Herne Hill and SE24 residents

Information:
On 22 Feb the Government directed Southwark Council to modify its Unitary Development Plan so as to make Herne HiIl "urban" rather than "suburban". Thus the Government has supported the Mayor of London and over-ridden the wishes of Southwark Council and, we believe, the overwhelming majority of local opinion. Over time, the excessive residential densities associated with the urban zoning are likely to adversely affect the Dulwich area. All of the Southwark part of SE24 north of the railway line from North Dulwich to Tulse Hill would be "urban".

Request:
If any recipient of this message, or friend or neighbour, wishes to assist the local press in forthcoming reporting of this matter, by joining a group photograph of concerned local residents, please reply accordingly by e-mail to toby.eckersley@southwark.gov.uk, by 8pm tomorrow, Monday 5 March. Apologies for the short notice, but we have only just been advised of press deadlines. The photo will be taken on Tuesday 6 March, preferably during daylight hours, but I'm told that a later session might be possible. Would respondents, therefore, please indicate whether they could only be available in the evening. All respondents will be advised of time and place by e-mail late tomorrow evening.
