Construction skills
centre opens
to first trainees

by Dick Townsend-Smith

THE ROYAL Borough has opened a
fourth specialist skills centre as part
of plans to provide training for local
people and boost their job prospects.

The borough’s new Construction Skills
Centre in Kidbrooke opened its doors last
week and the first 20 recruits are learning
how to repair roads.

It is the fourth specialist skills centre to
be launched as part of a council initiative to
provide training opportunities for residents
so they can work in key sectors with
excellent job prospects.

The centre is set to provide up to 950
training places every year for entry-level
jobs in the construction industry.

Its two classrooms will be used to deliver
training in a wide range of construction
skills, such as kerb and drain laying,
asbestos awareness and traffic marshalling.

The first trainees will learn a wide range of
skills from laying paving to street repairs.
They have been recruited to the council’s

Woolwich also needs a cinema

AS part of the effort to preserve
town centres in the Royal Borough of
Greenwich, Eltham town centre is to
have a new cinema while Grove Market
Place is regenerated.

Woolwich town centre is also
undergoing regeneration and could do
with a new cinema along with a facelift
to Woolwich covered market and new
shops on Beresford Street opposite
the Royal Arsenal development and
Crossrail. This could go someway in
encouraging people to use our town
centres in the evenings and weekends
to shop and visit the cinema, leisure
centre, pubs and restaurants in
Woolwich town centre and support
local businesses.

Graham Justine, Blackheath
• A council spokesperson said: "Thank you
for your letter. There is certainly no doubt

that a new cinema would make a valuable
addition to Woolwich Town Centre and
complement the on-going regeneration
that is taking place there. As you may
be aware the council has adopted the
Woolwich Town Centre masterplan SPD in
April 201 2, which creates both a vision and
framework for future regeneration. This
framework provides details of a number
of opportunity sites for new development
including the potential for a new cinema.
The council is continuing to work with
partners which seek to bring proposals
such as a cinema and restaurants uses as
part of our continuing regeneration activity
in the town. With all this activity we hope
that the new developments will encourage
people to use and visit the town centre,
boost the economy, and support local
businesses, which will help the town to
grow and prosper."

Cycle lanes
are fantastic
until cars park
in them

I HAD to smile, reading Greenwich Time
(July 8). We had a lovely picture of a
presentation of cycles to the Islamic
centre, Woolwich - two experienced
cyclists, Met Police chief inspector, Peter
Turner, the mosque director and others.

It was very nice. And yet if they had
taken the trouble to walk 100/200 metres
to Plumstead Station, they would have
been aware of probably one of the most
abused cycle lanes in the borough, with
cars parked in it on a daily basis, without
fail, plus on many occasions parked in
the cycle lane by the mosque.

Mr J Trappitt, Thamesmead
• A council spokesperson said:

"We are sorry Mr Trappitt has had problems
using the Plumstead Road cycle lanes as a
result of thoughtless parking. Unfortunately,
it is a problem around many of our schools,
colleges and places of worship.

We are always working with those places
to develop travel plans that encourage
their staff and visitors to walk, cycle or
use public transport where possible and
park considerately if they have to drive.
Partnership working is generally the best
approach but we will always take enforcement
action where it is not."

YOU TAKE
ME FOR?:
Pixie Lott

for pupils

Church
Primary
School and

CHILDREN at Christ Church
Primary School, in Commerell Street,
Greenwich, had a huge surprise this
week when they were told Pixie Lott
was going to sing at their school.

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter,
whose hits include All About Tonight,
is the niece of teaching assistant Vicky
Bennett.

She agreed to sing and answer
questions at the seven-class school

on Wednesday in a flying visit, after
visiting another school in Kent and
before a television commitment.

It was a flying visit, but pupils - who
were only told the day before - had the
chance to ask three questions per class
from the single-year intake.

Deputy headteacher Amanda Wilson
said: “It’s the first time we’ve had
someone as big as her.

“It was the icing on the cake at the

end of a great year because we have
had fantastic SATs results this year.”

The Key Stage 2 results were 92% in
reading (up from 65% last year), 96% in
reading (77%) and 96% in maths (62%)
after a collaboration with St Mary
Magdalene School, Woolwich.

Questions from the 170 pupils
included ‘Who would you most like to
do a duet with?’ by Year 5 - the answer
being the American singer-songwriter

Bruno Mars - and ‘Do you play any
instruments?’ Pixie told them she
played piano and guitar, but not as well
as the accompanist who came with her
on the day.

When asked ‘W hat is it like to be
rich and famous?’ Pixie said she had
never been asked that before, said
Mrs Wilson. “She said it meant she
met a lot of cool people and did a lot of
travelling,” said Mrs Wilson.

Property firm funds
more Tall Ships crew

Boss funds three from his old school for regatta

by Dick Townsend-Smith

LOCAL property developers are
sponsoring three more young sailors to
join the Falmouth to Royal Greenwich
Tall Ships Regatta later this summer.

Cathedral Holdings had already
sponsored two youngsters.

However, Richard Upton, chief executive
of Cathedral Holdings, was keen to
support young people from his old school,
Crown Woods.

Year 12 students Edward Neville and
Brendan Gilhooley were selected, along
with Year 11 student Megan Barrett.

They will join 16-year-olds Ethan O’Neill
and Sapphire Hales, who were the original
two selected for Team Cathedral, for the
race in early September.

Cathedral Holdings are behind the
development of The Movement next to
Grerenwich DLR station.

Richard said: “We believe in supporting
young people and giving them a chance to
develop skills for life and work.

“When I was at Crown Woods, I was a
member of the Air Cadets and achieved
my private pilot’s licence at the age
of 17 years old. This was a wonderful
opportunity for me to broaden my
horizons and I am looking forward to
meeting our sailors and hearing about
their race from Falmouth to Greenwich.”

The regatta will see more than 50 tall

Noisy tenant
fined £800

THE tenant of a council flat in Mulgrave Road,
Woolwich, has been fined £800 for playing
loud music.

The royal borough brought the prosecution
against Peter Foster after complaints from
neighbours. He was sent warning letters and
a noise abatement notice, but ignored them.
Bromley magistrates ordered his music
equipment to be seized by the council's Noise
Team at a hearing on July 1 .This included a
CD player, a graphic equalizer, a turntable, a
stereo synthesiser/tuner, an amplifier and two
sets of speakers, worth together about £200.
Foster, who was not in court, was also ordered
to pay costs of £683 and a victim surcharge of
£20. The council is now taking out an eviction
order against him to repossess his flat.

Cllr Jackie Smith, the council's cabinet member
for community safety and environment, said:
"This was a serious case, which the magistrates
recognised by the level of fine they imposed.
Residents who commit anti-social behaviour
such as noise nuisance, which can ruin the
lives of their neighbours, can expect the
council to take serious action to stop their
selfish behaviour."

new £5m highways improvement scheme,
which will provide jobs for unemployed
people.

They will receive specialist training to
carry out repairs to the borough’s roads,
on top of the current programme for road
maintenance.

They were all recruited by GLLaB,
the borough’s local employment
initiative and are working with highway
maintenance experts from Riney while
training is delivered by Greenwich
Community College and the CITB
National Construction College.

Trainee Gary Norman, 22, said: “I’ve
done some work like this before which
is why I wanted to take part. It’s not that
easy getting a job at the moment but the
job centre and GLLaB told me about this
and I thought it sounded like a really
good opportunity. I like hands-on work,
not sitting in an office. I live locally
and once I’ve got the qualification and
training I can go to local sites and tell
them I have these skills and hopefully
they’ll be able to take me on”.

Twenty-four year old trainee Scott
O’Brien said: “I’ve always been
interested in construction - I’ve tried
working in retail before but it’s not for
me. I much prefer manual labour. It’s
gone really well this first week - we’ve
learned things we probably wouldn’t
have been able to learn anywhere else.
I’ve enjoyed concrete mixing and laying
a plot. Hopefully this will give me the
knowledge and grounding working in the
construction industry”.

Cllr Sizwe James, the council’s cabinet
member for business, employment and

skills, said: “This is a fantastic facility
and a great addition to our other
specialist skills and training centres
across the borough. Together they
offer hundreds of places on specialist
courses in industries we know people
have an excellent chance of securing long
term employment in. This is all about
creating as many chances as possible
for our residents to access training and
valuable experience which will lead
to permanent jobs. I wish all the new
recruits the very best for the future and I

know they’ll get an excellent grounding.

“We know that in our ambitious
programme of regeneration and
development that there are a lot of local
jobs available in construction - and this
helps to ensure our own residents can
access that work.”

• The borough's other centres are the
Digital Skills Centre on the Greenwich

Cabinet to set out priorities for next 1 2 months

A WIDE-ranging set of
priorities for the rest of the
year is due to be discussed
when the council’s cabinet
meets tomorrow (Wednesday,
July 23).

They include the opening of
the horticultural skills centre
on Shooters Hill, checking that

the council’s plans to support
small local businesses are
working effectively, creating
more affordable housing and
improving repairs to council
houses, and the council-backed
Violence and Organised Crime
Unit and the Domestic Violence
Intervention Unit.

Also on the agenda are plans
to work more closely with NHS
staff locally to boost the quality
of service, drive up standards
in borough schools and provide
more places, and develop
sports facilities at Sutcliffe
Park and Hervey Road. The
borough’s cultural life also

features in the priorities,
including developing a new
performing arts centre in the
Royal Arsenal, turning the
Borough Halls in Greenwich
into a performing arts hub,
and delivering a successful
Tall Ships Regatta later in the
year.

Bang to rights

Newsagent fined £2,000 for firework safety breach

by Dick Townsend-Smith

THIS innocent-looking stack
of cardboard boxes could have
caused a huge explosion at a
newsagents in Eltham.

They were packed with
fireworks with names like Atomic
Burst and Sky Terror - but no
steps had been taken to store
them safely at Raj News in Well
Hall Road.

This led to proprietor Rajendra
Patel being fined £2,000 after a
prosecution was brought by the
Royal Borough of Greenwich.
He pleaded guilty to the offences
at Bexley Magistrates’ Court on
July 14.

The court heard that trading
standards officers had carried out
an inspection on October 31 last
year and found multiple boxes
of fireworks on the shop floor
weighing about 65 kilos, with
another 25 kilos in a store room.
The law says that live fireworks
need to be locked securely away
so that members of the public
cannot get to them.

Patel told the court that the
fireworks had been delivered the
previous night, and he had not
had a chance to store them away.

Trading Standards pointed
out that there was not enough

room in the stock room to store
them anyway. They included
the more powerful ‘Category 3’
fireworks which have to be stored
at minimum distances from other
parts of the building.

As well as the £2,000 fine, Patel
was ordered to pay prosecution
costs of £1,317.92 and a victim

surcharge of £120.

Cllr Jackie Smith, the council’s
cabinet member for community
safety and environment, said:
“If an overnight fire had started
in this shop, the consequences
for the neighbouring properties
could have been horrific. We
mustn’t forget that fireworks are

DANGEROUS: the boxes of fireworks
improperly stored at Raj News

really explosives, and they should
be treated and stored as such. The
sheer volume of fireworks stored
improperly in this shop could
have been disastrous.

“I congratulate trading
standards for their diligence and I
hope this will serve as a warning
to other traders.”

Police appeal for
stolen jewellery

POLICE have
released two
images of jewellery
which was stolen
in a burglary in
Sidcup and are
now appealing for
information.

On Thursday June
19 thieves forced
the backdoor of an
address in Radfield
Way and stole a
number of valuable

jewellery plus and
an iPad.

Two diamond rings
were stolen - one
is particularly
unique and has a
distinctive flower
design.
Investigating
officer Ian Waller,
from the Greenwich
Burglary Squad
said: "We are keen
to speak with
anyone who saw
anything suspicious
or anyone who may
have come across
the jewellery in the
images".

• Anyone with
information should
call DC Waller on
0208 284 9573 or
Crimestoppers
on 0800 555 111.

AND THE WINNER IS:
Christopher Lunde
Ngomo, Zoe Cutler
and JackMackay
receive their awards
and certificates from
Greenwich Mayor Cllr
Mick Hayes and James
Ward, representing
awards sponsor Canary
Wharf Contractors

GROUP of young people who
have shown courage, gone the extra
mile, helped others, or overcome
personal difficulties been publically
recognised at an awards ceremony.

The borough’s Do The Right Thing
awards on Friday, July 11, celebrated
their astonishing achievements at a
presentation ceremony at Eltham Palace.

The awards were presented by the
Mayor of Royal Greenwich, Cllr Mick
Hayes, together with James Ward from
sponsors Canary Wharf Contractors.

They included an award for 11-year-
old Jack Mackay from Eltham, who was
overall winner in the Bravery category.

He protected his mum and baby brother
in a dog attack. By shouting at the dog
Jack managed to divert its attention
away from his family and onto him.

Unfortunately, this led to Jack being
attacked by the dog. He sustained serious
injuries to his face and arms which
required plastic surgery. Despite this
trauma, Jack has returned to school and
has been preparing for his Year 6 tests.

His mum, Lucy, said: “He is very brave.
He jumped in front of me and screamed
to get the dog’s attention. He’s doing
really well now, and not scared of dogs at
all - like I am.”

Christopher Lunde Ngomo, 10, from
Abbey Wood, got the top award for being

by Dick Townsend-Smith

a Model Citizen. He takes responsibility
for his two younger siblings, including
a brother with special needs, showing
patience and understanding and is
always calm and friendly At his school,
Boxgrove Primary, he is a great friend
to his classmates and is always kind and
considerate of others. Christopher said:
“Getting the award is really nice, I felt
speechless when they said my name. It
was a great day for me.”

Zoe Cutler was overall winner in the
category of Community Role Model. She
has a hearing impairment but tackled
this by becoming a volunteer with the
Avery Hill Youth Club for young people
with disabilities.

Her exceptional dedication has meant
she was accepted as a volunteer at just 14,
despite the minimum age usually being
16. She has supported the young people
with art projects, trips and activities and
keep-fit classes, where she adapted the
exercises to suit individual abilities.

Lauren Jenkins, 14, from Thamesmead,
who goes to St Paul’s Academy, won the
award for being an inspiration to others.
Supported by Hawksmoor Youth Club,
she got a work placement at London
Fire Brigade and successfully completed
the course, receiving an award for

£1 Ok rent
recovered

THE royal borough has
successfully reclaimed
more than £10,000 from
a tenant who sub-let her
council property.

Jean Neal was ordered to pay
a total of £12,169.83 - including
costs and legal fees as well as
what she owed to the council
- by Chesterfield Crown Court
on July 4.

She formerly held a tenancy
in Sunbury Street, Woolwich.

As part of a pro-active
exercise into tenancy fraud
by the council’s internal
audit and anti-fraud team,
undertaken in May 2012, it was
identified that Mrs Neal had
not been living there, but in
Derbyshire having sublet her
council property.

When presented with the
evidence, Mrs Neal admitted
that she was no longer resident
at the Woolwich address.

She immediately arranged
for the keys of the property to
be returned.

Civil proceedings were then
taken to recover the council’s

losses, between April 15, 2011
to August 19, 2012.

At the hearing, District Judge
Davies told Mrs Neal to pay
the full amount of £10,970.77
owed to the Royal Borough,
plus legal costs, interest and
expenses of the council - a
total of £12,169.83.

Cllr Chris Kirby, the cabinet
member for housing, said: “In
the last few years the royal
borough has strengthened its
investigation techniques and
these new detection methods are
now being used to full effect and
this successful case is another
example of the innovative work
now being undertaken.

“It sends a strong message
to those who set out to sublet
our valuable housing stock
that you will get caught and
we will seek to recover our
financial losses.”

'Good Choices Day was really insightful'

ABOUT 100 residents attended Arnott
Pre-school's Good Choices Day.

They were able to hear from several
service providers offering free advice
and information about topics ranging
from healthcare to road safety, leisure
activities and Peabody's strategy team,
to help them make good choices.
Residents were also able to hear about
the future of Thamesmead.

"Today has been really informative,"
said Solange Diboa, whose daughters
both attend Arnott Pre-school.

"It is the first time I have attended and
it has been very insightful."

Olu Botu added: "Working 9am-5pm I
didn't know much about what services
are available to me locally.

"Coming here has made me feel a part
of the community. I've even learnt
things about issues that don't directly
relate to me, but now know how to
look out for difficulties in friends and
neighbours and know where I should
direct them if they need help."

The day proved popular with
children, too, offering face painting
and smoothie making, Zumba and a
picnic at the Good Life Garden based
in Birchmere Park, where Arnott Pre-
school children often visit to plant
seeds and see them grow.

Trust Thamesmead's Childcare
Manager, Tracy Norcott, said: "Good
Choices Day is an important date in
both our pre-school calendars.

"Every year a number of service
providers give up their time to
attend and we cannot underestimate
the difference that makes to many
residents' lives.

"It gives them the chance to ask
questions and find out more about
topics that matter to them."

'Confidence course landed me a job'

Parents praise 'Discover ME' sessions and describe how advice has helped improve their lives

by Dick Townsend-Smith

MORE than 100 parents and students
from Eltham have been taking part
in sessions to learn more about
themselves.

Organised by local schools and supported
by the council, the sessions helped them
grow in confidence and to be inspired to
take more positive actions.

Called Discover ME, the four weekly one-
day sessions were held at Middle Park,
Horn Park, Haimo and Montbelle
primary schools, Vistafield and
Greenacres children’s centres and
Eltham Hill School.

Parents were full of praise for what
they had learned.

Haimo attendee Leanne Stewart
said: “I was asked to make a speech
in front of 150 people. With a lot
of help and encouragement,

I made my speech and even
managed to enjoy it.”

Linda Evans, who went to
the Discover ME sessions
on employability at
Eltham Hill School,
said: “By changing my
outlook and being more
positive and confident, I
was able to apply for a job
after 21 years out of work.

“I thought I had nothing
to offer being ‘just a mum’,
but it turns out that was

just my negative self-talk. Discover ME
taught me that I have many transferable
skills and that I actually had a lot to offer.
So much so, I got the job I applied for.”

Mum-of-two Victoria Xuereb from New
Eltham, who went to sessions at Montbelle
primary, said: “They helped me build
inner confidence, make new friends and
find a balance in my busy life.

“They also made me more positive and
grateful for things rather than worrying
about things that are less important.”

Former primary school teacher Marion
Tourral said: “The programme changed
my life. It gave me a lot of confidence. I
suffer from [skin condition] psoriasis
and it made me not want to go out,
but the course has helped me cope
with people’s looks and comments.
“I’m now going to set up my
own personalised gifts
business, such as making
personalised aprons.”
Elektra Michael, who
went to the Discover ME
employability sessions
at Greenacres, said:
“I got myself a job
as a Christmas temp
at Argos. It was a
huge deal for me as
I hadn’t worked in
more than eight years
because I was bringing
up my children. I’ve now
become a stronger and
more confident person.”
Lucy Hewitt, who went

PARENT POWER: Some of the 100 parents who learnt how to be more positive pictured with Discover ME director Anna
Garcia, third from left, and entertainer Femi Santiago, the former contestant on the BBC's The Voice (also inset, left)

to sessions at Montbelle Primary, said the
course had given her the confidence to
take on chairing her PTA. The programme
was also piloted successfully for students
at Eltham Hill School. There are now plans
to roll it out to other secondary schools.

Discover ME director Anna Garcia said:
“The transformations we have seen have
been life changing. We thank all the heads,

coordinators and teams who facilitated
this process and acknowledge the great
courage of each one of our participants.”

Parents were presented with awards, at a
special event at Eltham Hill, by the Mayor
of Royal Greenwich, Cllr Mick Hayes,
and singer Femi Santiago, a singer who
competed on BBC show The Voice this
year.

Plumcro
flower
power goes
on parade

by Thoo Dinh

CHILDREN from Plumcroft
Primary School went to General
Gordon Square in Woolwich and
held a community carnival and
parade.

The children started the morning
with their costumes and banners,
parading up and down Powis
Street.

They handed out paper flowers
to passers-by which were all
handmade by the pupils themselves.

And Year 1 prepared pom-poms which
were then hung on the trees of Woolwich.

Children also had a chance to showcase
their talents with performances on the
stage, including „
dancing and fc B r l

music.

The school
not only held
a carnival,
but produced
a five- week
long project
which involved
all classes
participating
in activities
that assisted
the community.

They visited

FORWARD MARCH: Plumcroft pupils put on a carnival

Tesco where they helped customers
with their shopping, while some classes
visited Len Clifton House, in Woolwich,
where they sang and read poetry to the
elderly.

About 600 children took part in the
all-singing,
dancing, art and
film-making
month.

The overall
aim of the
project -
including the
community
carnival and
parade - was to
help children
feel good about
both themselves
and their
community.

Still having fun

by Dick Townsend-Smith

IT was an afternoon of fun and
surprises when the country’s
oldest open-air nursery, the Rachel
McMillan Nursery School and
Children’s Centre, held its summer
garden party.

More than 200 people went along to
the nursery, on the Greenwich-Deptford
borders, including many former pupils,
who took along their own children.

Headteacher Theresa Lane said: “It

was lovely seeing them and how they
have grown up and were now with their
families. It was a really good event with
lots of visitors. All the staff ran stalls
for each class group, such as making ice-
cream and face-painting.”

The children were also able to clamber
over a visiting fire engine while wearing
fire helmets, as the firefighters handed
out fire precautions leaflets.

An exhibition of large photographs
showed the children holding something
they really liked, such as a flower, or with
a hand covered in mud.

They were taken by former pupil Rachel
Hale.

The event came in the nursery’s
centenary year. Founders Margaret
and Rachel McMillan established the
‘open air’ nursery in 1914 and are widely
regarded as influencing early years’
education across the world.

The sisters developed classrooms built
around a central outdoor play area to
ensure a healthy lifestyle - a design that
is still in use. Rachel McMillan died in
1917, and her sister named the nursery
after her.

JUST FOR COUPLES: two's company in The Lost Room

Room for two

THEATRE-goers are booking up to be on
stage at a special interactive installation
show for two people.

Pairs will go into The Lost Room wearing
wireless headphones to immerse themselves
in an audio environment with music, a
narrator and a series of tasks/challenges.

The show is the idea of Tristan Shorr
and Rachel Champion, from the Art
of Disappearing company which was
commissioned to run the performance by
Greenwich Theatre and Greenwich Dance.

The Lost Room will be at Greenwich Dance,
Borough Hall, Royal Hill, on July 24 and 25,
then at Greenwich Theatre on August 3 and 4.
"The Lost Room is about unlocking people's
imagination," said 39-year-old Rachel.

"There could be invitations to create images,
to crack codes, to move through the room in
different ways but always together. The aim
is for people to go away with new, shared
memories.

"The age range is 10-plus but it's not just for
young people. We've had people over 60
at tests and they've been great and really
got into it, allowing them to be like children
again."

Tristan, 37, composed the music for the show
and said: "Two people will go into the room
at booked times. If pairs don't come together

coastline, concealing shallow rocks and
treacherous sandbanks.

way out of danger or will you get lost in
the museum? Visit the National Maritime
Museum for an off-kilter evening to mark
the opening of Ships, Clocks and Stars and
Guiding Lights: 500 Years of Trinity House
and Safety at Sea. The Museum Late event an
evening of exciting activities in the Sammy

LOCAL people are invited
a R to a night out at the flicks

i when a pop up cinema
^ hosts a series of special
screenings this weekend.

The pioneers of outdoor cinema Pop
Up Screens are back this summer
beaming favourite films into London
parks with special screenings in
Greenwich.

The programme of movies started
earlier this month with a third round
of screenings in Blackheath this
weekend.

On show in the garden at Mycenae
House is Shaun of the Dead on Friday, .
July 25, followed by The Full Monty on
Saturday, July 26.

Screenings kick off around 8.30pm
and tickets can be purchased in
advance.

The summer programme also ends
in Greenwich over the weekend of
September 26 and 27 with screenings of ,
The Goonies and Forrest Gump at the
East Greenwich Pleasaunce.

As well as satisfying cravings for cult
classics, this year’s Pop Up Screens
are also serving up bespoke Pop Up
Burgers. There’s also a full stocked
bar and it wouldn’t be cinema without
popcorn.

Pop Up Screens founder David
Leydon explained the thinking is to
run popular movies while showcasing
the capital’s little-known green spaces.

“If you’ve never been to an outdoor
cinema, it’s a must try. It really is
the best way to watch a movie as
you’re in a park, with your friends
and hundreds of other people who
love a movie as much as you do. And
that real love for the movie creates a
special atmosphere you won’t find at
any multiplex.”

He added: “We wanted to give people
something different to do, there’s loads
of brilliant green spaces in London but
people are often guilty of not exploring
their local area.

“The East Greenwich Pleasaunce for
example is a brilliant little park and
this is a good way of getting people to
visit. But we’re also about also about
showing good movies and getting
people to watch them. They’re films

A five panel, nine metre long mural
originally made for the decoration of the
Nelson Bar aboard HMS 'Campania' is now
on show at the National Maritime Museum.
Working Boats from around the British
Coast by Alan Sorrell, is on display in the
Sammy Ofer Wing. The mural toured British
ports as a microcosm of the Festival of
Britain exhibition on London's South Bank
in 1951. Alan Sorrell's mural celebrates
the fishing communities along the coast

After dark
showcase for
local talent

201 2'S X Factor contestant Jade Ellis
(pictured) is the special guest at the launch of
a new monthly gig in Woolwich.

The singer, who lives locally, is a regular at
the Koffees & Kream diner in Calderwood
Street. And on Friday (July 25) she performs
at the launch of an event night called KK's
After Dark.

The event is scheduled for the last Friday
of the month and promises live music acts,
comedy and more from 7.30pm to midnight.
"It's a chance for local bands and entertainers
to come and put their name out there. We
want it to be something that people are
going to talk about and look forward to
on the last Friday of the month," said Raif
Hassan, owner of the eaterie which opened
three months ago. "We plan to have a variety
of different artistes and activities including
comedy and jazz nights," Raif added.

Along with the entertainment there'll
be a condensed version of the licenced
restaurant's extensive menu.

Entry is free through an invitation which can
be collected from the restaurant which also
hosts corporate events and celebrations.

Find out more on Twitter @kksafterdark or
KK'sAfterDark on Facebook and if you want
to perform call Gemma Mewse on 07935

of Britain in charming individual scenes,
separated by a decorative device of
ropes held aloft by seagulls. The mural
was selected by Sir Frederick Gibbert
(architect and planner of Harlow New
Town and closely involved with the
Festival of Britain) as a gift to Harlow. It
was displayed in the town's Moot Hall, but
eventually disappeared from view until
it was acquired by the National Maritime
Museum in 2014.

Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Choice Based Lettings Scheme

BIDDING FOR PROPERTIES

People on the Housing register are able to bid for all properties,
regardless of their banding. You must be eligible for the size of
property and bids will be considered in the following order:

First Band A, followed by Band B both in priority date order.

Those in Band C will then be considered in registration date order.

Please note that there will still be some properties with age
restrictions so only people of this age group can apply for these.

BAND

A is for applicants in unsatisfactory housing, including
people moving due to demolition and those
underoccupying their homes.

B is for applicants the Royal Borough of Greenwich
must prioritise according to the law, particularly
homeless people, and others with an urgent need
to move for medical or welfare reasons.

C is for all applicants on the housing register,

including those that are in priority bands A and B.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ROYAL
BOROUGH TENANTS WHO ARE MOVING

DONT GET A BILL AFTER YOU LEAVE

Under the conditions of your tenancy agreement, you have
a responsibility to leave your property in an acceptable state
of repair. We may visit you to check this. If we consider
your property is in an unacceptable condition, you may be
prevented from moving or be recharged for work.

To avoid getting an unwelcome bill,
follow these rules:

• Repair any damage caused to the property by you, your
family or visitors to your home.

• Make good any changes you have made to your property
e.g. put back any doors that you have removed.

• Make sure your garden is not overgrown and you have
cleared all garden waste.

• Clear all your items from the inside and the outside of the
property. This includes any loft space, external cupboards
or sheds.

• Return all the keys to the Royal Borough’s offices no later
than midday on Monday (or Tuesday if it is a Bank Holiday).
You will be charged a further week’s rent if you do not
return your keys on time.

If you leave repairs that are your responsibility, or items that
require disposal you will be charged the cost of this work.

Special Collection Service

The Royal Borough offers a Special Collection Service for
tenants who are moving and want to dispose of something
big and bulky, like a sofa or a fridge, and even unwanted
clothes and other textiles.

Simply contact Waste Services on 020 8921 4661 and tell
them where you live and what you would like taken away.

Items we will collect include:

Fridges, freezers, washing machines, beds, sofas, clothes and
carpets (carpets must be cut up and tied into manageable
bundles that one person can carry).

Items we DO NOT collect include:

Fitted kitchens, bathroom suites, boilers, sheds, fences
and rubble.

For further information, please contact Waste Services on

020 8921 4661.

Please leave your home in a good condition!

was made Bishop of Woolwich in 1959.

The highlight of the day was the school
unveiling a life-sized replica of the Bishop,
made of papier mache.

Pupils Oreofe, Chichi, Alexandra,
Oreoluwa and Hannah all aged 11 took
part in a short prayer session with the
Bishop to mark the grand opening of the
statue.

Additionally, each class participated
in a challenge in order to find out more
about their school’s identity.

They were able to ask questions such
as “Who was Bishop John Robinson?”
and “What do Bishops do?” which
left the children with a much broader
understanding than before.

Bishop Michael said: “I am particularly
impressed with the knowledge and
understanding that some of the Year 6
children showed.”

He also mentioned that the children
were some of the best behaved that he
had ever seen.

The aim was to use the Bishop’s visit to
inspire further learning around Christian
values within the school.

'Zoe's

RAISING THE BAR: Zoe Smith's training has gone well

competitor who Zoe will now be up
against while competing for Team
England.

Sam said Zoe has been lifting
bigger weights than ever in the
gym and her preparations have
been going much better than even
for the Europeans, or the domestic
championships, which were the other
key preparation events earlier this year.

“After the Europeans she picked up
a virus and and even though she won
bronze she had been struggling to
perform as she could.

“So for the British championships we
put her up a weight category so she didn’t
have to worry about making the lighter
weight. It has been a case of getting her
down to the weight again, but this has
been the most productive training she
has had since I’ve been coaching her.

“In terms of how she feels, it’s pre-
London 2012 levels.”

Sam will have to take a back seat and
merely watch from the seats in the arena
while Team England coaches work with
Zoe during the tournament.

But Sam believes his athlete is in good
hands. He said: “Her team coach is Andy
Callard, who coached her through to
the Olympics, so it is great she is with
someone she knows.

“It promises to be a fascinating contest,
as Michaela is undefeated by a fellow
Britain since 1997 and is the snatch record
holder for Great Britain, while Zoe holds
the clean and jerk record.”

ZOE Smith heads to Glasgow for the
Commonwealth Games in terrific
condition, says her coach.

Sam Dovey helped Zoe recover from a
back injury which threatened her future
in the sport after the Olympic Games in
London 2012.

But now he believes the 20-year-old, who
is an ambassador for Greenwich Starting
Blocks which supports promising
athletes, can achieve her aim of a medal
at the event in Scotland.

Zoe, 20, who grew up in Abbey Wood,
will compete in the under-58kg category
on Sunday afternoon (July 26).

She will be aiming to at least match
the bronze medal she won at the last
Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India,
four years ago.

Earlier this year, Zoe also became only
the second British competitor to win a
European Championship medal, taking
bronze.

The first was Michaela Breeze, a Welsh

Matthew’s Academy, Blackheath) ran
a first heat and semi-final to reach the
final of the under-15 100m, where she was
fourth in a season’s best 12.23 seconds.

She also then ran in the 4x100m relay for
the age-group, bringing home the baton
to clinch silver for the London quartet.

Noah Armitage-Hookes ran 4min
25.00sec in the under-15 1,500m heats,
while twin brother Alfie ran 2:10.62 in the
800 metres.

Bamiyo Oladipupo was ninth in the
under-15 triple jump with 11.95 metres.

In the under-17s girls 100m Shekinah
George-Lawal ran 12.74sec in his heat.

In the under-17 boys, Danielle Blake
had a great 200m heat, finishing third,
and was unlucky to miss out on the final,

Harriers' golden girls

Greenwich Starting Blocks athletes Sabrina Sinha and

)ivine Oladipo win national titles

by Ian Lamont

DIVINE Oladipo has shot to stardom
in her short time competing in
athletics - and now she has an English
Schools Athletics Championships
medal to inspire her further.

The 15-year-old, new this year to the
Greenwich Starting Blocks charity which
supports promising athletes, was joined
on the top of the podium by one of its
established stars - Sabrina Sinha, also
15.

Divine threw the shot put 14.92 metres
to win the under-17 girls’ category at the
event in Birmingham in a personal best.

Sabrina was pushed all the way to the
line when claiming the 1500 metres title,
the latest in a long line of successes this
season.

As a result, both Cambridge Harriers
athletes, who train at Sutcliffe Park,
earned places to compete in the home
nations under-17 international, held in
Cardiff last weekend.

Both were competing against athletes at
least a year older than themselves.

Sabrina, who has won a string of cross-
country and track titles this season, said:
“It’s been an amazing year. It’s really hard
to say what’s been the best, but I would
say the [English Schools] was one of them
because I know I gave everything.”

She needed to. The Blackheath resident
ran a personal best 4mins 9.52secs and

beat her nearest rival, Rosie Johnson, 16,
from Merseyside, by a matter of metres in
a sprint finish.

Sabrina added: “From about 250 metres
to go, we were neck and neck until 10
metres before the line.

“I knew, to make it a quick race, I had to
take it on from the start and make it as
fast as possible.”

Sabrina, competing for Kent Schools,
was delighted for Divine, who was
representing London Schools.

Divine, who attends St Ursula’s School,
Crooms Hill, threw a personal best and
cemented her place at the top of the UK
rankings for this year.

Divine said: “I went in with the mentality
to win and I think I just tried to stay as
calm as possible.

“I was leading for the first two throws,
but then I had two no throws and I won
with the sixth throw.”

Despite throwing a 3kg championship
record for the age-group, Divine is
ambitious to push herself to even higher
standards.

“I threw a personal best but I wanted
to throw 15 metres,” said Divine, who
believes it is within her ability, either at the
international, or national championships
at Bedford in mid- August.

A total of 11 Cambridge Harriers
competed. Godgift Nnadozie (St Ursula’s)
was sixth in the under-15 shot, an
impressive result in her first season of
