FAMILY’S MOVING TRIBUTE TO TOMMYBLACKMORE, DAYS AFTER HIS KILLER IS JAILED

2 NEWS www.southwarknews.co.uk/news Southwark News, Thursday October 8, 2015

EditorialStriving for excellencewith one hand tiedbehind their back

GIVEN THE financial straits King’sCollege Hospital Trust findthemselves in, it’s no real surprise

that their latest appraisal has adjudgedthem as ‘requiring improvement’.In August we reported how the Trustneeded £86 million of savings in thisfinancial year alone, not least because oftheir PFI tie up with the Princess RoyalHospital in Bromley. Couple this withincreased pressure on services due to anageing local population and the CareQuality Commission was only ever going todraw this conclusion. Sure enough, theEmergency Department is overcrowded, thecritical care service is short on beds, thematernity ward is sometimes understaffedand - hard to believe in a major centralLondon hospital - there has beenintermittent flooding of the dialysis unit andendoscopy suite. Yet the report also noted the ‘outstandingpractice’ among some employees, includingtrauma nurses, a youth worker drop-inscheme in the Emergency Department andthe ‘pioneering work’ being done by someof the hospital’s specialist services. Thehospital itself says many of the weaknessesidentified in the report have already beenaddressed, as ever seems to be the casewhen such reports are published.You can’t judge the performance of ahospital like King’s in a vacuum - financialconstraints are bound to have an impact. Sothe excellent staff work noted is to beapplauded. Yet with £8 million proposed to be shavedoff the staff pay bill by March next year,you really have to fear for the future.

DARE WE say it, but it would bea blooming shame if the councildidn’t find a reasonable solution

to residents being allowed to growplants and flowers on their walkways.Bermondsey mum Sarah Harris is thelatest to receive a warning letter about‘health and safety danger’ and now fears forthe future of her urban green haven. You often hear people harking back to thegood old days where everyone looked aftertheir own patch of walkway, so when someresidents make an effort to brighten upwhere they live, that should be encouraged.Of course the council has to ensure thathealth and safety regulations are observed -as Sarah herself points out, this is theborough that suffered the horrific Lakanalfire, when six people lost their lives.Cluttered walkways, and delayed exits inthe event of fires, could mean the differencebetween life and death in an emergency.Yet a light touch is needed here, rather thanuprooting something that brings pleasure toeveryone who lives there. If the walkwaysaren’t being blocked, then why notencourage urban gardening?

THESECONDWAROF THEROSESHUNDREDS OF people havesigned a petition after SouthwarkCouncil threatened to tear downyet another resident’s balconygarden. Bermondsey mum Sarah Harris, ofthe Southwark Park Estate, received awarning letter from the council tellingher that the colourful plants she keptoutside her front door were a “healthand safety danger.”Earlier this year the News reported thatKennington gran Pat Bryan hadsucceeded in staring down the councilwhen they demanded she also clear herwalkway – yet it seems that the thornyissue has been raised again with a newcrackdown on green-fingered residents.

Sarah said: “I’m really p****d off toput it mildly! I understand the need forfire safety standards, especially after theLakanal fire, but this is just sounnecessary.“I’m the end property, so nobodyneeds to go past my flat in the event ofa fire. Nobody would have any troublegetting through anyway - we got afridge past it the other day!”The 45-year-old has been keepingplants outside her house for 24 yearsand is proud of the effort she takes in“greening-up” the area. It also keeps her “from going mad”,after she was diagnosed with transversemyelitis, a spinal condition, and forcedto spend a lot of time indoors. She said: “I grew up surrounded byplants. My parents had a garden and Iloved it, but obviously I don’t have a

garden here, so I need to make do. “No-one else here really makes aneffort. Most people are paving overtheir garden for parking or just notdoing anything with theirs. “The council are always going onabout Southwark In Bloom and beinggreen, but now they’re targeting one ofthe few people in the estate trying to dothat!”Sarah’s daughter Tania has set up aFacebook protest group called “HelpMy Mum Save Her Plants!!!” whichhas already bloomed to over 200members. The 25-year-old said: “Shebuys plants every week, it does myhead in! She sees one in the shop andsays ‘Oh, it’s dying.’ Most peoplerescue dogs, not plants!” Sarah vowed not to give up on her“oasis.”

She said: “I am so worried that oneday I’m going to come back from workand find them all gone. I just can’tunderstand as I’ve had them out therefor so many years and now they’vedropped off this leaflet without evenknocking on the door. “I’m not going to give up though.They did the right thing with that otherwoman and I hope they just see sensehere too.”Kennington resident Pat Bryan, whowon the last ‘War of the Roses’ againstthe council, is rooting for her fellowgardener and hopes officials will alsoleaf her alone. She urged her to “standyour ground” and said that followingher stance last spring, other residentshad joined her in brightening up herestate by creating their own hanginggardens.

Southwark Council cabinet memberfor Housing, Cllr Richard Livingstone,said: “Of course we would be happy towork with the resident to see how shemay be able to keep some of the flowerpots, but we are going to have to askher to remove a number of the items,including a rotary washing line, tableand chair, to ensure the way is clear. “While we understand that peoplewant to add personal touches to theirhomes we have to balance this with ourresponsibility for the safety of all theresidents. The tenancy agreements areclear that walkways should not beobstructed. This is both for the safetyof the residents leaving the homes in anemergency and for any emergencyservices who need to enter the property.These are public areas and must betreated as such.”

A GRIEVING mother has sentout a stark message to thosefriends of her murdered son whoare keeping the details of hisdeath a secret – ‘I don’t need yoursympathy, I need you to tell thepolice what you know.’Mariama Kamara’s sixteen-year-oldson Mo was ambushed by a largegroup and stabbed to death on theNewington Estate last month – but thepolice have met a wall of silence fromthose who witnessed the attack. Speaking to the News, Mariama (akaBaby Leigh), said since her “goodboy,” was taken, she has had manyvisits from his friends.“They look at my face and I knowsome of them were standing therewhen someone killed my son but theydon’t say,” she said. “They come andhug me like they feel sorry for me.They watch me cry, but they arehiding secrets. I don’t need a hug, Ineed them to come forward and tell

the police who did this thing.“If you loved him you should saysomething, but you don’t love him,”she added. Police were called to CanterburyPlace on Monday September 14shortly before 11pm to a ‘largedisturbance’ and found Mo sufferingfrom multiple stab wounds. London'sAir Ambulance attended but theGlobe Academy student waspronounced dead at the scene. Seven men, between the ages ofsixteen and 54, were arrested after theattack, but two were released with nofurther action to be taken and fivehave been bailed pending furtherenquiries. Mariama previously told the Newsthat the only thing she wanted nowwas “to see the one that killed my son,look him in the eye and say ‘you putpain in my heart – I’ll never see myboy again’. I want to ask them: ‘Howdo you feel about taking somebody’slife?’ I want to bring his killer tojustice.”Mo was a dutiful son who wasknown for his caring nature andbeaming smile, so Mariama and the

close family cannot understand whythe aspiring footballer was targeted “He was a peacemaker when anyonehad problems. He was caring, a goodboy,” she said with tears in her eyes. Moving tributes were paid to Mo ata fundraiser for his funeral put on byhis friends and family on Wednesdaynight last week. It was standing room only at Inspirethe Crypt under St Peter’s Church asyoung people wearing T-shirtsemblazoned with the Mo’sFoundation motto ‘Drop the knives,save lives’ queued out the door. Mo’s friend, Michael Mansaray, 16,who organised the fundraiser saidthough he has lost other friendsthrough knife crime, “Mo’s death wasdifferent. I just really wanted to help.”Mo’s cousin, Amie Fofanah, whoco-hosted the event, said the pain shefelt at hearing of his death was nothingto that of his mother. “A mother’sbiggest sorrow is to bury her child. That’s why we decided to do this,”said Amie. You never know the painuntil it happens to someone close toyou. I pray to God we won’t have todo this for anyone sitting here.”

The event raised £1,250 towardsMo’s funeral, which cannot beorganised until his body has beenreleased by the police. Mo’s uncle, Alan Kamara, has set upa funeral committee to raise a total of£5,000 to pay for the service, “becausea loving young man killed deserves adecent burial.”Speaking at the event on Wednesdaynight, Alan said: “Mo has gone andwe can never replace him. We willnever get him back. The damage ofdeath is irreversible. Our challenge now as a communityis to make sure there’s no more deathsof the young.”To donate to Mo’s funeral fund, visitwww.crowdfunding.justgiving.com/mohamed-moffs/submitted

POLICE WHO scoured the area aroundthe murder scene in Canterbury Placehave recovered a large number ofweapons and are now using forensics toidentify if any of them are the murderweapon or linked to the incident. Detective Chief Inspector Graeme Gwyn,

who is leading the investigation, confirmedthat Mo was not in a gang and that his teamwere still trying to establish the motive of thekilling. CCTV close to the scene captures a group ofaround twenty people nearby. They seem to berelaxed until the incident occurs, drawing

them out of camera view. Officers are now going through hours ofCCTV footage, to try to identify those whowere at the scene who may be able to help thepolice with their enquiries. “It’s an awful time for the family and we needhelp to get justice for them,” said DCI Gwyn.

“Sometimes people have a misguided sense ofloyalty with these things, but I’d just ask themto do what’s right for Mo and his family.”Anyone with information can contact theindependent charity Crimestopperscompletely anonymously on 0800 555 111 ascallers are not even asked for their name.

KING’S COLLEGEHospital hasbeen rated as ‘requiringimprovement’ in a reportreleased by the health watchdoglast week. The Care Quality Commission(CQC) visited King’s in April andfound that the EmergencyDepartment was overcrowded, thecritical care service was short onbeds, the maternity ward wassometimes understaffed and therewas intermittent flooding of thedialysis unit and endoscopy suite. The report also mentioned

“outstanding practice” includingtrauma nurses, a youth worker dropin scheme operating in theEmergency Department and“pioneering work” being done bysome of the hospital’s specialistservices.Roland Sinker, Acting ChiefExecutive at King’s, said: “TheCQC’s report highlighted many areasof good practice across the Trust.However, the rating is not whereKing’s wants to be. We want andneed to do better.“We are pleased the CQC praisedthe compassionate care our staffprovide to patients every day. It isalso positive that the CQC singled out

some of our specialist services forpraise.“Many of the issues the CQC hasidentified as requiring improvementare already known to us, and we havemade significant progress since theirinspection in April. However, wewant to be providing high qualityservices to every patient that comesthrough our doors – and this is whateveryone connected with the Trust isdetermined to provide.”In August the News reported thatKing’s needed to find £86million ofsavings this financial year just tobalance the books and that £8millionwas proposed to be shaved off thestaff pay bill by March 2016.

FROM DOCKERS creatively‘fiddling’ their share from a newshipment to illicit pupil-teacherrelations, the outlandish incidentsof a by-gone Bermondsey arecurrently being portrayed on aBBC2 sitcom. Radio personality Danny Baker’sautobiographical comedy, Cradle toGrave, has tickled viewers pink forthe last five weeks – but just how trueare some of the programme’soutrageous stories?Apparently, the majority are not farfrom the truth at all – especially whenit comes to Danny’s charismaticfather Fred, known as ‘Spud’ andportrayed by comedian Peter Kay. Always scrabbling around to makeor save a few bob, Danny’s late fatherwas reportedly as industrious in reallife as he is portrayed on the smallscreen – including a few chaotic closeshaves.Johnny Shaw, whose parents Walterand Lily are portrayed on the show intwo episodes, remembered one ofthose incidents.He said: “Fred got a tip he wasgoing to be turned over by the OldBill. My house had a lot of stuff in itthat my mum was selling for Fred, sowe were all running around hiding the

500-odd handbags in case we gotturned over.“We put them behind wardrobes,chucked them in kitchen cupboards –anywhere we could!”News arts correspondent and foodreviewer Michael Holland also recallsSpud’s antics around the area. He said: “Spud Baker was just oneof the many ‘fences’ on SilwoodEstate. But he was the man whointroduced most of the Silwood to‘Continental Quilts’, as we knewduvets back then. And we have nevergone back to blankets!”The show’s writer Jeff Pope said:“Spud is now long gone, but therewere times when we were writing thatI could swear Danny was channellinghis late father, so clear was his voice

as we shaped scenes.”The show was filmed in sixtylocations across Manchester, butresidents in the north of the boroughwill recognise a number of familiarplace names, including the JollyGardener. Michael Holland remembered theRotherhithe New Road pub, whichhas since been replaced by flats, as aplace “where you could pick up cheapstuff: meat stolen from the Sainsburywarehouse in Silwood Street, clothesstolen from the Baker & Brittwarehouse in Silwood Street, plusanything stolen from any shop,warehouse or hijacked lorry thatfound its way to a Silwood fence.”Other familiar location namesinclude the Peek Freans biscuit

factory, where Danny’s mum worked,Nelson’s clothes shop, where the boysare shown eyeing up two-tonedtrousers, and West Greenwich School. The school was the setting for oneof the more controversial scenes in

the show: Danny’s implied intimacywith a beautiful photography teacher. Steven Webb, an ex-pupil, said: “Idon’t remember a photographyteacher but I do remember a teacherthat all the boys lusted after!”

ONE PARTICULARLY popular aspect of the show is theportrayal of the ingenious ways in which dockers snucknicked goods past guards – “dockers’ fiddles.”Michael Holland remembers his own father regularly trying “thefat man.”He said: “Many was the time when the old man came home fromwork and proceeded to take off several layers of clothing that hadbeen purloined from the cargo he had been loading or unloading. “Most times it would be jumpers or jackets, but the one Iremember vividly was when he came in looking like a 20-stonewrestler and stripped down through three big sheepskin coatsuntil he was normal size again!”Other popular tricks included ‘accidentally’ losing loads in theThames to retrieve under cover of darkness later and the “cat inthe box.” This involved carrying an angry cat in a closed box up to theguards, letting it escape, scratching and hissing, back into thedock, and then swapping it out for something a little morevaluable for another try. It was a brave guard who would ask tosee into the box a second time.

THE OWNER of the most famousshop in Peckham has been sent toprison for four months, after tryingto cover up the sale of a bannedpesticide to a woman who then usedit to kill herself.Akbar Khan, 41, owner of Khan'sBargains in Rye Lane, was sentenced atWoolwich Crown Court on Friday lastweek after a 23-year-old womanswallowed the entire contents of a 100mlbottle of the illegal mosquito killer 'SniperDDVP'.Police were called to her home inConsort Road in June last year, wherethey reported a strong chemical smellcoming from the property. Despite theefforts of four paramedics the womancould not be saved.The printed label on the £1.35 bottleread 'Khan's Bargains Ltd', accompanied

by a receipt in the dead woman's handbag.Southwark Trading Standards officersvisited the shop on the same day andfound a further nine bottles on sale.The father-of-six was fined over£26,000 for breaching EU Biocideregulations in March, but it then emergedthat he had doctored a sales invoice for thehighly toxic substance, banned in the UKsince 2002, to falsely claim it was a freesample. Khan, the head of the Rye Lane Traders’Association, has now been jailed for fourmonths for perverting the course ofjustice. The court heard how Khan hadtransformed the store since setting it up in2000, a year after he arrived in the UKfrom Afghanistan. Ms Sarah Ellis, defending, said Khanhad lied about the invoice in a “panic” andadded that the sentence would have a“catastrophic effect” on his family.Khan, of Rosemount Road, Acton, had

claimed that the ‘free sample’ came froma company called Maxim Marketing, runby a Taufiq Jhaveri. When Mr Jhaveri passed away recently,Khan visited his family to try to get themto corroborate his claims. The judge, Mr Recorder ChristopherHehir, said: “Your position was badenough at that point but you made it far,far worse when you visited the late Mr

Jhaveri's family. “This offence is so serious that onlyimmediate custody is appropriate. I haveno other option but to send you to prison– you must be punished and others mustbe deterred from committing similaroffences.”In addition to the four month jail term,Khan was ordered to pay prosecutioncosts of £2,394.60.

Kevin Wilson, 20, of theLongfield Estate, SE1 was charged inJune with child destruction andgrievous bodily harm with intent. Atrial date has been set for November30.

CorrectionIN THE last issue, our article “BenPurdy’s girlfriend heard him beingchased to his death” incorrectlystated that Ben’s girlfriend AshleyAdedeji-Adebisi had previouslylived with the Bagnall family inAlpine Road, Rotherhithe. They had actually been living inHospital Way, Hither Green. This wasdue to an error in the court copy wereceived from an external agency. Weapologise for the mistake.


A CANDIDATE for next week’scouncil by-election has been accusedof “scoring an own goal” aftercampaigning against the proposedredevelopment of Dulwich HamletFootball Club’s stadium. Ben Maitland, the Lib Dem candidatefor South Camberwell, handed outleaflets outside the club’s Champion Hillground before last week’s game againstVCD Athletic. The leaflet stated: “Like manysupporters of Dulwich Hamlet FC, Benis concerned about plans to build on itspitch and move it to a smaller alternativenearby.”It also outlined worries about buildingluxury, rather than affordable, flats on theold site and the loss of green spaceinvolved in moving the pitch to a newlocation. However, in an official response, theclub accused Mr Maitland of“scaremongering and inaccuracy.”The statement, titled “Don’t Believe AllYou Read…”, said: “We believe that thevast majority of our fans who care for thefuture of our club will support thedevelopment, and this will be shownonce the Dulwich Hamlet SupportersTrust poll its members on supporting theproposals.“The new stadium will actually see anincreased capacity and will be adevelopment that will result in a muchlarger community use all round the clockfor our area, not just for Dulwich Hamlet.“The flyer also expresses concernsabout the loss of green space, but the newstadium will be built around the current

footprint of the ageing all-weather floodlitsurface currently behind our home.”Fans on social media said the decisionto hand out leaflets arguing against themove was “idiotic”, “mind-blowinglyshort-sighted” and an “abuse of footballand fans as [a] vehicle for political gain.”One person commented on Twitter:“Ben Maitland scored an own-goal(excuse the pun) with poorly researchedand embarrassing leaflets. Wastedexercise and Saturday.”Mr Maitland told the News that he feltthe leaflet had been misinterpreted. He said: “I am determined to helpsecure Dulwich Hamlet’s long termfuture at Champion Hill. The club is avital part of our community and does ahuge amount of work with young peoplein this area. "We clearly need to increase the amountof social housing across Southwark, butbuilding luxury flats over our footballground will not help provide theaffordable homes we need.”A spokesperson for Hadley PropertyGroup, who stepped in to buy the cluband save it from administration last year,said: “Hadley Property Group’s proposalswill guarantee the long-term future ofDulwich Hamlet FC, and enhance andmaintain Green Dale. “The scheme will establish muchneeded community sport and leisurefacilities within the heart of East Dulwich,including partnerships with schools,football academies and disadvantagedsocial groups. Hadley Property Grouphas been engaging closely with the localcommunity throughout this process andwould be happy to meet with thecandidates to fully brief them on theproposals.”

TOMMY BLACKMORE’S familyhave called for a change to thejustice system after the Bermondseyboy’s killer was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in jail - of which hewill serve just half. Lloyd Smythe, of Tabard GardensEstate, Borough, pleaded guilty tomanslaughter on September 30, weeksbefore he was scheduled to appear incourt. He was sentenced two days later.Tommy’s older brother Bradley paidtribute to a “cheeky chap who alwayshad time for everyone”, but suggestedsuch tariffs were an insult to grievingfamilies. He told the News: “The police, thejudge, the CPS – everyone dideverything they could. The only thing weas a family are disappointed in is thejustice system’s guidelines.“The sentencing guidelines in placedon’t do enough for different situations.How can someone who was responsiblefor an unprovoked attack be treated thesame as someone who just happened todeliver a fatal blow during a brawl?“People also can get more lenientsentences for pleading guilty, even whenthe odds were against them and theywould have no chance of getting away.Obviously what’s happened withTommy is done now but this is going tokeep happening to other families.Something needs to change.”He described his 20-year-old brother,

eleven years his junior, as his “bestmate.” Bradley said: “I was the baby of thefamily and then he came along! But evenwhen he was young we were all so close.Whenever any of us were buying clothesor something we’d check with each otherthat it looked good.”

The family nicknamed him “TommyThree Baths” due to his love of a goodsoak, during which he would call up hismany friends on the phone. “We only found out after he passed thathe used to ‘Facetime’ everyone while inthe bath. He loved a good chat and hewould give everyone the time of day. If

he walked to the shops he would take 40minutes because he would just stop andtalk to everyone.“There is a Turkish man on our roadwho came up to us and said that evenwhen he first arrived and couldn’t speakany English, Tommy would always stopand talk to him and make him welcome.”

Tommy was blessed with good looksand an easy charm to match, somethinghis brother talked about admiringly – andwith just a smidge of jealousy. “He was the type of person who wouldwalk into a club and immediately be thecentre of attention. He had those longeyelashes, big green eyes and perfect

eyebrows, and he was mad into hisfitness, so was always at the gym.“Even as a young kid the girls justloved him. He was cheeky and had goodbanter - and he knew that he wascarrying good looks!”Tommy, who worked on the tube trackswith Bradley and their eldest brotherMicky, was also a proud and protectiveuncle to his five nephews and nieces. “He was always the favourite uncle -they were only ever allowed to jump onhis bed! They were his pick-me-up. If hewas ever in a bad mood or sad he wouldplay with them and they’d cheer him up.”He was also incredibly protective of hismother Maureen, who was diagnosedwith a degenerative disease 20 years ago.Tommy was, in her words, an “angel”who inspired her to keep fighting. Whenever he stayed out late he wouldleave something of his on her bed so that,when she woke up, she would know hehad got home safe. The family say thathe “kept her going, kept her smiling.”Other than family and friends,Tommy’s two big passions were hisXbox and football. Bradley said: “He was reem at Xbox.Between the ages of about eleven andfifteen he was always in his roomplaying Call of Duty. He was so good -

although it wasn’t much fun playingagainst him! You were in luck if youwere on his team though.”His football career was equallysuccessful, with Tommy representing anumber of teams in the area including theDocklands Settlement team and thesupporters’ team of his beloved MillwallFC. His family still laugh about the time, ataround five or six years old, that hepenned a long letter to the News, urgingthe Millwall manager to sign up WorldCup-winning Brazilian striker Ronaldo. Bradley said: “We hung up that letterfor years on the fridge, but we teased himso much about it that he took it down andhid it! We don’t know where it is now.”Ex-Millwall player Mark Beard wasone of the many members of the Lionsfamily to pay tribute to Tommy after hisdeath. He said: “He was a lovely lad, funny,bubbly, confident and loyal. His deathcame as a massive shock and I still can’tbelieve that he has gone. They do say thegood die young and in Tommy’s casethis is definitely true.”On the pitch, Tommy was equallysuccessful, with the three Blackmorebrothers taking great joy in lining upalongside each other.

“He began playing football with adultswhen he was eight! Micky would go offfor the last fifteen minutes and Tommywould come on and just get stuck in.“He wasn’t the biggest kid, but he hadthe biggest heart. He was alwaysbreaking his leg or his arm. He justwasn’t scared and was always diving in.”Bradley does remember an incidentwhen Tommy wasn’t quite as brave. He said: “I had to go to the hospital asI’d broken my nose and needed to get itreset. The consultant was explaining howit would work and Tommy fainted, hewas just gone! He came round and theyput him in an oxygen mask, it was sofunny.”Four months after Tommy’s death, theoutpouring of grief in Bermondsey hasnot stopped, as evident by the continuedactivity on his online memorial page andthe various fundraising events held in hisname. Bradley hopes that charity will be away that Tommy’s “legacy” cancontinue. He said: “We’ve already raised £12,500for a charity fund in his name. Tommycared so much about charity, this is a wayhis name can live on - to have a legacy.We’re going to find good causes in thearea and help them out.

Tommy was incrediblyprotective of mum Maureen,who was diagnosed with adegenerative disease 20 yearsago... in her words, he was an “angel” who inspired her tokeep fighting. Whenever hestayed out late he would leave something of his on her bed so that, when she woke up, she would knowhe had got homesafe.

“gratuitous and unprovoked violenceand a vicious punch”.“I totally reject any suggestion ofeven limited provocation”, he said.“You may not realise it, but you havepassed a life sentence on his family.No sentence of mine can repair theirloss.”Sarah Plaschkes QC told the courtTommy had been chatting anddancing with friends that night.As revellers spilled out of the club ataround 2.30am some scuffles brokeout.She said: “Tommy was stoodtalking to two young women, tryingto calm them down.

Beautiful from the inside.Most caring young man ever. From his Aunt Donut.

You were my little brother and mybest friend. I think about you everysingle day. You’re on my mind and in myheart. I miss our jokes and chats andwould give anything for you to be by myside again. Love you always Tommy boyuntil we meet again, my best friend.

Love always, Kevin Mc xxxxxxxxxxxx

I first met Tommy when I was boxing at Fight For Canceragainst Ricky Boylan. He was only 18 but I got on well with himstraight away. His job that night was too look after me in thechanging room and lead me to the ring. I was nervous but he keptreassuring me I’d be alright, and kept saying there was loads ofMillwall fans there cheering me on. We become friends after this, meeting up at Millwall home gamesand playing in charity games at The Den. He was a lovely lad, funny, bubbly, confident and loyal. His deathcame as a massive shock and I still can’t believe that he has gone.They do say the good die young and in Tommy’s case this isdefinitely true.

THE NUMBER of people with painfulpressure ulcers in Lambeth andSouthwark’s care homes is fallingthanks to a campaign by Guy’s and St Thomas’ nurses. Since the Zero Pressure campaign began in

April 2014, nine out of 14 care homes havegone more than a year without a residentdeveloping a pressure ulcer. The other fivehave not had a pressure ulcer for more than200 days.Claire Acton, Tissue Viability Nurse

Manager, says: “Around half a million peoplein the UK get a pressure ulcer every year andpeople over 70 are particularly vulnerable.Our nurses train care home staff, carers andrelatives to recognise pressure ulcers.”The tissue viability nursing staff also care for

people with pressure ulcers in their own

homes.Tim Kalvis, 49, developed multiple pressure

ulcers when multiple sclerosis left himbedbound. He explains: “Because I’m in bed most of the

time, and I can’t feel my legs, I didn’t knowhow bad the bed sores were. I had sevenpressure ulcers and could literally see thebone, with the worst one being on my hip. “The district nurse referred me to the tissue

viability team. They came to see me and putManuka honey on the pressure ulcers andnow they are healing.“There’s a big difference between being in

hospital and being in your own bed at home.I have good carers and support here andthat’s absolutely vital.”

AN ORIGAMI-inspired carmade entirely out of sheets ofcardboard has been created by aBermondsey-based laser cuttingcompany. Lasercut Works, of RaymouthRoad, put aside plastic and metal tocreate a working, life-size model ofa Lexus car using just cardboard. The project used a total of 1,700sheets of cardboard cut to specificsizes and took three months to

complete, with each piecepainstakingly glued to the body ofthe vehicle by hand. Daniel Ryan said: “When peoplecome past they take a double takeand think ‘hang on a second, is thata digital piece of work in the realworld?’ It’s a cross-over betweenanimation and reality and I think thatsurprise is what’s so special aboutthe project.”The vehicle will be revealed to thepublic as a star attraction at theGrand Designs live show inBirmingham from 8 October.

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL’Sfinance boss has said she is notrushing to welcome radical changesannounced by George Osborne thisweek which would allow localauthorities to keep hold of millionsraised in business rates every year.The borough will collect £215 millionin business rates this financial year butcurrently has to hand it all over tocentral government, which thenredistributes the national total across thecountry, so that places with fewerbusinesses still have money to fundservices.The Chancellor’s announcement at theConservative Party Conference thisweek would mean councils likeSouthwark would no longer receive agovernment grant, which this year willtotal £195million for the borough, butthey would be able to keep the businessrates they collected.Cllr Fiona Colley, Southwark’s cabinetmember for finance, is remainingcautious in her response to the news,which could see the borough’s coffersswelled by £20million.“While Southwark could benefit fromthese changes, we won’t rush towelcome them until we are clearer onthe details,” she said. “Our central London location, and thefact that the council has done a hugeamount both to bring big businesses tothe borough, and to support small andmedium sized enterprises, means thatwe generate a good amount of businessrates relative to many other councils.However, the devil is in the detail, and ifwe lose other funding streams and areexpected to take on even more services,any benefit for our residents could belost. “We do welcome, however, any signsthat government is devolving powers tocouncils, which are best placed to serveour local communities,” she added.

She said: “It was beautiful,wonderful, and very well attended.We had over 230 older people thereand a huge number of charities, andeveryone had a lovely time.”Attendees enjoyed a three-coursemeal, ate a cake in the shape of anold-fashioned wireless, and danced toa band playing some classic tunesfrom by-gone days.

A GROUND-breaking tenant-runestate is helping homeless people putdown roots by awarding them thegardening contract for their grounds.The D’Eynsford Tenant ManagementOrganisation, which recently took overthe running of the Camberwell estate,celebrated the new partnership withhomeless charity St Mungo’s Broadway,at a launch event on Monday.

The Putting Down Roots gardeningproject for people who have been affectedby homelessness will now employ twopeople to tend the estate’s grounds. Darren Kidson, of D’Eynsford TMO,said: “We are delighted to have awardedour grounds maintenance contract toPutting Down Roots (PDR). “Our residents, volunteers and staff arelooking forward to working with PDR tomake a real difference to the estate andwork together to make it an even betterplace to live.”

‘Rocket’ tower plandoesn’t take off

THE FORCEwas certainly withcommuters last week when theystumbled upon an immersive

piece of Star Wars art underSouthwark Bridge.The fifteen-metre long creation,which depicted the iconic ‘trench run’scene from the sci-fi classic, wascreated to mark the launch of a new

Star Wars play-set. While manypeople chose to walk around therealistic 3D image, those who madetheir way across the artwork wererewarded with sounds effects ofspaceships, lasers and droids.

Force start for commuters

A PROPOSED 100m-tallskyscraper shaped like a rocket shiphas been rejected by SouthwarkCouncil’s planning committee, whosaid that the building design was“incongruous, isolated and alien.”The bizarre Southwark Street proposalwas slammed by council officers, whosereport claimed the design “would causeunacceptable harm” to the borough’sskyline. It added: “The rocket reference iscompletely alien to the character andidentity of Southwark, and indeedLondon as a whole.” The scheme proposed demolishing thecurrent site at 55 Southwark Street,currently an art school and car park, andreplacing it with a 30-storey tower,including a theatre, museum, bar officesand flats. As well as the out-of-this-world design,the application noted that the towerwould include just nine large residences,despite having space for “around 30.”This meant that it also fell foul of thecouncil’s affordable homes provision. The development’s design, accordingto its website, was inspired by YuriGagarin, the Russian cosmonaut whoachieved “one of the most important andspectacular events of the 20th century”when he became the first man to orbit theearth. The website added: “His image andthat of his rocket lifting into space havebecome iconic illustrations of moderninnovation, and his name has becomesynonymous with courage andfortitude.”

Skipton Street, which used to runthrough the site, would also be reinstatedas part of the new development designedby architects Skidmore, Owings andMerrill. Cllr Mark Williams, Southwark’scabinet member for regeneration and newhomes, trumpeted the plans, saying thedevelopment would “complement and

enhance” the council’s vision for the newElephant and Castle ‘town centre’. “The proposals for Skipton House willtransform the gateway into the LondonSouth Bank University, create new officesfor local businesses, improve open andgreen spaces around the site and provideeven more cultural amenities to the areato put Elephant and Castle firmly on themap,” he said.

Two storey schoolgets go-aheadSOUTHWARK: Plans for a newtwo-storey special school were giventhe go-ahead this week asSouthwark Council’s schoolexpansion programme continues.The former Highshore School buildingin Bellenden Road, Peckham, which hasstood empty since the school relocatedto Camberwell in 2013, will be knockeddown to make way for the newdevelopment.The new facility will provide a newhome for the Cherry Garden specialschool, currently located in Bermondseywith capacity for 93 pupils. The future use of the existing CherryGardens School is yet to be decided. There were nineteen letters of supportfor the new Highshore School and fiveletters of objection from local residentsconcerned about loss of light, privacyand views and the planning committeevoted to approve the plans at a meetingon Tuesday evening.

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL’Scontroversial plans to createnearly 5,000 new burial spaces innaturally occurring cemeterywoodlands were voted throughthis week, despite a campaigngroup appealing to thegovernment to step in.Save Southwark Woods (SSW) havebeen battling against the plans to usegreen spaces in the borough’scemeteries for new graves for monthsand there were more than 600objections to the applicationsregistered online.Campaigners requested the

Department of Communities andLocal Government look into the publicconsultation carried out in 2011, whichinformed the council’s burial strategy,as they say it was misleading andsurveyed a small number ofSouthwark residents.The decision to approve the cemeteryplans taken at the planning committeeon Tuesday night will not be bindinguntil the DCLG has decided whetherto call in the applications or not. Cllr Darren Merrill, Southwark’scabinet member for environment andpublic realm, is resolved thatcontinuing to provide burial spacewithin the borough, which is due torun out by 2017, is a matter of“common decency”.

PARENTS OF children aged two,three and four are beingreminded that they can helpprotect their little ones from fluthis winter with one simple, freenasal spray.Anyone aged over 65 or with an

existing health problem is eligible fora free flu jab while children aged two,three and four can continue to get thenasal spray vaccination from their GP.Children in years one and two in

primary schools in London are alsobeing offered the free flu nasal sprayvaccination this year betweenOctober and December.Dr Noel Baxter, a local GP and

clinical lead for respiratory conditionsat NHS Southwark ClinicalCommissioning Group, said: “Thenasal spray vaccination is a quick,painless and effective way forchildren to be protected without theneed for injections.“Flu can be a very unpleasant illness

in children as they suffer the samesymptoms as adults including fever,chills and aching muscles. Somechildren develop complications of flusuch as bronchitis, pneumonia andpainful middle ear infection.“The flu vaccination will help protect

your child from flu and also reducethe chance of flu spreading to others.Older people, pregnant women andchildren with health problems likeblood cancers are particularlyvulnerable to flu, so getting your child

vaccinated means that you arehelping others too.“Anyone over the age of 65 or with

an existing health problem shouldalso make sure they get the flu jab asflu can make the effects of existingconditions worse.”

Parents of children aged two, threeor four should speak to their GPabout getting the nasal sprayvaccination for their child. The nasalspray vaccine is not licensed forchildren aged less than two years. However, if the extended

programme in primary schoolsreduces the spread of flu, youngchildren will benefit from the reducedrisk of being exposed to older childrenwith flu.There is evidence that the primary

school flu pilots last year had a

positive impact on transmission of fluin the wider community.

IT’S NOW time to make somereal decisions about your future -once you have taken your GCSEsyou officially will be an adult,writes Kevin Quinn... Mum and dad will no longer beresponsible for your education, norwill the government; and believe it ornot, neither will your teachers. It will be entirely up to you todecide which path you take - andwhile everyone including thegovernment is heavily focused onapprenticeships, there will be manyof you who will want to follow thetraditional academic route. Of coursethe results you get at secondaryschool will to a large extentdetermine what you do in furthereducation. But now is the time tolook at what sixth forms and furthereducation institutes are offering. Unlike secondary schooladmissions you have the freedom togo where you like - it does not haveto be local - but bear in mind journeytimes. You don’t want to beexhausted before you arrive atcollege!Being in the final year of yourGCSEs, you will have a fair idea ofthe results you are likely to achieveand make sure that when you call orvisit a sixth form or college you findout the exact qualifications you needto get on the courses that you like the

look of. The truth is, if you are reallypassionate about a course but feel thatyou might not get the grades, it wouldbe worth thinking about re-sitting.After spending the whole of your lifein school you might think that re-

sitting any GCSE would becompletely out of the question.However, at your age, making surethat you do something that you feelpassionate about and enjoy isabsolutely vital. Countless peoplehave had to work that bit harder and

give something a go twice beforethey succeed. The experience at sixthform or college will be so different tothat at school that you should find thechange enough to warrant the extraeffort and time it takes to re-sit anexamine or start a new one to get on

to the course you are ultimately after. The relationship with most of yourteachers will be very different, asthey will treat you more like an adult.After all you don’t have to be there -it is your choice. This means thatlessons are normally more relaxedand you usually spend more timewith smaller groups than you woulddo at secondary school. While there is little doubt that A-levels are much harder than GCSEs,the fact that you have fewer subjectsand are studying your favourite orbest subjects means you will find theself-motivation to get to grips with it. The work will be much more indepth, but probably more interesting.Essay subjects at A-level are muchmore about analysis and evaluationthan just pure facts. This means thatyou can no longer get away withhaving a basic knowledge of asubject and then blagging the examor just learning reams of facts withoutactually understanding them. On the plus side you definitely getmore freedom, including free periods(usually eleven or so hours a week),which allows you to plan when andhow you work. As well as the courses, check out thefacilities at the sixth forms andcolleges you are interested in, as theycan help make your whole workingenvironment a better one.

RAIN ANDblustery winds areusually a feature of the Octoberweather.

But, there are often fine and mild spellswhen the autumn sun can feel warm. The planting season for shrubs and treesstarts in October and lasts until March.Although five months seems like plenty oftime, the ground can become waterloggedor frozen as winter sets in, makingconditions difficult from Novemberonwards. There is usually a better choice ofshrubs available from suppliers at thebeginning of the season. Whilst planningnew additions to the garden or windowbox, something more modest to considergrowing is the Snakes Head Fritillary. Thisspring flowering bulb has lantern likeblooms of white or pinkish-purple whichare attractive and unusual. With shortening day-light hours and theonset of worsening weather, opportunitiesfor working in the garden are becominglimited. Make the most of any fine days –tidy and cut back perennials; continueweeding beds and loosening compactedsoil, this will expose the larvae of moths,beetles and slugs/snails to the birds whofeed on them (useful for pest control nextseason). Clear leaves regularly, if they areleft around on grass it will turn yellow.The main seasonal colour is from berriessuch as rosehips and hawthorn plus thegarden shrubs Cotoneaster and Pyracanthawhich are laden with bright orange-redberries (not edible). The leaves are turninginto rich autumn colours of buttery yellow,bronze and flaming red. MichaelmasDaisies and Dahlias will continueflowering whilst the weather stays dry andmild.October is traditionally ‘apple month’ andfestivals have been re-established aroundthe country. Apple Day in Borough Marketwill be on Sunday 25th October from12pm until 4pm. Check details athttp://boroughmarket.org.uk/apple-day-25th-october-2015My plant of the month is the Hop(Humulus lupulus). Rarely found ingardens, it is a vigorous climber, tolerant ofa range of growing conditions, attractsbutterflies and provides habitat for wildbirds. Hop flowers resemble little softgreen fir cones, they form large bunches onlong tendrils (binds). Hops are cultivatedcommercially and used as a bitterflavouring and preservative in theproduction of beer. The leaves are slightlyaromatic; the flower heads have aninteresting herby smell. Hops have a long tradition of use inherbal medicine, when employed (withother herbs) they can be helpful in treatinga wide range of conditions includinganxiety, insomnia and digestive disorders.(Caution: always seek the advice of aprofessional Herbalist before usingherbs/plants medicinally).

THOSE SOUTHWARKCounciltenants who are waiting for a newkitchen or bathroom - maybeeven both - at the present level ofinstalling them 92 new kitchensand 112 new bathrooms since the2014 local election...You have some wait to reachSouthwark Council’s target of 17,500new kitchens and 21,400 newbathrooms. In this term of officeSouthwark Council, in the three yearsleft, will complete 224 new kitchensand 184 new bathrooms. For thecouncil target to be reached from2014 when started, for new kitchens itwill take 234 years and for bathrooms348 years.

Mayor Boris hasmessed up 24hr tubeLAST YEAR the Mayor ofLondon unveiled plans for a 24hour tube. This could be a welcomedevelopment but the Mayor has failedso far to properly think through anumber of issues, on staffing, onsafety and on noise disruption. First, tube unions are rightly angry atthe prospect of existing tube workersbeing forced to work through thenight when this was not in theiroriginal job description. Secondly, there are genuineconcerns around solo staffing of night

tube stations and TfL may need tolook at recruiting additional staff inorder to operate the service safely. Finally, a number Londoners areconcerned by the noise impact of tubetrains running close to their homes24/7. TfL need to engage withresidents to resolve such concerns.I have long supported theambition of running an all-nighttube service but it needs to be doneproperly and the challenges itraises overcome. Boris Johnson’s decision to delaythe implementation is perhaps abelated recognition that this issomething that cannot simply berushed through and that properdialogue with tube unions and

residents needs to take place.Darren Johnson , Green PartyMember London Assembly

IDON'T need to tell people living inSouthwark that we have a housingcrisis.

The council continues to build more thanother London boroughs, but with less andless help from central government. Risingrents have contributed to many local peopleneeding tax credits to top up incomes thatdon't cover the higher rents and other livingcosts central London demands. With house building at its lowest level

nationally in almost a century, the ToryGovernment's proposal to now cut taxcredits has shocked many people. Letterswill soon go to 6,200 people in Bermondseyand Old Southwark telling them that theTories are breaking promises from May’selection – including from David Cameron –to not cut this vital income top-up forworking people.Many of the people directly affected willlose £1,300 a year according to theGovernment's own statistics. Figures Isecured from the House of CommonsLibrary show that over 4,000 of the peopleaffected in Bermondsey and Old Southwarkhave children. Working families losing outas a direct result of this Government’sactions. We know child poverty is risingafter five years of Tory and Lib Demmistakes hitting local families; sadly thispolicy will make matters worse.The Government also plans to forcehousing associations to sell off some of theirhomes that we desperately need – and thatare genuinely affordable. If that wasn'tdamaging enough, Ministers have alsosuggested they will impose rent controls onhousing associations. I met with threehousing associations who have homesacross Southwark. The combined effect ofGovernment plans on Peabody, Riversideand One Housing could cost them £175million over this parliament. That mind-boggling sum might prevent themdelivering more affordable homes. I am pressing for changes in my role onthe Welfare Reform and Work BillCommittee. The Employment Ministeralready accepted that my submissions wereaccurate on how Government plans wouldhit disabled people and carers. She’spromised to provide further information onhow the Department for Work and Pensionswill mitigate the effect. I won’t hold mybreath for concrete changes but it would benice to secure a small victory within myfirst six months in parliament! Last week the News told you I've taken ona junior role in the Labour team:Parliamentary Private Secretary to ChrisBryant MP. He's Shadow Leader of theHouse. This 'bag-carrying' role will notdistract me from my core work: being herefor people in Bermondsey and OldSouthwark.

Musica chairsin Southwarkwhat ’s on

Iquickly realized that going tosee La Musica was going to bea different kind of a night as I

sat down and noticed that therewere instructions on the chairs.This both annoyed and baffled meat first, as, after a tough week Ifelt disinclined to partake inremovals, writes Matt Baker...The odd set up and absence of astage seemed to suggest I would needall my powers of concentration to seethrough the 110 minute piece. For astart, both actors were perched 20 feetup in a corner with their backs to thepublic. However, when the showbegan we, the audience, were facedwith two enormous screens showingclose ups of both the actors' faces. Asunnerving as this was, it sort of drawsyou in immediately to the dialogueand emotion of the piece.Here we go I thought, this looksinteresting.Marguerite Duras’ La Musica tells ofa meeting between two ex - loverswho rendezvous at a hotel and discusswhat happened to their relationship.The back and forth between the

characters is electric and slowly moreof their past is revealed, with theemotional tension rising with eachminute.The play transforms when the largescreens are turned off and the audienceseating is rearranged. We all dutifullymoved our chairs as if to create a closesquare around the players who satfacing each other, or stalking amongus. The transition from being separateto being amongst the audience workedbeautifully to draw us in further to theworld of the lost lovers. Definitely one of the mostbeautifully performances I have seenthis year and a real treat. Forsomething both classic and fresh popalong and I promise you will be very pleased you did.

history

This year it will be onehundred and five yearssince a Walworth bobby

was shot dead in a bungledburglary which shocked thenation, writes Amelia Burr...It was Sergeant Robert Bentley’swedding anniversary and his wife washeavily pregnant with their first son,who would never get to meet his dad.Robert and Louisa lived on thecorner of Villa Street and AylesburyRoad when he went on duty as a Cityof London police officer and wasgunned down in what became knownas The Houndsditch Murders.On December 16, 1910, theGardstein gang of Latvianrevolutionaries tried to rob a jeweller'sshop in Houndsditch to raise funds forpropaganda and help their fellowactivists back home.The job had been plannedmeticulously, with the anarchistsrenting rooms in the building behindthe shop. They used a 60-foot rubbergas hose to use gas from their buildingto burn through the jeweller’s safe. What the bandits hadn’t banked onwas it being the Sabbath in a largelyJewish area. In the quiet the unusualnoises alerted the neighbours, whocalled the police.Unarmed, 36-year-old RobertBentley, was the first to enter thebuilding the burglars were using as ahideout and he was the first to be shotdead. Fighting their way out of thebuilding, the robbers then killedRobert’s comrades Sergeant CharlesTucker, 46, and PC Walter CharlesChoat, 34.Two officers were also injured inwhat is still considered the worstincident for British police inpeacetime.One of the burglars, GeorgeGardstein, was accidentally shot byhis friends in the confusion and diedfrom his wounds the next day.The other two of the gang membersescaped and hid out in Stepney,leading to the famous Sidney StreetSiege of January 1911. There was a great deal of publicanger as the offenders werecategorised as ‘aliens’ and inhuman‘foreigners’. An informant tipped off the policethat the two remaining robbers werehiding out at 100 Sidney Street and asmall army of two hundred officersand a detachment of soldiers weredispatched to the scene, where theywere joined by then Home Secretary,Winston Churchill. The surrounding homes wereevacuated at dawn and a crowd of

thousands of spectators massedoutside.The two Latvians were heavilyoutgunned but they held their own inthat East London tenement for sevenhours. The siege only ended when thehouse caught on fire and the two menwere trapped inside. The fire brigade was already on thescene when the building burst intoflames, but Winston Churchill orderedthem not to extinguish the blaze. The fire gutted the building and asthe roof caved in, firefighters

struggled to prevent damage to thesurrounding buildings. A wallcollapsed and buried five people, oneof whom, a firefighter, died the nextday in hospital. The bodies of the two Latvians werediscovered inside the house, one onthe first floor where he had been shot,and the other on the ground floorwhere he had been overcome bysmoke.The cause of the fire was neverdiscovered.The siege was a media sensation of

its time. Newsreel cameras wererolling throughout, and the first filmswere showing in West End cinemasthat same evening.As for Walworth’s own SergeantBentley, who had served in the BoerWar, he was buried with the highesthonours after a service at St Paul’sCathedral – the first time it had beenused for the funeral of someone withthe rank of civil police. Robert’s son was born the day afterthe shooting and named after hisfather - Robert Eric Alfred Bentley.

A year later the Daily Mirror went tovisit Louise and baby Robert on hisfirst birthday when he was describedas “a fair haired, chubby-faced,brown-eyed baby boy now and not atall shy.”But sadly, baby Bobby didn’t makeit to his fourth birthday, as he diedfrom diphtheria in Stockwell hospital,aged just three-years-old. Huge crowds gathered outside thefamily home in Villa Street whenbaby Bobby’s body was broughtfrom the hospital in a hearse for thefuneral.

food & drink

AUTUMN HAS well and trulyarrived. It certainly seemed that way whenI battled torrential rain with a flimsyumbrella to get to Village East, arestaurant on Bermondsey Street,last week, writes Ellie Ross...I pitched up with a drenched coatand wet feet.Happily, everything about the placefelt warm and cosy. My soggy umbrella was whiskedaway from me by a smilingwaitress; the lighting had the sametinge of orange that comes from acrackling fire; and I was shown to acosy little booth with plush leatherseats and a twinkling tea light. The atmosphere felt relaxed, with afew groups of friends and after-work

drinkers enjoying a brew by the baror in the upstairs snug. Things were looking up.To mark the change of seasons,Village East has just introduced anew menu for autumn. The old favourites are still there -the sirloin steak and cheeseburgers,for example - but new dishes havebeen added, or existing choices havebeen given an autumnal twist.The wild mushroom tagliatelle(£13.50) and pork belly starter (£8)are both brand new, while thescallops starter (£12) has a newgarnish to reflect the season.Of course, you could come herejust for cocktails. They have fun names, such as“Would I Lychee You” and“Southwark Smile”, but I wastempted by “The Earl ofBermondsey”.True to any Earl’s style, it came ina teacup, compete with a silverspoon and sugar cube on the saucer.“The more you stir in the sugar, themore bitter it becomes”, the waitresstells me, laying down the tipple. That’s because this is no ordinarysugar cube, but one that has beensoaked in Campari, giving an extrakick to the Earl Grey-infused gin

concussion. Good Karma (a gin andelderflower blend) arrived withlovely sprigs of fresh mint andcrushed ice, but you couldn’t tastethe elderflower much. Starters were a mixed bag. The scallops were first rate - threegood sized, perfectly tender piecesof meat, expertly drizzled withartichoke puree, surrounded bycaramelised apples and flecked withcress. But the crab was disappointing -there just wasn’t enough meat on theclaws, and the watery noodles on theside didn’t help matters. For mains, I went for the pan-roasted duck breast.There was ample meat, which wasnicely pink and sitting on a bed ofveg - confit heritage carrots androasted cauliflower. It was all drizzled with Madeirajus, which complemented theflavour of the meat.The venison is a new addition tothe menu for autumn, and was myguest’s choice. It was delicious - a generousserving of meat that was tender andrich in flavour. It was accompanied by truffled

creamed leeks and roasted redonions, a consistency which workedperfectly with hunks of venison.Both mains were just what youneed on a drab autumn day - hearty,wholesome and precisely the kind ofthing that warms the cockles after aspell in the rain.The meal ended on a good notethanks to a couple of indulgentdesserts. The dulce de lechecheesecake was superb - deliciouslysweet and smooth on top, with alovely crunchy base that Mary Berrywould have been proud of. It was complemented by a servingof deliciously sticky caramelisedbananas.But if you could choose just onedessert, the apple rose would be agood choice. Two pastries,artistically crafted into beautifulrose heads, arrived dusted in icingsugar and next to a scoop of verymoreish rum and raisin ice cream.It was like the most appetisinglooking apple strudel, and the blendof warm pastry with cold ice creamwas a winner. So yes. Village East may alreadybe an established restaurant onBermondsey Street, but its newmenu for autumn is well worth a

taste. Particularly as it will get you out ofthe rain and into the warm on a coldautumnal day.

Visit www.newsatden.co.uk for all the latest Millwall news online

TONY CRAIG says he isdisappointed with Millwall’scurrent league position given thequality he believes is in the squad.The Lions’ unbeaten away record thisseason came to an end after a dramatic5-3 defeat to Peterborough last weekend,a result that leaves them in fifteenth placein the League One table, Craig, who scored the first goal of hisfourth spell with the club at LondonRoad, admits he expects animprovement after the internationalbreak. “You do look at the season around tenleague games in to assess where you areand at the moment with the squad we’vegot it isn’t good enough,” the Lionscaptain said. “I think we’d be the first to

put our hands up and admit that.” “But there are still many games to goand the only way is up. With Millwall’s game againstDoncaster, which was to have takenplace this weekend, postponed due tointernational call-ups, manager NeilHarris and his management team havean extended period to work with thesquad ahead of the next league fixtureagainst Swindon at The Den on October17.That will kick off a testing period offive games in fourteen days, withresources already stretched after theinjuries suffered by Jimmy Abdou andEd Upson at the ABAX Stadium. Thatwas a stark illustration of how quicklythings can change and Harris this weekbrought in Wolves player George Savilleon loan to boost the midfield options. There was an immediate upturn in

Millwall’s form following the lastinternational break in September. Harris’side won three and drew one of their nextfive games in the league and Craig ishoping for a similar effect again. He said: “I think maybe the break hascome at a good time for us again whenthe gaffer can stamp his authority on thesquad and go through some things thathaven’t been quite going right for us.We’ll get to work on those things andthen we’ll go again. “We’re all in it together and striving toimprove.”Despite last Saturday’s defeat toGraham Westley’s side, Millwall are justthree points off Rochdale in the last play-off spot. However, Blackpool, third frombottom, are also just three points behindthe Lions and Craig recognises the valuein putting a winning run together. “The way the league is, two or three

wins in a row could push you right upinto the play-off positions,” he said.“We’ve got some very good, excitingplayers and we’re doing our utmost toget results. We’re only 11 games in andthere’s a lot of football to be played anda lot of places for the supporters to see. “We said we’d look at the league afterten or so games. It’s not quite goodenough, but we’re only at the start still. “We’ve got great characters here, agreat squad and we’re all in it together.There are some great lads in the dressingroom. We know at the moment someresults haven’t been right for us butwe’ve got time off now from the leagueto put that right.“I think when you look back Millwallis a club that whenever it’s done wellhasn’t started well. If you look at lastseason they did start well and look whathappened there.”

No Tony award for Millwall Captain says international breaks comes at the right time

MILLWALL’S UNBEATEN awayrecord this season came to aspectacular end at London Roadlast Saturday as they lost an eight-goal thriller against Peterborough. The Lions were 2-0 down with justeighteen minutes gone but were level tenminutes after the break. Graham Westley’s side went 4-2 up on72 minutes before Mark Beevers halvedthe deficit two minutes later in abreathless game. But nine minutes from time Jon Taylor

was allowed to work his way into thebox unchallenged to smash his secondof the game past Jordan Archer. Millwall lost Jimmy Abdou to injuryafter just four minutes and that turnedout to be a crucial factor inPeterborough’s second goal. Hisreplacement Ben Thompson, on histwentieth birthday, lost the ball to formerLions youth player Michael Bostwickand when he passed to Taylor the wingerevaded a tackle before arrowing a driveinto the top corner from 25 yards. Neil Harris’ side had fallen behindthree minutes earlier when Lee Angolwas quickest to react in the box after

Taylor’s shot had come back off thepost. Peterborough had clearly been directedby their manager to shoot whenever theywere within 30 yards of Millwall’s goaland Taylor and Marcus Maddison,especially, were clearly following theinstructions to the letter with the latterfizzing another effort just past Archer’spost. But if Millwall were shocked by theconcessions they showed commendablecomposure to stick to the game plan andthey dominated the rest of the half. Peterborough lost their goalkeeper BenAlnwick after 30 minutes and his

replacement, eighteen-year-old rookieDion-Curtis Henry, had to pick the ballout of the back of his net twice before the55th minute after headers from ByronWebster and Tony Craig. Millwall were on top at that point butan injury to Ed Upson, who was puttingin his best performance of the season,disrupted the momentum and ChrisForrester reacted quickest in the box toput the Posh 3-2 up in the 69th minute. With the away side pushing up andleaving space at the back ConorWashington sprinted onto a through ballto finish coolly past Archer before Taylorhad the final word.

MILLWALL ARE potentially justthree games away from Wembleyafter beating Northampton at TheDen on Tuesday night. Just as they did after the 1-0 win overPeterborough on September 1 theyentered their second internationalbreak of the season buoyed byprogression in the Football LeagueTrophy. The draw for the area quarter-finalswill take place on Saturday morning,but Neil Harris didn’t allow himself tobe tempted to think of a return to ashowpiece final for the first time since2010. The Lions boss said: “We’re justgoing to think about the next game, Iknow that’s really boring! It’s twogood wins in this competition but it’searly days and there are some reallygood teams left in it as well. There’s along way to go and we look forwardto the next one. “What I can do with this competitionis say to the players: ‘Go and enjoyyourselves and build momentum.’That’s what we’ve done. We’ve got agame plan, as ever. The boys knowtheir jobs inside-out. They know Iwant to win every game. In nouncertain terms they know that, so inthe next round we want to win again.” Two goals from Aiden O’Brien andLee Gregory gave Millwall anultimately comfortable victory afterNorthampton had threatened to makeit an awkward evening in front 2,254supporters at The Den. Harris handed debuts to GeorgeSaville and Joe Martin while JackPowell and Lee Martin came backinto the side with Millwall missing sixfirst-team players through injury,suspension and international call-ups. Carlos Edwards was rested havingplayed every minute of seven gamessince his comeback after almost ayear out injured. Fred Onyedinmawas also on the bench with O’Brienstarting on the right of midfield andLee Gregory partnering SteveMorison - making his 150thappearance for Millwall - up front.Northampton didn’t play like a sidea division below their opponents andstarted with the same confidence andswagger that had seen them knockLeague One Colchester andBlackpool out of cup competitionsalready this season. But for all their pretty passingfootball and dominance of possession,they lacked incision in key attackingareas and Jordan Archer was rarelytroubled in the Millwall goal. He was lucky when Lawson D’Athsmacked a ball off the angle ofcrossbar and post in the second halfbut by that stage Millwall were twogoals up and, as on Saturday, theyarrived in another three-minute spell

with less than 20 minutes to go andwith the prospect of penalties feelingever more real. On 71 minutes referee IainWilliamson declined to award a free-kick for what looked like a clear foulon substitute Onyedinma as he racedinto the Northampton half. With mostof the home crowd jumping to their

feet, for one of the first times in theevening, in protest, the ball ended upat with O’Brien 25 yards out and heinstantly sized up the target beforepinging a fizzing drive that beatgoalkeeper Ryan Clarke low at hisnear post. The Cobblers shot stopper seemedto be locked into a personal duel with

Steve Morison for much of theevening, producing four fine stops toprevent Millwall’s 32-year strikerfrom garnishing an accomplisheddisplay with a goal. In the first half henarrowed the angle when Morisonfound space to shoot in the box andthen re-positioned himself brilliantlyto block the follow-up with the

opening goal looking a certainty. To his credit, Morison didn’t letthose misses dull his performanceand it was he who laid on the secondgoal for Gregory when he sprintedonto his strike partner’s pass in theleft channel with Northampton’sdefence out of position and thencurled a perfect left-footed cross to

the edge of the six-yard box whereGregory arrived at pace to tap home. Harris now feels the centre-forwardhe signed from Leeds in the summeris setting the example for some of hisyounger colleagues. He explained: “Steve Morison isSteve Morison, he shows flashes ofbrilliance and he leads the line well.

He played with me and I like to thinkhe learned from me how to be asenior Millwall striker: how you cancontrol the crowd with what you do;how you can set the tempo for yourteammates with what you do. He’scertainly starting to do that.” Harris wasn’t making anypredictions about what the victory

would do for their season, but he didacknowledge its importance. He said: “What this does, we’vegot an eleven-day break, and it givesus focus, energy and positivitybecause our last home game goinginto the next one against Swindonwas a win and a clean sheet. I thinkit’s a big, big win for us.”

BOSS WANTS MORECONSISTENCY NEIL HARRIS says he is “reallypleased” with the shape of his squadheading into the second internationalbreak of the season. But the Millwall manager is using theeleven-day period with his coaches towork on the side’s “inconsistency”. That streak was highlighted again lastweekend when the Lions recovered atwo-goal deficit at Peterborough andlooked to be in the ascendancy only toleak three goals in the last 21 minutes. And although Harris isn't surprised byit, it's an aspect of Millwall's game hehopes will improve with work on thetraining ground. He explained: “The inconsistency iscertainly something that we expected to acertain degree. We’ve spoken about howto improve and how to minimise thatinconsistency. “We’ve also been inconsistent duringgames. We’re trying to bring stability to ateam and formation and we’re relativelyhappy with what we’ve done there withthe odd tweak, personnel-wise. “Consistency over a 90-minute periodis key and when we’ve had that we’vebeen really good. “When we’ve slipped out of thatconsistency we’ve caused ourselvesproblems. We’ve loads to improve on.“I’m really pleased with the group as awhole, really pleased with the squad anddressing room we’ve built. There aresome really good characters, a goodtogetherness that has stood us in goodstead at difficult times. “The players have stuck together andlittle things like coming back from 2-0down last weekend, although we went onto lose the game, coming back in the firstplace is key. “So that belief and desire and spirit isthere but then it’s about getting thatconsistency and calmness and that’ssomething you can coach. You can teachthat and we’ve spent time talking aboutthat balance in games. “We’d rather play Saturday again, likethe last time. We’d rather play and buildmomentum but we can utilise the timewhen we’re not playing to get better andwork on where weneed to improve. “Myself and mycoaches are reallykeen to work oncertain areas andwork together as ateam.”

MILLWALL COULD be forcedback into the loan transfer marketafter Neil Harris confirmed onTuesday night that midfieldersJimmy Abdou and Ed Upson areset for significant spells out of theside through injury.Abdou damaged his shoulder justfour minutes into last Saturday’s defeatto Peterborough, while Upson suffereda knee injury in a collision in thesecond half of that game. Upson could be sidelined for up to sixweeks with Abdou facing an evenlonger stretch out. That leaves the Lions lackingexperience in midfield with JackPowell and George Saville startingagainst Northampton on Tuesday andBen Thompson coming off the bench. Harris now has time before the nextleague game to consider if he needsreinforcements. He said: “I can’t hide the fact thatthey’re two really important players forus. Jimmy is Millwall, he just gives usthat spirit and energy. “Ed’s done really well. We talk aboutplayers making an impact whetherstarting or coming off the bench and hedoes that. He gets the way we want toplay, they both get it. They’re biglosses, but then other people will getthe opportunity. “We have an opportunity to workwith George, who did really well. LeeMartin has come back into the side andgave us something different, thepositions he was getting in were greatand I was really pleased with him. “There will be opportunities foryoung lads. Jack got his chance, Bencame on in the last two games and Ithought he was outstanding when hestepped onto the pitch, so we’ll see.”

The Lions Live team will be chattingto football agent Eddie Duah onThursday night from 7pm and will alsotalk to Ben Thompson about hisprogress and how he feels the seasonhas gone so far.

NEIL HARRIS praised newrecruit George Saville after hemade his debut for the Lions inthe 2-0 Johnstone’s PaintTrophy win over League TwoNorthampton on Tuesdaynight. Millwall signed the midfielder ona 28-day emergency loan fromWolves this week and Harris saidthe deal could be extended further. Saville, 22, played three gamesfor the Lions on loan from Chelseaat the end of 2012-13 and the

following season started 33 timesfor Brentford as they wonpromotion from League One. He also helped Bristol City topromotion last season after SteveCotterill brought him to the clubon loan last January. Harris said he came “highlyrecommended” by formerMillwall boss Kenny Jackett, whosigned him for current clubWolves in August 2014.Saville produced a physical,energetic display against ChrisWilder’s side as Millwallprogressed to the area quarter-finals in a competition in whichthey last reached the final in 1999

when they lost 1-0 to Wigan atWembley. Millwall only confirmed thesigning of Saville hours beforethey played the Cobblers, but withfive midfielders missing throughinjury, suspension andinternational duty he was thruststraight into competitive action byHarris. The Millwall boss has used hisconnection with Jackett to bolsterhis side’s midfield in the shortterm, but could seek to negotiate alonger deal after the initial periodends. Harris said: “I thought he wasexcellent for a boy who’s not

played a lot of football and comestraight in having not trained forthree days.“He gave us a little bit ofaggression in the middle of thepark but also composure with thefootball. He comes with goodrecommendations from some goodfootball people. “I was really pleased with him.That’s the standard he’s set nowand he’s got to keep to thatstandard and improve as his matchfitness improves. “We’ll see how the 28-day periodgoes. It depends on Wolves anddepends on how we’re going in themeantime.”
