Camberwell police officers joined forces with Southwark Council to remove 40 vehicles for traffic infringements on a congested residential street.

Camberwell police officers joined forces with Southwark Council to remove 40 vehicles for traffic infringements on a congested residential street.
Southwark Council parking officers led the double-day of joint-enforcement action on Camberwell Station Road earlier this month.
The Camberwell Green Safer Neighbourhood Team also provided seven officers and one sergeant to ensure the operation was carried out safely and efficiently.
Camberwell Green’s dedicated ward officer, PC Mark McKay, said: “Residents had raised concerns with myself about vehicles in this road causing a nuisance for residents through various traffic violations.
“As a result, working with our partners at Southwark Council to support joint-enforcement in this area is now a ward priority for Camberwell Green.
“I’m delighted to say that through our joint efforts we have made a positive impact on the area, with 40 vehicles removed.
“We will also be monitoring the situation in the road in the coming weeks and acting on information passed to us.
“Finally, I would like to thank members of the community who raise this important issue with us.”
Camberwell Green SNT can be contacted by emailing CamberwellGreen.SNT@Met.police.uk

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers

It is almost a tradition here at SDCAS that some of our clients, volunteers and patrons are running as a team in the 10k London Vitality Run to raise money for the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers.

Due to funding cuts (through which we lost Ă‚ÂŁ38,000) we are this year even more reliable on private donations and sponsoring events like the run. Our target for the run is Ă‚ÂŁ 3,000 so we were wondering if one of you would like to join our team of runners this year as we still have one free place? And it would be amazing if you could help our runners to raise money for the Day Centre!

Please see the link to our JustGiving webpage below, where people can easily donate online.

Our JustGiving link for the donation webpage for the run is:

Many thanks,

Jonas Wessendorf Volunteer Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers
