EditorialGet out there andcast your vote intoday’s elections!

TODAY YOU can vote on thefuture direction of the cityyou live in - so please make

sure you get out there and cast yourvote!We always appeal to our readers tomake the effort to take part in thedemocratic process, as everyone isaffected by politics - and with theLondon Mayoral and GLA elections,your vote is arguably even moreeffective.With the first-past-the-post system ingeneral elections, your vote, while stillimportant, is only for a Parliamentaryconstituency, and if enough of those aretotted up by one party, they become thegovernment. So your actual votingimpact is fairly oblique - not to mentionthat you’re voting for a party, ratherthan a person.With today’s elections, you can putyour cross next to the mayoralcandidate whom you think will bestlead the capital forward for the nextfour years, along with your secondfavourite. Simply put, if enough peoplevote for a candidate, they become thenext Mayor - so your vote, and everyvote, counts.You’ll also be voting for your GLAmember, as well as for the party thatcontrols the GLA, and again it’simportant that you vote for thisrepresentative. The Mayor of London isgiven huge powers by the electorate -so it makes sense that as they’re votedin, you’re also deciding who willscrutinise their decisions and hold themto account. They can also petition theMayor on behalf of your GLAconstituency - in our case Southwark &Lambeth.So it’s clear that your vote counts -and the only reason remaining as towhy you wouldn’t take part in today’selections is because you simply can’t bebothered.Of course, if you’re unaffected by thecity’s housing crisis, if trafficcongestion and pollution doesn’t impacton your daily life, if crime in your areadoesn’t concern you, or the make-up ofyour local high street not interest you -along with one hundred other issues -then you’re probably right not to castyour vote.Chances are though, that there isn’t aLondoner among us who won’t beaffected one way or the other by thenew Mayor we vote in today.If you haven’t already done yourresearch, you can read our interviewswith all the Mayoral candidates onpages 17-20 in this week’s News. Youcan also find our interviews with GLAcandidates from last week’s issue onlineat: www.southwarknews.co.ukSee you at the ballot box!

MP Neil said: “I’m super-pleased thatBermondsey Best is the guest beer in theStrangers Bar in the House of Commons. “I asked for Southwark Brewing tohave this fine brew in the Commons lastyear and it’s great to showcase thisfantastic product in such a unique place.”

A YOUNG Bermondsey fathersuffering from cancer is trying toraise money for his daughter andcomplete his bucket list after beinggiven just months to live. Jack Wells, 23, was diagnosed withEwing’s sarcoma, a rare bone disease,in March 2015 after he noticed a lumpon his shoulder. Now his illness has progressed to itsfinal stages after receivingchemotherapy and radiotherapy fromUniversity College HospitalMacmillan Cancer Centre.Jack said: “The chemotherapy hasstopped as there’s not much point incarrying on with it. I now just get onwith life every day as there’s not muchelse you can do.“It would be great to go to Florida fora memorable trip with my daughterand tick off a few things on my bucketlist but the insurance costs are quitehigh.”The News previously reported thatJack was trying to raise money for atrip to Florida in the USA with histhree-year-old daughter, Scarlett. But as the cost of insuring the triprose, efforts are now being turned to

creating a fund for Scarlett for whenshe’s older and to fulfil some life-longdreams. Things to do on Jack’s bucket listinclude seeing the northern lights,swimming with dolphins, seeing tigercubs and driving a sports car. His wish of riding a hot air balloonwill come true on May 31 inMaidstone, Kent after his uncle helpedorganise it. Veronica Carter, Jack’s mum, said:“Jack is coping but he is in pain. He’snow receiving painkillers from Guy’sHospital and we’ve decided he won’tgo to a hospice. “Now is the time for makingmemories. We want to take him awayeven for a week as a family holidayand to spend some quality time withhim. We would go wherever he wants.“Jack is admired for his bravery andalways manages to bring laughter andsmiles wherever he goes. The staff atthe hospital are very fond of him.”The primary tumour was in Jack’sright shoulder blade but has sincespread to other bones such as his spineand pelvis and also his lungs. The money raised through their GoFund Me page will be put towardsScarlett’s education and helping her todo the things she wants without

financial limitations.

AN MP has called on King’sCollege Hospital bosses to disclosewhat happened to £6.5m theyreceived in 2008, after MaudsleyHospital’s mental-health A&Eclosed down.Dulwich and West Norwood MP,Helen Hays (pictured), has lent hervoice to the Southwark Pensioners’Action Group (SPAG), who are drivento see the mental health ward atMaudsley reinstated.SPAG member Tom White says hismany meetings with doctors and healthprofessionals at King’s have consistentlyindicated the hospital struggles to copewith its volume of mental-healthpatients.“SPAG is lobbying for the A&E to re-open as soon as possible,” Tom said.“The A&E at King’s College Hospitalis not the right place for mental healthsufferers to be treated when they are incrisis. The Care Quality Commissionclearly states that mental-health sufferersmust be treated in the right environment.A busy A&E such as King’s doesn’t fitthis category.”Ms Hays has now turned her attentionto a question also raised by SPAG, ofwhat became of a £6.5m grant King’sCollege Hospital NHS Foundation Trustwas awarded to help it facilitate theinflux of mental-health patients sinceMaudsley A&E was closed.“[The funding] was given on thepremise of new facilities being openedat King’s A&E for those suffering amental health crisis and needing a placeof safety,” Ms Hays said.“What became of that money? Was itactually allocated? What was it spent on

and why? “There is also the absolute need foradded emergency mental-health relief.King’s is one of the biggest mental-health units in the country, and inLambeth we have the highest instancesof people who suffer a mental-healthcrisis.“I have written to the ministerresponsible for mental health and I havemet doctors at King’s A&E and with theCEO of the South London andMaudsley Trust. I want to get to thebottom of why the emergency roomwasn’t opened and I want to lobby thegovernment to get it opened.”A spokesperson for King’s CollegeHospital NHS Foundation Trust said:“We are sorry that the redevelopment ofour Emergency Department (ED) hastaken longer than expected. “The bulk of the funding allocated tothe project has been spent on completingthe external building works, as well asreconfiguring the inside of the ED tobetter cater for the patients we treat. Thisincludes for mental-health patients. “We will complete the improvementworks, but it may take time. One of thekey reasons for the delay is the fact thatwe have to keep the ED running 24hours a day, all year round. We now seeover 450 patients a day, which makescompleting even minor improvementworks to the department a majorlogistical and practical challenge. “We continue to have protocols inplace to support mental-health patientswho attend the ED. For example, wehave a dedicated SLaM psychiatric-liaison team in the department 24/7, aswell as a dedicated assessment room formental-health patients. We are confidentthe improvement works, once finished,will improve even further the care weprovide to this specific group of patients,as well as others presenting to the ED.”

CAR FIRM STAGES ROAD BLOCK

A CAR company near the OldKent Road staged an anti-TfLdemonstration on Tuesday inprotest of proposed double redlines being put down outsidetheir business.

Kent Carriage Company displayedbanners and was joined by over 35people holding placards andchanting as they blocked PomeroyStreet for fifteen minutes with threeof their cars. The company’s owners believethat if TfL puts down the double redlines it will drive business away. Paul Houston, the owner, said:

"This protest is about the messagegoing back to TfL that theconsultation has already beendecided and that it is not right. Theyjust need to listen to us. "To see everyone here feels likewe are finally getting our pointacross. It's feels good. It has beenvery stressful and we don't need it. "It is great to be joined by our

family and people from localbusinesses." The short protest attracted muchattention as a long line of cars upthe Old Kent Road quickly formedwith the sounds of horns filling theair. TfL have said that they are yet tobegin the consultation period for theproposed double red lines and that

they are for the smooth running ofthe junction. Nigel Hardy, Head ofSponsorship and Surface Transportat TfL, said: "No decision has beenmade on proposed changes at thisjunction. We've been engaging withKent Carriage Company for sometime and we will hold a consultationinto proposed safety improvementslater this year."

A LONG-serving LiberalDemocrat councillor hasannounced she is stepping downafter fourteen years serving theSurrey Docks ward, triggering aby-election on June 9.Lisa Rajan has said caring for heryoung family, her full-timeemployment and her husband’s jobmoving to Manchester has meantgiving the community thecommitment it deserves moredifficult. She said: “It is with huge sadnessthat I am standing down as one ofthe Liberal Democrat councillorsfor Surrey Docks. “For fourteen years I have had thegreatest privilege of representing anincredible community and helpingwin the fights for the new CanadaWater Library and the C10 busroute.“Being a councillor needs serious

commitment though and I'm verysorry that changes in my personallife mean that I can no longer serveresidents the way Liberal Democratcouncillors believe we shouldalways do.“Fourteen years after first beingelected, there are still huge issues inSurrey Docks. Most importantly,we need to make the council'sregeneration process happen 'with'residents and not 'to' them.

“We also need properinfrastructure in place - GPs,schools and transport - beforefurther huge development takesplace at Canada Water.“I really want to thank residentsfor their support over the years andhope they will continue to back theLiberal Democrats as the bestchoice to fight residents’ corner inSurrey Docks.”Two years ago Lisa ran theLondon Marathon dressed asWonder Woman to raise funds forthe Rotherhithe Time and Talentscommunity centre. This will be the third council by-election this year after MPs NeilCoyle and MP Helen Hayesannounced they were to stand downfrom their councillor roles in theNewington and College wards.The by-elections for both seats aretoday, Thursday, May 5.See who is standing in theNewington and College ward by-elections on p10.

PRIMARY SCHOOL pupilsacross Southwark joinedprotestors around the country bystaging a ‘kids’ strike’ onTuesday, against newgovernment-imposed Sats exams.Parents and ten-to-eleven-year-oldsfrom Ivydale School in Nunhead, andFairlawn School near Dulwich, tookpart in the walk-out, led by the Letthe Kids Be Kids campaign.Steve Rose, a parent of threechildren among the 140 to missschool from Ivydale, told the News:“It’s reached a point where six-and-seven-year-olds are expected to learnwhat a subordinating conjunction is– something that would be lost on thevast majority of parents.“To me it reflects an incrediblynarrow curriculum, and to manyparents it comes at the expense ofbetter, more joyful learning.“With [secretary of state foreducation] Nick Morgan’s policy formaking all schools into academies,its looks even more like education isbeing taken out parents’ and councils’hands.“There are scores of angry andconcerned parents who can’t standthat this style of testing is happeningbut can’t think what to do about it. Sowe held an alternative "fun day oflearning" at the Horniman Museumon [Tuesday] morning.”Similar events were also heldaround the country and an onlinepetition had gained 47,000 signaturesby Wednesday, calling for teachers toboycott Sats exams. The petition, created by the Let theKids Be Kids group, said children are

“over-tested, over-worked and in aschool system that places moreimportance on test results and leaguetables than children’s happiness andjoy of learning”.Deputy head teach of IvydalePrimary School, Helen Ingham, toldthe News: “While the school issympathetic with the views of parentsabout the government’s educationreforms and we understand whysome parents have decided to takethis action, we have made it clear to

all parents that school is open asusual on Tuesday. “Children who are absent fromschool as a result of this action willbe recorded as having anunauthorised absence.”Steve, a writer for The Guardian,added: “It was short notice, and theidea spread around the country quitequickly. “In the end only one parent fromour school said they are not in favour,and many couldn’t take part because

they couldn’t get off work. But wehad another 200 letters of supportfrom those parents who couldn’t takepart.”In defence of the exams, due tocontinue next week, educationSecretary Nicky Morgan said: “Tothose who say we should let ourchildren be creative, imaginative, andhappy – of course I agree, both as aparent and as the EducationSecretary. “But I would ask them this – how

creative can a child be if they struggleto understand the words on the pagein front of them – they certainly can’tenjoy them? What are the limitsplaced on a child’s imagination,when they cannot write down theirideas for others to read?“That is why the campaign beingled by some of those who do notthink we should set highexpectations, who want to ‘keep theirchildren home for a day’ next week,is so damaging.”

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL’SNewington and College ward seatsare up for grabs this week as thecouncil by-election takes place onMay 5, at the same time as themayoral and London Assemblyelections. The two by-elections were triggered asformer councillors turned LabourMembers of Parliament Neil Coyle andHelen Hayes stepped down earlier thisyear.

old way of politics where I serve mycommunity and the people who electedme."Among the parties campaigning isSouthwark's own All People's Partywhich was founded in the borough in2014.

STRIKING JUNIOR doctorsfrom King’s College Hospitaldonated food and money given tothem on the picket line to aPeckham foodbank last week. The doctors undertook industrialaction on Tuesday and Wednesday lastweek in the ongoing contracts disputewith the government. But the medics, who received plentyof biscuits and other snacks duringtheir time on the picket line, opted todonate their haul to SouthwarkFoodbank, part of Pecan. Felicia Boshorin, the foodbank’sproject manager, said: “They got intouch and donated food and peoplestarted giving money and that’s how itcame about.“It was really humbling to think thatwhile they were going through theirown struggles they were thinking ofthe needs of others.”Southwark Foodbank has beenrunning for six years and last yearserved around 4,000 food parcels toresidents in need of their services. They are run mainly by volunteers,with only two paid members of staff

within the organisation who are basedin Peckham, with those in needreferred by frontline services.Dr Lucy Carter, 32, who organisedthe donation, knew about the

foodbank and wanted to support itswork. She said: “It was about doingsomething positive for the community,for people who need us when weweren’t working. The junior doctors

got behind it and it was heart-warming.”Dr Carter, and her colleagues PatrickEarls and Louise Wade donatedaround five crates of food and over

£300 in funds to the charity. Last week’s action was the first in astring of strikes in which juniordoctors also pulled out of providingemergency care in A&E.

LEGAL ACTION has beendropped against the notoriousKingdom Church in Camberwell,which previously faced fines fromthe council for its noisy mid-nightsermons.The church and its leader, BishopClimate Irungu Wiseman (pictured), hadbeen fined £7,500 after SouthwarkCouncil received more than 100 noisecomplaints in response to its varioussermons, including a weekly 3amhealing ceremony.But in a “miracle” turnaround, the judgeat the Inner London Crown Courthearing on Friday upheld the church’sappeal against the fine.Bishop Climate previously told the

News that, in response to fines madeunder the Environmental Protection Act1980, the council and critics of the churchwould “feel the fire of God”.After the hearing on Friday, BishopClimate said: “We couldn’t believe theoutcome, as a spiritual man, I believe itwas the hand of God. He did intervene.After having our monthly Fire Servicelast month I knew God was going toperform an extraordinary miracle.”“We admit we made noise, but we wereappealing against the size of the fine, andthe judge has found in favour. He hasquashed the whole thing. We want to live

in peace with our neighbours. Peoplehave the right to complain, but some ofthe things the council said about ourchurch were not true.”Bishop Climate claims to overseehundreds of churches across the globeincluding The Kingdom Church inCamberwell Station Road. He also said thatnews of the fines had spread worldwide,with people even coming up to him in thestreet during a recent visit to Africa.A Southwark Council spokeswomanconfirmed the conviction was upheld,and the sentence amended after theBishop presented evidence suggesting hewas unable to pay the fine. The church’slicensing review, undertaken by thecouncil, has also been adjourned.

A GRASSROOTS cancer charity,The MumMum Foundation, iscelebrating being officially given itscharitable status - by giving aBermondsey woman battling thedisease a night at a West Endmusical.

Camberwell man Gary Valentine Fullerset up the charity in memory of his lategrandma, Carol Rogers, whom he hisfamily and “everyone she knew” used tocall MumMum.The 25-year-old said: “MumMumpassed away in November 2013. Iabsolutely worshiped her. She was myworld.“She had cancer for five years and it gotthe better of her. I know losing a loved onecan be such a traumatic time that I decidedI wanted to help other families.“I’m an undertaker by trade, so I’m usedto dealing with bereavement, but we setthe charity up partly as a copingmechanism. Doing good things for other

people can really be a powerful way ofhelping you through.”They took the decision to create TheMumMum Foundation on the one-yearanniversary of Carol’s death, and to carryon her legacy of dedication to charitywork.Gary has said their donation will be tosupport the family of 24-year-old TillyBrowne, who has been diagnosed withincurable breast cancer.Tilly’s chronic relationship with thedisease is caused by her suffering from Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, an extremely raregenetic disease that makes carriers proneto developing cancer.

Gary said: “We’re going to pay for Tillyand her family to go and see Motown theMusical at prime time on Saturday night,and have dinner out wherever she likes.“Tilly’s fighting spirit has beeninspirational and we would also like tosupport her throughout her treatment.“With cases like Tilly we want to put asmile on her face and show her peoplereally care about her.”“We also want to thank everyone fortheir support in the last year whosupported out charity.The Mum Mum Foundation will alsohold a fundraiser at the Nag’s Head pub inCamberwell on June 18.

Another fundraising event for Tilly willtake place at the Lightbox in LambethPlace on Saturday, with a house musicclub night starting at 10pm.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD Ethan Rigby isone of the first youngsters to benefitfrom a new service that helpschildren with short-term illnessesget expert nursing care at homerather than in hospital.The Evelina London Children'sHospital @home team helps children gethome from hospital quicker and, in somecases, means they don’t have to comeinto hospital at all. The service runs from8am to 10pm, seven days a week.Ethan’s mum, Megan Rigby, says:“Ethan was diagnosed with eczemawhen he was six weeks old."His skin gets very itchy so he’ll bite itand rub it against rough surfaces, like theedge of the table or carpet, to scratch it.When the skin breaks, it makes Ethanprone to infections.”Ethan was admitted to hospital inFebruary with cellulitis, a skin infectionthat can lead to septicaemia, a potentiallylife-threatening blood infection. He wasgiven antibiotics through an intravenousdrip and stayed in hospital for two days.Megan says: “The doctors said Ethancould stay in hospital or be helped to get

better by the @home team. EvelinaLondon is not just round the corner forme and I knew it would be better forEthan to have his things around him andstill be able to go to school.“The @home team came out to check

his progress and make sure his hand washealing properly. I was given lots of helpand advice including a refresher courseon using a special tape with steroids. Ithelps the skin to heal when the eczemagets very bad.“I think this is a brilliant service which

saves a lot of time, money and stress,and it feels personalised to you. Ethanwould have been taking up a hospitalbed which could have been used by achild who really needed it. Now I havethe @home team’s telephone numberand I know I can call them anytime foradvice.”The service, which has seen more than80 children since February, is beingpiloted for 18 months and is available tochildren living in or registered with a GPin Southwark and Lambeth. Currentlyreferrals are made by the Trust’s hospitalconsultants.

THE FAMILY of a patient whoreceived lifesaving intensive carehave raised £23,000 for Guy’s andSt Thomas’. Simon Dredge was so seriously injuredin a power boat accident in May 2015that at first doctors thought it wasunlikely he would survive. However, hewas brought to the Intensive Care Unit atSt Thomas’ Hospital where an ECMO(extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)machine was used to support his heartand lungs. ECMO removes blood from the body,artificially pumping out carbon dioxideand replacing oxygen. It is used inintensive care medicine to help patientswho are unable to breathe forthemselves. Simon’s family were so inspired by the

treatment he received that theyorganised a hugely successfulfundraising dinner to raise money for thehospital. Simon and his family recentlyreturned to the Intensive Care Unit tothank the staff. Simon, 18, says: “I was lucky tosurvive the accident and then to receivesuch first-class care at St Thomas' - I'llalways be grateful."

PATIENTS AND visitors toGuy’s Hospital may be affectedby closures of Tooley Streetuntil February 2018. Theclosures will allow theThameslink Programme tocontinue planned improvementworks at London Bridgestation. Tooley Street is nowclosed to eastbound traffic until

February 2018. This will affectseveral bus routes (47, 343, 381,N381, N199 and RV1) and peopleplanning to drive to Guy’s. Trafficwill be diverted via Borough HighStreet, Great Dover Street andTower Bridge Road. More information is available

Southwark News, Thursday May 5, 2016 www.southwarknews.co.uk MAYORAL ELECTION 17

It’s accepted Affordable Housing isn’taffordable. Will you change the definitionto make it affordable?

My definition of affordable is different to theTories’ which includes starter-homes costing upto £450,000 – how that is ‘affordable’ to mostpeople I don’t know. My definition ofaffordable is one of three things – available ata social rent, available at a London Living Rentwhich is one third of average local earnings, orpart-buy part-rent. With me as Mayor 50 percent of the new homes built across London willhave to meet this definition.

How are you going to tackle knife crime?

I have a ten-point plan to tackle violent crime.The plan includes restoring real neighbourhoodpolicing which has been devastated by Torycuts, better prevention programmes, engagingwith young people in schools and in thecommunity to stop them joining gangs, arequirement for hospitals to report knifeinjuries, and pushing for more powers to ensuretough community payback on top of theirsentencing for those caught carrying a knife.

Will you look at removing the Elephantand Castle roundabout?

I think with a lot of big schemes it often takesa while to let them bed down, so it’s importantwe give it a bit of time. But, of course, if it is

proven that things have got more dangerousI’ll look again. One of the things I’ll do is havean urgent review of the most dangerousjunctions across the city, identifying dangerousintersections and getting on with the job ofmaking them safer.

Should the Bakerloo Line extension go toCamberwell?

Areas like Southwark and Lewisham havebeen disadvantaged by not being part of thetube network. When deciding on a final routeTfL should take into account which area canmost benefit, what additional housing can bedeveloped as a result of the link, what the costswill be and what the business benefits will be,as well as the opinions of local residents. Butrest assured, I’m 100 per cent behindextending the Bakerloo line into south eastLondon.

What can the mayor do to helpreinvigorate our high streets?

It’s important we protect the character of ourhigh streets. Rising land values in London arecausing real pressure on many high streets andwe are losing a lot of smaller retailers. I don’twant London’s shopping areas to all look thesame, that’s why I’ll be tougher in using theMayor’s planning powers to protect London’ssmaller shops and markets which contribute tosome of the city’s best shopping areas.

22001166 LLOONNDDOONN MMAAYYOORRAALL EELLEECCTTIIOONNSS

IT’S ACCEPTED Affordable Housingisn’t affordable. Will you change thedefinition to make it affordable?

Affordable housing policy is one thatenables mixed community. I'd back starterhomes, shared ownership, the London Help toBuy and social housing. It's about making sure that when you buildnew homes on publicly owned land that thosehomes aren't sold off as investments so theyhave to be sold to Londoners. I'd make that a rule for homes built onmayoral controlled land.

How are you going to tackle knife crime?

We need greater use of intelligence-led stopand search. We've gone too far in the wrongdirection and people walk around carryingweapons with impunity. I'll continue to make the case for devolutionof youth justice funding so we could be moreimaginative. It costs £60,000 a year to lock upa young person and it costs a fraction of thatto invest in preventing them getting intotrouble.


I've already spoken to councillors andsupporters in the area about the Elephant andCastle problem and I made a commitment to

review it.

Should the Bakerloo Line extension go toCamberwell?

I'm committed to making the extensionhappen and to deliver as much it as I can. Iwill work with authorities, councillors andcommunities to make sure all these extensionsare actually regeneration projects to helpareas that need regeneration the most.I don't want to make the commitment toCamberwell now because there are so manyprojects that I need to go through.


I found a £20m underspend in the budgetwhich I'm going to put towards helping HighStreets throughout London. We haven'tidentified all the areas that are going to behelped but it will be spent by the local BIDs. The big opportunity we're going to havesoon is devolution of business rates whichwill allow the next mayor working withbusiness minded authorities to tip the balancein favour of small and medium sizedbusinesses, start ups and high streets. I'd like the budget to be bigger but I'm notcommitting to spending money that I'm notconvinced we have. And there will be plentyof savings that we could find by taking aruthless approach to inefficiencies in TfL.

SADIQ KHAN - LABOUR ZAC GOLDSMITH - CONSERVATIVE

As well as voting for LondonAssembly members onThursday, voters will also choose

the next Mayor of London. With Conservative incumbent BorisJohnson vacating the position after eightyears, twelve candidates from a variety ofparties are up for the role. This will be the third mayor to run City Hallsince the position was created in 2000, withLabour Ken Livingstone being the first. Voters will be given a pink ballot paper onMay 5 with the option of selected two of theirpreferred candidates.

Different to General Elections, the LondonMayor election uses a proportionalrepresentation voting system called thesupplementary vote. This involves putting an X in column A foryour first choice and an X in column B foryour second. This does not reduce the chancesof your first choice being successful but ratherensures all votes matter as they are counted. TheNews has interviewed or profiled all thecandidates for Mayor to help readers choosetheir favourite candidates. Interviews by Owen Sheppard andAlex Yeates.

LONDON MAYOR: WHOWILL GET YOUR VOTE?

18 MAYORAL ELECTION www.southwarknews.co.uk Southwark News, Thursday May 5, 2016

IT’S ACCEPTED Affordable Housingisn’t affordable. Will you change thedefinition to make it affordable?

I want to change the definition of affordablehousing from the current 80 per cent ofmarket rate measurement the Conservativesuse – it just isn’t affordable. We need to betalking much more about social housing,which is 30 per cent. My plan is to raise £2bnfor new housing while keeping council tax atlast year’s rates, and using the tax revenue toborrow more money against it.

How are you going to tackle knifecrime?

The police have got to invest inpreventative work. I also want to see morework done in A&E departments wherevictims can talk with youth workers abouttheir experience, so we can get betterevidence and help steer them away fromknife crime in future. It’s a scheme that I have already seen inKing’s College Hospital, run by a charitycalled Red Thread, and Oasis at St Thomas’sHospital. This idea should be rolled outacross London.


I’m in favour of doing something that can

make cycling in London safer. But I have tosay I find the Elephant and Castle veryconfusing as a cyclist, pedestrian or when Ihave been through on the bus. I understandthat people worry it’s not safe. We have alsoseen two fatalities there. But we need to seehow it settles down.

Should the Bakerloo Line extension goto Camberwell? I have long campaigned for more than onestation to be added to the Bakerlooextension. I like the two-loop suggestion:one going down Camberwell Road and onegoing down Old Kent Road. Otherwise anew Thameslink Station could be revived atthe old Camberwell Railway Station.


I had not picked up that they [Co-Op andSantander] were leaving the Blue. It’s ashame. I spent a lot of time campaigningthere. I would continue the fund that councilscan bid for from the mayor to invest in theirhigh streets and town centres. We are seeingtowns move more towards a model whereattractions are bringing people in. Also, it’sreally important we do invest in ourhighstreets, and makes them more accessiblewith more cycling-parking and by makingthem more pedestrian friendly, whatever wecan do to attract people to shop there.


AFFORDABLE HOUSING isn’taffordable. Will you change thedefinition to make it affordable?

Working with the big developers on bigschemes and trying to persuade them todeliver us affordable housing doesn't work. We need to work outside that system. We need to use the public land, work withcooperatives and people who want to set upcommunity land trusts.


The right thing to do is peninsular-isation,which is taking a roundabout and joining upone end. We're doing the same thing inArchway. These big roundabouts are bad butgetting the details right is always importantand difficult.

Should the Bakerloo Line extension goto Camberwell?

We need to re-open the station on the[overground] line as well which goes northto Elephant. We need something to fill in thatgap and what I've said I will do in terms ofraising money for that is the workplaceparking levy. There are lots of people drivinginto London and if we put a levy on theparking spaces they use we can raise a bit ofmoney.


I want a Town Centre Fund that can be usedby BIDS and local communities. I'd get itfrom a levy on the big supermarkets.It would be places that have very large floorspace that pay an extra levy on businessrights to go into funds that the town centrescan use.

How are you going to tackle knifecrime?

I would get more community officers on thestreets and re-prioritising what the policedoes. I would work with communities aroundLondon to understand what the police needto do. We've got a problem with young peopleliving in overcrowded homes, not reallybeing able to socialiseWe have a duty in London to young peoplefor them to have things to do that areconstructive after school and in the eveningsand so youth services need to be funded.I would do this by increasing the council taxprecept that goes towards the police by howmuch you can which is 2 per cent.I would also get the police to be morerepresentative of Londoners. I will make surewe have a gender balanced police force andone that is actually 40 per cent from London'sethnic minorities.

“We can take money out of the pockets ofcriminal gangs and instead raise tax oncannabis to invest in London’s infrastructure,the NHS, housing, and public health. “The world’s attitude to cannabis ischanging while London is being left behind.A vote for me is a vote for a progressive, pro-cannabis London.”Lee’s party centres around opposition to theWar on Drugs and believes that prohibition isalways doomed to failure.If elected Mayor Lee will work to changethe public’s perception of cannabis and itslegal status. The Cannabis is Safer ThanAlcohol party was launched in Febuary lastyear and contested the 2015 General Electioncampaigning for a Royal Commission toreview the UK’s drug laws.

LEE HARRIS - CANNABIS IS SAFER THAN ALCOHOL

ANKIT LOVE is a musician, filmmaker andleader of the One Love Party who is enteringpolitics to fight for the causes he feels stronglyabout. He wants art, culture and science toflourish and to cut down on pollution.

On Housing I want to build a million homes using designersocial housing which is essentially flat-packskyscrapers. If China can build a 30-storey buildingin fifteen days then so can we. I would get loans from the banks and build themall as social housing through a London Authoritybuilding company.

On the Elephant roundabout I don’t know about this case specifically but I doknow that traffic and congestion is a big problem inLondon.

I want London to be the first major city in theworld to have driverless cars on an everyday basis. If I’m Mayor I will build six new bridges in eastLondon beyond Tower Bridge to help the cause ofSouthwark and the connectivity of the area ingeneral. Tackling air pollution is also reallyimportant to me. This crisis is taking the lives ofthousands of people and costing the Europeaneconomy £1tn a year.To solve this I will adopt electric and hydrogenpowered buses.

Other policies I would introduce connection to the internetthrough a thing called Li-Fi where an internetconnection is transmitted on the light spectrum viaLED light bulbs 100 times faster than WiFi. I’d also legalise cannabis to cut crime throughcontrolling it. Otherwise the trade just funds it.

ANKIT LOVE - ONE LOVE PARTY PRINCE JOHN Zylinski is a Polisharistocrat from old Russian nobility bornin London in 1951. He is the owner of thefamous grand White House in Ealing andis an independent candidate for LondonMayor.

On Housing It’s a matter of supply and demand and we’vebeen starved of supply. I’ve been a builder allmy life and I know how to deliver genuinelyaffordable housing. I want to build a millionhomes. We need to cut the red tape, allow builders tobuild and then sales will stabilise.As mayor I would provide a 5 per centmayoral mortgage guarantee to top up thenational Help to Buy scheme to enable everyLondoner to buy a home.

On the Elephant roundaboutThe answer to traffic problems is to alterthings on a micro level and locally. Justmoving something a few feet can ripple to helpout on a larger scale. We need site specificanswers.

Other policies I want to plant a million trees in London tohelp it become the greenest city on the planetas well as cut the bus and tube fares by half tomake travel more affordable for all. In recognition of the polish community inLondon I will also build a monument to thePolish airmen who fought in the Second WorldWar on Hyde Park Corner. I also think it is important to fight for moremoney for arts and cultural exchanges thatreflect the diverse population of this great city.

PRINCE JOHN ZYLINSKI - INDEPENDENT

GEORGE GALLOWAY is the leader of theRespect Party and former Member ofParliament for Bradford West. He was bornin Dundee, Scotland in 1954.

On Housing The mayor has limited powers but they have tobe used ruthlessly. Two things that I can do and Iwill is require private developers to provideaffordable housing and make 50% of housingaffordable.I will also crackdown on the massive amount ofhousing that is not lived in and which is just used assafety deposit boxes.

On the Elephant roundabout It is a monstrosity. It is not an elephant it issomething so grotesque that only TfL could have

given birth to it. If I’m elected mayor I’m going toabolish TfL as it is unfit for purpose and replace itwith a fit for purpose authority of a very differentmake-up and Elephant and Castle is one of thethings that I will bring up.

Other policies When it comes to knife crime I want to bring upthe crisis of fatherless children being involved incrime and help them. I also want to make big changes to the police.They have to start looking like London and theyhave to stop looking and feeling like an occupationforce. I was in a gang when I was younger only becausethere was nothing else to do other than go to thestreet corner. Youth services is often the first thingto be cut and it should be the last.

20 MAYORAL ELECTION www.southwarknews.co.uk Southwark News, Thursday May 5, 2016


DAVID FURNESS - THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY (BNP)

On housing: Make all state benefits, housing andassistance available only to British citizens;house London’s 3,000 homeless veterans.

On crime: Implement a radical reversal of the legal andpolicing focus on the “rights” of criminalsand its replacement with the traditional focuson putting the victims of crime first. Greateruse of National Service for habitualoffenders; the restoration of Capital

Punishment for paedophiles, terrorists andmurderers. Make prisons a place of hardlabour rather than cosy holiday camps;Introduce the use of “chain gangs” toprovide labour for national public works.Free the police from politically-correctrestrictions and unnecessary bureaucracy.Implement new laws guaranteeing citizensthe right to protect their own homes.Information obtained from BritainFirst.organd the party’s campaigning material, asPaul was unavailable for interview.

PAUL GOLDING - BRITAIN FIRST

On housing: Social housing should be prioritised for peoplewho have lived in an area for more than five years. To find space to build new homes I recommendsetting up a London-wide register of brown fieldsites. There are huge amounts of areas we can use,and we should incentive developers to build onthem. A key part of UKIP’s message is the increase indemand from immigration outstripping supply,which is greatly down to our membership with theEuropean Union. Our party is not anti-immigration,but we need to control it to stop this growth indemand.

On crime: We support the use of stop-and-search because itdoes work and it saves lives. But it needs to beintelligence-led, it can’t be indiscriminate andarbitrary. It needs local policing with officers beingkept in the same areas, not moved around. We also

need commissioning powers to be devolved toborough commanders with local knowledge.

On congestion: Something people will find hard to believe is thatone in ten cars on the road are private hire vehicles.This colossal increase is leading to the possibleextinction of the black cab trade, as well as addingto congestion. We would freeze all new licensingof private hire vehicles and or double theircongestion charges.

On the Bakerloo Line: Having grown up in south London I can tell youwhat it’s like to have hardly known what it was liketo use the Tube. It would be great if it could go to theOld Kent Road and New Cross. On saving our high streets: A scheme like 30-minute free parking through the week and free atthe weekend for longer periods would incentivepeople to come back to their shopping centres.

PETER WHITTLE - UKIP

What the party stands for: Women are often treated as a special interest groupand not realised as half the population. We’re black,disabled and LGBT and we all deserve equalopportunity and equal pay. We are the only partyoffering joint membership with other parties. We areusing the same methods UKIP used to put the EUreferendum to the top of people’s agendas, and thesame tactics the Greens use to get everyone talkingabout the environment.

On housing: The pay gap between men and women is 23 percent and women are twice as likely to spend morethan half their wage on rent. Our party wants fundingto be ring-fenced for women and children fleeingdomestic abuse, of which there were 100,000incidents reported last year. Too many refuge centresare closing due to lack of funding

On crime: There were 3,000 stabbings last year, but there werefive times more incidents of rape. If we start takingrape seriously and have a diverse police force that’sbetter trained, we will be better able to tackle this.

On transport:TfL has got to get better at collaborating with

communities when consultations happen. Most of allwe need to get back to basics with making buses andthe underground more accessible to the elderly,people who are disabled, and parents with pushchairs. Any new Bakerloo Line stations should beaccessible to all.

On technology: We need to invest in tech skills for schools forchildren and teach coding. We also need to do moreto make education of computer skills more widelyavailable to the public to make more peopleemployable, and to increase diversity in employment.

SOPHIE WALKER - WOMEN'S EQUALITY PARTY

On housing: We want to build high-quality housing on brownfield sites. There’s a lot of horded land and some sortof land tax should be used to make sure brown fieldsites get built on. We’re not advising building on green belt land, andwe do want to see more use of solar panels on newbuilds.

On knife crime: We want five-year minimum prison sentences anda zero-tolerance approach to knife crime. It seemsthat now they cut back on stop-and-search that knifecrime has increased. We also want to reduce crime by improving streetlighting. It helps people feel safer and reducesaccidents.

On the Elephant roundabout: It’s very congested and confusing. I took a wrong

turning and ended up in a congestion zone bymistake and got walloped with a fine. They aretrying to please everyone with it but it’s gone toofar, but the root problem is congestion and overuse,and that is down to immigration, which is the keytheme of our London policy: to stop immigrationnow.

On extending the Bakerloo Line: If there is an obvious gap for it then it should befilled. They could pay for it by cutting waste andvanity projects elsewhere. For they should scrap theGarden Bridge which is expected to cost £170m tobuild and another £2-3m to maintain every year.

On rejuvenating high streets:People are avoiding high streets because of high

car-parking charges. We need a scheme whereperhaps you can park for free for the first 30minutes.

Watch out for the Mayoral andLondon Assembly election resultswww.southwarknews.co.uk

Seven of the twelve London Mayor candidates are also running forLondon-wide Assembly Member seats: Paul Golding (Britain First),David Furness (British National Party), Caroline Pidgeon (London LiberalDemocrats), Sian Berry (Green Party), George Galloway (Respect), PeterWhittle (UKIP) and Sophie Walker (Women’s Equality Party).

22 OPINION www.southwarknews.co.uk/letters Southwark News, Thursday May 5, 2016

We are doing all wecan to help residents It was with great concern that weread in your newspaper last weekof the ongoing anti-socialbehaviour issues at Arch Street‘Hallway to hell, Southwark News,April 28, 2016.This is something we, as localcouncillors, have been concernedabout for some time. Over the last few months, we havebeen in discussions with someresidents and the management atL&Q about these issues, but it is clearto us that actions taken so far have notbeen urgent or effective enough. Wealso regularly raise anti-socialbehaviour issues around the Elephantand Castle with the local police.As part of our communication withresidents in the ward, we and NeilCoyle, MP, hold regular surgeries inthe area, details of which can befound on the Southwark Councilwebsite. We urge residents to meetwith us at these surgeries, and to getin touch whenever issues like thisaffect them. We also knocked on allresidents’ doors a couple of weeksago as part of our regular walkabouts,and we would encourage people toreport issues like this when they seeus in the ward.It is clear that there have been anti-social behaviour issues not only inArch Street but in this western cornerof the ward for the last eighteenmonths. Councillors have met withvenues and residents on theRockingham Estate, Meadow Row,Smeaton Court and Albert BarnesHouse in order to develop a co-ordinated response by the police,parking team and night timeeconomy teams but there is still muchwork to be done to resolve the issues. We make representations to CllrMark Williams and Cllr Michael Situ

regularly in order to ask them toensure that these issues areconsidered during the ongoingregeneration of Elephant and Castle.It is our hope that this, along with thedevelopment of the Low Line alongthe route of the railway line, willdesign out these problems so that thearea does not attract anti-socialbehaviour in the future. We will continue to raise anti-socialbehaviour issues with the policingteams, whose strength has been cutdue to the actions of Mayor BorisJonson in City Hall.However, we recognise that thisdoes not solve the problem right now,and so we have written to L&Qfollowing the most recent incidents toexpress our dissatisfaction with theirresponse so far. We will also arrangeto meet with residents to discussactions we can take in the future sothat they can enjoy their homeswithout fear for their children’s safety.Cllrs Karl Eastham, Helen Dennisand Vijay Luthra

Thanks for making StGeorge’s Day brillant ON THE 23rd April Bonamyand Bramcote put on their 11thSt George’s Day event atIlderton Road Primary School.

Our three Livesey councillorsRichard, Michael and Evelyn cameall day and the Mayor of Southwark

Dora pooped in to say hello. Wehad two Chelsea Pensioners –always a pleasure to see them. There were so many people whohelped on the day. We would like tothank Ann Clayton, Kiri Mary andall our friends from the LedburyEstate, Caroline Gardens, CopicAstley Cooper and AvondaleEstates - well done all. The children enjoyed the popcorn,candy floss, face painting, tattooistand flower bouquet lessons fromVicky. Millwall came and did thebeat the goalie competition. We hadtwenty raffle prizes and would liketo thank Tesco’s for their voucher,Russell our fish man down the Bluefor his voucher and Simon in thebutchers also gave a voucher, andMike in the Deli who gave a mealfor two – so a big thank you tothem. The reptile man with his snakes,lizards etc. was a big favourite withthe children. The children had thechance to dress up as St George, aprince, a princess or a dragon –great fun. Even the adults joined inand the photos taken by SteveDaszko were brilliant and fun. Part of the entertainment wasgiven by the Big Local SouthBermondsey Choir – they are verygood.

Green Southwark

Voting day and aprotected cycle-lane

DONNACHADHMcCARTHYDonnachadh McCarthy is the founder of 3 Acorns Eco-audits (www.3acorns.co.uk) andwww.nationalcarbonfootprintday.org. His home inCamberwell was London's first carbon-negative home.

TODAY IS election day inSouthwark. We have threevotes: for the London Mayor,

for our own single Southwark andLambeth Greater London Assembly(GLA) member and for the partyproportional London wide GLAmembers. The two biggest challenges facingLondon are the threats posed to it byflooding due to the climate crisis and thehorrific levels of deaths and life-incapacitating illnesses caused bytransport pollution. The estimated deathsover the next four years from pollution inSouthwark is 1,200 people. Recent studies have confirmed thatchildren living or going to school nearheavily polluted roads can have theirlung development stunted for life.Research has also confirmed the linkbetween asthma and transport pollution.There are over 12,000 registered asthmasufferers in Southwark, includingthousands of kids. The NHS estimatedthat £20 billion a year or 16% of itsbudget is spent treating the hugenumbers of people affected by pollutioncaused diseases. A recent survey showedthat this was parent’s top worry abouttheir children in Southwark and acrossLondon. The creation of a protected cycle-lanenetwork in Southwark and across Londonwould be a major positive contribution totackling both problems, as it eliminatesboth carbon emissions and results incleaner air. It would also enable our kidsto cycle more safely to school, as they doin Holland in huge numbers.So where do the major parties stand onthe issue? The cycling campaign group StopKilling Cyclists challenged all of them tocommit to raising the current tinyTransport for London safer cyclingbudget of 1.4% to 10% by 2020. ToryZac Goldsmith refused to raise the budgetby even a penny. Labour’s Sadiq Khansaid he would raise it to 2.8%. Lib DemCaroline Pidgeon, who is a formerSouthwark councillor promised 3%. Onlythe Green Party’s Sian Berry promised todeliver the full 10% needed by 2020 andshe also detailed exactly where thefunding would come from. UKIP did notgive any answer but their policieshistorically have been deeply anti-cycling.But whichever way you vote, I do hopeyou go out today and exercise your hardfought for right to vote.

Kids go on strike over government school plans

Only one you... makesmall changes now

MODERN LIFE makes ithard to be healthy. Withoutknowing it, by the time we

reach our 40s and 50s many of uswill have dramatically increased ourchances of becoming ill later in life. Whether we are eating the wrongthings, drinking more alcohol than weshould, continuing to smoke, or just notbeing active enough, all of these thingsadd up. These habits could make it harder tokeep up with the kids in the park or meanthat your favourite pair of jeans are a bittighter. More seriously, they increase therisk of you developing conditions such astype 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Our busy lives often mean that our ownhealth is at the bottom of our list ofpriorities. The One You campaign,recently launched by Public HealthEngland, is here to remind you that yourhealth matters. The campaign is aimed atpeople between the ages of 40 and 60years old to help them make changes toimprove their health.

ORIGINAL ITEMS from thePeter Pan Collection in GreatOrmond Street HospitalChildren’s Charity are about togo on public for the first time in aspecial e xhibition at the FlorenceNightingale Museum at StThomas’ Hospital. Take Me ToNeverland: Peter Pan From Playto Book and Beyond examinesthe true story behind themuch-loved classic, Peter Pan.When author J M Barrie gifted therights of Peter Pan to Great OrmondStreet Hos pital, he bestowed one ofthe most generous bequests evergiven to a hospital. This resulted inthe hospital receiving royalties fromevery adaptation or production ofPeter Pan ever staged. The result of apartnership between Great OrmondStreet and the Florence NightingaleMuseum at St Thomas’ Hospital, thisexhibition will showcase a number ofartefacts never seen before in public.The exhibition will include earlyeditions with classic illustrations ofthe story including works by MabelLucie Attwell and Arthur Rackham,and Peter Pan’s Postbag, a collectionof children’s letters sent to Peter Panfrom 1906-14. Also on display is theoriginal bell that was used as the“voice” of Tinker Bell in the 1904play and a selection of Peter Panmemorabilia never before displayedin public.David Barrie, great-great-nephew of JM Barrie, says:“This exhibition is going to challengethe saccharine image of Peter Pan thatDisney propagated. My great-great-

uncle was a complicated man, and thedark side of his imagination is the keyto understanding the real power of hisgreatest creation, Peter Pan. I’mdelighted that this exhibition, filledwith marvellous images, will help toset the record straight.”

history

LESS THAN a year beforeallied forces reclaimed Europe,the world’s first ever ballisticmissiles, launchable fromhundreds of miles away, andable to penetrate the Earth’satmosphere, were beginning tofall on London.At fourteen metres from nose tofin, weighing 12,500kg andequipped with sophisticatedtargeting systems, they werearguably the most influentialmilitary invention of WW2, settingthe path for technology used inAmerica’s space exploration.The day of the first V2 bombattack was September 8, 1944, andthe unpredictable raids continueduntil March 27, 1945.Records of tragedies in Southwarkare among the items in anexhibition that has been collectedand curated by Françoise Dupré,the niece of a French militaryprisoner Robert Berthelot, whoendured and survived life inconcentration camps. Her work for the DORA artproject is inspired by her visit tothe Mittelbau-Dora Concentration

Camp Memorial in Germany,where her uncle was imprisoned.The tortured image of mangledbrick-work and steel was takenafter a blast on the John Bull Archrailway bridge across SouthwarkPark Road was struck onNovember 5 at 10.55pm.The blast catapulted apanorama of shrapnel,and debris across 123surrounding houses andshops, as well onto theShuttleworth factory.Three were killed, 51were injured, 16 of themseriously. On the evening ofSunday December 17, asworkers would havebeen turning for home,the R White’s waterbottling factory inAlbany Road and BagshotStreet was destroyed beyondrepair by a V2 hit. Such was theimmensity of the explosion thatsome 40 little terraced homes weretaken with it. Families huddled intheir garden Anderson Shelters upto 400 yards away had felt theeffects. The level of destructionwas counted as 17 killed and 50injured; 22 of them seriously.

Today, the area forms part ofBurgess Park.“In London people remember theBlitz, but that was only stage of thewar. There was this later stage ofV2s,” said Françoise. Indeed, the raids were less

frequent, and came with almost nowarning, but a skim through thestatistics shows their destructionwas far more wide-ranging.Not all targets turned out to bestrategic, and residential spaces likeLordship Lane in Dulwich weresimilarly left cratered by a strike on

January 4.Two days later, a Peckhamneighbourhood between AzenbyRoad and Lyndhurst Road wasrazed to the ground. What had beenthe site of a railway workshops andrailway carriages, as well as a toilet

paper factory were severelydamaged, along with 150homes. Incredibly, nonewere killed, but 41 wereinjured. Part of AzenbyRoad was rebuilt asWarwick Gardens in 1963.The collection form theDORA projects lists 21separate strikes in thehistoric Camberwell andold Southwark areas alone.Françoise’s fascinationfor the V2 comes from heruncle’s accidentalcontribution as a slavelabourer to the construction

of Nazis’ V2 rocket project.She says two-thirds of those whowere victims of the V2s were themen enslaved by the Nazis,handpicked from concentrationcamps, and forced to dig the vast,secretive factories where they werethe rockets were developed at thePeenemünde Military Test Site.“My uncle worked in a huge

underground factory. It wasextraordinary in scale,” Françoisesaid. “He was involved in digging thetunnels where the colossal V2swere developed at the Peenemündeon the Baltic island of Usedom. “My father was selected for hisengineering ability. He was takenfrom another camp called theBuchenwald and was moved fromdigging to the assembly line.“The aim was to link the two sitesof terror: the concentration camps,with south east London, wherethere were a lot of hits, and was aworking-class area and had a hugeimpact on people’s lives.“At the same time I wanted to tellthe story of the V2 and my uncle’sjourney.”You can visit the DORA projectexhibition at the Peckham Platformin Peckham High Street, until itcloses on May 15, and find outmore by visitingdoraproject.wordpress.com online.

HATTIE STUMBLED and spilther drink all over herself, atypical Thursday night in manyways but with one difference: shelost her footing as our ThamesClipper bumped its way in todock at downtown Rotherhitheand deposited us in Venice, Italy,writes Joey Millar... Terrazza on the Thames, housed atthe Columbia restaurant inRotherhithe Street, is the peninsula’snewest pop-up bar. Themed on the

romantic and storied Italian city anddreamed up by Venetian winery Bolla,the bar will be open from 4pm everyday this summer. And while the boat trip fromEmbankment may be a touchunnecessary for SE16 residents, it iscertainly a more authentic way toarrive at a Venice-themed bar than theC10 – especially when free drinkswere provided on board to celebratethe terrace’s launch night. We disembarked and made our wayto the terrace, which boasts incrediblepanoramic views of Canary Wharfand the Thames – a more thanacceptable substitute for St Mark’sSquare and the Grand Canal. Therewere no gondolas in the water,admittedly, but if you squinted justright when one of those wastetransportation boats drifted by youcould almost trick yourself. After admiring the view for thecustomary 30 seconds or so wedecided to source some drinks, theProsecco from the clipper now eitherdrunk or spilt. We started with a

couple of glasses of Bolla SparklingRose before graduating to BollaProsecco DOCG. After that it wastime for a couple of Bolla cocktails.And while the menu can seem a littleBolla-heavy at times, when the drinkswere as enjoyable as they were it ishard to argue. They say there is no bad time to visitVenice but unfortunately the samecannot be said for Rotherhithe. LateApril is perfect to open a summerpop-up bar in theory but,unfortunately for the organisers, theday itself was bitterly cold and windy.Attendees flocked like moths to theelectric heaters or ventured inside tothe comfort of central heating andsofas. An optimistic ice-cream sellerstood forlornly at a stand, her backturned to the icy breeze skipping offthe Thames.Hattie and I braved the cold for thesake of food, which came in the formof freshly-made ‘pizzette’ – a farfancier way to say ‘mini pizzas.’ Wechose one each of The Florita, madewith spinach, egg and parmesan, and

The Dock, with pulled pork,pepperoni, salami and mozzarella,before hurrying inside, throwingsympathetic looks to a pair of scantilyclad dancers who were doing aremarkable job of not shivering on apodium. Inside we finished off our pizette andhelped ourselves to some morecocktails – first a Bollini and aRossini, which were made with peachand raspberry puree mixed with BalloProsecco respectively, and then twoglasses of One Night in Venice. Like many others by this stage, wewere suitably warmed by acombination of the radiators and thealcohol, so we wandered outside totake in the view once again. With thetowers across the Thames sparkling inthe growing darkness, and the icecream seller now doing surprisinglybrisk business, Hattie and I sat downon a bench shaped like a gondola toenjoy a final glass of Bollini each.Life in Venice, SE16, is certainly bene– even if Rotherhithe’s Thames-chilled weather refuses to play along.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO EXECUTE GENERAL VESTING DECLARATION

THE LONDON BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK (ELMINGTON ESTATE SITE G) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 2015

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 3 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 of the intention of the London Borough of Southwark to make a General Vesting Declarationvesting the land described in the Schedule below in itself at the expiration of not less than two months from the publication of this Notice.

The following paragraphs contain a statement of the effect of Parts II and III of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981, followed by an invitation to give information in respect of the landcomprised in the Order.

PART 1

FORM OF STATEMENT OF EFFECT OF PARTS II AND III OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981

Power to make general vesting declaration

1. The London Borough of Southwark (hereinafter called the Acquiring Authority) may acquire any of the land described in the Schedule hereto by making a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981. This has the effect, subject to paragraph 4 below, of vesting the land in the Acquiring Authority at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 below. A declaration may not be made before the end of a period of two months from the first publication of a notice which includes this statement except with the consent in writing of every occupier of the land affected.

Notices concerning general vesting declaration

2. As soon as may be after the Acquiring Authority make a general vesting declaration, they must serve notice of it on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (except land where there is one of the tenancies described in paragraph 3) and on every person who gives them information relating to the land in pursuance of the invitation contained in any notice. When the service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a further period begins to run. This period, which must be not less than 28 days, will be specified in the declaration. On the first day after the end of this period (“the vesting date”) the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraph 4, vest in the Acquiring Authority together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom the Acquiring Authority could have served a notice to treat in respect of his interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 3) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of his interest in the land, with interest on the compensation from the vesting date.

Modifications with respect to certain tenancies

3. In the case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a “minor tenancy”, ie a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or “a long tenancy which is about to expire”. The later expression means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it shall be assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity open to him to terminate the tenancy while the tenant will use every opportunity to retain or renew his interest.

4. The modifications are that the Acquiring Authority may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 3 unless they first serve notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serve every occupier of the land with a notice of their intention to enter and take possession after the period (not less than 14 days from the service of the notice) specified in the notice. The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of that period. The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first.

5. Every person who, if a general vesting declaration were made in respect of all the land comprised in the order (other than land in respect of which notice to treat has been given), would be entitled to claim compensation in respect of any such land, is invited to give information to the authority making the declaration in the prescribed form with respect to his name and address and the land in question. The relevant prescribed form is set out below.

SCHEDULE – DESCRIPTION OF LAND

All of the land and buildings comprised in the London Borough of Southwark (Elmington Estate Site G) Compulsory Purchase Order 2015 as confirmed, being numbers 30-72 (inclusive) (even) LomondGrove 1-20 (inclusive) (consecutive) Broome Way and 1-12 (inclusive) (consecutive) Flecker House Elmington Estate London SE5.

MILLWALL LIONESSEStasted league defeat for the firsttime this campaign after theylost two games in a week.Their first lost came last

Wednesday against London Beeswhen an injury time penalty fromNicola Watts saw the Bees win 2-1.Jo Wilson opened the scoring forMillwall’s opponents before Naomi

Cole levelled things up before thelate drama decided the contest.Last Saturday’s game, played atThe Den after Millwall’s men'sgame, was not as close as theLionesses slipped to a disappointing4-0 home defeat.For the latest news on the clubvisit www.millwall.fawsl.com.

EX-FISHER ABC man DannyCarr overcame Sheffield’s QasimHussein to claim his fourthprofessional victory at the CopperBox Arena last Saturday. The 25 year-old fighter was on topthroughout the contest and came awaywith a comfortable points victory. All-action Carr repeatedly found his

way past Hussain’s patchy defence andmade use of his explosive one punchpower. The referee scored the bout 40-36 in Carr’s favour.This weekend Peckham boxer JohnnyGarton will be in action at York Hall,Bethnal Green when he fights RyanFields for the vacant Englishwelterweight crown.

Surrey draw despiteSangakkara ton

A DISMAL display from Dulwichsaw then slump to a 3-1 play offfinal defeat against East ThurrockUnited on Bank Holiday Monday.The Pink and Blues had raised fanhopes of promotion after a stirringsemi-final victory over Bognor RegisTown last Thursday, but a listlessshowing from Hamlet in Essex endedhopes of promotion to the ConferenceSouth.Conditions, a bobbly pitch and a gustywind, played a part in so much as thehome side dealt with them whilst theChampion Hill team seemed at a lossat how to get going at all.By the time there was 35 minutes onthe clock Dulwich were three goalsbehind, all coming courtesy of aninability to defend inswinging corners.The first goal came after elevenminutes when a George Craddockdelivery caused havoc in the visitingdefence and found it’s way into the net.Two subsequent set pieces were thenbundled in by centre half Rickie Haylesleaving Hamlet with a mountain toclimb they never looked likely to scale.They briefly stirred two minutes aftergoing three goals behind when RomanMichael-Percil was deemed to havebeen fouled in the box resulting in aDulwich penalty.Ashley Carew had his spot kick savedby home stopper Lucas Lidakeviciusbut Jordan Hibbert saved Carew’sblushes by expertly volleying in therebound off the keeper.Hamlet then upped the pace of thegame and troubled the home defenceand should have had a second penaltywhen Nyren Clunis was clearly fouledin the box.That penalty didn’t come and neitherdid a second half onslaught from thevisitors as Thurrock held them at armslength to secure promotion.

Few could argue the best team had wonon the day and a victory would havepapered over cracks in Hamlet’sseason, where a slump in form sinceChristmas has seen them go from titlechallengers to sneaking into the playoffs.Manager Gavin Rose and his staff haveachieved much since taking over at theclub, so much so that expectations arenow high amongst many of the

Champion Hill faithful.Therefore most will consider thisseason to be a disappointment, despitecoming within a game of promotion,when looked at as a whole.But Hamlet, with a post season squadshake up, should be once again becontenders for promotion nextcampaign and that is something for thefans to hold onto during the summermonths.

SURREY DREW their CountyChampionship contest againstSomerset at the Kia Ovaldespite an impressive firstinnings ton from KumarSangakkara.The Sri Lankan hit 171 in thehome sides first innings total of 463only for ex-England opener Marcus

The Millwallwinger faces abusy summer onand off the pitch

SHANE FERGUSON isn’tgoing to have much time off torecharge his batteries thissummer – but after not playing alot over recent seasons he’s notbothered about that. The Northern Ireland internationalhas made 48 appearances forMillwall this campaign, more than inhis previous five seasons as aprofessional footballer combined. With Ferguson’s goal againstOldham last weekend helpingMillwall to the play-offs, his clubseason will be extended until at leastMay 19. Then, depending on whetherthey make the final at Wembley at theend of May, he will be dashing toeither Austria for a training camp orto France to link up with hisinternational colleagues to preparefor Euro 2016. Northern Ireland’s tournament beginswith a clash against Poland on June

12, with the final a month later onJuly 10 at the Stade de France inParis. Then there is another trip backto England, where his girlfriend,Grace, is set to graduate with abusiness degree from NewcastleUniversity. If it seems a long shot that Fergusonwill be playing competitive footballall the way into July, then he doesn’thave far to look for evidence that theseemingly impossible can happen. Tottenham’s draw at Chelsea onMonday night that handed a first-evertop-flight title to 5,000/1 outsidersLeicester meant one of Ferguson’sfriends is an example of what can beachieved in football. “I used to play with (Leicesterdefender) Danny Simpson atNewcastle,” Ferguson explained. “Igot on really well with him. Once Ibroke into the team he helped me alot, he’s a really nice person. I’mreally happy for him. “But I don’t think anyone wouldhave seen Leicester doing that.Everyone thought they would slip upall season but fair play to them, theydidn’t and it’s great for everyone

involved. “You look at what could happen, it’sa great story. Andy King has beenwith them since League One so it canbe a great inspiration for youngplayers. It was unbelievable.” Even Northern Irish golfer RoryMcIlroy pointed out on Twitter onMonday night that Michael O’Neill’sside are 500/1 to win Euro 2016,more likely than a Leicester triumphwas. “I had a bit of a laugh at histweet,” Ferguson said. “Everyonemight get a bit more confident nowwhen they see what can happen.”Before all of that Millwall enter themost critical part of their season.They held their nerve last Saturdaywhen they defeated Oldham 3-0 tomake sure of their play-off spot. Ferguson scored the second goal, histhird of the season, and said NeilHarris has been urging him to get intopositions to add to his tally. “There was a bit of pressure beforethe game but the manager didn’t putit onto us,” Ferguson said. “Westayed nice and calm, there was a lotto play for to make sure we got theplay-offs. The lads played brilliantly

and getting the early goal wasimportant. “It never changes when you get agoal, it’s always the best feeling. Idon’t get many of them but hopefullyI’ll get a few more. “The manager always jokes with meabout getting in the box more andtelling me I owe him a goal so it wasnice to get one.” Only Wigan and Peterborough havescored more league goals thanMillwall this season. And with adefence that has conceded just onegoal in their last seven games athome, the groundwork is there for atilt at the Championship. “Whenever we’re on our day we’rea very exciting team,” Fergusonexplained. “We work a lot on that intraining and you can see it paying offin matches. “We all know our jobs. We do a loton the training field in terms of teamshape and we know our roles. We’ddo anything for each other as well,we’re a really close team. We justwant to try and be as successful as wecan and hopefully we can do that thisseason.”

Gaffer wordAids O’Brien


MILLWALL ATTACKER AidenO’Brien has praised his boss NeilHarris for the advice he gave himafter he suffered a dip in form thisseason. O’Brien scored ten goals betweenSeptember and December, but thenstruggled for a starting place in the sideafter Harris signed Jed Wallace and ChrisTaylor. An injury to Lee Gregory has given himhis chance to play up front recently, andthough he regrets doubting himself whenhe was out of the team, he said hismanager’s encouragement was crucial. “I was scoring a lot and thinking, ‘Thisis what it’s all about, winning games foryour team, for your manager and yoursupporters’,” O’Brien said. “I was scoring winning goals, hat-tricks.Scoring goals is what I dream about andthen it kind of just faded out. And I wasthinking, ‘Okay, that’s fine’, but a coupleof games later I still hadn’t scored. “So I kind of wondered what was goingon. Now I think that was wrong of mebecause I shouldn’t have questioned myability, I should have carried on playingwith a smile on my face to get back myform. “But the man-management from thegaffer was spot on. He kept saying, ‘Lookat what you’ve done this season, class ispermanent, form is temporary’. I kept thatin my head and I knew he was right. I’mnot going to be on form all the time, I’mgoing to have dips. “As much as I can be on my game,that’s all I want to do, whether it’sworking for the team, scoring goals,getting assists, defending, I just want tobe part of a winning team and keep myplace in it.”O’Brien explained his father, David, isalso a vital influence in shaping his career. “My dad is a massive role model forme,” O’Brien said. “Anything I’m indoubt about on or off the pitch I turn tohim and ask him his opinion, he’s alwaysbeen honest with me. If I were to scoretwo goals in a game at The Den but myball retention, for example, was 20 percent, he would tell me straight out that itwasn’t good enough. “And I like that, I like criticism. I don’tthink you can learn from people tellingyou you’ve done well every time whenyou haven’t. My dad is key to that.”

LEE GREGORY is a doubtfor this weekend’s trip toGillingham, Millwall’s lastSky Bet League One gamethis season. Shaun Williams is available afterhis three-game ban but boss NeilHarris could stick with the samestarting XI that defeated Oldham3-0.The Lions confirmed their placein the play-offs with that win atThe Den last weekend, and canend the Gills’ hopes of achievinga top-six finish on Sunday. Gillingham were ten pointsahead of Millwall when theywon 3-0 at The Den inDecember, but JustinEdinburgh’s side’s form in 2016has been poor and their seasonwill be over if they fail to getthree points at Priestfield. The Football Associationcharged both clubs with failingto control their players after thatfiery clash earlier this season,with Gillingham fined £4,000and Millwall £2,750 when a JoeMartin tackle on Ryan Jacksonsparked a melee on the pitch, andstriker Dominic Samuel alsoclaimed he was headbutted by aMillwall player. Jordan Archer was sent off in the25th minute for a professionalfoul on Cody MacDonald and atthe end of the game former Lionsmidfielder Josh Wright had to becalmed down by his team-matesafter becoming embroiled in averbal spat with a section of thehome support. At Gillingham’s end-of-seasonclub dinner earlier this week,meanwhile, chairman PaulScally told a local journalistthere was still “everything toplay for”, before adding: “We’regoing to beat Millwall atWembley and win promotion to

the Championship”. Add in Martin’s comments abouthis former club earlier thisseason, when he said Millwall’ssquad was far better thanGillingham’s and he expected tofinish above them, and Lionsfans’ frustration at a reducedticket allocation, and it increasesthe potential for a spicyencounter. Millwall will be confident ofavenging that December defeat.Gillingham won none of theirseven fixtures in April. Theyhave won five league games in21 in 2016, in contrast toMillwall, who have won 13 of

their 22, losing just four.Edinburgh’s side have droppedfrom second to eighth in that

time, while Millwall have risenfrom tenth to fourth over thesame period.

46 MILLWALL www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport Southwark News, Thursday May 5, 2016

MILLWALL’S LAST homeleague game of the season wasbookended by club awardsbeing handed out on the pitchbefore kick-off and a pitchinvasion after the finalwhistle.In between, Neil Harris’ sideeased to one of their mostcomfortable wins of the season inwhat should have been a tenseoccasion, with a top-six placestill in the balance. There was some tension as theplayers were leaving the field atfull time when Oldham defenderAnthony Gerrard claimed he hadbeen struck by a Millwall fan,and the FA announced they wouldinvestigate the incident. That was the only dark momenton a day when Jordan Archer washanded his player of the yearprize by former heavyweightworld champion David Haye andthen kept his sixth clean sheet inhis last seven games at The Den. Young player of the year BenThompson set the tone forMillwall’s domination of thecontest by snapping into an earlytackle on midfielder Liam Kelly.And the ease of Millwall’s winwas illustrated by the fact centre-back Byron Webster came close

to snatching a hat-trick in thesecond half but lifted a close-range shot over the bar. Maybe after Oldham hadsecured their League One statuswith a 1-0 win over Crewe theprevious weekend, it wasinevitable there would be a bigdrop-off in their performancelevel. They had built their successfulsurvival push on a the strength ofa resurgent defence after theylooked doomed when Millwallbeat them 2-1 in January to leavethem five points from safety. Webster put the Lions ahead instraightforward fashion in thefifth minute when he noddedChris Taylor’s corner past JoelColeman. A little over twelvemonths ago Webster was in aYeovil side rooted to the bottomof League One. Now he is amainstay in a side three gamesaway from achieving a return tothe Championship. Millwall had won only one ofthe other four games in whichWebster had scored this seasonbut it never looked like theywould leave three points behindagainst an Oldham side thatmight already be thinking whereto spend the summer holidays. Webster scored his sixth of theseason in even easiercircumstances to make it 3-0 inthe 54th minute. And it was again

Steve Morison showing hisimportance to the side, with hisstrength, vision and skill key toguiding Shane Ferguson’s free-kick towards Webster, whoheaded in. With Lee Gregory outafter surgery on a stomach muscleand still a doubt for the play-offs,Millwall will hope Morison, whohas played 53 times this season,avoids injury between now andthe end of the campaign. Harris had mentioned in hismatch programme thecontributions of Webster andMorison to Millwall’s climb upthe table, and the current captainalmost scored what wouldundoubtedly have been the goalof the season had a first-halfeffort from near halfway, after hehad seen Coleman off his line,crept under the crossbar insteadof over. Joe Martin also clipped thewoodwork after Mahlon Romeohad been fouled 25 yards out. Morison never stops workingand it was from another of hischannel runs that Millwalldoubled their lead five minutesbefore the break when he ran ontoRomeo’s ball down the line. Helooked up to find Aiden O’Brienrunning towards the near post andwhen his flick behind hisstanding leg didn’t find the target,Ferguson, starting after missingthe last two games, took

advantage and swept home histhird of the season at the backpost. Harris has been teasing hiswide players about their lack ofgoals recently, but that’s three intwo games, as well as two assists,between the pair. For all their dominance, thehome side let their concentrationlapse late on and Oldham shouldhave scored twice to give theirsmall travelling supportsomething to cheer. FirstJonathan Forte seemed to thinkhe was offside before shootingstraight at Archer from eightyards. Worse was to come whenLatics substitute Dominic Poleonsomehow fired over the bar inspace just four yards from goal. There was some disappointmentwhen news came through thatBurton had beaten Gillingham 2-1, meaning they and Walsall willfight for second on the last day.But that barely dampened themood as Millwall ended theregular league season with sixsuccessive home wins. There was a lot of frustrationamong Millwall fans when it wasannounced there would be justover 1,000 tickets made availablefor the last League One game ofthe season at Gillingham. But that will give over toexcitement at the prospect ofMillwall’s involvement in theplay-offs.

NNoo AArrcchh rriivvaallss A YEAR ago, Jordan Archerwas preparing to departMillwall without having made asenior appearance, with theclub relegated to League One. He was heading back to TottenhamHotspur after his loan uncertainabout his future, but fairly sure hedidn’t have one at the PremierLeague club, where he had spentfour years without ever reallycoming close to breaking into thefirst team. Hugo Lloris, Heurelho Gomes andBrad Friedel were blocking hisroute at White Hart Lane andArcher’s experience of competitivefootball amounted to time on loanat Bishop’s Stortford andWycombe. The closest he got to the Spurs firstteam was in March 2013 whenAndre Villas-Boas put him on thebench as understudy to BradFriedel in a Premier League fixtureat Swansea. Archer’s squad numberthat season was 57, a reminder ofhow far he was from making that aregular experience.

Coming up against players of thecalibre of Harry Kane, Gareth Baleand Jermain Defoe in traininghelped hone Archer’s shot-stoppingability, and another loan spell atNorthampton deepened the sensehe need to get away to advance hiscareer. “There were indications,Spurs hadn’t said anything aboutrenewing anything,” Archerexplained. “They’re a massive clubwith a lot of top goalkeepers, theFrance captain (Lloris) is there.“I wasn’t under any illusions that Iwas going to get any game timeanytime soon. That made it easierto make the decision to leave.When I heard Millwall wereinterested in taking mepermanently I was delighted.”Archer witnessed Millwall’sdecline last season from the bench,but he showed enough on thetraining pitch to convince NeilHarris he could have a future at theclub. When Harris decided to offerArcher a deal, he told the younggoalkeeper he would be joining asnumber two to David Forde, whohad won the club’s player of theyear award in 2013-14. At 22, Archer was getting close tothe point where he had to make afirst-team breakthrough

somewhere, but it was still a riskjoining a League One side as areserve to a goalkeeper who hadbeen at Millwall for seven yearsand was an establishedinternational. He knew he might have to wait aseason before getting his chance,but nine months after making hiscompetitive Lions debut he wasvoted the club’s player of the yearfor 2015-16. And in the same week thatTottenham’s chances of claimingthe Premier League title ended,Archer was helping Millwallensure they have a chance ofwinning a trophy of their own afterthey confirmed their place in theLeague One play-offs.Archer admits his chance to makean impact in the first XI camesooner than he had thought.Millwall were a defensive mess inthe early part of the season. Fordeconceded eight goals in the firstthree league games and wasdropped. If Archer was nervous about beingthrust into the side, with Harris stilltrying to figure out his best eleven,he didn’t show it and kept a cleansheet on his league debut atScunthorpe. Forde said earlier this season he let

Harris know he wasn’t happy withthe decision, with the unavoidableperception he was being made ascapegoat. But Archer said it never affectedtheir professional or personalrelationship, and praised hisgoalkeeping rival for his help thisseason. “Obviously Fordey was establishedhere but the manager said to comein, work hard and take it fromthere,” Archer said. “I’ve alwaysbacked my own ability so once thechance came I knew I had to go andperform. “Fordey’s been outstanding and Ican’t thank him enough. Often yousee in football that it’s easy foranother goalkeeper to be bitter andspiteful but it couldn’t be furtherthe other way with Fordey. “He has helped me massively onand off the field. He is alwaystalking me through things, passingme on the benefit of his experience. “He’s one of the funniest guys inthe squad as well so us goalkeepershave a great laugh. It’s good thatwe can enjoy ourselves and havefun. It makes the day job a loteasier.”So do results, even if Archer said ittook the club some time to get usedto being in the third tier, in a

competitive division after asummer of changes to the squad. “League One is a tough league, aseveryone has seen,” Archer said.“We started off very slowly but aswe adapted to it we went on a greatrun and haven’t lost many gamesrecently.”Archer will have added motivationat Gillingham this weekend. Hewas sent off against JustinEdinburgh’s side in December andHarris stuck with Forde until theveteran’s error against Oxford fivegames later let Archer back into theside. But the 23-year-old prefers insteadto focus on the team keeping theircurrent good run of form goingthan on any notion of personalredemption. “I think it’s important for us to keepup the momentum,” Archer said.“Walsall can still slip up as well sowe can still finish third. “We’re going to go into this gamelooking for three points. It’sobviously more important forGillingham because they’ve got totry and make their way into theplay-offs. “So we’re not going to go there andtake it lightly, we’re going to gothere for three points and carry onour run.”

MILLWALL ARE hoping topscorer Lee Gregory will be fit fortheir play-off campaign. Gregory, 27, underwent surgery on astomach muscle tear two weeks ago andhas missed the wins over Bury andOldham. The former Halifax Town striker maynot be risked for this weekend’s clash atGillingham, with Millwall alreadyassured of a top-six finish. The first leg of the play-off semi-finalwill take place either six or seven daysafter the clash at Priestfield, dependingon where Millwall finish in the league. Gregory has been struggling with hisinjury for a number of weeks, andMillwall finally decided he neededsurgery after he went off at half-time inthe 1-0 win over Fleetwood on April 19. Gregory’s sixteen league goals thisseason have been crucial to Millwallsecuring a shot at a return to theChampionship, with twelve of themcoming in 2016 as the Lions haveclimbed from tenth to fourth in theLeague One table. But manager Neil Harris is likely to givehim the extra time to prove his fitnessfor the first leg of the play-offs on May14 or 15. “It’ll be unlikely he’ll be available forthis weekend,” Harris admitted. “He’son a road to recovery but he has achance, we’ll leave it until the lastminute before deciding. “If he can train before that then that’sbrilliant. If he can’t then we will look athaving him back for the play-offs.”

And fans tell Fergieto down rivals Gills

MILLWALL WILL find outtheir play-off opponents after thelast day of the 2015-16 seasonthis Sunday. Lions boss Neil Harris said his sidewere “hurt” when they lost toGillingham at The Den in December. Justin Edinburgh’s side were strongfavourites to clinch promotion afterthat result, but Millwall can denythem a top-six place this weekendwith a win or a draw. Millwall know they will finish in the

play-off spots, and the final leaguepositions in the table will determinewhether they meet Bradford,Barnsley, Scunthorpe or the Gills inthe semi-final. Even though Millwall lost 3-0 toGillingham last year, Harris sawsigns to be encouraged by theirperformance that day. “We’ve come a long way since then,”Harris said. “There were a lot ofpositives in that game. We playedwell until Jordan Archer got a redcard and then they scored the penalty. “After that we were fantastic, wewere the better team with ten men.That gave us a lot of confidence.

“It’s a local derby in this division.There is a rivalry between the clubsand the fans because we’re close toeach other. So we are conscious ofthat. “It’s a game I’m excited about, wewant to finish with real momentum. “The result at The Den hurt us andwe want to put that right.”Millwall need to win at PriestfieldStadium to be in with a chance offinishing third in the table, and ShaneFerguson has been made aware bysupporters how much a positiveresult in the fixture would mean tothem. “There’s still something to play for

because we obviously want to finishas high as possible,” Ferguson said. “I was speaking to a lot of fans at theclub’s awards dinner the other nightand they were saying they reallywant to get one over on Gillingham. “We know it’s like a derby as welland we’re really looking forward toit. “Hopefully we can get the winbecause it wasn’t one of our bestperformances against them last timeout and we want to make up for that. “It just shows how far we’ve comesince then. We didn’t get off to thebest of starts but you can see howmuch we’ve improved as a team.”
