Author: Sylvia Harrison
The Inspector adjourned the Enquiry this afternoon, and will reconvene on Tuesday morning at 10am.
There are two reasons:

  1. The Wandsworth Society is not quite ready to produce their evidence [UPDATE], and
  2. the Expert Witness for the Mayor is no longer available.

Therefore, the Inspector and his Assistant will take an unaccompanied walk round the Town, particularly looking at the listed buildings and the conservation area, on Friday.

Clapham Junction Insider (formerly known as the CJAG website) has been publishing local news for over 14 years and remains committed to providing information about the local community and engaging in public interest journalism.

Our goal is to feature a wide range of community campaigns and initiatives, local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, and provide assistance to residents.

We have always been dedicated to these endeavours and have no intention of changing. In fact, we would like to expand our efforts further.

Until recently, all the stories, analyses, and reports published have been made possible with the invaluable help of many volunteers. However, it requires a significant amount of time and effort, and we are frustrated that we cannot do more. There are numerous topics we would like to cover, but we require financial resources to provide regular information.

Therefore, we kindly ask our readers to consider offering financial support to sustain these efforts. Any contributions made will help support community and public interest news, as well as the expansion of our coverage in this area.

  1. Might the Inspector and his team also arrange for a sound level meter to be used on their walk on Friday? Wandsworth Council environmental services could arrange this. I asked for this to be done as part of the central Wandsworth SRB (Single Regeneration Budget) project when we did a walk around Wandsworth about ?8 years ago and it was instructive to see the decibels displayed on the portable meter while we did this, arising from the traffic noise… (basically this confirmed and quantified the evidence of our own ears). The main finding as I recall was that the sound levels we experienced would not be permitted in a workplace. I’d be surprised if the situation has improved since then.
    My conclusion would be to emphasise the pressing need to encourage people out of noisy private motor vehicles (cars, motorcycles) and to use more sustainable, benign modes – walking, cycling and public transport. There are other reasons for doing this too, of course, aside from noise pollution.

  2. TWO SENIOR MOMENTS IN ONE DAY!
    RAM BREWERY ENQUIRY: I posted a notice yesterday regarding the adjournment of the enquiry until Tuesday. I misread my notes. The Wandsworth Society had always been scheduled to give evidence in the fourth week and agreed with the Inspector to hand him their Opening Statement on Friday night and send their expert’s evidence as soon as possible during this week. They advise me they are on schedule to do both but because the Enquiry is now adjourned they will be handing in their statement when it re-opens on Tuesday. They haven’t caused any delay in proceedings.
    I also have to apologise for the mis-spelling of Toby Feltham’s name. It is actually TOBY.
    Sorry – Sylvia

  4. Sylvia, just to say how much I appreciate the amount of work that report must have entailed; all very clear. Thanks.
