Green Crofton Park: End of an era: Adhesive Specialities Ltd.
http://greencroftonpark.blogspot.com/2010/08/end-of-era-adhesive-specialities-ltd.html
Friday, 13 August 2010. End of an era: Adhesive Specialities Ltd. This is actually in Ladywell, rather than Crofton Park, but I felt a touch of sadness none the less seeing what was happening to such a lovely old iconic building. I thought the crows seemed particularly ominous in this setting. There's something I found quite touching about this image of the stopped clock, the useless door that leads off a ledge and the abrupt finality of closing off the entrance. Posted by Jim Jepps. On the blog we discu...

Green Crofton Park: February 2010
http://greencroftonpark.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 February 2010. Merry Carrots Mr Lawrence. I mentioned before that some of the local shops are taking part in the 'nine carrots' scheme to help them invest in environmentally friendly improvements in their businesses. The way it works is that you go in, make your purchase as normal, pay the normal price but you ask for a 'green receipt'. The business then puts a portion of that money towards improvements.

Green Crofton Park: August 2010

Thursday, 26 August 2010. Save Crofton Park Library. I wasn't able to attend Monday's meeting on Crofton Park library so I asked fellow Green Charlotte Dingle, who was there, to send me a quick report on this important issue. The consultation saw various proposals outlined by council officers, including keeping the library open by allowing volunteers to run it. However, they didn’t really outline any particularly well thought-out alternatives, and spent a lot of time skirting around questions, ...Their s...

Green Crofton Park: September 2010
http://greencroftonpark.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 26 September 2010. Labour Leadership: How did Lewisham Labour vote? I just noticed that the Labour Party has rather neatly published a breakdown. Of the recent leadership vote in which Ed Miliband won. I thought it would be interesting to have a look at how Lewisham Labour Party voted in the election. If you take all three constituencies the breakdown looks like this;. Which looks like this in numbers (you can click to make them clearer);. Any explanations for this? Posted by Jim Jepps. I have a ...

Green Crofton Park: March 2010
http://greencroftonpark.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 March 2010. Funny what people vote on. When I was canvassing yesterday I spoke to a lovely old fella on the doorstep. He told me he hadn't decided who he was voting for yet but it was probably between the Greens and Labour. As you do we fell to chatting about politics and the conversation quickly turned to Ancient Rome. After a lengthy discussion on Sulla he looked at me and said "Do you know what, I think I will vote Green this time.". Posted by Jim Jepps. Monday, 22 March 2010. Not sure a...

Green Crofton Park: May 2010
http://greencroftonpark.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 11 May 2010. When was Lewisham Tory? Just seen on the BBC news that Labour have taken Lewisham council from the Tories. Blimey, I didn't know I was that out of touch! While we all know that our electoral system is not wholly democratic but I'm not sure that the handful of councillors the Tories had for the last four years, no matter how effective, could actually be deemed to have been in charge of the council. Thought I'd take a screen shot for posterity. Currently at this link;. Here in Crofton...
