Welcome to the  Brockley Society

Get involved

 

Anyone who lives in the Conservation Area is automatically a member of the Brockley Society. Anyone who lives outside the area is automatically welcome to join in and get involved in the local community.  BrocSoc is YOU! so if you want to get something done, let us know, spread the word and we can all work together to make it happen.

 

The following is a list of actions and projects that various people have suggested. We welcome other suggestions, especially from anyone who would like to take the lead and get the ball rolling.

Hilly Fields User Group: Play Ground Bid

 

The User Group, working closely with concerned local parents, have submitted a bid for Big Lottery Changing Places funding. The bid has got through Stage 1 which is a great achievement but they now need to move on to Stage 2.  They have also submitted for funding to the Government's Playbuilder scheme and expect a decision in October.  Obviously the more help and support they have, the better. The User group is welcoming comments on the Changing Places bid so if you have any, please let us know and we will pass them on to the User Group.  Click here to see the bid.

 

Improving Brockley Road

At the recent Brockley Society meeting there was a discussion on the state of Brockley Road and how it could be improved. The Brockley Blog has now written an editorial on this issue (which you can read here) and there has been a large number of commentators in response.

 

Thank you for completing the survey, the results of which were put to Deputy Mayor, Heidi Alexander, on 25th July during the Brockley walkabout.  

 

We're still interested in your views on Brockley rd so if you haven't completed our survey please take a couple of minutes to do so to ensure we collect the widest range of feedback. Thank you very much.

 

Stephen Lawrence Centre - Brookmill Rd safety campaign
The Centre is concerned about the lack of safe crossings and lighting on Brookmill Rd. They're hoping to launch a student-led campaign to make the road a safer place for children (and adults) to use.  If you are interested in getting involved, contact Kate.

 

Hilly Fields Fayre
The Fayre has been running for 34 years and is one of the highlights of the year.  It requires a huge number of volunteers to make it work.  We're looking for people who can join the already excellent team and come up with bright ideas to make it even better next year. Whatever skills you have, there is something you can do to help!  If you are interested in getting involved, contact Kate.
