  1. Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum • Why Neighbourhood planning in Bermondsey?

  2. What drives us • Our community is a special place • We want future development in the Bermondsey area to support and encourage the vibrancy and diversity of our community – in the people, the culture and the economy

  3. Our vision • We believe that the neighbourhood has a huge amount of potential and plenty of scope for improvement • We want to see the area grow and evolve in a way that realises this potential and meets the needs of the people that live and work here whilst respecting the diversity, vitality and heritage that gives the area its unique character • We want to ensure that the local community has a say regarding the nature of development and the way in which the area develops

  4. Our ethos • We will work with anyone who will work co-operatively with us • We recognise that certain groups will have particular interests – and welcome them to get involved and lead work in that area

  5. Our area • Brings together: • The mix of business and economy: • Riverside ‘big business’ • Smaller companies, retail & social activities • The mix of residential: • Residential communities – owned, private rent, social housing

  6. Our community links We are an ‘organisation of organisations’ – driven by the Representatives Group • Various Tenants & Residents Associations – private & council (eg BSAP, TRAs) • Business (eg Team London Bridge, Bermondsey St Creative Network) • Housing organisations (eg Leathermarket JMB) • Large organisations (eg Guys Hospital/ Kings) • Church and Faith Groups • Other interest groups (eg Living Streets/ BOST) • Looking to stretch out further into the community

  7. What we’ve done so far • Looked at the area “Wide and deep” • Engaged and gathered community views • Derived some key principles – eg Independent shops, Allotments • Prepared a ‘shopping list’ of development possibilities – the Opportunity Sites • Grouped sites together – the Action Areas • Produced a template for detailed work across our patch – Long Lane masterplan
