No Christmas Fair on Crown Road
Sadly there will be no Christmas Fair in Crown Road this year. The St Margarets Traders Association, who normally organises the event, has decided to take a year off from hosting the event. The fair is an enormous amount of work for the Traders Association and requires coordination with the traders, local school PTAs, Richmond Council, Met Police, fun fair people, craft stalls, bands, street performers, street closure, insurance, lighting and clean-up to name a few. Hopefully next year the tradition returns.

CPZ Consultation in St Margarets Delayed
bq.. “The consultation for the proposed Controlled Parking Zone [CPZ] in St Margaret’s village will not start until late January at the earliest. The Council’s Cabinet plans to decide at its meeting on Monday, 15 January 2007, on the details of its new charging scheme for CPZs, which is currently out to consultation (see Consultation on emission based charging for parking permits and note the deadline for receipt of completed questionnaires and comments is 15 December 2006.)
If all runs to plan, the consultation will start as soon as is feasible after January 15 and will contain full details of the charges that will apply if a CPZ is created. A legal challenge to the new scheme (unlikely but possible) will delay matters further.”

Art Deco London - Local Book, Local Bargain
Art Deco London written by local resident Colin Hines with photographs by Paul Riddle and Keith Cheetham is the first ever guide book to the 20’s and 30’s deco delights of the capital. Its 60 pages contain 110 superb colour photographs and shows where in London magnificent examples of art deco can be found, eaten and quaffed in, slept in, shopped in, and campaigned for. Its deco delights range from ‘palaces of the people’ cinemas (many saved thanks to bingo), theatres, hotels, homes, shops, museums, a deco hospital and even a ‘decover and out’ crematorium.
