Brockley is getting its mural!
Meanwhile in Forest Hill…
Missed the bus me thinks.
I far prefer Lionel’s designs to the others suggested. If you’re driving, clean strong graphics are far better, and it would be nice to have a cohesive approach with our neighbours.

I feel today is a good day for a poll:
What would you like to see done to the wall under the railway bridge across the south circular in Forest Hill?
- A Mural - Nice big sign like the other areas
- A Mural - but something different for Forest Hill
- Leave it as it is

Once we have something close to a consensus we can work out the funding options.

I’m confused. Are we talking about something in the (pedestrian) underpass or something which passing motorists can see? If the latter, where would it be?
Under the railway bridge near the CoOp Robin.
We’re just waiting to see what everyone else does so Forest Hill will be the best one

Sorry, Michael’s reference to ‘the Underpass’ misled me.

I took underpass to mean the pedestrian tunnel.
Really sorry. I changed the reference to underpass. I was distracted by trying to do some work at the same time (really it does happen sometime). Do we need to restart the poll?
New thread I think would be best, but that’s just my opinion, don’t know what others think.
Unless anyone objects, I’d just leave it. I suspect most people would make the same choice whether the underpass or other area.

I think I changed my vote just by clicking the different radio button.

So do we start to work on funding options for this now & possibly put in an assembly funding application

Shall we apply for £2500 Assembly Funding from Perry Vale Ward, application deadline is Friday 15th September - we need to decide which group/organisations we apply via for the signage
"Perry Vale Assembly Fund is open
Bids are invited to Perry Vale Assembly Fund for projects that meet Perry Vale Assembly Priorities
and benefit people who LIVE, WORK OR STUDY in the ward.
You may apply for up to £2,500 and the deadline to apply is 5 pm on Friday 15th September.
Please be aware that funds are intended to support primarily community led, innovative small projects that would find it difficult to obtain funding elsewhere. Existing or repeat projects that have received funding in previous years from the Assembly are encouraged to look elsewhere.
The 2017/18 Priorities are:
Children and young people.
Unemployment and skills development.
Older people and intergenerational.
Crime and antisocial behaviour.
Environment and ecology.
In addition to meeting the priorities, applications will be assessed on whether:
they offer direct benefit to people who live, work or study in the ward
there is evidence of need for the project, and whether a similar resource exists in the ward
they are value for money
they are sustainable once assembly funding stops
alternative funding has been explored and is available.
Please find full details on the Perry Vale Assembly page of LB Lewisham’s website – at the link below:
Perry Vale Assembly Fund
If you have any questions on the Assembly Fund after reading through the application form, please feel free to contact me by reply email or on 020 8314 3830."

Sad to report that the one in Brockley has already been graffitied upon.
Can we make a decision on this, so we can get our skates on and apply for assembly funding if required.
It’s much easier to get assembly funding from Perry Vale Ward than FH Ward as less apply.
@Michael just making you aware of this post

I think there’s been enough positive comments to say yes definitely apply for assembly funding! I think the location and idea are clear
