Greenwich has one of the highest ranking mortality rates in London for asbestos related disease. Between 1981 and 2005 there were a total of 119 asbestos related deaths in Greenwich placing the borough in the top five for asbestos hotspots in London. In the same period there were 104 deaths in Lewisham, ranking it ninth overall for mortality from asbestos. To tackle the rising death rate from asbestosrelated diseases, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a campaign, Asbestos: The Hidden Killer, which is running throughout October and November 2008 to educate today’s tradesmen about the danger that asbestos presents to them. Figures issued by the Health and Safety Executive have revealed that every week, 20 tradesmen die from asbestos-related diseases, and this number is set to increase. Steve Coldrick, Disease Reduction Director at the HSE explained why a major campaign has been launched to raise awareness of the real risk that tradesmen face, “Exposure to asbestos i

Dartford Council supports Normandy Veterans Dartford Borough Council is to provide financial support to local veterans wishing to revisit the site of the D-day landings in 2009. The borough has several veterans from the Normandy landings and the grant will support a return to the north France coast to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the landings The decision to offer support, through the Kent branch of the Normandy Veterans Association, follows the withdrawal of financial support by the government for overseas visits after the 60th anniversary in 2004. Jeremy Kite, Leader of Dartford Borough Council, says we should all remember the sacrifices of past wars and commemorate those who fought for our freedoms. “We’ve stepped in to support our veterans because we find it completely unacceptable that remembrance should have what seems to be a ‘best before date’. The Normandy Veterans Association does a marvellous job for our old heroes and this is a small way in which we can repay the

A year ago Bexley Council secured over £1m from Transport for London under the Local Implementation Plan Funding to invest in Belvedere Village but the residents and businesses voted against the scheme presented by the Blackfen & Lamorbey councillor Peter Craske. The consultation on the final plans closed on 30 September and the Council state results from showed 106 people voting for no improvements and 95 people were in favour. A petition with more than 500 signatures on it, stating people did not want change, was also taken into consideration. Craske said: “This scheme would have represented the first major investment in the Village for decades and the plans were intended to improve the area to secure its long term future as an important local business centre. Throughout the project we’ve listened to local people, including organising a public meeting for people to come along and have their say, and amended the plans to take their views into account.
