53 bus service review – have your say
TfL is planning to make changes to bus routes across London, including reducing the frequency and shortening the 53 bus route, which runs through Blackheath.
While the intention is to reduce the amount of buses on the road and make the network more efficient, this revised service could have a negative impact on those with an already long journey to Whitehall.
Read the proposal in more detail, and if you have anything you’d like to contribute, fill out the online survey by 9 November 2018.

Cyber crime is increasing, with more people reporting phishing emails in recent years. If you receive an email or text message asking you to follow a link to give sensitive information such as a password or bank details, be mindful this is likely to be a scam.
Don’t respond to it, but also don’t ignore it. You can report it by forwarding suspicious emails to nfibphishing@city-of-london.pnn.police.uk or through the Action Fraud website.
Raising funds to bring residents together
Our Residents’ Association chairman, Stephen, is running 10km this Sunday 21 October at Greenwich Park to raise funds for more activities that bring our community together.
The main focus will be to help residents that are isolated, such as single parents, their children, and the elderly.
Stephen’s goal is £300 (and he’s nearly there), so if you can, chip in for this good cause!
Update
Congratulations to Stephen who completed the run in under an hour! He’s raised £350 so far, but it’s not too late to donate – simply follow the link above.
