Consultation on the proposed new rehabilitation service location on Half Moon Lane

The plan, outlined at the recent Dulwich Community Council, is for Southwark to open an adult residential service at the Holmhurst in Half Moon Lane for about 10-12 adults (in 18-50 age range).  The adults will have a range of mental health and learning disabilities and Southwark will be partnering Optima Care to provide a service of supported living at Holmhurst. All the adults are already known to Southwark and Optima Care but currently are living away from London because of the lack of facilities in Southwark itself.   The opening of the new centre will enable these adults to come back to Southwark and live near their families.   The intention is that they will be integrated into the community and will build a life as part of the Herne Hill community.

There will be three ‘community conversations’ on the proposal as follows:
- Wednesday 15 April 6:30-8:30pm 
- Saturday 18 April 2:00-5:00pm 
- Saturday 24 April 2:00-5:00pm 
Location: Methodist Church Hall, 155 Half Moon Lane SE24 9HU

Proposed Charter School East Dulwich

The Charter School Educational Trust has confirmed that it has been given the go-ahead by the Department for Education (DfE) to take the next steps to establish a new Free Secondary School to serve the East Dulwich and South Camberwell communities. The site is not confirmed but it is assumed that it will be on the East Dulwich Community Hospital site on East Dulwich Grove.

The school will be an inclusive, non-selective, non-faith, mixed school for 11-18 Year olds. Its press release says that it aims to provide an outstanding education to pupils from the local community, regardless of their starting points. It is intended that the new school will open to its first Year 7 in-take in September 2016.

North Dulwich Triangle - Controlled Parking Zone consultation?

The local residents who attended a public meeting on Thursday 12 February were overwhelmingly in favour of a controlled parking zone (CPZ) in the NDT. The implementation of CPZs from Holmdene Road westwards and by Lambeth Council from Herne Hill Road/Denmark Hill westwards has resulted in many more non-residents parking in the NDT area. The council also proposes to implement double yellow lines on all the junctions in the NDT to prevent unsafe parking – this will reduce still further the space available for parking.
 
The council has intimated that it will confirm at the next DCC meeting on 17 March that they will start a formal consultation process about introducing a CPZ in the area.
