As we enter the final month of the regular season
with four home games to go, streatham are
currently top of their league and could well lift the
league championship trophy if results go their
way in march. the redhawks have just ended a
38-year trophy drought by winning the National Ice
hockey League south Cup in an emotional two-
legged win over Invicta Dynamos in the final.
an almost sold-out streatham Ice arena watched
as the team despatched their rivals from Kent 6-2
in the second leg and the celebrations went on
way into the night.
“You could see by the reaction from the fans and
the owners how much it meant to them at the end
of the game” commented streatham Captain,
michael Farn, who is no stranger to winning
trophies with his former club mK Lightning. “the
locker room is buzzing right now, and we want to
use this to spur us on to winning more silverware..
the atmosphere was incredible as it has been
at a number of games so far this year, but it was
particularly special when that buzzer went.”
streatham welcome Bracknell, Chelmsford,
Oxford and romford to the high road over the
next few weeks. It’s an exciting time to support
the RedHawks, so check the fixtures in our
What’s On section and get down to the rink and

maria elisabeth Dickin, 22 september
1870- 1 March 1951 founded The
People’s Dispensary for sick animals.
The 1901 census records Maria and
her husband henry, an accountant,
and one servant living at 12 mount
Nod road, streatham. the couple had
no children and owned a pet dog.
maria was a practising spiritualist and
became active in the revived movement for
religious healing. she began visiting the poor in
the east end, where the plight of some of the
animals ‘made me indescribably miserable’. at
about this time she went through the ‘heartrending’
experience of nursing her sick dog, which eventually
had to be put down. She was horrified by the terrible
poverty she witnessed and the sick and injured pets
in desperate need of veterinary care. Dogs and cats
scavenged from the gutters, many raw with mange
and dragging broken limbs because their owners
simply couldn’t afford to pay for treatment.
maria borrowed a 13ft-square basement
in Whitechapel to open her first dispensary
and recruited an experienced animal practitioner
who had attended the pets of royalty. On saturday
17 November 1917, she opened The People’s
Dispensary for sick animals of the Poor, providing
a free service for pets in need. the day’s patients
included a cat with mange, a dog with a broken leg
and a limping donkey. Today the PDSA operates 48
hospitals providing treatment to nearly 500,000
pets a year.
In 1943 Maria established the Dicken Medal for
any animal “displaying conspicuous gallantry or
devotion to duty whilst serving with the British
Commonwealth armed Forces or civil emergency
services”. The first recipient of the bronze medal,
inscribed with the words “For Gallantry” and “We
also serve”, was a pigeon called White Vision which
had battled bad weather over 60 miles to deliver a
message that led to the rescue of a ditched aircrew.
to date the “Victoria Cross for animals” has been
awarded 68 times to 32 pigeons, 31 dogs, four
horses and a cat.
streatham has a recipient of the Dickin medal. On
the 3 July 1944, Olga, a police horse, was on patrol
in Besley street with PC J e thwaites when a bomb
exploded 300 feet in front of them. the explosion
destroyed 4 houses, killing 4 people and caused a
plate glass window to fall directly in front of Olga. PC
thwaites, mounted on Olga, administered help to
the survivors and diverted sightseers away from the
devastation.
Maria Dickin died 1 March 1951 aged 80. However,
for many years her role in promoting animal welfare
was largely forgotten until in 2015 a campaign
to honour her work led to the unveiling of a
commemorative blue plaque by english heritage on
the house where she was born in hackney.

Over the last year we have seen
both the Government and the media
recognise the important role that local
businesses have in our communities.
Not only do our high roads offer retail
and leisure opportunities but they act
as important hubs that facilitate oppor-
tunities for people to meet, share and
connect.
Luckily for us, on top of paying their
business rates, over 500 Streatham
businesses choose to pay an addition-
al levy which funds InStreatham, a not
for profit organisation, that has been
making Streatham the best it can be at
the heart of its operations. Everything
we deliver is additional to the local
council and you can learn more about
what this business investment has done
for your town over the last year below.
It’s been proven that by shifting a
portion of your spending to indepen-
dent locally-owned businesses, you can
have a big effect on your local economy
delivering benefits such as creating
local jobs, improving the quality of the
offering and boosting investment.
So that’s why we’re asking you to
pledge to shop locally this month
and support the businesses that are
investing in our great community.

Anthony Gold solicitor Imogen Flynn answers some FAQs surounding
wills and probate.
Wills & Probate FAQs
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (“LPA”) is a document used
to appoint another person or people to make decisions
for you if you are unable to do so yourself. These
people are known as “attorneys”. There are two types
of LPA, one which relates to property and financial
affairs and one which relates to health and welfare.
An LPA relating to property and financial affairs
allows your attorneys to deal with your finances,
for example to pay your bills, sell or buy property
or investments and operate your bank accounts.
An LPA relating to health and welfare allows your
attorneys to make decisions about matters such
as your medical treatment, your diet, where you
live and how you spend your time. There is also
the option to give your attorneys the power to
make decisions about life-sustaining treatment,
but you do not have to give them this power.
What could happen if I don’t make a Lasting
Power of Attorney?
If you don’t make an LPA while you have capacity
and you lose capacity to make decisions for yourself
or manage your finances then someone will need
to make an application to be appointed as your
Deputy. The process is more expensive and takes
longer than making an LPA yourself, as someone is
making the application on your behalf at the Court
of Protection. The Court will take a number of factors
into consideration when deciding if the person
who has made the application is a suitable Deputy.
Why do I need a Will and what happens if I
don’t have one?
By making a Will you can make sure your assets pass
to the people (or charities) you want. You also appoint
executors in a Will, that is, the people you want to
deal with your estate. Broadly speaking, that involves
applying for a Grant of Probate and settling any
inheritance tax, setting liabilities and collecting in
the assets (which could include selling property) and
distributingtheestate.IfyoudonothaveaWill,thenyour
estate will be divided according to the intestacy rules.
How do I choose an executor?
It is important to choose executors carefully. It is
advisable to appoint two executors (or more, but no
more than four), or include a substitute appointment,
should something happen to one of them before you
and you don’t have a chance to change your Will. You
should ensure the people you choose have the right
skillstodealwiththeadministrationof yourestateand
are capable of dealing with paperwork. Dealing with
an estate can be time consuming, and the process can
take a long time, especially if there is property to sell or
inheritancetaxtopay.If executorsmakeamistakethen
they can incur personal liability, so you may wish to
consider appointing a professional, such as solicitors.
You can appoint Anthony Gold as your executors.
Is a Grant of Probate always required?
If the person who has died has assets in their sole name
then a Grant will be required to collect these assets in
order to distribute them under the terms of the Will
or intestacy rules. A Grant may not be required if the
estate only consists of jointly owned assets which pass
automatically by survivorship or if there is only small
amounts of cash in the deceased’s bank accounts. It
is important to note there may still be inheritance
tax to pay, even if the assets pass by survivorship.
What are the current rules on inheritance
tax?
There isn’t any inheritance tax to pay on the first
£325,000, the nil rate band. Anything over this is taxed
at 40%. If you own a qualifying residence at the date
of your death and this passes to direct descendants,
such as children or grandchildren, then your estate
will also benefit from the residence nil rate band. This
is currently £150,000, but is increasing to £175,000
in April. Assets left to a spouse or civil partner are
exempt from inheritance tax, and the nil rate band
of the first spouse to die is carried forward to the
second death, provided this is not used up on legacies
or residue left to other beneficiaries. The residence
nil rate band is also transferable between spouses.

Save Streatham Hill Theatre
The Friends of Streatham
Hill Theatre have launched
a crowdfunding campaign to
save this magnificent building
for the community. The theatre
was granted a Grade 2 listing
in 1994 and it is near the top
of the Theatres’ Trust Theatres
at Risk list.
In 2018, Lambeth Council
approved The Friends’
nomination of Streatham
Hill Theatre as an Asset of
Community Value (ACV),
which was then appealed by
the owners. After a flashmob
demonstration of support by
over 1000 people in November
2018, ACV status was
confirmed in early 2019.
Friends’ Chairman, David
Harvey, says “There is no
local creative hub on the
scale that could be created
by reawakening this amazing
empty theatre – it’s the only
building left in Streatham large
enough for the community to
come together.” The Theatres’
Trust has given Streatham Hill
Theatre its highest ranking
for community value and
potential use for performance.
The Friends of Streatham
Hill Theatre propose a
multi-use arts and cultural
centre by re-opening the
auditorium, bringing back live
performance, and activating
ancillary spaces to create a
vibrant and sustainable venue.
The first step is to fund a
viability study developing
proposals and options. It will
include revenue, modelling,
and restoration and
reopening costs. Lambeth
Council’s Investment and
Growth Strategy for Streatham
commits the council to
“exploring opportunities for
Streatham Hill Theatre”

streatham action
Public meeting
The horrific terrorist attack of 2nd February in
our beloved Streatham has left many in shock
and seeking answers.
streatham action held a Public meeting at
the Hideaway on 19th February chaired by
Charles Hymas, home affairs editor of the
telegraph and local resident. Panel members
were Superintendent Ian Howells of Lambeth
met Police, Bell Ribiero-Addy MP, Kilvinder
Vigurs, Divisional Director of the National
Probation service (NPs), London; Mary Pilgrim,
head of Public Protection; Annie Hudson,
Lambeth strategic Director for Community
safety and Cllr Mohammed Seedat, Lambeth
Cabinet member for Community safety. the
seniority of people on the panel is testament
to how seriously residents’ concerns are being
taken by the organisations involved.
the meeting was well-attended and calm,
with plenty of opportunity for members of the
public to ask questions. With investigations
ongoing, particulars of this incident could not
be discussed. While no new information was
revealed, it emerged that Councils are not
necessarily informed when dangerous criminals
are placed in their areas because they are not
statutory participants in the multi-agency Public
Protection arrangements (maPPa).
Jack hopkins, Leader of Lambeth Council, has
written to home secretary, Priti Patel, asking
why streatham residents “were put in harm’s
way” because a very dangerous convicted
terrorist was placed in approved Premises in
Leigham Court rd. the other Lambeth approved
Premise is in tulse hill (Lambeth has 2 out of
the 12 in London), and both are run by a charity,
hestia Ltd.
The incident has raised many crucial
questions and prompted rapid reforms;
the Terrorist Offenders Bill is being rushed
through Parliament as we publish.

Streatham locals
took to the High
Road on Saturday
8th February to
demonstrate love,
hope and unity less
than a week after
the terror attack
which shook our
community.
Immediately after the incident
on Sunday 2nd February,
news of the attack and
shocking images of our High
Road headlined national
and international media.
Social media channels were
busy with Streatham locals
checking in on loved ones
and sharing their shock at
the events that had unfolded.
What was unseen by the
world’s media, was the instant
desire to come together
and show that this act of
terror would not fracture our
community or breed hatred
for others. Over coffee,
on WhatsApp, Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter, local
people were beginning to plan
their stand against hatred.
Here was a beautiful, organic
response; that grew quickly
through the strength of
community and networks that
already existed.
Around 150 people met at
St Leonard/s Church to learn
songs led by choir directors
Zoie Kennedy and Xenia Davis,
before processing up the High
Road, singing, “peace, there’s
only peace, there’s only
peace”. Ann-Marie Lugay, who
took official photographs of the
event said, “I felt emotional,
I had to hold back tears as we
all left the church singing.”
One local resident posted on
social media, “Proud to be
in Streatham this morning.
♥️ procession of singers
‘reclaiming’ the high street.
Thank you. Very moving.”
Throughout the day, hundreds
of messages were written
in chalk outside the Odeon,
creating a visual symbol of the
love that is found in Streatham.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,
arrived, thanking attending
police officers for their tireless
work following the terror attack.
Speaking to the crowd, he
praised the spirit of the day,
“You set an example to other
parts of our city, other parts of
our country, and other parts
of the world, because you are
a beacon, and I want to thank
you from the bottom of my
heart… There are some people
around the world who think
diversity is a weakness, I think
the opposite, I think diversity
is a strength, and Streatham
you have shown the world
that.” Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP
also delivered a moving speech
praising the police and the
community spirit.
Streatham showed a united
front as the public bowed their
heads and were led in prayer by
leaders from Jewish, Christian
and Muslim congregations. A
community spokesperson Umar
Mahmood said, “This was an
amazing show of community
solidarity.”
Organiser Georgia Ladbury
summed up the day: “it was
a great opportunity to show
that Streatham Stands
Together no matter what.”

a23 streatham hill
healthy streets
scheme
Transport for London (TfL),
together with Lambeth
Council, would like to know
your views on proposals to
transform the road network
and public environment
at the A23 Streatham Hill,
between Sternhold Avenue
and Holmewood Road.
Full information on the
proposals are available
on our website at tfl.gov.
uk/streatham-hill and the
consultation is open for
comment until Sunday 22
March 2020.
the proposed scheme will
make it easier, safer and more
pleasant for people to cycle
and walk and would provide
benefits for all street users in
the area. Our proposals are an
important part of the mayor of
London's transport strategy,
are guided by our healthy
streets approach, and are an
important part of our Walking
and Cycling action Plans. they
also directly contribute to
our Vision Zero target to stop
people from dying and being
seriously injured on London’s
road network by 2041.
We have worked with local
stakeholders and communities
in the area to develop
proposals which provide
benefits for all street users in
the area and are proposing
a number of features along
the route to make it safer and
more pleasant for people who
cycle and walk, whilst keeping
buses running on time.
to complement this scheme,
we have been working
with Lambeth Council to
investigate creating a low
traffic neighbourhood in the
residential areas to the east
of the a23. this will protect
local streets from being used
by through traffic. Further
details will be available to view
and comment on from the 22
February when the webpage
bit.ly/streathamhillLtN goes
live.
the scheme includes some
significant changes and
various small changes to the
street layouts such as:
• High quality segregated
cycle lanes throughout
the extents of the scheme
to improve safety and
encourage more to cycle
• Straight-across pedestrian
crossings relocated to
where people want to
walk and cross the road,
including 2 new pedestrian
crossings and zebra
crossings to cross the
cycle lane to signalised
pedestrian crossings across
the main carriageway
• Bus lanes maintained
or implemented, and
operational hours extended
to between 7am-7pm
monday to saturday
throughout the scheme
• 20mph speed limit to
improve safety for those
who walk or cycle, and to
reduce traffic dominance in
the area
• Relocation of some bus
stops and the introduction
of bus stop bypasses
• Changes to side road
access including
restrictions and closures,
redesign and resurfacing.
this is to assist in both the
relocation of the pedestrian
crossings and to reduce
conflict between those
cycling and vehicles turning
New coloured surfacingd
32 | heart streatham
• New traffic signals at the
telford avenue junction to
enable buses to safely exit
the bus garage and to allow
for the introduction of 2
new signalised pedestrian
crossings. this will provide
people with a safe place
to cross and allow those
cycling to move through
the junction while any
conflicting traffic is held
• Improvements to public
urban realm throughout the
route, unlocking areas by
removing central brick build
planters and planting of
new trees and landscaping
• Changes to some parking
and loading provision. We
have sought to provide
adequate parking and
loading to match demand,
however in order to deliver
the scheme, and promote
sustainable transport usage
whilst retaining bus lanes,
we are proposing to reduce
the number of loading and
parking bays
Please check the map
attached and visit our website,
tfl.gov.uk/streatham-hill for
full information on changes
to side road access from the
a23 and details of changes
to parking and loading
provisions. the website also
includes information on
traffic modelling, our ‘Healthy
streets’ check and equality
impact assessment. You will
also find on the website useful
information such as alternative
suggested routings where
access changes are proposed
We will be holding public drop-
in sessions where you can
view the proposals, speak to
members of the project team
and ask questions. Details are
as follows:
Thursday 27 February,
10:30 - 18:45 streatham tate

It’s an exciting time to support the RedHawks, so check the fixtures in our What’s On section and get down to the rink and cheer them on!

  • 12. 12 | heart streatham maria elisabeth Dickin, 22 september 1870- 1 March 1951 founded The People’s Dispensary for sick animals. The 1901 census records Maria and her husband henry, an accountant, and one servant living at 12 mount Nod road, streatham. the couple had no children and owned a pet dog. maria was a practising spiritualist and became active in the revived movement for religious healing. she began visiting the poor in the east end, where the plight of some of the animals ‘made me indescribably miserable’. at about this time she went through the ‘heartrending’ experience of nursing her sick dog, which eventually had to be put down. She was horrified by the terrible poverty she witnessed and the sick and injured pets in desperate need of veterinary care. Dogs and cats scavenged from the gutters, many raw with mange and dragging broken limbs because their owners simply couldn’t afford to pay for treatment. maria borrowed a 13ft-square basement in Whitechapel to open her first dispensary and recruited an experienced animal practitioner who had attended the pets of royalty. On saturday 17 November 1917, she opened The People’s Dispensary for sick animals of the Poor, providing a free service for pets in need. the day’s patients included a cat with mange, a dog with a broken leg and a limping donkey. Today the PDSA operates 48 hospitals providing treatment to nearly 500,000 pets a year. In 1943 Maria established the Dicken Medal for any animal “displaying conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty whilst serving with the British Commonwealth armed Forces or civil emergency services”. The first recipient of the bronze medal, inscribed with the words “For Gallantry” and “We also serve”, was a pigeon called White Vision which had battled bad weather over 60 miles to deliver a message that led to the rescue of a ditched aircrew. to date the “Victoria Cross for animals” has been awarded 68 times to 32 pigeons, 31 dogs, four horses and a cat. streatham has a recipient of the Dickin medal. On the 3 July 1944, Olga, a police horse, was on patrol in Besley street with PC J e thwaites when a bomb exploded 300 feet in front of them. the explosion destroyed 4 houses, killing 4 people and caused a plate glass window to fall directly in front of Olga. PC thwaites, mounted on Olga, administered help to the survivors and diverted sightseers away from the devastation. Maria Dickin died 1 March 1951 aged 80. However, for many years her role in promoting animal welfare was largely forgotten until in 2015 a campaign to honour her work led to the unveiling of a commemorative blue plaque by english heritage on the house where she was born in hackney.

  • 16. Anthony Gold solicitor Imogen Flynn answers some FAQs surounding wills and probate. Wills & Probate FAQs What is a Lasting Power of Attorney? A Lasting Power of Attorney (“LPA”) is a document used to appoint another person or people to make decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. These people are known as “attorneys”. There are two types of LPA, one which relates to property and financial affairs and one which relates to health and welfare. An LPA relating to property and financial affairs allows your attorneys to deal with your finances, for example to pay your bills, sell or buy property or investments and operate your bank accounts. An LPA relating to health and welfare allows your attorneys to make decisions about matters such as your medical treatment, your diet, where you live and how you spend your time. There is also the option to give your attorneys the power to make decisions about life-sustaining treatment, but you do not have to give them this power. What could happen if I don’t make a Lasting Power of Attorney? If you don’t make an LPA while you have capacity and you lose capacity to make decisions for yourself or manage your finances then someone will need to make an application to be appointed as your Deputy. The process is more expensive and takes longer than making an LPA yourself, as someone is making the application on your behalf at the Court of Protection. The Court will take a number of factors into consideration when deciding if the person who has made the application is a suitable Deputy. Why do I need a Will and what happens if I don’t have one? By making a Will you can make sure your assets pass to the people (or charities) you want. You also appoint executors in a Will, that is, the people you want to deal with your estate. Broadly speaking, that involves applying for a Grant of Probate and settling any inheritance tax, setting liabilities and collecting in the assets (which could include selling property) and distributingtheestate.IfyoudonothaveaWill,thenyour estate will be divided according to the intestacy rules. How do I choose an executor? It is important to choose executors carefully. It is advisable to appoint two executors (or more, but no more than four), or include a substitute appointment, should something happen to one of them before you and you don’t have a chance to change your Will. You should ensure the people you choose have the right skillstodealwiththeadministrationof yourestateand are capable of dealing with paperwork. Dealing with an estate can be time consuming, and the process can take a long time, especially if there is property to sell or inheritancetaxtopay.If executorsmakeamistakethen they can incur personal liability, so you may wish to consider appointing a professional, such as solicitors. You can appoint Anthony Gold as your executors. Is a Grant of Probate always required? If the person who has died has assets in their sole name then a Grant will be required to collect these assets in order to distribute them under the terms of the Will or intestacy rules. A Grant may not be required if the estate only consists of jointly owned assets which pass automatically by survivorship or if there is only small amounts of cash in the deceased’s bank accounts. It is important to note there may still be inheritance tax to pay, even if the assets pass by survivorship. What are the current rules on inheritance tax? There isn’t any inheritance tax to pay on the first £325,000, the nil rate band. Anything over this is taxed at 40%. If you own a qualifying residence at the date of your death and this passes to direct descendants, such as children or grandchildren, then your estate will also benefit from the residence nil rate band. This is currently £150,000, but is increasing to £175,000 in April. Assets left to a spouse or civil partner are exempt from inheritance tax, and the nil rate band of the first spouse to die is carried forward to the second death, provided this is not used up on legacies or residue left to other beneficiaries. The residence nil rate band is also transferable between spouses.

  • 17. heart streatham | 17 Save Streatham Hill Theatre The Friends of Streatham Hill Theatre have launched a crowdfunding campaign to save this magnificent building for the community. The theatre was granted a Grade 2 listing in 1994 and it is near the top of the Theatres’ Trust Theatres at Risk list. In 2018, Lambeth Council approved The Friends’ nomination of Streatham Hill Theatre as an Asset of Community Value (ACV), which was then appealed by the owners. After a flashmob demonstration of support by over 1000 people in November 2018, ACV status was confirmed in early 2019. Friends’ Chairman, David Harvey, says “There is no local creative hub on the scale that could be created by reawakening this amazing empty theatre – it’s the only building left in Streatham large enough for the community to come together.” The Theatres’ Trust has given Streatham Hill Theatre its highest ranking for community value and potential use for performance. The Friends of Streatham Hill Theatre propose a multi-use arts and cultural centre by re-opening the auditorium, bringing back live performance, and activating ancillary spaces to create a vibrant and sustainable venue. The first step is to fund a viability study developing proposals and options. It will include revenue, modelling, and restoration and reopening costs. Lambeth Council’s Investment and Growth Strategy for Streatham commits the council to “exploring opportunities for Streatham Hill Theatre” The Spacehive crowdfunding page is at save. streathamhilltheatre.org The Streatham Society has published a book about the theatre by John Cresswell streathamsociety.org.uk
  • 18. 18 | heart streatham streatham action Public meeting The horrific terrorist attack of 2nd February in our beloved Streatham has left many in shock and seeking answers. streatham action held a Public meeting at the Hideaway on 19th February chaired by Charles Hymas, home affairs editor of the telegraph and local resident. Panel members were Superintendent Ian Howells of Lambeth met Police, Bell Ribiero-Addy MP, Kilvinder Vigurs, Divisional Director of the National Probation service (NPs), London; Mary Pilgrim, head of Public Protection; Annie Hudson, Lambeth strategic Director for Community safety and Cllr Mohammed Seedat, Lambeth Cabinet member for Community safety. the seniority of people on the panel is testament to how seriously residents’ concerns are being taken by the organisations involved. the meeting was well-attended and calm, with plenty of opportunity for members of the public to ask questions. With investigations ongoing, particulars of this incident could not be discussed. While no new information was revealed, it emerged that Councils are not necessarily informed when dangerous criminals are placed in their areas because they are not statutory participants in the multi-agency Public Protection arrangements (maPPa). Jack hopkins, Leader of Lambeth Council, has written to home secretary, Priti Patel, asking why streatham residents “were put in harm’s way” because a very dangerous convicted terrorist was placed in approved Premises in Leigham Court rd. the other Lambeth approved Premise is in tulse hill (Lambeth has 2 out of the 12 in London), and both are run by a charity, hestia Ltd. The incident has raised many crucial questions and prompted rapid reforms; the Terrorist Offenders Bill is being rushed through Parliament as we publish. Charles Hymas and Panel

  • 20. 20 | heart streatham Streatham locals took to the High Road on Saturday 8th February to demonstrate love, hope and unity less than a week after the terror attack which shook our community. Immediately after the incident on Sunday 2nd February, news of the attack and shocking images of our High Road headlined national and international media. Social media channels were busy with Streatham locals checking in on loved ones and sharing their shock at the events that had unfolded. What was unseen by the world’s media, was the instant desire to come together and show that this act of terror would not fracture our community or breed hatred for others. Over coffee, on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, local people were beginning to plan their stand against hatred. Here was a beautiful, organic response; that grew quickly through the strength of community and networks that already existed. Around 150 people met at St Leonard/s Church to learn songs led by choir directors Zoie Kennedy and Xenia Davis, before processing up the High Road, singing, “peace, there’s only peace, there’s only peace”. Ann-Marie Lugay, who took official photographs of the event said, “I felt emotional, I had to hold back tears as we all left the church singing.” One local resident posted on social media, “Proud to be in Streatham this morning. ♥️ procession of singers ‘reclaiming’ the high street. Thank you. Very moving.” Throughout the day, hundreds of messages were written in chalk outside the Odeon, creating a visual symbol of the love that is found in Streatham. Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, arrived, thanking attending police officers for their tireless work following the terror attack. Speaking to the crowd, he praised the spirit of the day, “You set an example to other parts of our city, other parts of our country, and other parts of the world, because you are a beacon, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart… There are some people around the world who think diversity is a weakness, I think the opposite, I think diversity is a strength, and Streatham you have shown the world that.” Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP also delivered a moving speech praising the police and the community spirit. Streatham showed a united front as the public bowed their heads and were led in prayer by leaders from Jewish, Christian and Muslim congregations. A community spokesperson Umar Mahmood said, “This was an amazing show of community solidarity.” Organiser Georgia Ladbury summed up the day: “it was a great opportunity to show that Streatham Stands Together no matter what.” Streatham Stands Together

  • 31. heart streatham | 31 a23 streatham hill healthy streets scheme Transport for London (TfL), together with Lambeth Council, would like to know your views on proposals to transform the road network and public environment at the A23 Streatham Hill, between Sternhold Avenue and Holmewood Road. Full information on the proposals are available on our website at tfl.gov. uk/streatham-hill and the consultation is open for comment until Sunday 22 March 2020. the proposed scheme will make it easier, safer and more pleasant for people to cycle and walk and would provide benefits for all street users in the area. Our proposals are an important part of the mayor of London's transport strategy, are guided by our healthy streets approach, and are an important part of our Walking and Cycling action Plans. they also directly contribute to our Vision Zero target to stop people from dying and being seriously injured on London’s road network by 2041. We have worked with local stakeholders and communities in the area to develop proposals which provide benefits for all street users in the area and are proposing a number of features along the route to make it safer and more pleasant for people who cycle and walk, whilst keeping buses running on time. to complement this scheme, we have been working with Lambeth Council to investigate creating a low traffic neighbourhood in the residential areas to the east of the a23. this will protect local streets from being used by through traffic. Further details will be available to view and comment on from the 22 February when the webpage bit.ly/streathamhillLtN goes live. the scheme includes some significant changes and various small changes to the street layouts such as: • High quality segregated cycle lanes throughout the extents of the scheme to improve safety and encourage more to cycle • Straight-across pedestrian crossings relocated to where people want to walk and cross the road, including 2 new pedestrian crossings and zebra crossings to cross the cycle lane to signalised pedestrian crossings across the main carriageway • Bus lanes maintained or implemented, and operational hours extended to between 7am-7pm monday to saturday throughout the scheme • 20mph speed limit to improve safety for those who walk or cycle, and to reduce traffic dominance in the area • Relocation of some bus stops and the introduction of bus stop bypasses • Changes to side road access including restrictions and closures, redesign and resurfacing. this is to assist in both the relocation of the pedestrian crossings and to reduce conflict between those cycling and vehicles turning New coloured surfacingd
  • 32. 32 | heart streatham • New traffic signals at the telford avenue junction to enable buses to safely exit the bus garage and to allow for the introduction of 2 new signalised pedestrian crossings. this will provide people with a safe place to cross and allow those cycling to move through the junction while any conflicting traffic is held • Improvements to public urban realm throughout the route, unlocking areas by removing central brick build planters and planting of new trees and landscaping • Changes to some parking and loading provision. We have sought to provide adequate parking and loading to match demand, however in order to deliver the scheme, and promote sustainable transport usage whilst retaining bus lanes, we are proposing to reduce the number of loading and parking bays Please check the map attached and visit our website, tfl.gov.uk/streatham-hill for full information on changes to side road access from the a23 and details of changes to parking and loading provisions. the website also includes information on traffic modelling, our ‘Healthy streets’ check and equality impact assessment. You will also find on the website useful information such as alternative suggested routings where access changes are proposed We will be holding public drop- in sessions where you can view the proposals, speak to members of the project team and ask questions.
