Hi Kam,

I was wondering if you could give me a ring re the motorbike in Rotherhithe? I would really like to do a story on it, but need to speak to the people who have posted the picture etc - anonymously if they would prefer.

Hope you are well,

Lindsay

Subject: Russia Dock Woodland (RDW) : Arson / Burnt Out Motorcycles / Fire-Damaged Redriff Bridge on 8-3-2008 + CCTV + Reckless & Anti-Social Motorcycles (RAMs) + Abandoned Motorcycles Collection + Motorcycle Barrier Gates

 

Please see Steve Cornish's (Chair of The Friends of Russia Dock Woodland) email below of 8 March 2008 @ 10:24am for your urgent attention and potential follow-up actions.  There seemed to be a resurgence of Arson and Reckless & Anti-Social Motorcycles (RAMs)  incidents in RDW in recent weeks that is causing increasing Public Concerns.  Furthermore, Southwark Council's apparent failure to provide a timely response to local residents' request for the Removal Abandoned/Burnt Out Motorcycles has reportedly exacerbated the problems.  Two photos taken by Steve Cornish of the burnt out motorbike lying on the fire-damaged Redriff Bridge can be viewed via the web link :  http://rotherhithe0003.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4337256240820D27!220.entry

 

Pupils of Redriff Primary School have worked long and hard with the local blacksmith artist, Kevin Boys, to create their very own school logo sculpture which has been installed on Redriff Bridge that has caused much pulic excitement and positive reactions (Web Link to Photo-Report of 24-7-2007 @ 1:24pm :  http://rotherhithe0001.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7BC0AE7DB0FCE5EE!468.entry).  I am deeply saddened by the fire damage caused to Redriff Bridge and sincerely hope that Southwark Council will promptly carry out the necessary check and repair work to minimise the Public Safety Risk as Steve Cornish has highlighted in his email below. 

 

Rebeka Clark (Stave Hill Ecology Park Site Manager) is meeting representatives of Heritage Lottery Fund on Monday, 10 March 2008.  I very much hope these recent incidents, including the reported damage to the Wild Flower Meadow, will not adversely affect our chance of success in winning this important and high-profile £350,000 funding bid for our Common Good. 

 

I will circulate this email to some local residents to request them to help look out and promptly report any community safety concern, real or suspected, to the authorities.  For this purpose, I have included below some recommended reading and sources of information:

 

All best wishes
