Motion Signed by Councillors Paul Webbewood and Brian Woodcraft <div class="mgWordPara"><div class="Section1"> Council notes that:   ·              The timetable operating from December 13th 2009 has reduced from thirteen to ten the number of trains leaving Blackheath for London termini between 8am-9am.   ·              In both the morning and evening peaks there is a period of over two hours when no trains at all run on the link between Blackheath and Charlton.   ·              Over 1000 people have signed a petition on the 10 Downing St website opposing the new timetable.   ·              Southeasterntrains state that the changes to the Blackheath service are the result of Government requirements.   ·              Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said that he does not intend to do anything on this issue.   ·              Nick Raynsford MP considers the new timetable to be "generally good news".    Council disagrees with the Mayor of London and with Nick Raynsford and believes that the new timetable looks like bad news for people using Blackheath Station.   Council will therefore monitor Blackheath Station during the morning peak until the end of February and if trains appear to be excessively crowded will:   ·              Ask Southeastern trains and the Department for Transport to improve services at the earliest opportunity.   ·              Take every opportunity to publicise the situation, working where possible with Lewisham and Bexley Councils.   ·              Invite the three group leaders to send a joint letter to the Mayor of London and Nick Raynsford MP calling for their support.     </div> </div> <a name="AI4615"></a>15. Motion Signed by Councillors Chris Roberts and Nigel Fletcher <div class="mgWordPara"><div class="Section1"> Council welcomes the statement by Lord Mandelson in the House of Lords that Greenwich is to be designated as a Royal Borough in 2012.   Council records its deep gratitude to Her Majesty The Queen for conferring this rare honour upon the Borough in the year of Her Diamond Jubilee and notes that this honour is given in recognition of the long association of Greenwich with Royal history, as the birthplace of Henry VIII, Mary I and Elizabeth I., the site of the Royal Palaces of Greenwich and Eltham, and the Royal Dockyard and Royal Arsenal at Woolwich.   Council expresses its gratitude to the ongoing commitment of the present Royal family in Greenwich, most especially to the Duke of Edinburgh, who as Baron Greenwich has devoted more than half a century of service to the National Maritime Museum and the Cutty Sark.   Council acknowledges the enthusiastic welcome given to the announcement by the people of Greenwich and the sense of pride it has engendered and welcomes the opportunity this historic announcement provides to the Borough, and believes it should be used to secure lasting benefits to residents in all parts of the future Royal Borough.   Council requests the Chief Executive prepares a report for future consideration on the implementation and preparation for the Diamond Jubilee and the assumption of Royal Borough status in 2012.   </div> </div> <div class="mgHelpLine"> </div> </div> 2010-01-20T12:41:43+00:00
