Q&A on Police Issues
Q1: During the summer there was no police cover at Leathermarket. The police said that they could not send officers out due to staff shortages. There are drug addicts on Tabard Gardens and the Kipling Estate who are injecting in public and people, especially the elderly, are trapped in their homes out of fear.
A1: Cllr Bassom agreed that this is an issue and NOTED it.

Trinity Church Square

Classic London private square
Railed and gated garden, church access only. Grass, trees and benches. Trinity Square is the most complete and best-preserved square in South London. At its centre is the magnificent Holy Trinity Church known as the Henry Wood Hall of 1826, by architect Francis Bedford.
The Square was developed by Trinity House, the body responsible for in-shore navigation and safety in the 1820s, and through luck and their careful management it has survived bombs and the redeveloper. http://www.ideal-homes.org.uk/southwark/borough/trinity-church-square.htm
