@thirstforwine may have a point here - and I haven’t yet had the chance to chat in person to @Michael so I don’t want to get ahead of myself. But I am happy to help with promotion, discussion and fundraising in any case.

Sadly I can’t make 30th June but would be happy to chat about this or other projects that I can help with. Great start on this forum with this project.

Great input @Michael @anon5422159 @thirstforwine @Londondrz
Myself, Michael & Chris are in email contact about this, happy to add you two guys to the email if no one minds & drops me their email addresses to hit heads on ideas.
I’m a big fan of joint local projects as it gets more people involved in and working together in our community.
I think this could work in a lot of ways and just off the top of my head here’s a couple of examples:
FH Soc are working with local residents & se23.life to bring … to Forest Hill with the support of … (LC, Network Rail)
Local residents with the support of FH Soc & se23.life are working in conjunction with … to bring new street art to our community
This community art project is brought to you by…
FHTA might also be able to get involved in this, but I’ll have to chat to the rest of the exec first.
Personally I don’t think it matters who goes for assembly funding if you are passionate about the project & it benefits the community.
I have maximum funding (£2500) in place for FHFW this year which means I can bring the brochure back that I wasn’t able to do last year & we got a full house of hands at the assembly meeting which I honestly didn’t expect. @JohnRussell & Donald done the presentation with me, must say couldn’t have done it without them both!

@Michael & @anon5422159 Eddie has emailed me this morning with his number 
So everyone else knows what I’m talking about, this is the contact at Network Rail!
ETA I’ll call him this afternoon.
Latest update on this!
I’ve spoken with Ed, the contact at Network Rail & he doesn’t think there will be a problem getting permission
I’m meeting him next Monday (13th) afternoon where he’ll take lots of pics of the bridge/wall etc. These will then be looked at in detail by the appropriate people & fingers crossed we’ll be granted permission from them 
We now need to get the ball rolling with getting permission from Lewisham Council, @Michael any ideas on this or @MajaHilton & @CllrPaulUpex
I’m getting really excited about this now!

Latest update!
I met with Ed (network rail) today and it’s all good news
All that’s needed for him is a risk assessment for when the painting is being done, but Lionel (artist) already has a template for other work being done in the Lewisham Borough which can just be adapted.
Now we need to get permission from LC, I’m happy to start digging around to find out who is the best contact for this, but if anyone knows please tell as it will save me a bit of legwork

Great news, though I suspect there’s a little more than that since as well as the artwork someone will have to fix the drainage and prepare the brickwork, no?
The gutters are in need of clearing out, and probably also replacement - lots of damp caused on the walls which would ruin the artwork

It would be possible to mount artwork to the walls but cleaning that whole area would make it reasonably attractive so a two for one. Costly though unless you are happy with e and my pressure washer.

There’s two options we will have permission for, the side with the metal fence with leaks etc, and the opposite side with not much wrong with it.
This is where we thought would work best when we looked today, thoughts everyone would be good
Yes, we could all pitch in to clean this area to make it viable at no extra cost. And YEP even end up with artwork on both sides

I suspect that you will need TfL permission as it’s on a red route. I’ll look up my old contacts.

The generic addresses are either LONDONSTREETS@tfl.gov.uk or enquiries@tfl.gov.uk. I have emailed you my contacts @Pauline

Do you think we could persuade Sebastian roche to pay for a nice welcome to honor oak mural on the side of mamma dough rather than the current billboard?
