LVIG Public Meeting & AGM now on 9th April at 7.30pm

Thank you for your patience with us for changing the date of the LVIG AGM - the Brockley Noise Action Group is very grateful to us for postponing so they could maximise the turn-out at their meeting that evening.
We hope that you will be willing and able to come to the public meeting which will now be held at the St Mary’s Centre from 7.30pm on 9th April. We have lots of ideas for events, activities and campaigns for the year(s) ahead and we’d love you be part of bringing them into life with a view to improving our quality of life in Ladywell. We’d really like to hear your great ideas and throw them into the mix too!
For the group to make these happen we need to elect a committee for 2014/15 and that’s where LVIG needs some help from you! For LVIG to continue to exist it needs members of the local community to represent it and become the public face for it.
As a committee member your contribution does not need to be time consuming or onerous – your level of input is your choice, but it will involve attending a few meetings a year and doing a bit of admin as a minimum – anything more you can do will, of course, be very much appreciated. Obviously, positions such as the Chair and Communications and Events Officer require more activity, and you would need to feel comfortable talking to community groups, leaders, councillors and the press when the occasion warrants. A brief description of the committee roles can be found below. Please email us if you’d like further information about these.
If you’d like to make a difference in your local community by taking on one of the Committee roles below please fil out and return a nomination form before midnight on Saturday 5th April. 
Click on this link to the nomination form in PDF format, print it out, fill it in and post it to 120 Algernon Road, London SE13 7AW - OR click on this link to the nomination form in Word format, download it, fill it in and email it to ladywell.info@gmail.com

The only way is up! - Ladywell Public Meeting, Tues 18 March 2014, 7.30p.m.


Following a lull in activity during last year's streetworks, LVIG is now priming itself for a new push over the next 2+ years to ensure that Ladywell develops as a sustainable, vibrant and attractive retail centre with thriving businesses in every premises.  As part of this we are keen to work with landlords and traders to improve buildings and work with the Council and others on enforcement, planning issues etc. to improve the Ladywell public realm for everyone.
It's planned to hold a public meeting and AGM on Tuesday 18 March (venue to be confirmed) at which all present can elect a new LVIG Committee for 2014/15 and at which we can seek to prioritise some of the possible actions LVIG might pursue during this period.
If you're likely to have a few hours a week spare time over the next year and share LVIG's vision for Ladywell please do think about putting your name forward for one of our Committee positions - Chair, Vice-Chair & Treasurer, Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Membership Secretary, Comms & Events Officer and Deputy Comms & Events Officer.  We need new blood to help drive forward this agenda so do email ladywell.info@gmail.com to let us know what you have to offer and which position might interest you.
Those of us who've been involved in LVIG over the last 5 years have enjoyed the challenge and the achievements, made great friends and found working together most rewarding, especially our periodic meetings at the Ladywell Tavern!  So get on board!
Robert Sheppard, LVIG Deputy Secretary

Next LVIG Public Meeting and Planting Day

The next LVIG public meeting will be held at 7.30pm on Weds 16 March, probably at the St.Mary's Centre as usual.  We'll have two interesting speakers - one, James Jennings, a trustee of the newly constituted Playtower Building Preservation Trust, and the other Nick Long, the Council's Empty Homes Officer.  Full details and meeting agenda will be published on this blogspot shortly.

A volunteer planting day will take place on Sunday 27 March (again details to follow) so get the date in your diary if you're able to help replace the soil/compost in the Ladywell planters and plant-up.  Horticultural advice welcomed in advance of this!  Last year the planters really suffered during the hot summer despite quite regular watering in most cases.  We hope to do better this year by finding easier access to a water source.
