Thanks Michael-

CBN is part of SE5 Forum -  it has worked along side the forum for years. I took on CBN from Bora last year.

We are aware of multiple proposals for this fund, have reached out to all parties across email, phone and social media to put in a joint proposal, waiting to hear back from others who also have. There is much interest in Camberwell and as this fund specifically addresses high street challenges - its bound to attract residents and groups who share the similar interests.

Our funding, engagement and marketing efforts is about promoting local biz in Camberwell online, offline etc. You must be aware of our recent successful bid for the Post Office? Our work with the local farmer's market etc and social media engagement via FB offers etc. we'd like to do more, but we need to spend time raising funds and creating a sustainable biz proposal so we can be self-sufficient. The CRF fund from last year is nearly over ( we are using it for example to fund Camberwell Film Festival this year) 

About Spacemakers etc - Have friends who were part of Spacemakers and am intimately involved on how that worked out/didn't. Same with box park.

I share your concern that there are many groups. I hear similar about Camberwell Artist Network where there are many artists who want to do more and are unsure how to use the platform it provides. All of us are doing day jobs as well as keeping our love for improving the neighbourhood to drive these activities. 

We are trying to address some of this disconnected-ness by bringing people together for a meal on March 13th (TBD) - people who are active and feel passionately about Camberwell. I hope you and others who are interested can join us.

In the end its the shared outcomes and goals that will bring us together - lets try and meet up soon :)

Regards
Priya

HI 

I write as Chair of Camberwell Arts, local business owner and as a Camberwell resident. 

It would be really useful to have an explanation as to what the CBN does and their overarching strategy (marketing, fundraising and engagement) for local area development; how often do you meet and which businesses are actively engaged/sectors represented - how are you engaging with the micro businesses and people that work from home? 
What activities are planned or have been undertaken? This may just be me, but I am really rather unclear. 

I'm aware through involvement with the Se5 Forum that this was at one point under their governance but is the CBN now an independent constituted organisation? 

My sense is that despite a lot of very good intentions and some well meaning people, the local situation is fast becoming one of a rather disjointed network within a very small locality; aside from the various 'Friends of..' groups & tenants associations we have Camberwell Society, Camberwell Arts, Se5 Forum, the CBN and a number of other independents pursuing similar interests. 

I am aware of three potential bids being submitted to this fund all of which sound very similar but none of which appear to be talking to each other, something which no-one is individually responsible for: my sense though is that if there was improved collaboration and communication then we'd all be benefiting whilst equally understanding exactly what each of the organisations are striving for and who might therefore be best suited to apply for these type of funds instead of competing with each other. Improved or even regular communication might also make for a lot less last minute 'consultation'. 


With regards to the project: 

Camberwell Church street continues to develop and is attracting not inconsiderable business investment (and will continue to do so with the redevelopment of the old Town Hall next year); I would advocate for attention to focus on Denmark Hill, Camberwell Green and Camberwell New Road. Offering artists the opportunity to exhibit locally is enticing but how will this actually deliver a sustainable model beyond the funded period ('aimed at encouraging further investments and a long term strategy to improve the high street).  And does this type of activity actually engage the majority of businesses? 

Disregarding the various controversies regarding its 'yuppification', Space Makers did some great work in Granville Arcade in Brixton and in a number of other boroughs, arguing for subsidised rent for start up businesses (although I am well aware of the subsequent fall out). The http://www.boxpark.co.uk/ is another interesting idea. 

On a more local, accessible level, what happens in Norwood with their Feast event http://westnorwoodfeast.com/ could be looked at as a model, offering all sorts of opportunities but one that might require a third party to come in and tackle some of the disconnectedness I outline above. 

My tuppence worth

Kind regards

Dear all.

I have had my fair share of involvement with events in Camberwell: from trying to save the bingo hall, standing for the Camberwell Party in 2010, being part of the Secret Garden and of course supporting my husband, Tom, in his Camberwell-focused photography projects and campaigns.

I am not affiliated with any of the groups in the original e-mail, however I’ve met a few of you and as a new member to the board of Camberwell Arts, I’m expected to reach out and engage with you all in the run up to this year's festival.

- This is a daunting and not inconsiderable challenge which is why I feel compelled to reoply to Priya's e-mail.

 

We can only be an asset to Camberwell if we are all working together and making the most of our skills, knowledge and networks.

First things first - There are so many groups representing SE5 out there!
-Who are we all?
-Who do we represent?
-Who are the individuals involved?

…Why are we not all pulling together?

SE5 Forum
SE5-Cbn
Camberwell Business.Net
CBN Core
Camberwell Arts
Changify
Camberwell Society
..etc.

I feel it is worth mentioning that since 2008 Tom and I are aware of at least 4 consultations and projects about change and improvements to the area. All of which have spent money and achieved very little.

The reason being?

They really did not appear to have actually engaged with anyone in any meaningful way. 

The biggest lesson we all should learn is how Local shopkeepers are rightly very cynical about how pointless these projects have been and are rightly fed up of being asked.

 

HIGHSTREET CHALLENGE

I may be mistaken but I believe there are two separate/rival bids being submitted for the Highstreet Challenge on behalf of Camberwell: One by Priya and another by Radha Burgess.  

Given the fact the application deadline is 5pm on Friday the 7th March, I am concerned that local community and business groups are only now being consulted.

At present I have only been made aware of some topline ideas for Priya’s proposal but I am concerned we are missing the point entirely:

- Who has been consulted in advance of this application being submitted? Have local businesses on the identified been included?

 

- Only then can we identify which streets in the Camberwell centre require attention:
(What is Priya's definition of Camberwell High Street?)
Camberwell Church Street is thriving: It is a food and bar destination in its own right.
Camberwell Green / Denmark Hill/ start of Coldharbour Lane / Camberwell New rd always seem to be forgotten.  

In particular, how successful are the businesses on Denmark Hill outside of NHS patronage at lunchtime?

- Any funds awarded should be used to ensure the local population can sustain the local highstreet(s):  The key objective of any initiative must be to give residents a reason to visit the local shops for their bread, veg, milk, stationery supplies, Records, etc.

 

- A highstreet is not improved or rendered successful just by an artist’s mural, shutter art or some fabric wrapped around the lamp post. Yes they could add something to an area if done in the right way and with consideration for the proposed area.

 

- (therefore) What relevance is there between a food mural and the site of the post office?  http://www.gourmandizinglondon.com

- Why should parking be a consideration? We have the best bus connections to almost any part of London that I know. We also have a train station. (If you are local, you are not driving. Plus, those hardest-up cannot afford a car.)

- Have we looked at past successes and failures to see what we can learn from before we put an application in?

The two examples below of what I believe to be successful Highstreet engagement are entirely from my personal point of view. Some may say one I am biased…call it what you will, it was a project that yielded positive results:

In 2012 Tom launched the 36 reasons to Love Camberwell campaign and exhibition as part of Camberwell Arts Festival. He wanted to tell everyone what made Camberwell such a great place to live: what is on your doorstep.

  • Taking portraits of local recognisable faces that represent our business community.
  • A Gallery hosted in an iconic local pub.
  • A 7-day loyalty card scheme to redeem at all participating shops.
  • A raffle for all completed loyalty cards (of which there were many).
  • Donations from local businesses as prizes.

Evaluation of the event was success!

  • Many long-term residents confessed to not having ventured into shops because they thought they were 'scary'.

- As a result some of those who participated discovered local businesses they had not used before.

 

  • Many residents confessed they had never spoken to their shopkeepers of many years.

- The campaign gave them a topic of conversation to start them off.

 

  • One very long-term local resident did not know where the Hermits cave was! This is now remedied.

- He now knows where to find a good pint for £3.50

 

Whether it was his goal when he started, Tom's project resulted in increased engagement between local business and the residents. It was executed on a miniscule budget and lot of hard work.
But was an example of a successful “Highstreet Challenge” type activity.


I also recall a £1000 grant given to local businesses a couple of years ago that had a really positive effect on local business: FM Mangal created/improved their balcony, shop signage, shop frontages down the street were improved etc.

 

Time is very tight on this application, and I am concerned that we do not have one unified application being submitted, or at least a level of consultation and a clear agreed strategy for how we want to support SE5.

 

It is clear that not only is Camberwell is a wonderful area of London, it has more than it's fair share of individuals and groups working to keep it that way. Problem is it does not look like we are working together.

 

-Eileen Conn and Peckham Vision having done masses simply because it speaks with one voice, and is well organised. http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Main_Page

-Look at http://www.theopenworks.org or  https://www.facebook.com/theopenworks

 

We’re all after improvements that benefit all. But it would save time if we knew what each other were thinking and doing!

Thank you Jordana-
I can imagine how frustrating it might be for you having worked in this space since a long while.

1. Radha and I have been in touch, we are working together to explore having a joint bid for the challenge.
2. Couple of us got together (Gariella, pigeon hole, etc) have set a date of 13th March to get everyone locally involved around the table. Please come. 
3. The Post office mural and local events at the post-office are being co-created with locals and businesses based on feedback we got from the Christmas market when Louise and Gourmandizing ran a stall and engaged with people. 
4. The elements of the bid have been crowdsourced by us by being at the farme'rs market most weekends, engaging on social media and speaking to local biz. Parking has come up time and again as a request from local biz. That's why it was free for small biz saturday. Its useful to look at all sides of the picture for biz who depend on car -traffic. I am a messenger - don't have a car myself as I cycle everywhere. 

Like I said earlier - we all seek similar outcomes and need a joint up approach. Lets meet on 13th March (if you are free) and find a way to work together on what is a very editing time for Camberwell.

Regards
Priya

Why do businesses always think it is the damn cars which bring business? Again and again it is those who provide for pedestrians and cyclists who win better business centres.

Cars are killing, poisoning and maiming us. Lets instead reclaim the space back from the cars and the businesses will thrive.

Southwark Council is totally opposed to cycling infrastructure - why not try and seek to make camberwell human friendly instead of car machine friendly?!

Dear Michael, Jordana, everyone,

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. You both bring up some really good points about engagement with community groups, and help to illuminate why it's so tricky. For my group's proposal we consulted with a number of them, but can any of us realistically consult with all the 15+ community groups, all with niche interests who also can lay a legitimate claim to helping improve Camberwell, and still remain efficient and focused? 

I always think that the key Camberwell group has to be the SE5 Forum for Camberwell (and I'm involved in at least four others!), which is why I approached Barbara Pattinson last week with our bid. She was not aware of any other bid for the High St Challenge and is supportive of the endeavour. Barbara was confident of being able to reach out, through her network, to garner additional support for the bid. This seemed to me to cover a number of constituencies. It's not enough, and it would be best if there was (for example) a central repository / webpage for grant information where TRA / Arts or other groups could signal their intention to apply. That's one way of letting a lot of left hands know what the right hands are doing.

I attach our bid, I haven't seen the CBN one. Jordana, following on from our balcony chat on Saturday, we extended the area of focus up Denmark Hill. I really agree with your point about the difficulty of getting an effort that creates tangible improvements; that's why we put a team of people with a track record for raising money, getting cross-group support, and delivering projects exactly like the one we're describing. 

Good points have been made in this email thread and from other quarters about more neglected areas like Camberwell New Road needing attention. Our rationale, here, however is to concentrate on a relatively discrete area, half of which (Church St) is at a kind of tipping point of gentrification (good and bad: discuss), the other half (Denmark Hill) has been a victim of undirected development. Our project aims to bring coherence to the two streets. We believe that will give us the best chances of success (Success defined as an improved streetscape, better community participation and a bigger pot of funding for Camberwell as a whole, long-term.) 

Success gives us - Camberwell community groups - a mandate to operate and more of a chance to attract more public realm money. I can't see why, if we create a scalable, replicable, template for streetscape improvement and community engagement (as outlined in our doc) this kind of project couldn't be rolled out throughout Camberwell. Also, if we succeed with the High St bid, the next goal must surely be to win significant funds such as a Townscape grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. That is something I am sure we can get behind. And by that point we may have cracked how to communicate with each other ;)

Please do have a read though our proposal. I hope you like at least some parts of it. Feedback is very much sought. And it would be great to have your support. It could probably do with about ten more edits, two more weeks and lots more conversations, but "done is better than perfect," as they say.

Dear Radha;

Street make up is nice and I wish that some taste could be injected to the biz owners with written guidelines..

It is a policy and funding issue and the council is investing in an SPD for the area (like they have been doing for the last many years over all Southwark) and another shop front design guideline proposal sounds to be overlapping with that.

So even the idea is great; £60.000 is far to generous for the poor Camberwell to reinvent some wheels.

I also admired Tom s project and we have even bought all his remaining books last year to support him but I am not sure that this proposal is reflecting all the feedback he collected from the 36 shopkeepers he photographed...

Yes; We have seen how public money can be wasted over the years as first hand and l can only humbly recommend to have some look into learned lessons...

Or soon; everybody will start walking longer distances and paying higher prices for their cup of tea in Camberwell...

Regards to all
Bora

Hi All, 
I've only just got into this conversation as I'll be honest my inbox just tends to get clogged up with to-ing and fro-ing with SE5 stuff so I don't always pay much attention... However I noticed Radha and Jordana in the the thread and the High Street Challenge. I was approached and "interviewed" on Weds by 2 girls about this and happily gave my views and time, however I had no idea there were 2 separate bids being made!! 
I am very interested in getting involved with Camberwell and it's improvements but it really does sound like both Radha and Jordana have hit the nail on the head: why aren't we working together?
When everything is a bit more centralised I'm deinitely onboard, so I'll pick your, Radha, brains when I next see you.
Good luck everyone!
Kind Regards
Jen

Hi all, there are so many e mails going around and so much confusion, I think it would be a good idea to ask for an extension, then all of us to get together and discuss.

 

E mails sent to all, sometimes are not productive.

 

It’s clear that we all want the same common goal, but have different views how to get there.

 

May be a meeting is needed quickly.

 

All the best

 

Kinds Regards

Hi everyone,

I thought it would be helpful to give an update on the cooperation front. Priya and I have spoken over the last couple of day and have agreed to mutually support each other's bids. Our bid focusses on delivering an Art and Design strategy for Camberwell Church Street and Denmark Hill (collectively, "Camberwell High Street" for the purposes of the document). The aims of the Art and Design Strategy are: 

• Beautification: To improve Camberwell High Street’s appearance. We will also create visual elements that will unify and provide branding or identity for the street.

• Participation: To maximise community life by encouraging people to shop, socialise in the High Street and participate in community initiatives. 

• Information: To create a clever, cost effective and attractive way of communicating information about community events.

Priya's Camberwell Business Network's bid focusses more on key business issues such as increasing footfall, addressing parking issues and creating customer loyalty schemes. 

Naturally there is some overlap in the Venn diagram of our two bids: for example, we are both looking at ways to increase footfall, but the means by which we get there will be different, and done in ways that each group, with its specific focus and skills, can support. 

I'm very happy to send anyone who's interested our bid. I would've attached it but there is the application and three attachments and I don't want to clog up any more inboxes than necessary! 

Best wishes,

Radha
