Firefighter Richard Purvess (right) presented with his
long service award by Sir David Brewer Kt CMG,
Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London.
Blue Watch to Bay
Watch
Appearing as an extra in London’s Burning and
meeting Baywatch star David Hasselhoff have
gone hand in hand with fighting fires for Dartford’s Richard Purvess, during his 30 years with
London Fire Brigade.
At a special ceremony held at the Brigade’s training centre in Southwark Richard was presented
with a long service award to mark his three
decades as a firefighter.
For the majority of his career Richard was based
at Dockhead Fire Station where the TV series
London’s Burning was filmed.
As well as appearing as an extra in ten episodes he acted as a technical and health and safety advisor on the show.
He also met Bay Watch star David Hasselhoff
when he visited the station as part of a promotional tour for the US TV series.
Following 24 years at Dockhead, Richard transferred to Plumstead Fire Station and since 2005
he has worked in the Community Safety Team at
Greenwich
All empty offices
must pay rates!
Property consultant Peter Simons who owns
Prospect House and Tudor Cottages in Foots
Cray is furious with the government for
changing the law so that all empty offices must
now pay National Non-Domestic rates with
no exceptions.
He has written to Privy Councillor the
Rt.
Hon John Hutton who is the Secretary for
State for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory
Reform asking him to explain how he is
supposed to finance the payment of rates when
there is at present no demand for small office
space.
Neither can he sell his property because
there is no market for such premises!
He is now questioning whether it is official
government policy to completely destroy small
businesses like his or have they not thought
through the consequences of their actions?
SCHOOLS CLUSTER
VISIT TO HOUSES OF
PARLIAMENT
The Swanley & District Schools Cluster Council went on a visit to the Houses of Parliament
recently and were seen off by the Mayor of
Swanley, Cllr Michael Mahy.
The young people, representatives from all
the primary and senior schools in and around
Swanley, enjoyed a fascinating insight into the
democratic process when they had a tour of the
Houses of Parliament including the House of
Lords and the Queen’s Robing Room.
They
then had a private meeting with local MP
Michael Fallon, when he spoke of his life as an
MP, followed by some very probing questions
from the children.
The Mayor said “I am delighted to know that
our local young people are learning why voting
is important and how to influence decision making, right from local to national level.
I understand that they really enjoyed their visit to the
seat of national politics, especially meeting their
MP.
” Get active
Bored at week-end and nights, well why not
join an organisation which does flying,
adventure training, sports etc.
Air Cadets 1227 (Sidcup) are holding a
recruitment night for 13-16 year olds on the
