It's a pity we did not arrange a closer venue to Furzedown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although The Thrale is closed, The Railway Station (opposite Tooting main
line)
is only yards away ???????????
Too late to change now, but worth remembering for the future.
Ellis.

I'll drive down. Would anyone like a lift?

Some of us are meeting in a pub this Friday evening (4th Jan) from
8pm onwards.  Please come along and please bring anyone else.  The
venue was agreed some time ago because we could not find a suitable
venue within Furzedown at the time <shame :-(    > but hopefully we
will do for any future get togethers.

The pub is called "The Leather Bottle" and is on Garratt Lane.  If
you are travelling north on Garratt Lane you have to go a little past
Burntwood Lane before you come to it on the left hand side of the
road.  It is in the same vicinity as the police station.  See you
there!

Anna - A3 consent is permission to use premises for sale of food and drink,
as opposed to retail uses, business, etc. A3 consents are the responsibility
of the Council - alcohol licences are separately given by magistrates.
The revised Wandsworth UDP of June 99 was quite upbeat about A3 use ("A3
uses are generally appropriate in principle in most shopping areas in the
Borough...") however "Food and drink uses can, however, be detrimental to
the amenity of an area if inappropriately located, particularly where there
is residential accomodation adjacent, close to or above A3 premises."
A3 consents can, I think often do, define opening hours - I think we might
get A3 consent for the laundramat for a deli/cafe/commumity centre, daytime
only, but evenings and alcohol might be more difficult.

Good idea, Anna, but more in favour of Moyser Road shop. Would worry about
vandalism more at the rec.

Di

T think a cafe/resource centre is a good idea. Can it be incorporated into the
ideas already put forward for the building on the Rec?

Replying to Anna's call for a focal point/meeting place - many people
locally have racked (?wracked) their brains on this one. Assuming it would
need to be primarily financially a cafe, several have tried and failed with
the rec building and others have been put off by the costs of refurb and
rent. It is badly located for (adult) passing trade. If it is a daytime cafe
in Moyser Road (assuming change of use consent) it would be swamped with
Graveney kids spending as little as possible every weekday lunchtime.

I have had correspondence with Wandsworth about the possibility of change of
use to A3 plus an alcohol licence for a daytime and/or evening cafe in
Moyser Road, which they think would be unlikely on the grounds that all the
shops in Moyser Road are opposite houses (tho this is also true of The
Point). Also because M Road is an Important Local Parade, and they require
to keep a certain proportion of retail outlets. The Borough Planner said 'In
relation to A3 policies I think a daytime only cafe will have the potential
to cause much less nuisance than a late-night facility, and so would be much
less likely to be turned down on amenity grounds...'

This was July 2000, and things may have changed - perhaps another
sub-committee is needed to investigate the possibilities? I'd be happy to
participate.

There is a public notice in the Wandsworth Borough Guardian dated
20th Dec 2001 which is entitled "Furzedown School Safety Zone" and
refers to the traffic calming measures proposed for Moyser Road,
Chillerton Road and Welham Road.

The final date for objections is 10th January 2002.  Although I
havenot checked, I assumed that the details can be found on
Wandsworth's own website viz:

http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk

I think we need a meeting place/focal point for Furzedown which could be a
cafe on the Rec.   I would like to be able to pop out and have coffee and
meet other people who are working from home/freelance...we could start a
business club type thing to support each other and share information.  And
the cafe could have a meeting room/resource centre/office that we could use
and contribute to - through membership and paying for services used??? What
do others think?   Anna Lubelska (Committee member)  PS Or maybe we should
take on the shop space that is currently the laundrette on Moyser Road???!!!

Replying to J Man.
Others have also said they were promised feedback but have not received it.
We will ask the Chief Officer when we meet with him in January. If you are
interested and have views from residents living in the west area of Furzedown
- Moyser to Southcroft - we would be very interested to hear those views and
pleased if you want to get involved.

Let us know.

Happy Xmas.

Graham Owen

Thanks for communications, Graham.

Have a good break

Di

Bad luck for them - it may be worth the residents considering a move up a bit!

Have a Happy Christmas,

Di

Glad to hear from you. I have just put on a request for views and ideas on the future of the Recreation ground. Please contribute when you have a moment over Xmas.

Tell your friends and neighbours about the group and encourage them to get involved, especially those who have bought a PC for Xmas!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick note to say that I have joined the Furzedown group. Looking
forward to hearing from you all [in moderation!]

Birchwood Road

It's an interesting idea and not without it's merits. They could leave the
speed bumps in for skaters and bmx riders to practice on!

I would imagine that the bulk of traffic going up and down Seely road does
not actually turn fown Ramsdale anyway - I suspect they cutting through from
Southcroft Rd, up Freshwater Road and up to Furzedown Lodge.

Subject: [furzedown] Ramsdale Road


I'd be interested in opinions about the proposal to close to traffic
Ramsdale Road between Furzedown Drive and Chillerton Road, so as to 'join'
the two halves of the recreation ground, and make entry and exit from the
children's play area safer. Additionally it would provide a skateboarding
area free of traffic.

Objections might be that it would increase traffic in the top of Crowborough
Road and the middle bit of Chillerton Road, and that it would increase
parking in the Seely Hall part of Chillerton Road during events at the
sports pitches.

There are no houses fronting onto that part of Ramsdale Road.

What do you think?
