Convoys Wharf Exhibition

Having told us in July 2012 that they would be back in September, Hutchison Whampoa finally return tomorrow (Thursday 28 Feb 2013) and Saturday 2 Mar 2013 to tell us what they are proposing for the former Royal Dockyard site.


The rumour machine tells me that Lewisham, unlike some neighbouring boroughs, have realised that changes to business rates made by the coalition government mean they cannot afford to keep losing employment land to residential development. Whatever is on display in the coming days, I suspect a continuing stand off between landowner and local planning authority.

Herb Garden Happenings

Volunteers Day 10.00am - 2.00pm Sunday 26 August 2012.
Lol Coxhill Tribute  5.00 - 7.00pm Bank Holiday Monday 27 August 2012. 

Sunday
With the workshops complete, the garden will need a general tidy before the music events. Any extra hands are most welcome. Lots of stuff to do... a bit of weeding, a bit of moving things, brushing up, even hanging mosaics!
We don't expect people to be there the whole time, would just be nice to see you pop in and lend a helping hand for a mo!

Monday
A collaboration of musicians who performed alongside Lol in the Herb Garden over the last fertile decade.
There will be an interlude for the planting of a Mulberry tree as a tribute to Lol and the lasting memories he leaves behind.
Compered by Joe Bazouki.
