Meet The Southeastern Managers This Thursday 18th August
Although we can't help felt this is primarily an exercise in PR, we still think that it may be worth some of us taking the opportunity to let off steam and make serious contributions to the discussion about Blackheath rail services. Let's be honest the chance of any Southeastern managers reading the local Blackheath blogs is not that great; yes we know someone may cite exceptions to the rule, but on the whole it's still worth some of us making time to talk to them face-to-face.
Senior Southeastern managers will be available at Charing Cross station on 18 August between 8am and 10am to answer any questions you may have about our service.
If you would like to talk to them, please make your way to the Southeastern stand located on the main platform concourse.

Simple Yet Brilliant Site To Help Looted Businesses
De-Loot London’s mission is to make sure that not a single shop that was looted during the riots is forced to close. While a small number of people did the damage, we can all help our local, independent businesses recover by spending our money with them.
This is exactly how we feel help can be given to affected Blackheath business owners.
On their site is a map, this map will show you where your money will do the most good.
If you know a looted Blackheath shop that’s not on the map, send details to help@delootlondon.co.uk and they will add it. Let’s go shopping, and DeLoot London!
Fergus Noone Photography Comes To Blackheath

Lewisham Council Offers Help For Blackheath Traders
Thankfully no-one (as far as I know) got hurt and I am sure most residents and regular visitors to Blackheath will have noticed the much vamped up police presence in the area ever since then. Now for the recovery of our local businesses. For those businesses affected by the riots in the Borough of Lewisham, the Mayor has written a letter setting out advice on police assistance and making claims for insurance and Riot Damage Act payments. The letter also includes the announcement of a local Business Recovery Grant of £125,000 for businesses in most immediate need of help, as well as a lenient approach in collecting Business Rates. I know some businesses are still having affected problems with post, so the letter can be seen here.
Whilst all this help is welcome, it may be of little use if it is not given quickly given the cash flow needed by small businesses and the impact of much less trade happening since the riots. Often there is an understandable concern that paperwork can take too long to process, so if help is needed to push it along please get in touch in one of the ways listed below.

Ducklings On The Blackheath Pond
Blackheath Farmers’ Market
If you are new to the area, or just visiting, then check out the Blackheath farmers' market, located in the car park of Blackheath rail station it takes place every Sunday come rain or shine (or snow as last winter showed!).
In their words "As befits a market that's been established for many years it seems as if everyone knows the farmers by name. It's very much a social gathering, with customers queueing patiently whilst waiting for the market bell to ring!
A great selection of farm produce is on offer, look out for fresh farm milk from Sussex, Andrew Linghams great beef pasties and fresh fish from the south coast." We particularly like the man who sells leafy greens (and is usually at the bottom end of the market) his produce is fantastic and he is incredibly knowledgeable. He has recently branched out and had lots of juicy tomatoes, peppers and berries at the weekend.
