{ What's on this week }

LESOCO REDEVELOPMENT ON THE CUT: PUBLIC EXHIBITION
Monday 15 July
4pm-8pm  at LeSoCo Waterloo, Waterloo Campus, The Cut
LeSoCo (the new name for the combined Lewisham College and
Southwark College) is keen to invest in the Waterloo campus
and aims to rejuvenate and enhance the provision of
education facilities available. In keeping with this
aspiration, emerging development proposals are to extend and
redevelop the campus to accommodate up to 11,000 additional
education floorspace over predominantly 5 and 6 storey
buildings. To help fund this development, it is proposed
that the land in the southern and western parts of the site
be released for residential development. These emerging
proposals are in addition to the submitted planning
application currently under consideration for refurbishing
the main entrance and front buildings of the campus (ref:
13/AP/1239) LeSoCo would like to consult with local
residents and businesses before a planning application is
submitted to the council later this year. A public
exhibition has been organised to allow people to drop in,
review the plans and provide comments. If you are unable to
attend the event, the exhibition will remain publicly
available in the college campus reception during regular
opening hours until 22 July.

discussing what people value in the area and the
opportunities for change and improvement. The atmosphere
will be informal and no particular expertise is needed.
After the walkabouts there will be a workshop to discuss and
record people's views. The walkabouts will inform future
planning guidance for the area. If you are unable to attend
the walkabouts or workshop, you are welcome to send in your
photos and comments by email or post. The results of the
walkabouts and any comments or photos submitted will be
published in a report on the council website. If you would
