Follow the money
A few days ago, we reported on the meeting to allocated Brockley's £10,000 locality fund, but we were a little hazy on the details of how the cash got divided. With thanks to Cllr Walton, here are the full details:
(1) Christmas lighting - Brockley Cross Action Group £250
(2) Benches outside Pitman House - Picnic benches where young people can socialise £1000
(3) Digicams project - Camera phones for young people to report graffiti etc to Love Lewisham, with monthly prize and end-of-year exhibition £1000
(4) Contribution to Brockley Fun Run - £1000
(5) Planting flower beds at Veronica House – project through Brockley Cross Action Group - £1000
(6) St Johns After School Club – contribution to storage facilities £1,000
(7) Contribution to Brockley weekend arts festival - Brockley Max (towards funding of children’s activities) £500
(8) Security light to illuminate the area adjacent to 1 Upper Brockley Road and thereby discourage antisocial activities £150
(9) Street trees at various locations around the ward £4,100
Which by our calculations, adds up to £10,000.
Now it's just a question of actually spending it properly...
