch free of charge. Ben was fatally shot in the eye byAndrew Bayne, 37, in November2014. Bayne had been recruited by his

nephew Michael Bagnall, 22, whoorganised the killing amid escalatingtensions over the affections of Ben’sgirlfriend.Bagnall, of Alpine Road,Rotherhithe, was jailed for life witha minimum of 28 years last month,and Bayne, also of Alpine Road wasjailed for life with a minimum of 30years.

MONDAY MORNING will bemore challenging than usual forcommuters going through theElephant as traffic will start goingboth ways round the junction. The notorious roundabout, which hasseen more than 80 collisions since2012, will be replaced by a two-waysystem on Sunday for the first time in50 years.

The new set up will mean some routeswill no longer be allowed so Transportfor London is advising commutersapproach the junction with caution. As part of a £25millionredevelopment of the Elephant, theseven subways are also being replacedby above-ground pedestrian crossingsand there will also be new dedicatedcycle lanes.The borough-wide 20mph speed limitwill be introduced at the junction in thespring.

A SENIOR Labour councillorhas resigned after he wasconvicted in court of assaultinghis wife, smashing the glasses offher face and leaving her with abloodied lip. Walworth councillor, Dan Garfield,hung his head in the dock at Camberwellmagistrate’s court on Tuesday morning ashis tearful estranged wife, also aSouthwark Labour councillor, read outher own victim statement. As Southwark Labour’s chief whip,responsible for keeping party members inline, Mr Garfield’s departure has left thegroup in turmoil, triggering the third by-election since itssweep to victory inMay last year. The court heardharrowing details ofhow on the night ofNovember 8 this yearMr Garfield hadattempted to slit hiswrists, leading to aconfrontation betweenhim and his wife. MrGarfield struck hertwice across the face,and also stood on herfeet and pulled herhair. As his wife bravelyread out her witness statement to thecourt she recalled how she felt whenshe waited for the police outside theirshared home in Boundary Lane,Walworth. “I was humiliated when the policecame to our flat and I felt like a failure.Standing outside bare foot in mypyjamas in the middle of the night, I feltlike you had made a fool out of me,”she said. “I replay the events over and over inmy head,” she continued, “…it hurts

every single day.”She spoke about her determination tokeep attending council meetings butsaid this had become impossible whenMr Garfield insisted on turning upwhen he knew she would be there. “[it]left me very exposed. Facing ourfriends and colleagues, I’ve beenplaced every day in a vulnerableposition,” she said. In sentencing Mr Garfield, MagistrateVanessa Baraitser said: “The nature ofthe assault is serious because you struckthe victim twice in the face, which is aparticularly vulnerable part of the body,so hard that you caused her lip to bleedand her glasses to be damaged…”adding that she would also need to takeaccount of a previous incident last yearin which Mr Garfield received a policecaution for another assault on his wife

The court heardhow Mr Garfieldhas been seeing apsychotherapist toaddress theunderlying causesof his behaviourbefore he wassentenced to atwelve monthcommunity order.He will berequired tocomplete aprogramme of 40days with theprobation serviceand pay £430 to

the court, including £130 to berefunded to his wife to pay for herbroken glasses. In the light of his conviction and hissubsequent resignation, Mr Garfieldhas been suspended from the LabourGroup and is now the subject of aninvestigation by them to see if he is fitto continue as a party member. “Domestic violence is not acceptableand we will not tolerate it,” said CllrPeter John, Southwark Council Leader.“It is right that Dan Garfield has

accepted responsibility and resignedfrom the council.”Asked why Mr Garfield was awardeda position of such high authority withinthe party after the first police caution forassaulting his fellow Labour councillorwife, Cllr John said: "When I was made

aware of a police caution I offered myfull support to [Mr Garfield’s wife].Following this discussion, andassurances that they were bothreceiving necessary support, I felt it wasright to allow those involved to dealwith this as a private family matter.”

‘Child destruction’trial startedPECKHAM: The trial of twoyoung men accused of a brutalassault on a heavily pregnantwoman in Peckham has startedthis week.Malorie Bantala was attacked inTalfourd Place, Peckham on June 15by two men who kicked and stampedon her stomach even though she was32 weeks pregnant at the time.Kevin Wilson, 20, of the LongfieldEstate, SE1 appeared in court inOctober to deny the charges ofcharges of child destruction andgrievous bodily harm with intent. A seventeen-year-old boy, whocannot be named for legal reasons, isalso facing charges of childdestruction.The trial at the Old Bailey is due tolast for three weeks.

Dulwich schoolmoves to SE5DULWICH: The new CharterSchool for East Dulwich hasconfirmed it now has a temporaryhome to move in to for when it isdue to open next year.The Dulwich Hospital site will be thepermanent base for the schooleventually but in the meantime, pupilsstarting in September 2016 will begoing to the former Lewisham andSouthwark College campus onSouthampton Way, Camberwell. The school will stay on this site until2018 when everything will moveacross to Dulwich – a change from theoriginal plan to build temporaryfacilities on the Community Hospitalsite. Head teacher Alex Crossman said thedecision was taken because theCamberwell site is significantly largerthan their previous planned temporaryfacility and comes with facilities like alibrary, art room and assembly hall. As the Camberwell site is1.2 milesfrom the Dulwich CommunityHospital, the Charter SchoolsEducational Trust is offering toprovide travel between the two sites.

ELEPHANT & CASTLE



POLICE AREoffering a reward ofup to £10,000 as they launch a freshappeal for witnesses to the death ofCarolina Calderon-Zuniga, whowas mysteriously crushed under thewheels of her own car ten years agoin Peckham. The unexplained death of the 24-year-old mother-of-two has baffled officersfor a decade, who are now asking anyonewho saw or heard anything regarding the“tragic event” on June 24 to comeforward and give her family closure. Carolina had dropped off her twochildren, then aged four and seven, to hermother’s house, where they were to bebaby-sat by a family member while thetrainee midwife enjoyed a night out withfriends. She then walked a short distancefrom the house back to her car, parked inMoody Road. DC John Isaacs, of Scotland Yard’sspecial casework investigation team, toldthe News: “Tragically, just before11.30pm, neighbours heard a scream.She was found crushed under the wheels

of her vehicle.“Ten years have gone and police arestill no closer to explaining to the familyexactly how Caroline came to be underthe wheels of the car.”

Her green Fiat Punto had reversed overher body, pinning her beneath the frontright wheel. Two neighbours sprinted toPeckham Fire Station to fetchfirefighters, who managed to lift the

vehicle clear. It was too late, however,and Carolina died 45 minutes later inhospital. Lisa King, one of the firefighters firstat the scene, said: “I remember theincident very clearly, it’s one Iwouldn’t forget. When we arrived atthe scene there was a crowd of peoplearound the car and Carolina wasunderneath it. We quickly set aboutlifting the car off her and giving hermedical aid until the ambulance turnedup. But it was the circumstances thatreally set this apart from most othercalls we go to. She was underneathher own car and there was nobody elseat the scene who admitted to drivingthe car.”Police do not know whether thedeath was the result of a bizarre

accident in which Carolina was the onlyperson involved, or whether someoneelse had been driving the car and,accidentally or purposefully, had struckCarolina. They are appealing for any informationto help close the case and offer somelevel of closure to Carolina’s children. DC Isaacs said: “Ten years have nowgone. The children who were then fourand seven are still grieving for their mumand they would like some closure.”A reward of up to £10,000 will be givento anyone who gives the policeinformation which leads to theconviction of the person or personsresponsible for the death. Anyone withinformation should call 020 7230 4294or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on0800 555 111.

HERNE HILL businessesstruggling to stay afloat following2013’s devastating floods can nowapply for grants after a recent£200,000 community contributionfrom Thames Water. The flood occurred early in the morningon August 7, 2013, when a pipe burst andsent a waist-high wave of water acrossthe Half Moon Lane area. Manybusinesses, such as the Half Moon pub,

closed for good, while others are stillstruggling due to the delay in receivinginsurance money. The grants would helpout businesses until their insurance comesthrough, at which point the money wouldbe paid back to a community fund. Thefund, which has already been used toplant trees and create street art, willcontinue to be used to promote HerneHill on an ongoing basis.Application and queries should be sentto [email protected] in need of urgent help shouldapply by December 15.

POLICE OFFICERS rescued tenresidents from a block of flats inBermondsey after an apparent arsonattack early last week.Police were called at around 2am onNovember 25 to reporters of a dispute ata residential block in Grange Road, wherethey found two cars on fire in a reargarage and another blaze in thecommunal hallway.Officers forced entry to the flats, where

they led a number of terrified residents,including one who had been trapped in hisroom with the fire outside his door, tosafety.The officers used fire extinguishers untilthe fire brigade arrived at around 2.40am.One of the officers suffered minorinjuries during the rescue. Another twopolice officers suffered from smokeinhalation.A man was arrested on suspicion ofarson, assault on police and possession ofclass B drugs. He has since been bailedwithout charge until January.

Chief Superintendent Zander Gibson,Commander of Southwark Borough,said: “These officers put the safety andwellbeing of the trapped and frightenedresidents before their own and wereremarkable in their bravery andprofessionalism.

CLOSED DOOR developer deals inthe borough will be made public ifnew planning policy is passed. The announcement from SouthwarkCouncil follows an exclusive interview

with the News in July when leaderPeter John declared his intention topublish the documents detailinghow much affordable housingdevelopers said they could buildon new sites. Former Heygate residentsAdrian Glasspool and JerryHewitt battled for three years tosee the ‘viability assessment’ forthe development which wouldreplace their estate after theproposals did not meet thecouncil’s minimumaffordable housingrequirement of 35 percent. After Southwark Council spent

£56,000 in legal fees (to be paid

back by the developer, Lendlease)fighting Mr Glasspool and theInformation Commissioner to keep thedocument secret, earlier this year it wasfinally handed over following alandmark ruling, which changed thegame for developers and local authoritieseverywhere.As other Labour councils likeGreenwich and Islington moved to createpolicies which would force developers tomake their viability assessments publicin future – Cllr John told the NewsSouthwark would follow suit.A new planning policy proposed for theborough will force developers to deliverthe 35 percent minimum of affordablehousing or publish their assessmentswhich say why it is not ‘viable’ for themto do so. “We know the public has had concernsabout the way developments arenegotiated, and we promised that wewould find a way to put all thisinformation in the public domain,” saidcouncillor Mark Williams, cabinet

member for regeneration and newhomes. We know developers don’t wantto share this information for commercialreasons, but we want our residents to seethe workings and understand that we doall we can to get the best deal forSouthwark. “We think we’ve found a great wayforward – if developers don’t want toface this public scrutiny thenthey will have to commit to35 percent affordablehousing from the outset. It’sa win-win for the people ofSouthwark,” he added. The draft developmentviability planningdocument is now availablefor comment on thecouncil’s website as part ofa twelve weekconsultation. Once all theresponses have beenreceived, and anyamendments made, thecouncil hopes to adopt it

into planning policy from March 2016. The consultation documents areavailable athttp://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200151/supplementary_planning_documents_and_guidance/3914/draft_development_viability_spd See Comment - page 2

A PECKHAM gangster iscoming back from the dead tofilm the story of his chequeredpast in the same streets wherehe worked for the Richardsonsas a child. Thirty years ago Johnny ‘Mack’McDougall fled from Peckham tosave his life and the lives of hisfamily. He spread a rumour that hewas dead, which “spread likewildfire” to make sure no onecame looking for him. But now heis returning to his old haunt torevisit the ghosts of his youth fora new film, London Boy. When Johnny was a young boyhe stumbled into the dark southeast London criminal underworld.His neighbour, who was married toCharlie Richardson’s daughter,took pity on him after seeing himbeaten up by school bullies forbeing Irish. “He took me under his wing,”said Johnny, who believed as a ten-year-old-boy that he’d found hisway out of a nightmare of dailybeatings.” I looked up to him likean older brother, I didn’t realise hewas grooming me into that

criminal fraternity.”He started off picking up brownpaper packages from businessesand taking them back to thesnooker club in Peckham HighStreet where the gang congregated. “I went there every day ratherthan go to school,” he said.“They’d always give me moneyand I’d clean their cars. I grew upinto that way of life. I was sonaïve, I was absolutely green, Iwas like a blank canvas to them. Itwas the first time I ever felt Ibelonged.”When an old school friend calledJohnny to see if he’d know what todo with a load of diamonds he’djust nicked from Hatton Gardens,he sank further into the life ofcrime which already engulfed him.The job was a big payer,involving the equivalent of £6mworth of stones today. Whiletrying to hide his criminal lifefrom his mum – “the most strictIrish woman you could ever meet,”Johnny was also riding around in aBentley. His share should havebeen bigger though, so he startedcomplaining that he’d been“diddled out of thousands” ofpounds.To keep him quiet ‘Mad Frankie

Fraser’ put a gun to the back of hishead. “Up popped Frankie Fraser andshoved a .38 in the back of myhead and told me to shut up. The

guy who was with me wethimself,” said Johnny, who hadtried to go straight when he wasfifteen but when money got tight,he jumped back in.

“I became a dad at sixteen. I wasin love. I promised her everythingand I meant it, but we were soskint and I wanted to provide, so Istarted dabbling and just got

deeper and deeper,” said Johnny,who was banged up in Borstal ayear later for fraud and robbery.“I took the can for a lot of thingsbecause I was told I wouldn’t getmuch because I was a firstoffender,” he said. After he got out he fell in withthe Frenches – a gang based inCatford - and ended up beingstabbed seven times in anightclub toilet. “The hardest thing for me, I hadthree children,” said Johnny.“Going out the door was likeputting on a suit of armour, I hadto become someone else. When Igot back I had to take it off andbecome a family man.”Having survived the stabbingand Frankie Fraser holding a gunto his head, it was a spell inBrixton prison, which led toJohnny’s life spiralling out ofcontrol. When his solicitor toldhim he was facing ten years foran armed robbery he hadn’tactually done (though he admitshe had done plenty of others),

Johnny asked his cell mate forsome of his heroin. He was foundnot guilty but it was too late, hehad spent three months takingheroin and he was hooked – astrict no-no for organised crime,where everyone knows you can’ttrust an addict. “If they knew Iwas taking drugs they would’vetaken me up the road and buriedme, so I kept trying to stop,” saidJohnny. When his wife left him with thechildren, he knew he had to dosomething about it. He lockedhimself up in his friend’s flat forten days and went cold turkey. “It’s the most dreadful thing.There was dead people I hadtroubles with in the pastappearing in front of me, and mymother, my nanna. I wasvomiting everywhere, then thegas went and it was the middle ofwinter. I thought I was going todie,” he said. But on the tenth dayhe felt a bit better and startedeating and the next week hestarted going back to the gym and

building himself up again. He moved to the Isle of Wightto be with his family again, butfirst spread a rumour he had diedto make sure no one camelooking for him. Johnny has spent the years sincebattling with alcoholism beforehe became a Christian and startedtelling his story at prisons andyouth offending teams, to stopyoung people taking the samepath. “I regret what I done at the timebut if I hadn’t done what I done Iwouldn’t be able to help so manytoday,” said Johnny. “I don’twant the grandiose idea that I’ma hero. It wasn’t like that, it wasan awful time and I wish I neverwent through that but today Ireally enjoy what I do. I help somany people now and it helps meto help them.”Back in 2008, Johnny put hisstory down in words in the book‘DunPeckham’, which is nowbeing made into a film, whichwill be shot back in Johnny’s old

When he came back to scout forlocations some of Peckham had changedunrecognisably, but around the estate wasexactly the same. “It’s very weird, there are memoriesaround every corner. Walking up RyeLane I had so many episodes of my lifecome back, and my old school, OliverGoldsmiths. When I want on the PelicanEstate that brought back so manymemories, mainly of parents,” he said. When the film comes out, Johnny’shoping it will be the only really true to lifegangster film. “When we started this I said: ‘If we’re

going to do this I don’t want noexaggerations, I want it as it was. I want ittrue to life. There’s been so many filmsout there with bad story lines where thebad guy comes out on top. I never didever come out on top... I want people tocome away and think ‘I didn’t realise thathappened’. They will get a differentperspective because it’s as it was. I wantto enlighten them,” he said.

PARLIAMENTARY VOTE

SOUTHWARK’S MPsare dividedon the issue of a bombing campaignagainst ISIS in Syria, with aParliamentary vote due to takeplace as the Newswent to press onWednesday. Neil Coyle was “90% in favour”,Helen Hayes opposed it outright, whileHarriet Harman refused to commentbefore the debate took place inWestminster. Mr Coyle, MP for Bermondsey andOld Southwark said: “First of all, I thinkthe government’s approach has beenterrible. There is not enoughinformation about how it would all takeplace and at the moment I’mapprehensive because they have notgiven anyone enough information. “I would be much more confident ifthey came out and said we will betargeting the oil, the means of funding– that is more acceptable to me.”He refused to commit completely to abombing campaign against the jihadis,but did tell the News that he wouldalmost certainly vote in favour of it. He said on Tuesday: “I’m very closeto making up my mind, but I’m not100% just yet – I’m 90% sure. Mypostbag with comments fromconstituents has people opposing it but

many more people in favour of fightingthe threat.“My duty is to the constituency, tomaking Bermondsey and OldSouthwark as safe as it can be, andsitting by would not do that. I don’taccept that we are less safe byintervening. We know the UK has beena target and it will be a target whetherwe intervene or not.”Mr Coyle also revealed that a memberof the public told him he’d ‘need

security’ if he voted for bombing. He said: “No matter what youropinion, that sort of thing is disgusting.I had a Walworth resident get in touchand tell me that I would need security ifI voted in favour. I refuse to be bullied inany decision, especially by that sort ofnonsense.”Ms Hayes, MP for Dulwich and WestNorwood, explained in a blog entry onher website that she would be votingagainst the bombing of ISIS, also

known as Daesh. She said: “Diplomaticefforts to remove Bashar al-Assad asPresident of Syria, resolute efforts to cutoff resources to Daesh, an internationalstrategy to stem the ideological reachand growth of Daesh and to stop newrecruits, and a continued commitmentto international aid and reconstructionall form part of the approach whichstands the best chance of a long-lastingpeace for Syria. “While the Prime Minister has

highlighted the need for acomprehensive strategy I do not believethat he has identified all of the pieces ofthe jigsaw that are needed. There is awidely held view from many withextensive military experience thatairstrikes are not the most effective wayto defeat Daesh, and that bombingRaqqa would risk the lives of civilians.”Ms Harman was contacted by theNews to give her view on the matter butchose not to comment.

BLACKFRIARS ROAD wasbrought to a standstill last week asaround 150 cyclists blocked thestreet as part of a “die-in” protest.In an effort to raise awareness aboutcyclist safety, the campaigners laydown on the road with their bikes at5pm on November 27.Twenty-one cardboard coffins werelined up during the stunt, representingthe 21 cyclists who have died on thecity’s streets since November 2013, adeadly month in which six cyclistswere tragically killed. Four cyclists have died onSouthwark’s roads since that time -most recently Esther Hartsilver, whowas crushed to death by a lorry whilecycling along Denmark Hill this May. Donnachadh McCarthy, of StopKilling Cyclists campaign group, toldthe News: “The die-in went very well.The cars that were blocked wererespectful and it was silent – a very rarething in central London.“We had media coverage from allacross Britain and the world. Onejournalist even came all the way fromJapan to cover it. This is a big issue.”The protest took place directly outsidethe headquarters for Transport forLondon, whoM Donnachadh saidshould put more of their budgettowards cycling. He said: “Ten per cent

of the TfL budget must be allocated tocycling infrastructure by 2020. Thecurrent pathetic 1.4 per cent of thebudget being spent on cycling safety isan insult to those dying from collisions,pollution and inactivity diseases andthe tens of thousands of Londonersliving every day with terrible health

impacts.”A large tombstone was also unveiledat the protest, symbolising the 24,000people who the group said have diedsince 2013 due to diseases related topollution or inactivity.Donnachadh said: “The cyclist deathsare just the canary in the mine shaft:

9000 people die due transport-relatedpollution each year, with another 3,000dying due to inactivity-related diseases.Everybody benefits if more focus is puton cycling.”Leon Daniels, Managing Director ofSurface Transport at TfL, said: “We areinvesting nearly £1 billion in upgrading

the existing Cycle Superhighways withgreater segregation, introducing majornew segregated cycle routes andbackstreet quiet routes, andoverhauling dozens of junctions bothon our roads and on borough roads, togive more protection to pedestrians andcyclists.”

STROKE PATIENTS are gettingfit and regaining theirconfidence thanks to anexercise group run by Guy’sand St Thomas’ communityphysiotherapists.The group, which meets at thePeckham Pulse Healthy LivingCentre and ASPIRE Health andWellbeing Centre in West Dulwich,has helped 300 patients since 2013.Newly diagnosed stroke patientsattend the exercise group for sixweeks to help them stay healthy andavoid a stroke in the future. They areencouraged to carry on being activeafter the sessions have ended.Jason Wynne, 40, a head chef withclothing company Ted Baker, had astroke in June. He says: “I’d been athome looking after the children,cooking and watching telly. When mywife Charlotte got in from work shesaid she could see straight awaysomething was wrong. “By the time we got to the hospitalmy arm had gone dead and I wasstruggling to walk. All I remember ispassing out on the Monday and

waking up on the Friday. I didn’t knowwhat had happened.”Jason spent five weeks in StThomas’ Hospital receiving intensiverehabilitation including speech andlanguage therapy and physiotherapy.After he returned home, Jason wassupported by the community stroketeam who recommended that heattend the specialist exercise classesat ASPIRE.Jason says: “I wouldn’t feelcomfortable going to a normal gymbut these classes have made me feelmore confident to carry onexercising.”The community stroke team co-ordinates the care provided by otherhealthcare workers such as districtnurses and other local services likesocial workers, so that the right care isin place when patients leave hospital.Rukiye Ahmet, clinical manager forthe community stroke team, says: "Astroke changes the lives of not onlyour patients but also their families. It'svital that we involve the carer as wellas the patient so they can feel part ofthe community again."

THE LATEST national Staff Friendsand Family Test results werepublished in November.A total of 92% of staff at Guy’s andSt Thomas’ would recommend theTrust to friends and family in need ofcare or treatment – much higher thanthe national average of 79%.And 76% of staff would recommendGuy’s and St Thomas’ as a place towork – much higher than the nationalaverage of 62%.In addition, 92% of staff would feelable to speak up if they had a concernabout patient safety or their workingenvironment.Ann Macintyre, Director of Workforceat Guy’s and St Thomas’, says: “I ampleased to see that our staff continueto have positive views about the careprovided by the Trust and that themajority of staff would recommend theTrust as a place to work.”

patient to use a new devicethat allows her to haveantibiotic treatment at homerather than in hospital.Rewina Tsegai, 12, needed a six-week course of intravenousantibiotics after she had complexsurgery on her spine. Intravenousantibiotics go directly into thebloodstream and usually requirepatients to stay in hospital untilthey’ve finished their course oftreatment.The new device allows Rewina tocarry her antibiotics around with herin a small bottle, while they dripslowly into her bloodstream throughan intravenous line in her arm. Thisallows her to get back to normal lifeat home rather than having to stayin hospital.Rewina’s mum, Yordanos, was

given two days of training by EvelinaLondon’s Paediatric OutpatientParenteral Antibiotic Therapy teamto learn how to use the device.She says: “I feel really proud to beable to give Rewina her medicine. Ifeel confident and supported to do itat home after the training which theEvelina London nurses gave me.”Joanna Newton, specialist nurse atEvelina London, says: “Having achild in hospital can involve lots ofextra travelling and costs forfamilies. When a child is wellenough to go home, apart from theirneed for intravenous antibiotics, thiscan be frustrating.“By helping our patients to havetheir antibiotics at home, we are notonly helping the entire family tocarry on with normal life but alsosaving the NHS money and freeingup hospital beds for children whoreally need them.”The team reviews the child’s

antibiotics weekly to ensure they arealways taking the right type and thatno unnecessary medication istaken.Antibiotics are essential medicines

to treat infections caused bybacteria. It is vital that antibiotics areused in a smart, focused way tohelp prevent resistance developing.Evelina London is encouraging

people to become antibioticguardians as part of a campaign touse antibiotics wisely.For more information, visitwww.antibioticguardian.com.

Family run butchers wins awardMurray bros butchers is an

established family runbutchers set in the heart

of Penge SE20. The business owners are Dean andAlan Murray, two brothers fromSouthfields London who between themhave worked in the butchery trade fornearly fifty years. When asked whythey chose butchery as a trade theirsimple reply is... (butchery choosesyou, not the other way round). Forthem running their business isn't justwork, it’s a way of life and a clearpassion that runs through their veinsand this is never more evident thanwhen you step into their shop, which isfull of top quality meat, and showswhen you receive a top quality service,both friendly and informal. After 16years of running their own business(established 1999) their shop is nowone the few good reasons to visit Pengeand trade has gone from strength tostrength and this small piece of editorialis hopefully going to explain why. So what makes Murray Bros butchersstand out in a very competitive marketin an area taken up by competition fromno less than four supermarkets? Well tostart with (and probably the first thingyou will notice) is the wide selection offresh free range meats. Fresh Englishfree range lamb. Fresh free rangeScotch beef. Packington Farm freerange pork and chicken. The finest drycured bacon products and I would saythe jewel in their crown the finest homemade sausages (made on the premises

by Alan). It really is a case of seeing itto believe it. The freshest meat andfinely skilled butchery brought togetherin harmony really shows that thesebrothers are experts in their field. Everysingle item sent into Murray Bros isindividually checked to the higheststandards and if it doesn't meet thebrothers’ expectations of quality andfreshness it is declined and sent back tothe supplier. Second of all alongside the top qualityproduct is a top quality service to match.You’re greeted and welcomed to a cleanclinical environment by the singing ofthe brothers and staff clearly showingfun in the workplace is possible andalthough it’s not their business the staffare highly motivated. The service youreceive is helpful, informal and mostimportant of all personal. (It’s a personaltouch that you simply won’t get in mostother butchers, let alone thesupermarkets) cooking tips skilledbutchery all served with a smile - whatmore can you ask for!Finally and perhaps the mostimportant of all, is a highly competitiveprice. "Here at Murray Bros we believein trying to bring you a high endproduct at a price that is affordable toall customers." Therefore they don't justappeal to one customer profile - theyhonestly look to please everyone inevery aspect of your shoppingexperience. By doing this the idea isthat a happy customer will alwaysreturn, time and time again. MURRAY BROS BUTCHERS are

now taking orders for Christmas.

30 OPINION www.southwarknews.co.uk/letters Southwark News, Thursday December 3rd, 2015

To the council leader and cabbieI’D LIKE to respond toCouncil Leader Mr PeterJohn, who told me via Twitterthat I shouldn’t complain thathe spent £3.7 million on abijou new library atCamberwell Green and to MrJat Prescott, who wrote aSouthwark News letter on the26th November that TaxiDrivers like himself are underthreat from cyclists.It’s not a zero sum game Mr.John and Mr. Prescott. Mr John, I didn’t sayCamberwell Green and the over16,000 people who live in the areadon’t need and deserve a newlibrary. I said spending over £3.7million on a 100 person libraryand taking down a third of an acreof mature fruit trees as the worldspins into climate catastrophe didnot show far reaching leadership.There were options you refused toconsider because you were notplaying a resource maximizationgame you were were playing apolitical point scoring game.Mr. Prescott, taxis are not incompetition with cyclists andcycle lanes don’t stop yourbusiness. Cyclists do not stoppeople from shopping. I’m notgoing to use a letter in theSouthwark News to summarizethe research and make thespeeches we pay millions topoliticians and consultants to doand make. It is not a zero sumgame and the trump card, if healthand safety aren’t enough, iscatastrophic global warming.Private cars for most trips are ahinderance. Take a taxi. This is what clever taxes are for,to level the playing field whenpure capitalism falls short .Instead we’ve been given anarchaic budget at national leveland at council level we havetenderpreneurs setting us at eachother’s throats while they make 2-D decisions in a 4-D world.Abby Taubin, East Dulwich

What’s happened tothe council’s priorities?WHY WOULD SouthwarkCouncil slash Youth Servicesby £2.5M - while spending£5M felling acres of woods forless than four years’ burialplots?What has happened toSouthwark Council’s priorities?Southwark Labour says it intendsto slash its vital Youth Servicesbudget by £2.5M to £1M. Yet it isalso preparing to spend at least£5M felling acres of beautifulSouthwark Woods for less than 4years’ burial plots. Cllr Victoria Mills, CabinetMember for Children and Schools,is responsible for the YouthServices budget - and is also WardCouncillor for Southwark Woodsat Camberwell Old and NewCemeteries.More than 3,500 Southwarkresidents have appealed to CllrMills through the Save SouthwarkWoods campaign to save thewoods. Now it seems saving thetrees could also help save YouthServices.Yet Cllr Mills appears deaf to allreason, actively promoting theCouncil's plans for expensivesubsidised burial. To thousands ofresidents this is financial, socialand environmental stupidity.Why would Victoria Mills andthe Council be prepared tosacrifice the Youth Servicesbudget (and the woods) for a fewyears' burial? Southwark Unison has appealedto Cllr Mills to save the YouthServices budget and the 122 jobsat stake. Will she listen? Orcontinue to ignore the residentsshe claims to represent?Blanche Cameron for SaveSouthwark Woods

Right to reply I CONTINUE to enjoy servingNewington ward as one of thethree councillors as well as MP. Your critic in the edition out 19th

November 2015, who doesn’t livein the ward, may not realise that Isit on Community Council purelyas a councillor and it was apleasure to join it again onSaturday to stand up for localresidents. In just the last few weeks I’venot just attended anotherCommunity Council meeting, butheld mobile surgeries in the ward,helped plant 3,000 bulbs on theNewington estate and been able toraise crimes that have happenedwithin the ward (on Olney Streetand Andrews Walk) in the Houseof Commons. Not manycouncillors can claim that recordand, as I don’t claim a penny incouncil allowances, I hope peoplerecognise that it’s not bad valuefor money either!Neil Coyle, MP for Bermondseyand Old Southwark

Save our doctors

APAEDIATRICIAN, ananaesthetist, a psychiatrist, ageriatrician, a medical

registrar...these, and many othersare the doctors that at any time weor our families need. And we should be falling overourselves in gratitude to the juniordoctors who work at King’s. Recently some of the junior doctors atKings broke away from their vital workto tell me how Jeremy Hunt's impositionof a new contract will mean their pay iscut. We gathered in the board room, butunlike when I meet the local managers,their phones were ringing and theirbleeps going constantly demanding theirattention. The doctors I met had studied foryears, at our top universities, and thencarried on training and studying so thatthey can give the very best care andcontribute to research. We are lucky to have them but Huntrisks us losing them. Australian hospitals are luring manyaway - so are pharmaceuticalcompanies. What will happen to research if to do itthey face a pay cut? Why should they? How many of them can rely on theirpartners income to make up for their fallin pay? Where are we going to get theconsultants for the future if the juniordoctor’s morale continues to becrushed? It’s not fair on the doctors who'vestudied so hard and care so much. Itrisks serious doctor shortages in thefuture which will cost more in agencyfees and incentives for overseas doctors,let alone in the cost to patient care. And the way the contract discriminatesagainst those who work fewer hours -usually women with children - is surelyin breach of the Equality Act. I'mcalling on the Equality and HumanRights Commission to investigate this. And I'm asking Jeremy Hunt to meetthese doctors who spoke to me. Heshould see for himself their anguish fortheir patients, their concern for the NHSand their dismay at how badly he istreating them. I'm totally on their side,so are local people and he should be too.

AFTER A foggy start toNovember the weather becameexceptionally mild but overcast

with spells of heavy rain. Sunshine was in short supply, and thewind direction moved round to the north-east giving an arctic feel for a few days.Then milder weather returned for thebeginning of December. Sunset is now around 4pm in theafternoon and time available for work inthe garden is becoming very limited. If theweather allows, do a quick search for slugsand snails. Mild temperatures mean theywill survive and find places to overwinter,then these troublesome molluscs willemerge early in the season to munch theirway through new spring growth. Places tocheck are on the underside of pots or inareas left specifically for the beneficialinsects (small piles of leaves etc.) and alsoaround shrubs. Use the ‘Advanced SlugKiller’ (available from the OrganicGardening Catalogue 01932 878570 orwww.organiccatalogue.comWith few flowering plants in the garden,houseplants are a way to brighten thewinter months. Polyanthus (pictured) areusually used as outside bedding in earlyspring, but a few of these colourful plants,(available in the shops now) for an indoordisplay will last a month or so. Also thelittle outdoor cyclamen with perfumedflowers will tolerate a cool bright room.Both can be transferred to the garden orwindow box once they stop flowering.Keep watering to a minimum for both. Theaddition of pot grown Hyacinths andfoliage plants such as the Boston or BirdsNest ferns will achieve a varied andcheerful display for the home. As the festive season approaches it’s timeto think about what type of greenery isneeded for decoration. Instead of, or aswell as a Christmas tree, fresh herbs can beused, cut some stems of Rosemary, Bayand Sage from the garden and put incontainers with water. Ivy plants groupedtogether in baskets can be used around thehouse as well as bunches of Mistletoe.(Keep these plants away from pets andchildren).Finally, two suggestions for Christmasgifts - A Guide to Companion Planting byMichael Littlewood price £7.25. Aninteresting book for beginners, outliningthe basics of companion planting. Andsomething more practical - ZEOSOFTHeavy Duty Hand Cleaner Paste (300g) tohelp heal hands and keep them clean andsoft, price £6.95. Both items are availablefrom the Organic Gardening Catalogue.

THEATRE

IT HAS been a couple ofyears since we last attendeda Greenwich Theatrepanto, but they have somuch impact on us that mypartner and I still know allthe words to the BrownCow song, and if you eversee me in the pub I willwillingly sing it for youwrites, Michael Holland...This year, though, it wasmyself and Haydn – an up-for-it 8 year old - who went, andwe had the time of our lives.And the current show is RedRiding Hood, whose GrannyFanny lives in the forest whereCount Fracula is going to startfracking. Already you can seethe fun that can be had withthe word ‘fracking’ especiallywhen the Count is an unsubtleblend of Russell Brand andRick Mayall, gurning and hip-thrusting all over the place.The Handsome Prince, alongwith Silvana, the ThreePiggies and Herr Brush are all

out to stop the dastardly deedsgoing on and, of course, overthe space of a couple of song-soaked, fun-filled hours thereis the obligatory happy everafter ending. What’s not tolike?There has to be comedy forall, so you get the fart andburp jokes for the small kids,double entendres for the bigkids; Piggy Smalls, friend ofThe Notorious P.I.G., alwaysblowing the horn and makingeveryone chant: ‘Don’t blowthe horn, leave the horn alone.’So you get the tone of theshow…? There is somehilariously lewd cuckoo clockaction for the hen parties – thegroups of women who wouldbe at a drag night with malestrippers if it weren’t pantoseason.I reckon this is the best localpanto to be had. Seeing HerrBrush, in sparkly lederhosen,singing and dancing to WakeMe Up Before You Go Go is

not only a sight for sore eyesbut a must-see at this jolliesttime of the year.My favourites were AlimJayda as Piggy Smalls; hisenergy and stage presence isfunny and eye-catching; andAnthony Spargo as thebaddie, Count Fracula, whoseevil shadow casts a bog‘Boooooooo’ over theaudience . Andrew Pollard, inhis 10th year as writer andDame acts as ringmaster to allthe ‘apprentices’ and ensuresthis panto is as good as allthose he has conductedbefore.Joke of the show: What doyou call a chicken in ashellsuit? Answer in a show atGreenwich Theatre.

AS THIS month’s storm withthe laughable name of Clodaghblew a few leaves around, myselfand Mum made our waythrough some awful traffic toarrive at Lovely House muchlater than intended. Even so, asmiling Kate who made sure wewere quickly settled and happyoffered a very warm greeting,writes Michael Holland...Hefty menus were handed to us,beautifully handcrafted and all theway from China, but thankfullythere were not that many pages ofdishes for us to look through inthem, but a small, well-chosenselection.Lovely House self-appointthemselves as Dim Sum specialists,so we had to try the Har Gau (PrawnDumplings), which wereexceedingly good. They don’t holdback on the prawn, either, thosedumplings were chock full of nice,plump seafood.Even better, though, was theCrispy Salt & Pepper Squid, such aneasy dish to get wrong withovercooking, but no danger of thathere. Each piece had a crispy crustthat, with a satisfying crunch, gaveway to a soft inside.For our third starter we had theSoft Shell Crab, a dish that onceused to excite me, but has becomepretty mundane now. Each dishcomes with its own dip, and verymuch fresh from the wok.Talk over a Tsingtao beer for Mumand a house red for me, was ofChelsea’s keeper saving them fromanother defeat at the hands of a RedHot Tottenham; a new baby in thefamily, Renzo, someone starting a

new career and last night’s telly.Other families and couples atadjoining tables were also deep inconversation as they enjoyedleisurely Sunday lunches. Kate told us that they have beenhere for 5 years now and built agood customer base of regulars that

always come back for more, andlooking at the menu it appears thatshe is continually adding new dishesto keep it fresh and interesting forthem.Our main courses arrived after ashort break, the House Special FriedRice coming first, and then the

Duck Chow Mein. Both of thesewere admirable examples of theirkind, and both a little different fromthe norm inasmuch as there wasminced beef in the rice, and yourarely see a duck chow mein. It isgood to see a Chinese restauranttrying different things and notstanding still.Completely sated by now, we werediscussing getting home without allthe traffic encountered on ourjourney here, when Kate asked usabout having a dessert. She tried totempt us with Custard Buns, whichdidn’t work too well, but then therewas talk of a Chinese Crispy Cake,which intrigued enough for us to optfor sharing a portion. Mum thenthought doubling it up with a Mango

Pudding to share was a good idea,and it was.The cake came with cream from acan but was more of a biscuitcreated from several nuts into a lightwill o’ the wisp affair that almostdissolved in the mouth. Thepudding was mango jelly thatwobbled in its dish just like jelly didwhen I was a kid. Perfect. Lovely House is a misnomer butthis friendly restaurant is ideal forthose who like good, authenticChinese food at realistic prices.There is not one dish more than £8in here, with most of the top dishesin the £6 bracket. And that’s whatkeeps it popular and busy in a streetoverloaded with overpriced, over-trendy over done places withcooking not nearly as good.

history

IT'S HARD to imagine now, inthe West at least, a worldwithout a safety net. If you fallon hard times these days there issomething there to catch you,but in the sixteenth andseventeenth century Southwarkyou had to struggle and toil foryour survival, writesAmelia Burr...Agnes Cooper grafted from herchildhood to her death, moving fromplace to place to stay in work,relying on the kindness of others,until at fifty-eight years-old, withnot a penny in her pocket, she had togo begging to the church.It was November 1619 and Agneshad no work and had been evictedfrom her lodging. She appealed toher Southwark parish, who droveher over the boundary to herbirthplace near London Bridgewhere she could apply to get poorrelief. As part of that process shewas asked to tell the parish the storyof her life and that was taken downby a scribe and still exists to thisday, providing a fascinating insightinto the life of an ordinary woman inseventeenth-century Southwark.Agnes was born in the parish of StOlave's, which ran from LondonBridge to Bermondsey. Families ofmostly textile workers lived room byroom crammed into houses along theriver. Agnes's father, WilliamCooper would have been one of themore skilled tradesman as anembroiderer but he was not withAgnes for long. Her scribe recorded that her fatherdied when Agnes was twelve: “This William Cooper died as shesaith while she was young afterwhose decease her mother marriedwith one ____ Shell by trade acapper with which father in law shedwelt til she was of the age of x orxii yeares old and was then put toprentice to one William Giblett acapper of the same parish withwhom she served by the full spaceof 9 years.”After her father's death, her motherremarried, this time to a man whomade caps. But then her mother diedand so did her cap-making step-father, William Shell. Death was acommon occurrence in those daysand for children like Alice, it wasnot only the loss of her parents, buther future and security. Thankfully for Agnes, the man whowas executing her step-father's willtook pity on her and took her in asan apprentice for the next nine years.Her board and clothes and trainingwould have been repaid by herincreasingly skilled labour. Makingthe knitted, felted caps worn by allapprentices and working men waslaborious and complicated work. History repeated itself whenWilliam Giblett died, as Agnes andWilliam’s wife went to live andwork with his will’s overseer,Gabriel Wood. Despite the 1571 statute orderingeveryone to wear a woollen cap on aSunday, the 1580s were a time ofeconomic depression, and by 1590Gabriel Wood’s trade was failing. Agnes, now in her thirties, had tojump ship again, this time to a fruit

and vegetable seller namedGoodwife Cleere, based just west ofLondon Bridge - her first move outof Southwark and all she knew thereafter eighteen years in the sametrade knitting and felting caps. Agnes only returned to Southwarktwelve years later when GoodwifeCleere passed away. She found her next home in themass of small houses now buriedunder London Bridge station knownas the Mazes, housing mainlyimmigrants and the poor. Her newDutch master, Cornelius Rossendale,had six children and made strings

for lutes. Then the scribe recordshow Agnes “wrought as acharwoman for several yeares inLondon sometimes in one place &sometimes in another but in no placeconstantly till some two or threeyears since about what time she gotinto the house of one GoodwifeGoose an Almswoman of thefoundation of the Salters London,situate in Mugwell Street.”By 1608 Agnes was about 50, andof an age when the laborious smalltasks that kept a household goingwere all that was left to her. Agnes next found lodging with a

poor man who sold poultry, in thetenements built on the grounds ofthe old Christopher Inn on BoroughHigh Street. She was reduced tobegging on the street with thepoulterer’s wife, a Mrs Millaynewho walked with a staff and hadonly one eye. Agnes stayed withthem for two years before she wasencountered by the ‘searcher’ of StSaviour’s parish, a well-to-doshoemaker named ChristopherFawcett, whose job was to getinmates or vagrants out of theparish, often sending them back overLondon Bridge.

It was Fawcett who took downAlice’s deposition, recording herlifetime of struggle and toil. He musthave sympathised with her tale asshe was deemed not to be a vagrantand allowed to stay in the parish,and eventually granted a generousrelief of twelve pence a week fromeach of the two parishes, StSaviour’s and her birthplace StOlave’s.With thanks to Laura Gowing,Professor of Early Modern BritishHistory at King’s College London,for sharing her research on AgnesCooper.

Property

KNIGHT FRANK publisheda report this year thatrecently shook up UK

property news. The company'sresearch department discovered thatin Dulwich house price growth hadrocketed 897% since 1995. Thisexceptional growth has exceeded thatof any other area in the UK.

In the last three years, growth inDulwich has been an impressive 53%.That in itself is a staggering increase.Dulwich Village has traditionally beenone of south east London's most desirabledestinations. It has a village aesthetic,albeit an entirely exclusive one, where aparade of independent shops andrestaurants are sprinkled amongst FiredEarth, Cafe Rouge and village-styleofferings. The central pub is,architecturally, an intact lateVictorian/Edwardian masterpiece andtraditional English wooden signpostsnavigate you around wide, grass-bankedpavements. Picket fences and graveldrives sweep up to some seriouslyfabulous detached homes.

The beauty of the area is fiercelyprotected by the Dulwich Estate, who

have owned the 1500-acre area for 400-years and directly benefit its schools.Edward Alleyn bought the Manor ofDulwich in 1605 and some of thecountry's top independent schools werefounded here, all originating in some wayfrom Alleyn's first charitable school fortwelve local poor children. TodayDulwich College, JAGS and Alleyn's areall within minutes of each other and attractwealthy international buyers, politiciansand celebrity families. It's also worthmentioning the local state primary isoutstanding. As the Estate control thearea's aesthetic, you simply can't convertyour loft without their express permission.

Domestic buyers make up most of theneighbourhood’s property search and areoften families looking to find a homeoffering more value than central London.Trains at North, East and West Dulwich,Denmark Hill, Sydenham Hill and HerneHill take commuters to London Bridge,Victoria and King's Cross while additionalLondon Overground links are found atDenmark Hill and Peckham Rye. Buyersappreciate the large handsome terraces onoffer that still give far better value thatsouth west London. Prices per square footrange between £600-£1100 compared to

Chiswick and Barnes where prices rangebetween £800-£1300. These areas aredirectly comparable in terms ofatmosphere and amenities; the Villageoffers Dulwich Park with a boating lake,good café and tennis courts and ancientDulwich Woods where Charles I wouldoften hunt. Dulwich Picture Gallery isJohn Soane's architectural masterpiece,famous for being the world’'s firstpurpose-built art gallery while BeauberryHouse is a local restaurant and bar in astately Georgian mansion.

The 'ripple effect' is an industry term thatmeans a surrounding area is positivelyaffected by a property hotspot. Prices innearby East Dulwich have also soaredwith Rightmove reporting a 50% increasesince 2012. A four-bedroom period homenear a good state primary school andtransport would today be marketed ataround £1.2-£1.4million, making mostfamilies in this area automatic propertymillionaires. East Dulwich's high streetoffers a boutique shopping experience andhas attracted some notable chains (JoJoMaman Bebe, Gourmet Burger Kitchen),and all of the schools are performing well.Demand is coming from the trendiestparts of East London (Shoreditch, Dalstonand Old Street) due to the Overground'sarrival, and there’s also been a long-termtrend of buyers moving across from moreexpensive Clapham and Battersea. All ofthese areas are comparable as they offergood restaurants, bars, transport andschools - yet East Dulwich is somewhatgreener.

Prices in East Dulwich have now beenpushed up enough to begin to catching upwith its more expensive migrationsources. To see what we mean,Rightmove tells us that Clapham prices

have risen 35% since 2012 (as mentioned,East Dulwich has risen 50%). Over thelast year, East Dulwich prices have risen10% and Clapham 5%. From the KnightFrank research it's also worth noting thatPeckham Rye, a direct neighbour of EastDulwich, recorded the second largest highprice rise at 820% growth.

If you are considering moving fromDulwich or East Dulwich, then 2016could well be the year to do it while pricesremain at a peak. Different economistspredict interest rate rises beginning nextyear at any time from spring to December,but these will likely be gentle. When ratesstart to rise, the market can’t rise soferociously. What is clear is that theremarkable growth seen in these areaswill be extremely difficult to sustain.

NOT EVEN two minutes hadelapsed at The Den last Saturdaywhen it seemed that thedisappointment of the 2-1 defeat toFleetwood the previous Tuesdaywould carry on and deepen againstBury. That was how long it took centre-backPeter Clarke to free himself and directChris Hussey’s free-kick towards anopen goal. Most of the crowd were expecting tosee Clarke wheel away in celebrationuntil Jordan Archer appeared to palmthe effort off the line and then get to hisfeet to bat the ball away from danger. Archer said later it was his best of theseason and it was the only shot he had tosave until Danny Pugh’s half-volleyfrom outside the box in the 70th minute. In between he showed how much henow commands his area by securelytaking a number of crosses. Neil Harriswas unhappy with referee DeanWhitestone for failing to protect hisgoalkeeper when Archer was twice lefton the turf by a couple of meatychallenges. The Lions boss’ frustration wascompounded when Whitestonepunished Byron Webster for a tamecollision with Daniel Bachmann, rulingthe centre-back out of last Tuesdaynight’s fixture against Burton. Steve Morison, captain since TonyCraig’s injury, was left on the benchafter feeling unwell and Harrisconfirmed later he was unable to eatanything from Thursday night toSaturday afternoon.

Shaun Williams instead wore thearmband and scored the only goal of thegame, catching out Bachmann at hisnear post when he cracked in a low shotfrom outside the box. Bachmann had already saved two one-on-ones, first when George Savilleplayed in Fred Onyedinma, who hadmade a diagonal run from the rightwing, and then after Aiden O’Brien hadslipped Gregory through. The Bury keeper was again quick offhis line in the second half after substituteMorison had set up Gregory, who reallyshould have put Millwall morecomfortably ahead. . The home side were pushed back inthe final fifteen minutes and Bury cameclosest to finding an equaliser theirmanager David Flitcroft felt theydeserved when Leon Clarke and DannyRose threw themselves in synchronisedmovements towards Pugh’s curvingcross only to miss contact by inches. There was a further validation ofHarris’ commitment to giving youth itschance when 17-year-old NoahChesmain became the eighth playerfrom the academy to make acompetitive first-team appearance thisseason. He replaced Shane Ferguson –playing at left-back in place of thesuspended Joe Martin – who had runhimself ragged dealing with Bury’sthreat down the right. Harris admitted afterwards thatMillwall weren’t at their best after thebreak, but there is a growing resilienceabout the side as they stretched theirunbeaten run at home to eight games inall competitions.Millwall: 4-4-2: Archer; Cummings,Webster, Beevers, Ferguson (Chesmain,83); Onyedinma (Morison, 61), Saville,Williams, Upson (Thompson, 81);O'Brien, Gregory. Bury: 4-3-3: Bachmann; Riley (Pope,66), Cameron, P Clarke, Hussey;Soares, Etuhu, Mayor; Dodoo (Pugh,69), L Clarke, Jones (Rose, 37).

Arch rival stillhelping JordanJORDAN ARCHER’Sdevelopment towards becoming apotentially top-class goalkeepertook another significant stepforward last Saturday againstBury. As well as his supreme early reactionsave Archer was praised by NeilHarris for his composure undercrosses and for his kicking and generaldistribution, something his bosswasn’t happy with in the 2-1 defeat toFleetwood, where he was also beatenby a corner that went straight in. Archer, 22, recognises thosestandards as part of the package thatcome with being a first-choice pick,and he also recognised the work ofgoalkeeping coach Kevin Pressmanand current number two David Fordefor his recent form. “As a young keeper you’re bound tomake some mistakes but it’s how you

bounce back,” he stressed. “I don’treally dwell (on mistakes), you justhave to dust yourself down and goagain. “After that game (at Fleetwood) Iwoke up early on Wednesday morningand was ready to go. I was lookingforward to the game on Saturday. “As a keeper you’ll get no benefitfrom dwelling on those sorts of thingsso you’ve just got to move on. I’mtrying to improve, I’m still a youngkeeper and how to manage games issomething that’ll come withexperience.“Kevin has been first-class ever sinceI came in in January. Fordey’s beenbrilliant as well. We talk about a gameon a Monday or the Thursday after aTuesday night game. “We have about half an hour to goover stuff but after that it’s aboutpreparing for the next game.”

That next game is in the secondround of the FA Cup this Saturdayagainst Wycombe, the next in aDecember schedule that could befurther clogged if it ends in a draw. But Archer welcomes the busy natureof this part of the Lions’ season. “Personally I’m looking forward toit,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of gamesand it will take its toll but we’ve justgot to recover well. “We’ve got to take every game as itcomes. We’re in the mix and hopefullycome May we’ll be there orthereabouts. “We’ve got a big cup game onSaturday at home to Wycombe andthen at Southend on Tuesday. Thethird round of the FA Cup is somethingyou would look forward to becausethere’s always the possibility ofdrawing a top team, but we’re fullyfocussed on Saturday.” Keeper relishing Millwall’s busy December schedule

Former Yeovildefender aims tobreak personal goaltally this season

NEIL HARRIS said JimmyAbdou’s return to full training wasone of the reasons for allowing 21-year-old midfielder Jack Powell tojoin Braintree Town on loan. Powell made his debut for the NationalLeague side last Saturday in theirgoalless draw with Torquay, and Harrissaid the decision was taken with Powelland the club’s long-term interests inmind. Harris explained: “Jack just lovesplaying. He wants to play and he’s notbeen involved of late. With Jimmygetting back to full training Jack’sfrustration at wanting to play footballevery Saturday gave us a goodopportunity to send him out for a periodof time to get competitive minutes whilewe look like we’ve got cover. “I have to look at what benefits theclub in the long run. The long run is Jacktrying to force his way into the firstteam. He’s not had a lot of minutes thisseason, certainly due to the form ofShaun Williams, George Saville andBen Thompson. “We’re getting Jimmy back fit, EdUpson, we have options in the middle ofthe park. I’ve got cover in so gettingJack out playing with a Braintree sidethat play really high-tempo football, andthey’ve got a lot of games in a shortperiod of time, is a good opportunity forhim. “It was the right time for me to let himout.”Harris said Abdou, who suffered aserious collarbone injury in the 5-3defeat to Peterborough on October 3,will not be available for the FA Cupsecond round tie against Wycombe onSaturday but could come into contentionnext week.

BYRON WEBSTER wasserving a one-game ban forMillwall’s clash at BurtonAlbion on Tuesday night – buthe still asked his manager NeilHarris if it was okay to travelwith the squad to supportthem at the Pirelli Stadium. That’s the type of unity Harrishas preached about since early inthe summer as he began buildinga squad and spirit in his first fullseason in charge of the Lions. And Webster has been part of adefence that has typified itrecently, particularly at The Denwhere Millwall have kept fiveclean sheets in their last eightgames.At the other end Webster hasscored his first goals for Millwallthis season since he joined the club

from Yeovil Town in July 2014. And he wants to contributemore. The 6ft 4ins centre-back isaiming to break his tally for aseason – five with Yeovil in 2012-13 when he and Ed Upson werepart of a squad that wonpromotion to the second tier ofEnglish football for the first time –and also believes there is stillroom for improvement in defence. “We’re disappointed we haven’tkept more clean sheets,” he said.“There haven’t been many teamsthat have cut us open recently.They’ve either been good strikeslike at Plymouth (in the FootballLeague Trophy), for instance, orset plays. “As a defensive unit we’re stillworking hard, wanting to keepclean sheets. At the other end weare scoring a lot of goals. I’ve gotthree for the season and the mostI’ve got in a season is five so I’d

like to break that.”Millwall have developed a hard-edge at home recently, with Harriscalling their 1-0 win over Burylast weekend a “street fight”.Webster agrees and thinks theplayers have learned how tocontrol games, even when theydon’t have the ball when earlier inthe season that prompted panicand led to the concession of elevengoals in the first four home games. He explained: “I think in thesecond half (against Bury) weshowed another side to our game.When we’re under pressure athome we can keep our shape andbe difficult to break down, andthen we’ve got the players tocounter-attack. “It was a game with a bit ofeverything. The first five or tenminutes we were under the cosh alittle bit but we took control of thegame and were happy going in a

goal up at half-time. “Although they had a lot ofpossession I don’t think Jordan(Archer) had many saves to makeand we felt in control.“Every game we do quite a bit of‘intelligence’ on the opposition, alot of video work so we know a lotabout our opponents. “Concentration is a big thing.That means concentration fromset plays, when the other team hasthe ball to be able to keep yourshape, and to hold onto it whenyou get it. We’re very fortunatethat we’ve got a lot of players whocan travel well with the ball,Aiden (O’Brien), Ed (Upson),Willo (Shaun Willimas), Sav(George Saville), they can traveldistances with the ball whichgives us a breather. Thenobviously we’ve got theattackers up there who can putchances away.”

LISTENING TO Neil Harrisafter Millwall’s second 2-1defeat on successive Tuesdaynights one could have beenforgiven for thinking he’s abetter man than most. Others who’d seen their team onthe wrong end of severalcontentious refereeing decisionsmight have been less restrained anddelivered a more damningassessment of Oliver Langford’sperformance that arguably costMillwall at least a point at thePirelli Stadium. But Harris was calm and measuredas he outlined his grievances – andhe didn’t spare his own side fromsome pointed criticism, particularlyfor the nature of the two goals theyconceded. Harris actually even praisedreferee Langford on the pitchafterwards, but he felt the official’sdecisions contributed to his playersheading back to London withnothing to show for their effortsagainst Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’sside. To those controversies, with twoof them centring on Aiden O’Brien.It was hard to pinpoint whatexactly the striker had done wrongin the 26th minute when he broke inbehind the Burton defence to lift theball to the net over goalkeeper JonMcLaughlin. But Langford hadseen a handball from O’Brien thatnot many of the 2,888 punters in thestands could have corroborated. Langford compounded thatdecision and inflamed further thefrustration on the Lions bench bybooking the striker, apparently forhis reaction.In the second half, with Millwallcranking up the pressure on theirhosts, O’Brien was taken down inthe box. The 600 supporters in theaway end waited for a whistle thatdidn’t come and after the sinned-against Lions player had receivedtreatment from physio Bobby Baciche let the fourth official know of hisfrustration before coming back on. It’s a credit to Harris and hisplayers that they maintained theircool and Millwall almost forced anequaliser in the fifth minute ofinjury time. Instead, there wasfurther controversy. After SteveMorison had flicked on a long free-kick and Lee Gregory headed theball towards goal, Mark Beeverswas punished for a foul on

McLaughlin. Beevers was given asecond yellow card, with Burton’splayers perhaps not helping byconverging on Langford with theirgoalkeeper prone in the area.The win sent Burton top of LeagueOne, but Millwall will have to waituntil at least December 12 and theaway game at Oldham to finallyclimb into the top six. Harris said he wasn’t going topraise anyone for a defeat, but therewere positives to take away. Sid Nelson, 19, made his first startfor Millwall since the 3-1 win overCrewe in September. He replacedthe suspended Byron Webster andwas immediately tested by thestrong running of Stuart Beavon.He did well, showing his pace andintelligent reading of the game. Andhe demonstrated his bravery in thesecond half with a couple ofinspiring clearing headers, one ofwhich left him winded and needing

attention on the touchline as hestrained to get back on. The really galling thing aboutBurton’s two first-half goals washow preventable they were. Thefirst was a pre-planned move in the35th minute when, instead ofwhipping a free-kick to the backpost as Millwall expected, MarkDuffy rolled the ball into the boxwhere left-back Damien McCroryhad made a run across the defencethat went unseen. McCrory’s finishwas still excellent, but it was aroutine that hadn’t been anticipated.Harris highlighted the lack ofleadership in identifying the danger,and questions of collectiveresponsibility will have to beanswered before Wycombe visitThe Den in the second round of theFA Cup on Saturday. Burton played with nowhere nearthe intensity that Fleetwood had theTuesday before, yet Millwall found

themselves two goals down threeminutes before the break whenNasser El Khayati swept the ballpast Jordan Archer after a rapidbreak. Again the source of the goalwas easily identifiable, GeorgeSaville losing the ball on the edgeof the box after Fred Onyedinma’sheader towards goal had beenblocked. Ben Thompson came on forSaville at half-time and LeeGregory for Shane Ferguson butthose changes didn’t really changethe complexion of the game untilJoe Martin prodded in his first goalin a Millwall shirt in the 75thminute to reduce the Burton lead. That was the first time Burtonlooked under real pressure as agame that gave no real indication itwould turn into such a fractiouscontest in the first half looked like itwould spill over every time therewas a collision between the sides.

Joe takes no joy from goalJOE MARTIN scored his firstgoal in a Millwall shirt since hissummer move from Gillingham –but he said it counted for nothingas the Lions lost at BurtonAlbion. Martin was on hand a few yards outin the 75th minute to poke the ball tothe net after pinball in the Brewersarea. That invigorated the away side andthey pressed incessantly for anequaliser with Burton forced intoseveral desperate clearances. And Martin said he would haveswapped his goal for a result. “I wasn’t marked and was on theedge of the box so the gaffer told meto go in,” he said. “I was looking fora little knockdown and just tapped itin. “But you don’t get anything forlosing. I’d have preferred to at leastget something out of the game thanscore.”Martin was also frustrated withsome of referee Oliver Langford’sdecisions, particularly the red card hedished out to Mark Beevers and alsowhen he failed to award a penalty fora foul on Aiden O’Brien after earlierwhistling for handball before thestriker found the net. The left-back explained: “I didn’treally see how Aiden’s goal wasdisallowed, to be honest, I thought itwas very harsh. But the bigger onefor me was it should have been apenalty for Aiden in the second half. “To me it was a stonewall penalty.It was 2-1 at the time and we wereputting them under a lot of pressurethroughout the whole of the secondhalf. “The sending off, anyone on ourteam will tell you (Beevers’)momentum has taken him over theplayer, I don’t really know what theref saw. “Their players have made a bit of afuss about it so that’s what’s got himsent off.

Gregory and Brewers midfielderCalum Butcher were booked after ascuffle in the Burton half thatsucked in players from both sidesbefore the angst dissipated. But that edge to the game suitedMillwall more than the hosts andthey had a number of chances to

rescue a result that had lookedbeyond them at half-time. Burton were still dangerous on thebreak, however, and El Khayatilooked like he had added a third goalbut after he made his way into thebox to shoot, Shaun Cummings’attempted block sent the ball

spinning and curving just outsideArcher’s far post. At the other end Gregory’s shotfrom ten yards was blocked and asMorison was lining up the reboundthe linesman’s flag intervened. The large travelling support weregiven fresh hope that their journey

would not be in vain when the fourthofficial lifted his board to indicatefive minutes of added time. That stretched to six minutes andtwenty seconds as Archer launcheda series of free-kicks into the homepenalty area. But Burton, who have conceded

just six goals at home in the leaguethis season and lost just once,defended stoutly to hand Millwalltheir seventh defeat in 20 LeagueOne games.It was an undeserved one, butHarris was maintaining perspectiveat the end.

MILLWALL BOSS Neil Harrisgave David Forde his first startsince August in the 3-1 firstround win over AFC Fylde andhe could feature again againstWycombe, who are in ninth placein League Two.

Shane Ferguson and George Savilleare again unavailable for an FACup fixture as their parent clubsdon’t want to cup-tie the pair, butByron Webster is back after hisone-game suspension. Webster is hoping that theconfidence built up on the back ofan eight-game unbeaten sequenceat home and the support of TheDen crowd will see Millwallthrough against Gareth Aisworth’s

side. “We’re on a good run at home,”the 28-year-old defender said: “Dowe expect to win? Yes, if we’rebeing honest. We have to go outthere and work our socks off toearn the right to win the game. “The fans have been fantastic, andthat might be down to us as well,we’re giving them something tocheer about. It’s good they cancheer when we’re winning but they

also understand when we’regrafting. When we’re under a bit ofpressure they’re there for us andappreciate the tackles and hardwork and something as simple asclearing a ball up the pitch.”The last time Millwall won twoconsecutive FA Cup fixtures wasin 2012-13 when they went on toreach the semi-finals where theylost 2-0 to eventual winnersWigan Athletic.

Harris says:We can’t afford to let teams dothat at set-pieces and expect towin games, so I’mdisappointed and frustrated. We were comfortable and theboys were calm. We pressed theball really well when we didn’thave it and when we did we werecalm. Burton are a good side, they’rereally organised and really fit. Butwe were in no danger, so the firstgoal was really poor to concedethe way we did. There was acomplete lack of leadership in theteam. The second goal was from ourcorner and that’s frustratingbecause we should be better thanthat. It’s an uphill battle whenyou’re 2-0 down but having saidthat we did well enough to getsomething and get back in thegame. Really, a travesty of justice hascost us a goal and a penalty. He’s a good man, Oliver, and Ilike him as a ref. When he wasreffing when I was a player I likedworking with him. He’s a goodguy, but he got it wrong(Tuesday). He thought it was handball forAiden’s goal. I asked him aboutthe second one, the penalty (thatwasn’t given) and he told methere’s contact on (O’Brien). It’sstuds-up, waist high and the ball isgone past the player, so it can’t beanything other than a penalty. That’s frustrating because it’sjust the most blatant penaltyyou’re likely to see this year. Andthe red card just tops it off, really.There’s no malice in the challengewhatsoever. Mark wasn’t evenlooking at the boy. He just landsand the goalie is on the floor aftercatching the ball. It’s a bizarreone.

MILLWALL BOSS Neil Harrissaid he was “irritated andfrustrated” after the 2-1 defeatto Burton Albion on Tuesdaynight. The Lions were on the wrong endof several of referee OliverLangford’s decisions and Harrismade his displeasure at theofficial’s performance known. Mark Beevers was sent off ininjury time and will now miss thisweekend’s FA Cup tie againstWycombe. There was also confusion whenLangford penalised Aiden O’Brienfor a handball that few saw and thatcost the striker a goal. Langford also missed a foul onO’Brien in the second half thatHarris thought was a definitepenalty. Harris said of Beevers’ red card:“Mark is entitled to go for theheader and the goalkeeper haslanded and Mark’s landed on top ofhim. He’s not even sure if he’stouched him at all.“It’s a very unprofessionaldecision by the referee. In all sortsof ways I’m at a loss to explainsome of the decisions.” However, Harris was alsounhappy with the quality ofMillwall’s defending in the defeat. He explained: “Ultimately we’velost the game because of two poordecisions by us.“I’m irritated and frustrated andI’ve told the players in no uncertainterms that it’s not good enough.We’re not going to be a team thatstarted the season really well awayfrom home and poor at home andthen become a team that is verygood at home and struggles away. “That’s not going to be us. Weneed to stand up and be counted. “We’ve conceded poor goals inthe last two away games and thatneeds to change, it will change.“However good and dominant wewere in the second half I look at agame as a whole and we weren’tgood enough. We’ll learn from it,we can be better and we will bebetter.”

MILLWALL COULD be inline for a significant financialboost if they get pastWycombe in the FA Cupsecond round this Saturday. A high-profile third round drawagainst one of the big PremierLeague sides could potentially beworth up to £750,000 to the club,according to Andy Ambler. Millwall face two big cup gamesthis weekend and on Tuesdayagainst Southend in the southernsection semi-final of theJohnstone’s Paint Trophy. And while the Lions are just tworounds away from Wembley inthat competition, chief executive

Ambler said it’s the FA Cup thatwould offer the more immediatefinancial benefit. He explained: “The JPT isn’t thebiggest boost to the club, butobviously a Wembley appearancewould be. You only really makemoney in the JPT when you get toWembley. “We’ve been to Wembley threetimes since John Berylson tookover the club and we’d love to doit a fourth time. “It’s more about just winninggames and competitions. Nowwe’ve got to within touchingdistance, I guess, we’ll be goingall out to get there. Will it be afinancial boost? We’ll still losemoney this year, that’s wherewe’re going to be.

“The Wycombe game ismassive, however. We need tobeat them and get to the thirdround. We haven’t had that luckyArsenal or Manchester Unitedaway draw that other clubs havehad. “If you can get one of those twothat could potentially bring you inthree-quarters of a millionpounds. So you could look at itand think that’s a lot of money fora club in League One. “Both the Wycombe andSouthend games, for differentreasons, are big games and astepping stone to some well-needed cash. “But we’ve got to get pastWycombe first and that won’t beeasy. Both clubs will be looking

at that thinking, ‘We need to getthrough this round’ and thencrossing fingers for the draw.”
