  3. Catford Broadway • Next two Sunday markets set for 2 February and 2 March. • On offer: street food, cakes and pastries, craft and vintage stalls. • Many of the traders are graduates from the Council’s market trader training scheme, and still trading over a year since they finished the course.

  4. Catford Centre • CRPL (Council’s Regeneration Company for Catford) is continuing to manage the Shopping Centre. • Currently the Centre has no vacant units. • A ‘pay & display’ machine has been re-installed in the Holbeach Road car park, after the cashless parking pilot ended.

  5. Transforming Catford • The Council has been undertaking a ‘market exploration’ exercise to gather feedback from developers, architects and commercial agents about possible ‘ways forward’ for Catford in general/ the three Council-owned sites in particular. • The next few months will be spent reviewing, distilling and furthering ideas.

  6. Catford Canteen • Events at the Catford Canteen – a pop-up restaurant in what was the one-and-only vacant unit – have continued to sell out. • Upcoming events/menus include Bajan, Vietnamese, Italian, and jazz and jambalaya. • For more details / to book, visit www.grubclub.com/ catfordcanteen.

  7.

  8. Road network and Local Plan • TfL and the GLA have developed a renewed interest in the realignment of the South Circular to the rear of Laurence House. • Work on the Catford Plan – the planning framework for Catford – has been temporarily halted while TfL carry out their study, which should take an estimated 6 months.

  9. Smaller projects • With landscape architects, we have been looking at how to improve the spaces between the major development sites - temporarily, short-term and long-term. • This work will have two main outcomes: - an exemplar project or projects - a document that can be used for bidding for funding or to direct developer contributions.

  10. Moving forward • The market exploration exercise has demonstrated that there is a high level of interest in Catford. • The steps the Council has taken to date (purchasing the shopping centre, refurbishing Catford Broadway) have helped to further stimulate that interest. • Officers will continue to progress different initiatives alongside the overall transformation/ redevelopment plans.
