Dear Companions
As you know, a group of us is battling to block an 11-storey high-rise building in our Kennington Conservation Area
We are learning a lot as we go...!!!
I've lived here since the mid-80s and, as you know, love it!
I have always been able to reach out to the community on all manner of issues,
most recently getting the Lights up in the Tree of Hope...
I am now wondering if we might again band together to connect up on heritage issues
After quietly, smuggly enjoying our patch until now,
it seems the rest of the world has realised what a gem we have here
and the developers have begun to swoop
Fair enough...
However, I believe we do need to stand up to protect our notable heritage assets,
which have survived the ravages of time, wars, neglect, etc
for the younger people following in our footsteps
It seems that several of the groups that were around a decade ago are no longer active
It's such a shame to have lost that knowledge and wisdom;
however, we do still share a wealth of talent
so, firstly, I'd like to find out if there is any interest in setting up such a Network...
Perhaps we can pool resources so we don't all have to keep re-inventing the wheel...
Initially, let's just see if anyone is interested and, if so,
how we might develop a suitable vehicle for moving forward
If you are interested, please be in touch and we can see where it leads
Do pass this on to anyone else who might be interested in such an endeavour...
Stay well
Best wishes
Cathy
