Green Spaces & the Natural Environment Workshop

Charlton Neighbourhood Forum are pleased to invite local residents to the above workshop, on Saturday 14th October, from 11 am to 1 pm. The venue is St Richard’s Church Centre, on the corner of Sundorne Rd/Swallowfield Rd, Charlton, London SE7 7NR. The hall is an 8 mins walk from Charlton rail station and the bus stops for the 380 and 486.

The workshop is open to residents who live, work, run a business or study in Charlton. If you are not already a member, please join the Forum on the day. This workshop is a great opportunity for residents to share their views on their local environment and our existing green spaces, as well as discuss your priorities and what policies that you would want to become part of the Charlton Neighbourhood Plan.

The workshop will last 2 hours, and will be a mix of short presentations, table discussions and deciding what people feel are important ideas and actions. It will be an opportunity think about and discuss our local area and it’s green spaces and to share ideas and listen to those of other residents.

All the materials maps, pens, post-it notes and flipcharts will be available at the meeting plus well-earned refreshments. You can also meet up with some local Friends group members who are attending to offer their local knowledge about the green spaces in Charlton.

We hope you can make some time to attend the workshop to find out more about the Green Spaces of Charlton and help shape developments in the future.

Forum walk #3

Saturday July 8th, members of the Charlton Forum will be meeting in Charlton Park for our monthly forum walk, and we’d love to see you there!

The weather affected our walk in June, when a couple of members spontaneously combusted before the rest of us decided to seek shelter from the sun on health and safety grounds. However, we remain undeterred and we’ll be heading off again on Saturday on a gentle stroll down to the Thames, following the Southeast London Green Chain and towards Thames-Side Studios.  The Green Chain Walk will take us through Charlton Park, Maryon Wilson Park, Maryon Park and Moore Park.

On the way committee members will be available to answer any Neighbourhood Plan related questions, as well as hear your ideas on what you would like to see included in any such plan. Once we reach the Studios, we will turn around and walk back! At which point you are welcome to join us and continue the chat, or drop off at whatever point works for you.

Plant Sale and Community Day at Charlton House

We’re very much looking forward to having a stand at the Plant Sale and Community Day, at Charlton House on Sunday 21st May.

Organised by our friends, the Charlton and Blackheath Amateur Horticultural Society, the day will see a host of local groups coming together as well as fun for all the family and, of course, lots of lovely plants for sale!

Following on from our excellent walk last week, committee members from the Charlton Forum will again be on hand to have a chat and answer any questions you may have regarding the forum and neighbourhood plans. And most of all we are keen to hear what YOU would like to see in Charlton more – or less – in the future.
