I was chuffed to hear that the Herne Hill Velodrome access from Burbage Road has been given a 15 year lease by the Dulwich Estate.

Well done to the Save Herne Hill Velodrome for coming up with a sensible proposition that the Dulwich Estate felt they could back with a 15 year lease. Clearly not out of the woods yet but a good step forward.

As part of this campagin, led by Hilary Peachey, architects Hopkins Architects have produced some plans and model which will be on display at Dulwich College great hall 7.30-m to 9.30pm 22 March.

Unfortunately I’ll be away on business out of London. But I wish the scheme well. Hope it’s really ambitious for this venue so that it becomes truly sustainable. And also that it meets all the planning requirements and can be approved by a planning committee.
