Thames Barrier car park ravers apply to dance all year round

Organisers are planning another event on February 18 but now want a permanent licence to host them all year round

Plans have been lodged with Greenwich Council for outdoor raves to be held all year round in a car park close to the Thames Barrier.

A number of events have already been held on the site at Herringham Road, next to the Bunker 51 paintball venue, with residents complaining about noise on at least one occasion. Another event is planned for February 18.

Those events have been held with temporary licences, but now a newly-formed company wants a permanent licence to host 800 people on the site on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as Sundays during bank holiday weekends.

The application comes from Thecarparkldn Ltd, which was registered on January 15 by Andreas Millios at offices in Shoreditch, according to Companies House records.

Last year Millios had an application for an event in Morden refused by Merton Council after police objections, while a New Year’ Eve event in St Albans was also thrown out by the local council.

Millios’s company is applying for live music, recorded music, dancing and alcohol licences at 3 Herringham Road until 4am and to keep the premises open until 4.30am. It says events will not be held on consecutive weekends and restricted to two weekends per month.

The nearest neighbours to the venue are actually across the Thames, in the Barrier Point and Royal Wharf developments in Silvertown, but this website is aware of noise complaints in Charlton from past events.

One objection seen by this website says that people living a kilometre away were kept up until 4am and added: “It sounded like a very loud party at the end of the road, but in fact it was an incredibly noisy party further away.”

An outline of the car park application can be downloaded here, which contains details of how to respond. All responses need to be made by February 27. To contact your local councillors, visit writetothem.com.

In 2018, the developer Komoto applied to build up to 500 homes on the car park site, which was home to the Johnsen & Jorgensen glass works until the early 1980s. Revised proposals were submitted in 2021, but little has happened since with the scheme, called Flint Glass Wharf.

Separate proposals for 1,200 homes on land surrounding the rave site were approved in March last year, with the area described as “horrible” by the chair of planning at the time, Stephen Brain, who approved the plans on his casting vote. Construction plans were recently submitted to the council, although a March start date for work on Herringham Quarter looks likely to be missed.

Plan to knock down former Bowes shoe shop rejected by Greenwich Council

The old Bowes shoe shop closed at Christmas 2015

Plans to demolish one of Charlton Village’s best-loved shops have been halted after an intervention from Greenwich Council’s conservation officer.

No objections were received to the proposal to knock down the old Bowes shoe shop, which closed in December 2015.

A developer wanted to build a new shop on the ground floor with two 2-bedroom flats and two studio flats to match the parade of shops next door. “The property is in a bad condition thus demolition will be more suitable,” planning documents submitted to Greenwich Council said.

But Greenwich’s planning officers threw out the plan, saying the “development would result in the demolition of a building which positively contributes to the character of the Charlton Village Conservation Area”.

The Charlton Society did not lodge a comment on the application, although one individual wrote in to observe that “the view of Docklands enjoyed by 34-44 The Village would be lost”, without making an objection.

33 The Village
Bowes was one of the last remaining traditional shops

The council’s conservation officer said that: “The significance of the building lies in its historic contribution to the understanding of the development of the area; and its architectural/aesthetic contribution to the character and appearance of the Charlton Village Conservation Area.

“The building’s diminutive scale and proportions; its traditional shopfront; and its overall appearance make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, which retains a real village identity. The latter is in danger of being eroded by new development.”

There were also concerns about the effect on neighbouring properties, whether the new flats would have sufficient light, and about car parking.

Since the shop closed it has mostly remained empty, although it did briefly trade as a gift shop in the run-up to Christmas. The council issued its rejection in December, but the decision has only recently come to light.

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 1-2 Bolton Wanderers

kevinnolan

Kevin Nolan's Valley View

Bolton Wanderers brought a reality check to the Valley following the Addicks’ recent revival. KEVIN NOLAN was there to report.

Charlton’s three-game winning streak in League One was brought to a sobering end by tough customers Bolton Wanderers, who proved savvier than their mid-table hosts and won far more comfortably than the scoreline suggests. Dean Holden’s boys battled gamely but were put in their sub mid-table place by Ian Evatt’s more
streetwise men.

Making four changes from the side that beat Barnsley last time out, Holden fielded another bespoke starting eleven presumably geared to combat Bolton both physically and tactically. To which end, he handed a second full debut to Macauley Bonne and preferred new signing Matt Penney to Steven Sessegnon as a replacement for injured left back Todd Kane. Elsewhere, Albie Morgan took over from Jack Payne, while Corey Blackett-Taylor returned at the expense of Tyreece Campbell.

Still unsure of his best side, Holden’s latest tinkering met with mixed success. Bonne struggled to escape the ruthless clutches of gigantic Trotters skipper Ricardo Santos, his efforts to elude his no-nonsense marker compromised by a first touch charitably described as “rusty” but more unkindly as “concrete.” An eager Leaburn would surely have fared better.

Penney, meanwhile, soldiered through an awkward, nervy first appearance. His understandable desire to make a favourable impression led to errors, none of which impacted on the result but hardly inspired the confidence of his new colleagues. The excellent Sessegnon, whose presence on the bench must surely imply his fitness, is the club’s best left back and should be a regular starter until his form dictates otherwise.

In midfield, Morgan did more than enough to earn Holden’s approval. His passing was sometimes erratic, at other times spot-on but his contribution not only included a brilliant equaliser but the creation of an “on a plate” chance for Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, which the Crystal Palace loanee contrived to bungle from no more than four yards, with the scores level. If the winger had scored, as he should have done, Charlton might have stolen this game but, of course, “if ifs and ands were pots and pans, there’d be no work for tinkers.”

From Evatt’s contented point of view, the best way to begin what he agreed was a perfect away performance, was with an early goal. This was duly delivered in the fourth minute by Aaron Morley, who bent a 30-yard free kick beyond Ashley Maynard-Brewer’s reach and in off the keeper’s right-hand post. It was a strike of sumptuous quality, made possible by the arbitrary decision of referee Carl Brook that will o’ the wisp Shola Shoretire had been tripped during a mutually scruffy skirmish.

Urgent and elusive, Shoretire was a persistent nuisance to the home side. Soon after Morley’s opener, he skilfully set up scorer Dion Charles with the formality of finishing from point blank range, an outstanding chance which the prolific striker botched by hitting first Maynard-Brewer’s outstretched leg, then the crossbar as the ball ricocheted upward. Charles’ jaw-dropping miss rivalled Rak-Sakyi’s in waywardness but Dion wasn’t easily discouraged and would be heard from again before the end of hostilities.

Before the interval, the Trotters piled on the pressure, in search of an all-important second goal. Gethin Jones’ crisp daisycutter whizzed narrowly wide, Morley prodded Kyle Dempsey’s pass inches off target and Charles forced a smart save from Maynard-Brewer, The one-way traffic was interrupted only Rak-Sakyi’s solo run and crisp shot which James Trafford scrambled to safety at the foot of a post.

Less than a minute into the second half, the Addicks were level. And an outstanding goal it was, the result of intricate passing on the edge of the visitors’s penalty area, which culminated in a fast exchange between Morgan and Rak-Sakyi. Given only fleeting sight of goal near the 18-yard line, Morgan made the most of the brief opening by drilling an unstoppable low drive into the left corner. A dramatic change in fortunes seemed feasible but Rak-Sakyi’s clumsy miss rather dampened The Valley’s burgeoning enthusiasm.

Slugging it out on a more even basis by now, Charlton were grateful for Maynard-Brewer’s agility as their young Aussie keeper spectacularly tipped another rocket from Morley over the bar. At the other end, Trafford had the somewhat easier task of stopping a swerving free kick from Morgan. The issue was delicately balanced until an all too familiar defensive mix-up handed victory to the grateful North Westerners.

The question of responsibility for dealing with what was no more than a hopeful ball lifted over the top rested principally between an advancing Maynard-Brewer and Ryan Inniss, whose vulnerability in similar circumstances is a matter of record. The centre back’s weak header was pounced on by Dempsey, who nodded past the committed keeper. With the home defence in hopeless tatters, Charles was left with the simple task of finishing into a yawning net. Shame the league’s nosey parkers couldn’t have left well alone and banned him instead of Elias Kachunga following last week’s cock-up against Forest Green Rovers but even the most curmudgeonly of Charlton fans (and I take some beating) would have to admit justice was done.

Results like Morecambe’s demolition of Bristol Rovers, not to mention Burton’s win over Oxford, in the shorter view, leave Charlton looking anxiously over their shoulders at the relegation quagmire below them. Those three wins on the spin take on a new importance. The 2022-23 League One season… you can have my share of it. It’s a bloody nightmare! And you may quote me…

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 2-0 Barnsley

Darryl Chamberlain

Kevin Nolan's Valley View

Buoyed by their midweek efforts against Manchester United, would the Addicks disappoint against Barnsley in the league? Not a bit, reports KEVIN NOLAN.

Charlton made it three league wins in a row with this victory over Michael Duff’s talented Barnsley side. It was achieved in front of a supportive crowd, which got behind the honest effort and total commitment on display and vocally hauled their exhausted heroes over the line. A period of rest and recovery could well be part of manager Dean Holden’s agenda before the testing trip to Peterborough next Saturday.

Handicapped immediately before kick-off when Steven Sessegnon was injured while warming up, Holden dealt with the setback by moving debutant Todd Kane to left back and summoning the dependability of Sean Clare from the bench.

In first-half added time, he lost Kane to a worrying hamstring complaint, which brought Eoghan O’Connell into the fray earlier than intended.
Both Clare and O’Connell proved solid replacements as the Addicks responded with commendable spirit to disruption. Their resistance to Barnsley’s bordered at times on epic; they rode their luck, particularly when the visitors twice hit the woodwork before the interval and were understandably grateful for the frankly comical finishing which let them off the hook in the second session.

The grip which the Tykes exerted during an awkward opening quarter-hour was ominous. Camped in Charlton’s half, they looked an odds-on bet to open the scoring, particularly when Jordan Williams’ vicious long-range drive forced a hurried, two-handed save from Ashley Maynard-Brewer. There were other narrow squeaks but, with Ryan Inniss and Lucas Ness inspiring their defiant mood, Holden’s men survived.

Better than that, they broke cover to take the lead on 19 minutes, admittedly against the run of play but impressive nonetheless. Preferred to Corey Blackett-Taylor on the left flank, Tyreece Campbell hadn’t seen much of the ball while Charlton struggled to gain a foothold. A couple of neat touches hinted at the teenager’s undoubted talent but the directness of his first meaningful contribution came as a shock, not only to the delighted locals, but to the spread-out travelling fans behind Bradley Collins’ goal.

Already in full flight as combative Jack Payne bustled his way into possession inside his own half, an uninhibited Campbell accepted his chunky teammate’s pass in his stride, showed strength to hold off Liam Kitching and let fly on the run from outside the visitors’ penalty area. Surprised at his near post by the sheer velocity of the strike, Collins was helpless to prevent it from bulging the net behind him.

Youth, it seems, is not entirely wasted on the young – not while Charlton’s vaunted academy continues to produce quality of this calibre.

At 20 years old, Ness is, by comparison with the likes of Campbell, an old stager who stood firm alongside a rock-like Inniss in keeping Barnsley at bay. Neither of them – nor the imperturbable Maynard-Brewer – could do anything to stop the 25-yard screamer from Josh Benson which struck the crossbar before bouncing precariously to safety.

Benson netted a similar effort at Oakwell back in September but mere inches were his enemy this time around. Similarly unlucky was Scottish midfielder Nicky Cadden, whose far post header in first half added time also clipped the bar and fell harmlessly in the Addicks’ favour.

Under steady pressure after the break, Charlton were in sore need of the insurance provided by a second goal. That eventuality looked unlikely until, on the hour, they surprised themselves as much as anyone by coming up with exactly what they required. And both 58th minute substitutes Macauley Bonne and Aaron Henry were heavily involved, proof if it were needed, that Holden’s decisions were sprinkled with stardust.

Henry’s battling header reached Bonne, whose instant shot on the turn struck the base of the right post. Where neither of Barnsley’s rebounded favourably, Bonne’s effort sat up kindly to present Jesurun Rak-Sakyi an unmissable tap-in. It was that kind of afternoon for the frustrated South Yorkshiremen, in whose care the proverbial barn door was safe during a profligate second half.

Fatigue became Charlton’s main adversary as the final whistle neared. Even the normally indefatigable George Dobson wilted but was shored up by the growing influence of Scott Fraser. Every homeboy contributed to their resistance, none more so than Campbell, whose never-say-die attitude was exemplified by the resourceful tackle he conjured from a prone position.

Blocks became commonplace, bodies were put selflessly on the line. This was potentially a season-changing result and might even have been more emphatic had Inniss directed a late point-blank header either side of Collins. This was no occasion for complaint, though, more a chance to celebrate a victory both heroically won and unreservedly savoured. Same again please!

Charlton: Maynard-Brewer, Clare, Inniss, Ness, Kane (O’Connell 45), Dobson, Rak-Sakyi, Payne (Henry 58), Fraser, Campbell (Blackett-Taylor 83), Leaburn (Bonne 58). Not used: Harness, Stockley, Morgan. Booked: Clare, Inniss, Bonne.

Charlton should be on Silvertown Tunnel bus network, Greenwich & Woolwich MP says

Darryl Chamberlain
An early proposal involved routing the 335 to Kidbrooke via Charlton

Greenwich & Woolwich MP Matt Pennycook has criticised the lack of a route through Charlton plans for the new Silvertown Tunnel bus network.

Transport for London indicated that a service through Charlton would be part of its plans when it applied for permission to build the tunnel in 2016.

But last year, it was announced that just two routes are set to use the new tunnel, which will run from North Greenwich to the Royal Docks when it opens in 2025.

There would be an extension of the 129 route, which currently runs from Lewisham to North Greenwich, to London City Airport and Great Eastern Quays, a housing development at Beckton.

And a new service, the X239, would run from Grove Park to Blackheath before running fast through the A102 and the new tunnel to Canary Wharf. Despite Greenwich councillors – and Pennycook’s predecessor Nick Raynsford – being among the loudest backers of the tunnel when it was proposed more than a decade ago, the X239 would just serve a handful of stops in the borough.

No services would run through Charlton, despite a possible service from Canary Wharf to Charlton Church Lane, Blackheath and Grove Park featuring in the submission to the Planning Inspectorate, and a service linking Charlton and Kidbrooke being shared with council officers.

In a letter to Transport for London, Pennycook – who has opposed the tunnel since the start – said it was “deeply regrettable” that just 20 buses per hour would be serving the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels, compared with the 37.5 suggested before. This includes the existing 108 service, which would be mostly unchanged.

“I am concerned at the absence of any proposed cross-river route serving Charlton,” he wrote.

“The indicative network published by TfL in 2016 included a new Canary Wharf to Grove Park route serving the Charlton community and a specific bus corridor running through Charlton to Kidbrooke and beyond was identified in Silvertown Tunnel Implementation Group documentation up until last year.

“The Silvertown Buses Supporting Document published alongside the consultation makes clear that a corridor of high demand, distinct from the Woolwich Road corridor connecting Woolwich to North Greenwich, exists “towards Kidbrooke and through Charlton”.

“Given population forecasts for the Charlton area, in particular the projected increase associated with the development of the Charlton Riverside Opportunity Area, I would urge you to give further consideration to how Charlton might be served by a new or existing cross-river route.”

The proposed bus network

TfL documentation supplied as part of a consultation into the new network said that it considered rerouting the 335 service via Charlton Church Lane and extending it to Beckton, but dropped the idea because it would inconvenience too many existing users of the route

A spokesperson told our sister site 853 when the consultation was first launched that proposals “make the best use of our resources and match the ridership levels we expect when Silvertown Tunnel opens”.

“This plan is currently just a proposal. No decisions have yet been made and we encourage people to get in touch with feedback to help us shape our plans,” the spokesperson said.

TfL’s consultation is open until tomorrow (January 11) at haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/silvertown-tunnel-bus-network.

Kevin Nolan’s Valley View: Charlton Athletic 2-1 Lincoln City

kevinnolan

Kevin Nolan's Valley View

Charlton survived a nervy end to the match – played amid a downpour at The Valley – to record their first home win since mid-October. KEVIN NOLAN was there to see it.

Carried along for 45 minutes on the crest of a wave which began breaking at Fratton Park five days previously, a newly-confident Charlton played Lincoln City off the park, scored two splendid goals and seemed on their way to comprehensive victory. It was, of course, too good to be true and by the time seven added second-half minutes had elapsed, the Addicks were bedraggled and hanging on desperately. Plus ça change, then.

The first half was a pleasure to watch and a privilege to report. A side unchanged, with the exception of Craig McGillivray in goal for concussion-hit Ashley Maynard-Brewer, tore into their visitors with confidence boosted by their excellent – and customary – win over Portsmouth (bless their nautical hides!).

With midfield domination secured by the outstanding trio of Scott Fraser, Albie Morgan and the all-purpose George Dobson, Dean Holden’s aggressive line-up threw off a diffident start and hardly gave the Imps a look-in until the interval came to their rescue. Holden’s front three, featuring the tricks and pace of wide men Corey Blackett-Taylor and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on either side of Miles Leaburn’s precocious self-assurance, gave City all they could handle.

In the early going, Morgan’s terrific diagonal pass gave Blackett-Taylor the space he needed to cross to the far post, where Rak-Sakyi shot tamely into Carl Rushworth’s hands.

With the pressure mounting, Fraser’s free kick was headed narrowly wide by Leaburn, before shots from Fraser and Rak-Sakyi curled inches off target. Charlton’s breakthrough was surprisingly delayed until the 35th minute, when the bang in-form Scot started and finished a move which broke Lincoln’s weakening resistance.

Bursting through the centre circle, Fraser picked out Leaburn, unmarked on the right flank, with a sweeping pass and continued his run through the inside left channel. Blackett-Taylor’s challenge in the middle proved a useful distraction as Leaburn’s deep cross from the byline proceeded, untouched, to Fraser, who directed a deliberate header back across Rushworth. The keeper managed a touch but couldn’t prevent its flight into the far corner.

Three minutes before the break, the Addicks doubled their lead, with Fraser again heavily involved. Sent away by Dobson’s perceptive pass, he delivered an inch-perfect through ball which Blackett-Taylor took seamlessly in his stride. Moving wide of a struggling Joe Walsh, the portsider hammered an unstoppable drive past Rushworth, who curiously shouldered arms as the shot whizzed past him.

A third goal would clearly have finished off Mark Kennedy’s men and a golden chance to do so was squandered by Charlton shortly after the resumption. Cutting inside Harry Boyes, Rak-Sakyi forced a smart parrying save from Rushworth.

Flying in to meet the inviting rebound, Leaburn shovelled it haplessly over the bar from four yards. At the time, his miss seemed no more than a blip in an otherwise smooth performance by the Addicks. But for the relieved Imps, a small and apparently insignificant corner had been turned. They had nothing more to lose – and possibly a point or better to gain.

A tame effort scuffed tamely at McGillivray by substitute Charles Vernam hardly dripped with menace but, with a quarter of an hour remaining, City reduced their arrears and dramatically changed the momentum.

Charlton’s previously-untroubled defence was reduced to rubble as Danny Mandriou emerged from a hectic penalty-spot scramble with clear sight of McGillivray’s goalposts. His first effort was heroically charged down by Steven Sessegnon, his second brilliantly blocked by Dobson. At the third time of asking, Mandriou found the net off the underside of the bar and filled three sides of The Valley with a familiar sense of foreboding. You could say it goes with the territory.

By the time seven added minutes were announced, the Addicks were falling apart but lurching toward an important home win, their first since Portsmouth (put your hands together for good old Pompey, so often Charlton’s help in ages past) came to the rescue back on October 17th last year.

But Kennedy’s Imps had one last shot in their locker and hearts leapt into mouths as Mandriou, set up cleverly by Teddy Bishop, drilled it heart-stoppingly wide of the left post. It’s a game of inches, so they say, and all of Charlton’s earlier superiority would have counted for nothing – or next to nothing – if Mandriou’s drive had passed to the right rather than the left of McGillivray’s far upright.

But when you catch a wave, it makes sense to ride it. We’re coming for you next, United…
