Greenwich Park Noise Nuisance

The Stella Artois Film Shows on the W/E of July 22nd-23rd 2006 caused a considerable noise nuisance to residents as far away from the Park as Beaconsfield Road and even Mycenae Road in Westcombe Park.

It has been reported that the Council's Noise Nuisance Team were running checks on noise levels in Crooms Hill, but not on the east side of the Park where the noise nuisance was inevitably going to transfer to following the relocation of the event fom the 2005 shows behind the National Maritime Museum.

Local residents hotline

The Royal Parks claim to be working hard to minimise any inconvenience to Greenwich residents as a result of events in Greenwich Park. If, however, you do need to report any problems during these events you can contact a member of Royal Parks staff on 07896 290721. Please note that this telephone number is only operational during the event itself.

Local residents may be shocked to here that there is a proposal (more than that already!) for a Pole Dancing club at The Plaza site atthe junction of Vanbrugh Hill and Trafalgar Road.

GDH Development Public Meeting

The next public meeting to be held to discuss the plans for the redevelopment of the old Greenwich District Hospital Site will take place at The Forum @ Greenwich on Thursday, July 20th 2006, 7pm. Three possible developers have been shortlisted for the Project by English Partnerships. A short presentation will be given by each of them outlining their commitment to the project and residents will then be given the opportunity to ask them questions or raise issues. Proposals will then be worked up and a further exhibition of plans will be held in September 2006. It is hoped to be able to make a decision on the winning proposal by November 2006, with building to start in Autumn 2007.
