Recycling Forum Meeting

The next meeting of the Recycling Forum will be on Thursday 16th February, from 6.30 - 8.00 pm at:

Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility
43 Devon St
London
SE15 1AL

The focus of the meeting is to provide information and support with applications to this year's EnviroGrant scheme, which offers funding and practical support for Southwark-based community groups and projects - along with the opportunity to ask any questions about recycling in Southwark. Refreshments will be provided.

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is on the 6th March at 7.30 at St Paul's Church, Lorrimore Square.

The AGM was to have been held in November last year but this was cancelled by Southwark Council at the last minute. Please come and take part - it is important that you do come as we need as many people there so that we keep our funding and because we will be electing a committee to carry on the work of the Association to improve area where you live.

There's also a lot to talk about:

• The TRA is working on making a concreted area on Lorrimore Road in to a green space.


• We need to set plans in place for the Annual Summer Picnic in Lorrimore Square - should we make it a celebration for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee? We might be able to get additional funding for this.


• There's also our ongoing campaign to establish Lorrimore Square as a Protected Green Space to prevent it being built on.

Our Resident Services Officer from Southwark Council, Suzanne Matthews, will be there so it's an ideal opportunity to talk about issues with her.

Put the time and date in your diary. It's a great way to meet your neighbours.

Refreshments will be provided.

Development of Manor Place Terrace

The TRA has often discussed the run down terrace on Manor Place, and plans for redevelopment. It seems that, finally, something may be about to happen! A public meeting on the subject is due to take place at St Paul's Church, Lorrimore Square on Tuesday 24th January - from 7.00 pm. See the poster below:

Meeting to organise a new AGM

There will be a meeting to organise a new AGM for the TRA next Tuesday (10th Jan) at 7.30 pm in St Paul's Church office. The office is under St Paul's Church, the door to the office is directly opposite Carter Street (there's even a gap in the railings to save you walking round to the main gate).

Items for discussion include the leafleting and other ways to make sure everyone who lives in the TRA area knows about the AGM to ensure we achieve a successful meeting.

If you can't come, but you are willing to help with leafleting to make sure we can hold a successful AGM, then please get in touch (surreygardenstra@gmail.com). The aim is to hold the AGM in March, but the date will be confirmed at the meeting on Tuesday.

Hope to see you on Tuesday!
