Whilst this Blog is aimed mainly at Lewisham Borough Issues, the Power the Developers have with an almost cosy arrangement seems to be widespread, so reporting this i hope we can also show support for Southwark Residents whilst being on our Guard against this abuse of public office in my view by Labour councillors. They are elected to serve the residents interest, but increasingly seem to be putting Party and careeer prospects befor the interest of the voter, Hence the huge increase in support for the community political movement People Before Profit,. Should you be willing to stand on a Community People Before Profit Council Candidate in next years local election, please email me; Raymondwoolford@aol.com. or twitter @Raywoolford.
The shopping Centre Update May 2013

It
is worth remembering that the redevelopment of the shopping centre was
considered the critical element for the success of the Elephant &
Castle regeneration. It was to provide the ‘destination’ retail units
that were to attract affluent shoppers to the area, and along with
private housing would raise the general level of local prosperity. After
Southwark signed the regeneration agreement with Lend Lease in July
2010, it did consider the ‘nuclear’ option of compulsory purchase of the
shopping centre, but in the event a deal was struck with St. Modwen,
making them something like a third partner to the regeneration.
Southwark awaits the decision of its recent Compulsory Purchase Order for
of Heygate leaseholders. If it is granted, will Southwark’s success
embolden it to revisit this option for the shopping centre?

“It will be pivotal to the success of the Elephant & Castle project that it be treated as a single unified programme.”Council briefing papers 15th Sep 1999
