Local residents should be consulted about the location of a library, since it's a local service for local people!

Once the orchard gone, it's gone. I would have though the council would have had the sense to stop & think rather than blindly trundle through the process to destruction, simply because it was too difficult to do anything else

The library currently use three shops. If it is relocated there are likely to be three empty shops. I suggested extending into adjoining shops. I have since noted that the polish shop a couple of doors down is empty and there is therefore a shop vacant in this parade. If the hairdresser at the corner next to Artichoke Place could be offered to move to this empty shop this would provide the Library with a door onto this space which it is proposed to enhance. There are two further empty shops on the north side of Camberwell Church Street. This could potentionally mean that the Library could extend beyond one shop unit. Whilst moving a shop has costs, and phased building work it must quite small in comparision with building a new building.

Mature, well tended trees are of much more value to biodiversity than landscaped, immature shrubs which 'look nice' outside a new development. They also help much more with Flood Risk.

What to Southwark Council seems to be a piece of wasteland, is an impoertant part of our heritage. "The Green" must be preserved in it's current form for future generations.

Robb [Signature #172] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14425810?utm_medium=rss Camberwell does not have many green spaces and this little oasis should not be built on. Why not consider part of Morrison's car park...never more than one or two cars on there (most people who shop there can't afford cars, myself included), and the redundant, dead-end street that runs parallel to it. Or, put the new library in the Butterfly shopping arcade...some of the shop units are regularly empty there and MacDonalds could go since it is an eyesore and source of litter.a Or take your pick of any number of junk food outlets that the area is blighted with...there you have plenty of buildings to use rather than building more on precious, unspoiled ground. Lastly, do we really need a larger library given that there is one just up the road in Peckham?

We most strongly object to any proposal to build the new Library on this site, and ask you to find more suitable sites. At present you are 'consulting' on the next
Biodiversity Action Plan so it would not make sense to destroy it. It should be adjoined to Camberwell Green on the Open Spaces Strategy or the Core Strategy. The Library was supposed to have been part of the Safeway expansion
but never happened.

A library can be built anywhere, the forest garden should be respected and left for the next generation to enjoy and learn from!

It was magical, & more magical what happened over the years after that, watching inner city children get involved & grow to love the creatures they had planted.

There's a touching article here (in spanish!) about all this: http://bit.ly/JAhblJ
