In the #SixNations at #Twickenham, it ends ENG 25 - 21 WAL



If England win today in front of a crowd of 81,000, and France lose to Scotland at Murrayfield tomorrow, then the title is theirs.

We know that Wales can’t win it today, however, if they beat England, they'd only need to beat Italy to take a fourth title.

Anthony Watson's try made it his tenth for England.

England are on the verge of winning the Triple Crown.

And it's a try and conversion for Wales at 54 minutes in bringing the score to ENG 19 7 WAL.

Another conversion by Owen Farrell at 67 minutes in means it's ENG 25 7 WAL.

At 71 minutes, Chris Robshaw is off.

An alleged incident of foul play by Wales following a scrum is being reviewed.

Wales score a try and conversion at 74 minutes in, making it ENG 25 14 WAL.

And England wins the Triple Crown, beating Wales in a nail biting finish 25-21

Man's long lost scooter tracked down on Facebook



A life-long scooter enthusiast who had his 1961 Lambretta stolen from his driveway has had most of it returned, albeit in pieces, thanks to his scooter fraternity friends who tracked the whereabouts of his beloved scooter on Facebook.

82 year old Marshall Swonnell, had his scooter stolen from his home in Stoneleigh Road in Carshalton, overnight on Monday.

When he awoke the following morning, Marshall, who is known as 'Chuckles the Legend' for his love of scooters was devastated to find his machine had gone.

But Marshall's scootering colleagues used social media to search for any references to his distinctive coloured scooter, which he had bought brand new in 1961 for £189.

The trail led to the South coast and then to an alleyway in Penge where most of the scooter was found and has since been returned to Marshall.

He has laid out all the parts in his front room ready to put them back together again in time for the Euro Lambretta rally in Germany in June.

Save Our Fairfield campaigners issue open letter to Croydon's councillors

The move follows an invitation to attend a public meeting about the issue of the closure of Fairfield Halls for two years from July, for refurbishment.

The campaign group says it has received no formal reply on the matter, and is intending to host a public meeting.

When we approached Croydon council for a statement about the proposed re-development, we were told to contact Fairfield Ltd, which we have been unable to reach.

Some listeners have told us, that they are still able to book tickets for concerts scheduled after the proposed closure date, and they are awaiting refunds.

Below is a copy of the letter written on Tuesday.

An Open Letter to Cllr Newman and Croydon Council.
From Andy Hylton ‘Save Our Fairfield’ Campaign.

Dear Cllr Newman.

Following my recent request for a public meeting to discuss the future plans for the Fairfield Halls development, I
have received no official reply from neither yourself or Cllr Godfrey. It is regretful that this issue was not seen as
‘major’ enough within the town to warrant a meeting, where local residents, community groups and staff would be
able to have their concerns addressed, in accordance with your commitment to 'openness and transparency’.
With seemingly no opportunity for public discussion or appeal, we are about to lose the Fairfield Halls by stealth.
Once closed, it is difficult to say for definite whether it would ever be reopened. Simon Thomsett the Fairfield CEO
has said as much, so have others in the entertainment and venue management industry.
Whilst I fully welcome the proposed £30m spend on this much needed refurbishment, I urge the council to rethink
the extraordinary decision they are taking to fully close it for at least two years, and to look at the impact on
Croydon that the closure will have. I have severe concerns at the council’s plans to close Fairfield Halls for two
years for refurbishment, rather than the phased approach which Fairfield Halls themselves and many others favour.
Fairfield (Croydon) Ltd have their own plan, which would cost a lot less than £30m, and will keep the venue open
for the community during refurbishment. The venue has been running at an increasing rate of success over the last
years and this continuity has allowed them to continue to reduce historic debt and bring down subsidy levels.
Due to the Mott MacDonald report being repressed, part of the problem here is lack of information, so I can only
hazard a guess at exactly what negative aspects of a full closure are contained in the Mott MacDonald report.
Let us look at the figures. The figure ‘thrown’ around of an extra £4.8m for construction costs from a phased
scheme has not been publicly verified. Then there is a supposed extra £3.2m of running costs during phasing on top
of that. How this figure has been calculated is not entirely clear, as to base this on current running costs of a fully
functioning building would not be correct. It stands to reason that if a large chunk of the building is out of use and
handed over to builders then there would be no running costs for that area, thus less utility bills, insurance
payments etc. Equally, less programme would require less staff. In the phased option the majority of redundancies
would be by choice,or natural wastage.
We do not know what the true costs of closing the building, making everyone redundant and then reopening from
scratch will be.
Re-staffing will be extremely costly, requiring specialist recruitment and recruitment consultants. Those staff will
require specialist training in some cases and at least a period to train in the venue itself. Remember that everyone
who currently works at the Fairfield Halls will lose their jobs in July.
If the venue is to be run by a commercial operator then there would also be no volunteer corps of stewards to
reduce costs and provide a community charitable connection. This volunteer corps is made up of men and women
from 17 to 93 years and was originally created before the Fairfield Halls were built in 1962. A detail of Croydon
history soon to be lost forever.
A huge marketing campaign would be needed to get the audiences back and a huge programming budget to get the
shows back. We don’t know how all this corresponds to the supposed £8m phased figure.
Could the closure and re-opening end up costing far in excess to tax payers that the costs of a phased development?
Is this giving tax payers value for money?
This needs to be debated in a public meeting so a clear understanding of the advantages/disadvantages s of both
approaches can be clearly stated. Only then can this be fully scrutinised and we will all be able to see what is
clearly in the public interests of Croydon.
What is the council’s operational plan and strategy for the venue when it reopens?
Given that orchestral programmes are booked often two years in advance - due to the commitments of the various
orchestras – surely you need an operator and plan in action from before the day Fairfield closes? Equally, fixtures,
fittings and equipment are essential to get right in a multi-function space like Fairfield. Only the operator can
know what is required and how it is likely to be used.
Then there are the practical questions. What is Croydon to do during the two year closure? What are the council’s
interim plans to replace the lost capacity of these three professionally equipped venues, and various smaller
spaces?
As a casual technician at Fairfield Halls, I know many of the full time technicians are very sceptical both of the
designs themselves and of the works being completed properly so that the finished product is efficient and fully
functional. Many have contacts elsewhere in the industry, where refurbishments at other venues have left the
operational technicians having to patch up and create work-arounds for bad design or bad implementation during
the construction phase,due to lack of consultation with operational staff throughout the whole process until
completion. Many of these professionals fear that these works will proceed with no logistical operational minds on
hand to compliment the theoretical and ultimately less operational minds of the architects and theatre
consultants. This alone is a practical reason to favour a phased refurbishment to keep the knowledgeable staff on
site.
Another major issue is thatFairfield trains up apprentices, further adding to the value it provides the community.
These apprentices will be half way through their courses and are very worried about how this will affect them.
Where will they go? Other theatres which may be able to take them are a much further commute for them and the
mere fact all this is happening is bound to affect their learning. Fairfield is a specialist venue, it can’t simply re-locate to a new location, nor can the staff be moved to another branch. The only option with full closure is full
redundancies – unless meantime activities are possible – and with redundancies in a place like Fairfield you lose all
the passion, knowledge and specialist skills to other venues outside the borough. It will be difficult to get them
back.
You then have the loss of visitors to the town when Fairfield closes. Last year over 170,000 people went to ticketed
live performance events at Fairfield alone. That doesn’t include films or any other uses of the building apparently.
That would imply that there are over 200,000 visitors to Fairfield. Their input to the Croydon economy is £2m per
year according to the Fairfield Annual Report. If you phase the refurbishment you can maintain a good chunk of
this. If you close for two years that is completely gone. I doubt the remaining arts & culture venues in Croydon
could possibly get up to even a third of that figure whilst soaking up the lost capacity. Fairfield’s audience is
growing at the moment, they have momentum since they upgraded their box office and website. A phased approach
will keep the audiences in the habit of coming to Croydon to see shows. Closing now would lose all that. If the
charity closes then all the customer data goes with them. Again, adding to the costs of starting from scratch.
The building is perfect for a phased approach. The way it is designed helps split the three venues; Concert Hall,
Ashcroft Theatre and Arnhem Gallery. With work done during a much shorter closure, the electrics, water and
heating etc can be re-routed to allow each venue to operate independently. During this time essential works, like
replacing the boilers and removing asbestos can also be done. Much asbestos removal has already been done
without need for closure. Then, once that is complete, one or two venues can re-open whilst work continues in the
other(s) and then alternate over however long it takes 12–18 months per venue.
This is a true phased approach and this is why we need the full Mott MacDonald report published immediately, to
answer all these financial questions and show us what the negative side to the Council’s plans are.
Close down the Fairfield Halls for more than two years and you lose everything that has gone before. You lose the
people who are emotionally invested in it, the skills of the people who currently work there, the loyal audiences
who support it, the talented artists who play there. You lose the enthusiastic children and the schools who use the
venueto enrich the lives of their children and to teach our young people about cultural arts. Remember it wasn’t
so long ago that the streets of Croydon were burning and the venue has been home for many community events and
for disadvantaged young people. Fairfield Halls is not just about classical music.
Arts and culture are vital to a community’s wellbeing. We need it to lift us out of day-to-day life, to teach our
children about music and drama, to take out minds elsewhere. To challenge and to delight. At a simple level, all
this is provided, for example, by going to watch popular entertainment such as the pantomime each year.
Pantomime is often a child’s first introduction to a live performance, in a professional venue, with production
standards equal to any West End tour. This is true popular entertainment, drawing diverse audiences from across
the Borough and across all social classes and all ages.
Where will our children go to see a pantomime this year? There are simply not enough other venues in Croydon to
take up the capacity – and they do not have the facilities. The council would need to invest to bring them up to

We already have a deep connection and strong cultural bond within the community and our schools. Two years is a
long time in a child’s development. This plan could see the Fairfield Halls closed for much longer. Please remember
that a whole generation of Croydon school children may have the very special access to culture and the arts at
Fairfield Hals, taken away from them, with no alternative plans offered.
Croydon Council, If you truly care about the children and the future welfare of this town, and you truly want to
revitalise the borough's cultural offer through this redevelopment of Fairfield Halls, I strongly urge you to please re-consider this decision to close the Fairfield Halls down.Let us keep music, arts and theatre alive at the Fairfield
Halls during a phased development, and put into action these exciting plans for the benefit of the current
population of the Borough, as well as for what the future years will bring!

Kingston Council lays out plans for new look Portsmouth Road under Mini Holland scheme



In 2013, London boroughs were given the opportunity to bid for a share of £100 million worth of funding from the Mayor of London and Transport for London under the Mini-Holland programme.

This is a programme designed to encourage more people to cycle, more frequently and safer while providing better streets for pedestrians.

Kingston Council was one of just three authorities, the others being Waltham Forest and Enfield, who won this bid.

With an allocation of over £30 million, the council says it hopes to relieve the pressure of a growing population on the borough’s transport network by improving cycling facilities and road safety, whilst at the same time enhancing Kingston’s public spaces.



The Go Programme has two aspects
• the developments that will bring improvements in
road safety, transform cycling infrastructure and
enhance public spaces to key routes and spaces
across the borough; and
• the sustainable travel support activities that
provide information, advice and services to the
wider community encouraging the adoption of
cheaper, healthier and more sustainable travel
choices, such as cycling.



The programme aims to:
• prepare the borough to deal with future transport
demands alongside a growing population
• relieve public transport pressures by supporting
more sustainable travel choices and making better
use of existing spaces
• encourage more people to cycle and walk by
providing better and safer cycle links, footways
and crossings throughout the borough
• provide additional public spaces and attractive
features that will enhance the borough and
improve existing ones
• improve the quality of life for residents by
establishing better and safer links between key
locations, such as community facilities, workplaces,
shops, schools, attractions and open spaces

Kingston's population is expected to grow by 30% by 2050, meaning thousands more people using the roads.

The council says schemes like the above, are vital for cutting pollution and improving safety.

Would your street be clean enough for the Queen if her Majesty were to visit?

That’s the question Keep Britain Tidy is asking as thousands of people up and down the country take part in one huge litter pick.

In Tolworth, residents and business owners have a bi-annual clear up in Broadoaks, a notorious route that runs behind the Broadway, which is used regularly by fly tippers, and which residents are powerless to stop.

Kingston Council says because the land is privately owned, it has not responsibility to collect the rubbish that continues to mount there.

However, the council is contributing to today's litter pick, by offering vans to help cart the fly-tip waste to the dump.

Jackie’s Charlie King is one of those taking part in today’s mass clear up in Tolworth.
