Campaign updates:
Save the Arctic: Saturday 23rd June
After lengthy discussions and bearing in mind the new third strand of Save the Arctic, it was decided to hold a joint action with Croydon and Southwark along the Southbank.
Meet up 12 noon Royal Festival Hall – area to the left at the back (if your back is to the river) for final brief. Loos and coffee both available.
Shell action: We have the materials, just need to source a public venue. Will discuss with Southwark and Croydon on Saturday.
Common Fisheries Policy: Bromley and the SE Massif did visit Brighton a few years back to help in their fish campaign. It was agreed RR to do research and maybe join a coastal group. More news when available….get ready to put your name down for a seaside trip…
AOB
AG gave out cards for FOE’s Saes the Bees campaign.
RC attended the London Green Fair and reminded members that if they want to pay less for solar panels and get an income, then applications should be made asap as the Government’s plans for funding are now about to run out.
Crystal Palace: Permission has been granted for private housing development on lands at Crystal Palace Park.
Bromley Council is recommending that new larger plans for business on Queen’s Gardens, Bromley, will go ahead. Queens Gardens was given to the town under a covenant which precludes building - as all the area in the original gift was for a public garden and pleasure ground. Building the part of the Glades on formerly open ground and now the plans for more restaurants will in fact go against the uses laid down in the gift covenant. Bromley Council to pass the new plans on June 28th at the Civic Centre…all welcome to join Bromley Civic Society to protest at the 7.30 pm meeting.
Greg Palast is launching his latest book Vultures' Picnic: In Pursuit of Petroleum Pigs, Power Pirates, and High-Finance Carnivores in London on June 26th. If you want to join a Greenpeace stall there, please reply with a yes….
