Redrow and the Peel Centre: Is Boris in the clear?




Barnet Press: "'Avengers assemble' in Colindale"


Link to web site

"MARVEL superhero Thor couldn't help getting carried away as filming for the 2015 Avenger's sequel continued at the former Metropolitan Police Peel Centre in Colindale.

"Exclusive footage passed to The Press shows Chris Hemsworth's Norse demi god Thor, complete with iconic red cape hanging onto the front of an ambulance as it hurtles forward outside the now-derelict police training centre in Aerodrome Road.

"Over the past month The Peel Centre site, which is set to be redeveloped into a housing development and primary school, has been transformed into the fictional Eastern European city of Sokovia. The Met Police signs have been replaced with Serbian Cyrillic writing. The Grade II listed statue of Sir Robert Peel remains in place at the front of the building."

Redrow and the Peel Centre playing fields: Answers awaited



Police Use Of Peel Centre Running Track


Meeting:
Mayor's Question Time
Date:
Wednesday, 23 July 2014
Reference:
Question 2014/2960

 

Main question

Andrew Dismore
Will you join with me in praising the current substantial routine use of your Peel Centre running track by the Met's recruits and staff, as can be evidenced and photographed from passing Northern Line trains?

Are you happy to acknowledge that this running track is a serviceable facility, and not unusable, as may have been your impression?
An answer to this question will be uploaded within one week of the meeting.

Fiona Twycross (23-Jul-2014) 

Do you acknowledge that there will be many new London schools that do not have running track facilities on-site, and that demand for the current sites in London, whether currently public or private, will inevitably grow? Do you have any projections for this increased demand?

An answer to this question will be uploaded within one week of the meeting.

Running Tracks in London (2)


Fiona Twycross (23-Jul-2014):

Do you acknowledge that borough boundaries are often entirely irrelevant in planning running tracks and sports ground provision? What strategic role does the GLA play in this?

Running Tracks in London (3)

 
Fiona Twycross (23-Jul-2014):


Do you only use one criterion, that of 'agreed local provision', in deciding whether to support concreting over running tracks or not? If not, what other criteria do you consider? Do they include population number projections of children and of young inner-city Londoners?

An answer to this question will be uploaded within one week of the meeting.

Fiona Twycross (23-Jul-2014):

Regarding the running tracks listed by you in answer 2014/2273, do you support closure of any of them, and if so, from what exact date for each one has that been your policy, and why?

An answer to this question will be uploaded within one week of the meeting.
