Kingsmead Rd Morning 

Disco 

Every Sunday morning, 

Kingsmead Rd hosts a 

socially distant street disco, 

as featured in The Guardian 

last weekend. Like so 

many Streatham streets, 

Kingsmead has an active 

community spirit. Resident 

Sonia organised delivering 

flyers offering support to 

every home and those with 

gardens have been leaving 

flowers on the doorsteps of 

flats. 

The DJs behind the event, 

Rob Cockburn, a lawyer, and 

Barny North, who works in 

digital media, have strung 

bunting between their 

houses, and Rob normally 

wears a costume, according 

to neighbour, Simon Lycett. 

Of the playlist, Barny North 

says, “It’s very eclectic. A 

bit of pop. Mostly jazz, a 

bit of RnB, a bit of reggae.” 

Rob, Simon, and families - by Orlando Gilli 

His final track was Nina 

Simone’s Feeling Good. 

Neighbour Andrea Mulligan 

says Barny and Rob have 

mastered the art of DJing for 

a motley lockdown crowd. 

“We come to our gates and 

give people a wave and just 

enjoy the music. It’s a nice 

moment of unity.” 

Thanks to the Guardian and 

Orlando Gili, who took the 

photograph of Rob and Barny 

with their families.

STREATHAM CELEBRATES 

VE DAY 1945 

The 8th May marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day in 1945 - 

Victory in Europe Day. 

KING GEORGE VI VICTORY TOUR OF STREATHAM 10 MAY 1945 AT SUNNYHILL SCHOOL COPYRIGHT LOCAL HISTORY PUBLICATIONS 

SUNNYHILL ROAD VE DAY STREET PARTY - COPYRIGHT LOCAL HISTORY PUBLICATIONS 

Following the signing of the German surrender 

the previous day, Prime Minister Winston 

Churchill announced the 8th May would be a 

public holiday so the nation could celebrate the 

cessation of hostilities on the continent. The War 

effort to defeat Japan in the Far East resumed 

afterwards, and three months later VJ Day was 

observed on the 15th August and the second 

world war came to an end. 

May 8th saw an outbreak of celebrations 

throughout Streatham where numerous street 

parties were hurriedly organised to mark the 

occasion. Tables and chairs were laid out in the 

centre of roads and home-made bunting and flags 

were hung from lamp posts and the windows of 

neighbouring houses. 

While men were preparing the road ladies busied 

themselves in their kitchens preparing party food 

for the children to enjoy - no simple task, given 

the strict rationing that was then in place. Other 

residents organised party games, sports and 

other amusements to entertain the children. 

Typical of such parties was that held in Cunliffe 

Street, Streatham, which was organised by 

Mrs D Miles. After the children had feasted on 

sandwiches, cakes and orange squash a special 

treat was brought to the table in the form of a 

large quantity of ice cream which was donated by 

local resident, Mr Wicherson. 

Following this sumptuous feast races were 

organised further along the road, with many of 

the mothers joining in the fun and participating 

in the three-legged and wheelbarrow races. At 

the conclusion of the afternoon, prizes donated 

by local residents were 

distributed among the 

children with Ronny Elmer 

being given a handsome boat 

for winning the most races 

and Margaret Williams being 

presented with a pair of silver 

salt-cellars as the leading girl 

racer. 

Later that evening the 

festivities continued around 

hastily erected bonfires, 

with particularly large blazes 

organised in Westcote and 

Strathdale Roads. 

Two days later, Streatham's 

celebrations were concluded 

when King George VI, 

Queen Elizabeth and the 

two princesses, Elizabeth 

(our present Queen) and 

Margaret her sister, made 

an official visit to the town 

to inspect local civil defence 

forces at Sunnyhill Road 

School. Large crowds lined 

the streets to welcome the 

Royal party, including a 

number of Italian Prisoners of 

War who were working in the 

neighbourhood. 

The King was greeted at the 

entrance to the school by 

the Mayor of Wandsworth 

and was led through the 

crowds of cheering children 

in the playground to inspect 

the various detachments on 

parade including members of 

Streatham's ARP unit. 

It was to be over a year 

later, on 8th June 1946, 

that Wandsworth council 

organised official Victory 

celebrations on Streatham 

Common when thousands of 

local residents and children 

gathered there to once again 

celebrate the end of the 

Second World War.

60 

seconds to save our High 

Street and our communities

and our communities. SIGN HERE! 

These are unprecedented times for our economy 

at a local, regional and national level. 

Industry leaders, political figures and Business 

Improvement Districts are calling on the 

Government to support businesses within the 

retail, hospitality and leisure 

sectors who have a rateable 

value of more than 

£51,000. 

As part of the Retail, 

Hospitality and Leisure 

Grant (RHLG) guidance, 

only those with a 

business rates value of 

up to £51,000 can access 

the vital grant, leaving tens 

of thousands of businesses stranded. The 

#RaiseTheBar campaign, launched on 21 April 

2020, is calling on the Government to raise 

the arbitrary £51,000 business rates threshold 

cap to £150,000, allowing over 54,638 businesses 

across England and Wales in these 

sectors the chance to survive. 

Plans for a £617m discretionary fund announced 

by Government on 2 May do not 

go far enough according to industry bodies, 

associations and business owners across the 

UK, with no guarantees local authorities will 

issue relief. The Government has made clear 

that this fund is for specific purposes, none 

of which support businesses with a rateable 

value between £51,000 to £150,000. The #RaiseTheBar 

campaign estimates a maximum of 

£1.365bn in Government support is needed to 

enable the RHLG grant to support all 54,638 

businesses falling within a business rates 

threshold of £51,000 to £150,000. 

Croydon BID is leading the #RaiseTheBar 

campaign and has been joined by over 

100 BIDs and many political leaders. 

UK High Streets are on the brink of collapse 

as the eight-week countdown to the next 

quarterly rent instalment begins today, according 

to the #RaiseTheBar campaign. 

This is a collective campaign designed to 

support the people that work for and run 

businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure 

sectors. Across the UK, there are individual, 

personal concerns and uncertainties surrounding 

the economy and the effect that 

COVID-19 will have on them. In amending 

the rateable value from £51,000 to £150,000, 

we not only save businesses but we also save 

jobs. 

Supporting and shopping local has never been 

more vital and fortunately we live in a digital age 

where you can get goods and services online and 

over the telephone. 

Since lockdown, many of your local shops have 

changed their business models to offer delivery 

services so we’ve put together this directory of 

businesses that are still trading, their opening 

hours and how you can order with them. 

OPEN FOR 

BUSINESS! 

(Virtually) 

SHOP 

HERE! 

Please remember to follow the 

latest government advice if 

collecting your order and keep 

two metres apart at ALL times. 

Now you can support your 

local businesses from 

the comfort of your 

own home, from delicious 

food takeaways to 

home deliveries, you’ll 

find details on all the 

amazing offerings still 

available from our incredible 

businesses. 

This directory will be regularly 

updated so please keep checking 

as more are added. 

There are a number of Streatham businesses 

still open to provide essential products and 

services to their local community. 

Of course, essential stores are also open; 

supermarkets and banks.

STREATHAM’S STREETSPACE 

CHALLENGE 

Lambeth Council has 

immediately wrote to Lambeth 

helping Streatham bicycle 

published plans for reducing 

Council and TfL alerting them to 

commuters by expediting 

road danger and the risk of 

pinch points on Streatham High 

Cycle Quietway Route 5 from

part of a Transport Strategy 

Emergency Response 

(TSER). This includes 

immediate changes to the 

highway to allow physical 

distancing to take place at high 

priority locations in line with 

Government guidance. 

None of the locations 

mentioned is in Streatham. 

Neil says: “Similar issues are 

being experienced close to bus 

stops on a number of other 

high streets across London, so 

we shall wait to see whether 

temporarily cordoning off a part 

of the bus lane close to these 

two bus stops for as long as 

social distancing measures 

need to be in place may be the 

involve asking Wandsworth 

Council to allow the route to 

cross Tooting Common, where 

cycling is currently prohibited. 

Quietways are continuous cycle 

routes on less-busy backstreets 

across London. They are 

marked with purple signs and 

are good for people who want 

to cycle on lower-traffic streets.

Three priority areas are 

problem.” 

identified in the Council’s 

Neil Salt 

This is because problematic 

areas are on Streatham High 

Rd, which is under the control 

of Transport for London. We 

expect Lambeth recognise that 

this is a significant problem in 

some places in Streatham. In 

places like those pictured – 

Almost concurrently, the Mayor 

of London and TfL announced 

the Streetspace initiative, 

giving space to new cycle 

lanes and wider pavements 

to enable social distancing. 

Wider footways on high streets 

will facilitate local economic 

recovery by allowing space to 

queue for shops and for people 

to safely pass while socially 

distancing.

to stop shop displays restricting 

pavement width, and to extend 

pathways into the roads with 

temporary infrastructure.

Salt, Chair of Streatham Action 

Transport after receiving a big 

response to posting photos 

on @heartstreatham. He 

TfL anticipate that cycling could 

increase 10-fold and walking 

five-fold post-lockdown, and 

they aim rapidly to repurpose 

London’s streets to serve 

demand. Creating new walking 

and cycling on the A23 between 

Oval and Streatham Hill was 

specified – though no details 

have been released yet. 

The TSER also mentions 

reduce road 

danger and prevent increased 

traffic levels once movement 

restrictions are eased. The 

‘Oval triangle’ is the one most 

likely to be prioritised due to its 

link to the full implementation of 

Cycleway 5. Unfortunately, the 

map of the proposed route is 

missing from the TfL website. -

The Food Care Packs Project 

We heard about Afsha Mohamed and Rifka 

Khan because as soon as the lockdown 

started they were posting in our local COVID 

Mutual Aid WhatsApp group for volunteers 

to collect food packs from them to deliver 

around south London . 

The friends set up The 

Food Care Packs Project 

on 23rd March to help 

vulnerable people in the 

community. “Initially, we 

made around 25 food care 

packs and shared them on 

the Lambeth Mutual Aid 

page to encourage others 

Nisha to set up similar initiatives 

in their areas. This was 

early in the lockdown, before Lambeth had 

set anything up.” Said Afsha. 

With the help of family, friends, mosques, 

church groups, Mutual Aid groups, and other 

organisations they have now supported many 

people. 

“Our packs have been going to the elderly, 

single mothers, care leavers, those waiting 

for Universal Credit or struggling financially, 

those with health issues, women living in 

refuges and many more.” Recipients live all 

over South London and deliveries are made 

by local people who have joined Streatham 

Mutual Aid Volunteer groups. 

“We have been sad to see people on 

our doorsteps, who do not have enough 

food - some have gone hungry for days 

before reaching out. We have been able 

to provide them with 

practical help and 

signpost them towards 

long-term support,” said 

Afsha, “The Streatham 

community has been 

amazing and so 

supportive.” 

The group has been able 

to fulfil every request 

for food with door to 

Afsha 

door delivery through 

residents’ volunteering. “Everyone has had a 

can-do attitude and whenever a request has 

been put in for a delivery, someone has come 

forward, in most cases within 10 minutes of 

posting. I’m really proud to be from SW16”, 

commented Afsha. 

Recipients of the Food Care Packs have 

made some heart-warming comments. 

“l salute you ladies for your kind deeds..Stay 

blessed and safe” 

“I can’t thank you enough…You're all angels.” 

“We don’t even know one another and have 

never even crossed paths before… and you 

cared for me” 

“ I tell my family back home that you give 

me food box for free and there is a Good 

Samaritan. I also tell my friends; I cannot 

keep it to myself! A million thanks!” 

Afsha and Rifka are now also working closely 

with SWAN (Southern Women’s Aid Network) 

to offer food packs to those in need in South 

West London. - Jane Wroe Wright
