The Women´s Bank Of Forging Goals And Dreams Group
Update on The Women´s Bank Of Forging Goals And Dreams GroupAt the end of the previous loan the members of "Banco Mujer Forjando Sueños y Metas" (Women's Bank of Forging Goals and Dreams) had expanded their business by increasing the number of bred pigs. They also had the opportunity of receiving some training workshops in motivational tools for successful women in business (combining the subjects of women, business and family). The training was conducted by a university student who offered these trainings within her practical volunteering activities in the framework of her studies. After the training sessions the microfinance institution Fundación Mujer set up groups of borrowers, and this group stands out because it is particularly well organized and responsible. Right now the group has added two new members from Banco Mujer, who had not applied for previous loans. Each member will receive 400,000 colones, which they will invest in the purchase of pigs and needed supplies to breed them. This group is a clear demonstration of the benefits that women from rural areas in the province of San José can achieve.
Previous Loan DetailsThe Women's Bank of Forging Goals and Dreams is comprised of six women members who live and work in Jaris, San Jose, in the central valley of Costa Rica. Historically, the members of this group have demonstrated their ability to fulfill their loan repayment responsibilities while undergoing diffi...

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

NEW YORK (AP) - There was nothing mysterious about Michael Pineda's performance this time. Masahiro Tanaka's dominant outing was pretty straight forward, too.
A day that began with snow in the outfield ended with a double whitewashing.
Pineda followed an overpowering outing by Tanaka with one of his own, pitching six innings of four-hit ball as the New York Yankees beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on a bitterly cold Wednesday night to complete its first doubleheader shutout sweep since 1987.
"It just goes to show you how well our pitchers threw," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "When you shut out a team for 18 innings you're doing things right."
Tanaka (2-0) struck out 10 and allowed just two bunt hits - one replay aided - over eight innings in a 3-0 win in the opener of the day-night twinbill. Carlos Beltran homered for a third straight game, off Jason Hammel in the first inning of the Cubs' first regular-season game at the current Yankee Stadium.
"That split is not something you want to sit on. It's not something you're going to be able to handle," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "But, as it was coming out of the hand, as the guys were coming in, they were saying, 'Gosh, it looks like a fastball. It ends up diving.'"
Brett Gardner and Scott Sizemore had RBI singles off Travis Wood (0-2) in the nightcap, helping the Yankees win for the fifth time in six games and handing Chicago its fourth straight loss.
New York had not won by shutout twice in one day since April 9, 1987, against Kansas City, according to STATS, and no team in the major leagues had done it since Minnesota swept Oakland on June 26, 1988.
The Cubs had not been blanked twice on the same day since Larry Jackson and Ray Sadecki pitched complete games for St. Louis on June 27, 1962.
Chicago was 9 for 61 (.148) at the plate, dropping its season average to .230, and struck out 17 times.
Pineda (2-1) was pitching for the first time since he was spotted with brown goo on his right hand during Thursday's 4-1 win against Boston, touching off a debate about pitchers' use of sticky substances to get better grips in cool weather. It was significantly colder Wednesday, with temperatures in the low-40s and a frigid wind, but Pineda's hand was clean throughout.
"I didn't do nothing," Pineda said when asked if he used something to improve his hold on the ball. "I was focusing on throwing the ball good."
And he did, despite pitching in some really harsh weather. In fact, he said it was the coldest he's ever pitched in.
Anthony Rizzo's triple with two outs in the sixth off Pineda was the Cubs' only extra-base hit of the day. Chicago totaled six hits against a pair of 25-year-old power pitchers who rarely walk batters. Tanaka (2-0) and Pineda each gave up one free pass.
"Both of them, they were good," said Emilio Bonifacio, who was 0 for 8 on the day. "Their breaking pitches, they were pretty good, so it was really tough."

Join Ren and Stimpy in their bizarre and gross world that features the oddly lovable duo in some outlandish situations coupled with hilarious jokes. Ren and Stimpy features the guest voice of music star Frank Zappa and consist of amusing episodes combined with the gross-out humor that became popular when the show first premiered on Nickelodeon in 1991.
The delirious animated series Ren and Stimpy makes its DVD debut in a three-disc set that features seasons 1 and 2, as well as a handful of extras to please its devoted fan base. The surreal adventures of short-tempered Chihuahua Ren and good-natured but simple cat Stimpson J. Cat caught on like a house afire with teen and college audiences during its 1991-96 run on Nickelodeon, despite regular battles between the network and creator John Kricfalusi (who also voiced Ren and several other characters) over allegedly objectionable content in certain episodes. The conflict eventually led to several episodes suffering edits, much to the chagrin of the show's creators and audience alike; the unedited versions of these episodes have become much sought-after and traded items among collectors. And while this set attempts to rectify that situation by presenting the show in its uncut form, die-hard fans should know that several episodes retain minor cuts; however, many others, most notably the pilot, "Big House Blues," and "Powdered Toastman" are presented in their original, uncut versions. Extras include commentaries on seven episodes by Kricfalusi and the show's creators, storyboard galleries, a featurette, and the "banned" episode "Man's Best Friend." --Paul Gaita

Air pollution threat from new Greenwich cruise liner terminal
It's been four years since Greenwich Council approved plans for a cruise liner terminal at Enderby Wharf in east Greenwich – it got the green light at the same planning meeting as the cable car. In fact, it was given unanimous approval.
Planning documents said: "It is the applicant's intention to deliver the cruise liner terminal and pier in time for 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games bringing a major piece of new infrastructure to London," adding that an independent study had found this was "realistic and achievable". This was loyally written up in council weekly Greenwich Time – it was "anticipated" it'd be open by the Olympics.
By April 2011, nothing had happened on site apart from the vandalism of historic Enderby House. In June 2011, Greenwich Time declared the terminal would be open "in 2012", and mega-liner The World would be docking there in 2013.
It never happened. Last year, Barratt Homes moved in on part of the site and hid Enderby House away.
Now the cruise liner terminal is back – hey, maybe in time to watch the 2020 Olympics on television. And surprise, surprise, the plans have grown.
Here's the East Greenwich Residents Association:
The developers propose building two towers near the riverside, Blocks Y and Z. Block Y will be 23 storeys high and will have 113 flats. Block Z will be 31 storeys high and will be home to 150 dwellings.
These two blocks will have no affordable housing in them – the idea is that they will generate the income required for the new terminal.
There is a further block planned for the rear of the site, Block A. It's proposed this will have 9 storeys at one end and 26 at the other, this is where the affordable housing will be.
The developers already had planning permission to build 93 apartments here. Now they are proposing to build a further 121 in this block.
The three blocks combined represent an increase of 384 apartments from the original plans.
Under this proposal the overall affordable housing provision for the site drops to 16% from the 20% promised by Barratt London when it unveiled its plans back in July 2013.
More homes, but a smaller proportion of "affordable" ones – a depressingly familiar story. Plans for a hotel have now gone.
Then there's the threat of pollution – not just from the traffic accessing the development, but from the ships themselves.
While emissions from motor vehicles are coming under ever-tighter legal restrictions, this isn't the case with ships. When a ship is docked, it needs power – and there are no plans to supply this from generators on the shore, as used by similar terminals in New York City and Amsterdam.
I don't recall this being an issue in 2011 – but it's been forced up the agenda by a determined resident of the Isle of Dogs, who'll also be affected by the terminal.
European Union directive 2012/33/EU says:
Air pollution caused by ships at berth is a major concern for many harbour cities when it comes to their efforts to meet the Union's air quality limit values.
Member States should encourage the use of shore-side electricity, as the electricity for present-day ships is usually provided by auxiliary engines.
But instead, the Enderby Wharf plans see the ships' diesel engines burning day and night, spewing out emissions that will affect residents on both sides of the Thames. The impact of this is barely acknowledged in a health assessment belatedly submitted by the developer last week.
The East Greenwich Residents' Association is demanding an environmental assessment. It says:
"A ship like The World may burn up to 2 tonnes of fuel an hour. This is the equivalent of 1200 HGVs with their engines idling. A ship will burn this 24 hours a day.
Cruise vessels do not need to comply with strict emission treatment controls as do trucks, and they may well use dirtier fuel. Given that the proposed terminal will operate in the summer months, when pollution is worst, and that it lies at the heart of a dense residential area dramatically raises concerns.
East Greenwich already suffers from high, often illegal, air pollution levels. Yet another huge source of deadly pollution is not what anyone wants on their doorstep."
EGRA says permission should not be given until the UK government responds submits its plans for complying with EU air pollution laws by the end of the year – or until the developer comes up with an acceptable plan to generate its electricity on shore.
There's only one day left to comment on the plan yourself – yes, residents have had only three weeks to go through 130+ documents and come up with a response. Visit Greenwich Council's planning database and enter 15/0973/F for more.
PS. If you're still in the mood for responding to planning applications that close tomorrow, 15/0457/F is a plan to build housing on the beer garden at the Vanburgh pub in east Greenwich – something that's definitely worth objecting to.
Greenwich Council meetings to be webcast: Will you watch?
It's been a long time coming, but Greenwich Council is all set to begin streaming video of its full council meetings online.
Councillors are being asked to formally back a year's trial of the scheme at their annual general meeting on Wednesday.
It means anyone will be able to watch meetings live – or watch back recordings at a later date.
The move will "increase transparency and participation" and "ensure that the full and unedited version of events is available on the web", a council report says.
It follows a change in the law last year which forced the council to allow members of the public to record or photograph meetings.
Past leader Chris Roberts had been hostile to opening up meetings – first insisting nobody would watch, then claiming it was for councillors to decide but without ever giving them the opportunity to do so. But successor Denise Hyland, who'll mark a year in the job next month, is more keen on the idea.
A recent refurbishment of Woolwich Town Hall means the main council chamber is now kitted out to enable video recording.
This website has been recording audio from council meetings for some years, but has recently begun recording video of key moments – see a debate on the Tall Ships Festival from February and on Greenwich Time from March.
However, the old attitude still persisted as recently as January, when council critic Stewart Christie was told by a security guard to stop filming with his laptop in an incident which caused some embarrassment at Woolwich Town Hall.
Lewisham trialled webcasting in 2010, although hasn't done so in recent years. Bexley started webcasting last year, using a low-cost system where cameras automatically focus in on whichever participant has their microphone switched on. Camden uses the same system, and its old-style chamber will give you an indication of what to expect from Greenwich.
Will anyone watch? Tweets from council meetings have generated some interest over the years, so there's a number of people who'll certainly dip in and take a look. But the clips I've put up – generally of questions from Conservative councillors to the ruling Labour cabinet – have mostly not got beyond two-figure audiences.
That said, it'll be a godsend to journalists, who won't need to schlep to the town hall to cover meetings. And I suspect councillors and officers will find it handiest of all, as they can watch footage back and see what was really said at meetings, as verbatim transcripts aren't routinely taken.
One regrettable aspect of this move is that it only covers full council meetings, which tend to generate more heat than light – although in itself that can be interesting.
The real meat of the council's business – particularly cabinet meetings and the planning board – take place in committee rooms at the front of the town hall and will still go uncovered by the new service.
Stuck at North Greenwich: Can the peninsula cope with its new masterplan?
Update, Friday 17 April: The consultation period has now been extended to Tuesday 28 April.
The general election's well under way. But an arguably bigger decision for this part of south east London is also open for your thoughts – although you've only got until Friday to make your views known.
Last month, Greenwich Council quietly started consulting on changes to the 11-year-old Greenwich Peninsula masterplan. Considering the size and location of the site, this is one of the most important pieces of planning in the 50-year history of the borough (with only Thamesmead and the Royal Arsenal as competition).
Yet, as ever, engagement with the public seems to be the last thing on anyone's mind. You know how the council claimed Greenwich Time was essential for engaging with local people? Well, not a word of editorial copy has appeared in its weekly paper about this in the three weeks the consultation has been open.
By contrast, the issue has been covered in both the News Shopper and the Mercury.
If there's a development that demands proper discussion and debate – especially at general election time – it's this one. It touches on the two most vital issues addressing our capital city – housing and infrastructure. Yet there simply isn't one – it's being swept under the carpet.
To his credit, Labour candidate Matt Pennycook mused on the issues after a consultation event in January (followed up by the Guardian's Dave Hill), but that's been about it. The local Peninsula ward councillors aren't even mentioning it on their new blog.
If you want to find out more, head to Greenwich Council's planning search and look for application 15/0716/O.
There are 191 documents to read. One person is not realistically going to manage to take on board this information all alone – even in the summary planning statement – so if you read the documents and something strikes you that's not mentioned here, please feel free to stick it in the comments.
The plans include 12,678 homes (up from 10,100 in 2004); towers of up to 40 storeys high; 220 serviced apartments; a 500-room hotel; education and healthcare facilities; a film studio and visitor attraction; a new bus station/ transport hub; and a 5k running track around the peninsula.
Update, 21 April. Philip Binns has emailed to say the planning statement points out "up to 15,700 units could be delivered in total on the Peninsula as a whole", explaining that this is made up of the 12,678 units referred to in the application notice plus a further 200 serviced apartments and 2,822 units which are currently being constructed or are to be implemented (approvals already having been granted). This would represent a 57% increase on what was permitted in 2004.
Like I said, there's a lot to take in. But here's two very broad themes that I reckon should be addressed. You may have different views.
Housing – who's going to live there?
One vital question is unanswered – how many of these homes will people be able to afford to live in? No figures are given for social or "affordable" housing.
We already know that neither you nor I will be able to afford to live in part of the Peninsula, as Greenwich Council allowed the pre-emptive social cleansing of Peninsula Quays back in 2013, reducing the amount of social/affordable housing to 0%.
This decision was based on a viability assessment – can the developer afford to build social housing? – which was kept secret by Greenwich Council. Earlier this year, local resident Shane Brownie won a Freedom of Information battle to get this information out there.
It's a complex issue that affects other areas of London and elsewhere – the most notorious case affects Southwark Council and the Heygate estate – and one that's barely being heard in the election campaign. The BBC's Sunday Politics London spoke to Shane when it dealt with the issue a few weeks back. (Thanks to Alex Ingram for the recording.)
It's entirely possible Knight Dragon has been spooked by Greenwich being forced to disclose this document, and is playing its cards even closer to its chest.
Indeed, this planning application going out to formal consultation during an election may even stifle debate – although the decision to run it now would have been the council's call, rather than Knight Dragon's.
But where else in London would a development of 12,000 new homes emerge without any discussion about who they are for?
The transport infrastructure – can North Greenwich cope?
The plans also include rebuilding and moving North Greenwich bus station. It's approaching capacity and struggles to cope with demand as it is. But the increase is small – space for 17 bus stands rather than 15, and 11 bus stops rather than seven.
There's pressure for North Greenwich to handle even more buses. Very few other tube stations in London are expected to handle demand from such an absurdly large area (Finsbury Park – which has to serve areas such as Crouch End and Muswell Hill – is probably the nearest equivalent).
Politicians keep demanding extra services from Kidbrooke and Eltham (as opposed to demanding improvements to rail services there), while existing routes from areas much closer to North Greenwich still struggle to cope. Route 108, in particular, is still overwhelmed each morning despite demands for a boost to services, which were met with the miserly addition of a single extra bus.
And this is before the next phase of homes open on the peninsula – adding more "one-stop" passengers on the buses and more demand for the tube station itself.
Yet TfL's only significant transport boost in the area has ben to create a cable car which is aimed at tourists and charges premium fares. If it was a bus route, it'd be London's 407th busiest.
It's a crude measure – especially as these figures cover all passengers, not just ones heading to North Greenwich – but a cursory glance at passenger numbers on the eight services would suggest they've pretty much hit their rush-hour capacity.
Add to this the continuing huge developments planned for Canary Wharf and the Royal Docks, together with predictions that Crossrail will hit capacity within months of opening, and you've got a big problem in depending so heavily on the Jubilee Line. The queues for Stratford-bound trains at Canary Wharf show just how big demand is here.
Move the peninsula closer to Canary Wharf
One answer would be to give Canary Wharf workers an alternative to the Jubilee Line. At this point, up will pop Transport for London, claiming the Silvertown Tunnel would provide that for buses.
But it's very likely that before long, any buses routed this way would get stuck in the same snarl-ups as the 108 through Blackwall, or new ones north of the Thames.
Building new roads won't bring the high-density regeneration Greenwich Peninsula needs – this isn't a suburban business park or a collection of warehouses. You get better results when you build workplaces within walking distance of shops, restaurants, other workplaces and railway stations.
The mostly-empty office block at 6 Mitre Passage, whose lights have stayed dim on winter evenings, shows how the Greenwich Peninsula has failed to attract businesses – one stop from Canary Wharf might as well be the other side of London.
So why not a pedestrian and cycle link to Canary Wharf? Proposals for a bridge from Rotherhithe to the Wharf have recently been dusted off – but one to the east would bring the Greenwich Peninsula within walking distance of shops, offices and the new Crossrail station.
It'd transform the area, tying it into Canary Wharf and freeing up space on both Tube and buses, and making it more attractive for businesses to set up shop.
In 2009, the cost of a bridge was put at £90m, not including maintenance and operating costs, and a TfL assessment as part of the cable car business case said it would be an "iconic" scheme, "likely to attract investment" in the area.
It added that "the walking routes on both sides of the Thames would need substantial improvement associated with developments for the environment to be of a high quality". Well, those improvements are coming now. And without a fixed connection to Canary Wharf, those improvements on the Greenwich Peninsula may never fully reach their potential.
It's election time – why isn't this an issue?
London is growing at a bewildering rate. Property developers are ruling over local people like feudal landlords, while local councils are treated like mug punters who fall for three card tricks.
Yet this simply isn't an issue in a general election where it's become fashionable to bash London. Planning desperately needs reform to give councils more clout – but this isn't being addressed in manifestos.
The lack of serious discussion about how to manage London's growth reflects poorly on our city's politicians and media. And we've one of the worst examples of it here in Greenwich, a borough run by councillors that have too often lacked curiosity in what's presented to them.
In the same way that Greenwich councillors fell for poor road-building schemes because the area lacks river crossings, they may well fall for an unsustainable plan for the peninsula simply because they're desperate to see all that brownfield land built on with the first thing that comes along.
That said, the recent ousting of Chris Roberts acolyte Ray Walker from his role as planning board chair can give us hope – his replacement, Mark James, has a background in transport, so actually has an understanding of the issues at stake. With Matt Pennycook taking a more sceptical view of big developments than his predecessor, some of the mood music around Greenwich and regeneration could be about to see a welcome change.
If you've a couple of hours free this week, give the plans a read and send your views (try the planning statement and design and access statements for summaries) to the council. At least then, they can't say they weren't warned.
Greenwich Council saves playing field from Greenwich Council
The election doesn't stop Greenwich Time – it just removes councillors from its pages for a few weeks. But the weekly paper remains to subtly associate the council with Good Things in the area, and to drone on about "royal borough" this and "royal borough" that.
This week's Good Thing is the rescuing of Kidbrooke's Hervey Road Playing Field, which has had the threat of redevelopment hanging over it for years now. There's a council press release on it too, linking it to other Good Things such as improvements to nearby Hornfair Park.
Except the only threat to Hervey Road Playing Field came from… Greenwich Council. Until 2011, the council had been planning to move Willow Dene special school from Plumstead to the site, until it became clear that building on open land wasn't going to be a popular option – particularly with the tenacious Save Hervey Road Sports Field campaign in full swing.
"It is clear that the process to secure planning consent for a development at Hervey Road might produce challenge, given its current use and planning designation for Community Open Space in the Unitary Development Plan," a paper presented to Greenwich Council's cabinet in July 2011 said with some understatement.
So the council backtracked, Willow Dene stayed in Plumstead and now has a brand new building; and finally Hervey Road field has been declared safe. It should never have taken this long.
Of course, those who only see Greenwich Time – like those who lived in East Germany's "valley of the clueless" because they never saw western TV – won't know the full story. Hervey Road got a happy ending – but it's just another little example of how the council abuses its dominant weekly paper to shape perceptions of itself.
Save the Woolwich Ferry: Thousands sign new petition
Over 3,800 people have signed a petition demanding Transport for London saves the Woolwich Ferry, which is threatened by its new river crossing proposals.
Greenwich Council supported closing the ferry in its submission on a planned new road bridge at Gallions Reach, and TfL has recently canvassed opinions on whether or not the 50-year-old vessels and pontoons should be replaced with new ships and structures.
Notably, in publicising the recent consultation into the Silvertown Tunnel, TfL claimed those who backed a revamped Woolwich Ferry were backing a new river crossing, exaggerating support for the transport authority's new road plans.
Closing the crossing would remove the problems of lorries queuing at the ferry approaches in Woolwich and North Woolwich and open up more riverside land for development.
But regardless of the flaws or merits in TfL's road crossing plans, closing the Woolwich Ferry would send more HGVs to the Blackwall Tunnel (and potentially a Silvertown Tunnel, which TfL admits would lead to a 20% increase in traffic on its approaches) – it would certainly be simpler for lorries to reach there than any new bridge at Gallions Reach – and would remove an alternative option for crossing the Thames.
Closing the ferry would also remove a part of the history of Woolwich – TfL and its predecessors have been legally obliged to provide a free ferry here since 1889, on the basis that Woolwich taxpayers (on both sides of the river) had paid for free crossings for west London.
Local politicians have generally kept their support for the ferry's closure quiet – it would have shut two years ago if Ken Livingstone's Thames Gateway Bridge had been built.
Any move to shut (or charge for) the ferry would need to be endorsed by parliament, so I wonder if any of Greenwich & Woolwich's general election candidates will back the Save the Woolwich Ferry campaign?
50 years ago: Farewell Woolwich Council, ta-ta Deptford borough
Today marks the 50th anniversary of Greater London – and half-a-century since shotgun marriages between metropolitan boroughs, urban districts and county boroughs formed today's 32 London boroughs.
Even all those years on, you can still hear the occasional grumble about Greenwich being forced to merge with (and move to) Woolwich, or Deptford having to pitch in with Lewisham.
Even naming the boroughs proved problematic – the organisation sitting at Woolwich Town Hall could have been called the London Borough of Charlton as a compromise between the two squabbling sides, while Lewisham was nearly called "Ravensbourne".
A few years back, Rob Powell from Greenwich.co.uk uploaded a scan of the Mercury supplement introducing the "new" Greenwich Council. I thought I'd head back down to the Greenwich Heritage Centre in Woolwich's Royal Arsenal to see what else was going on at the time.
The headline above shows how the Mercury's rival, the Woolwich-based Kentish Independent, headlined its coverage of the final meeting of Woolwich Council, which stretched out to Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Abbey Wood, Eltham and Lee. The good burghers of Woolwich were sat in the same town hall that the current Greenwich Council sits in today. Meanwhile, the Mercury noted a "gift night spectacular".
Back in the KI, the Gallery column noted all was gloom at the old Greenwich Town Hall on Royal Hill…
…although none of it was showing when the old Greenwich Council bowed out, the Mercury noted.
A mile or two away on New Cross Road, the old Deptford Council – which also took in New Cross and Brockley – was also turning out the lights, sent down to Catford to merge with Lewisham.
"Mercury Man" was sorry to see the old borough go, mourning "an ability to present a public image which would make a publicity man suicidal".
Looking back at these misty-eyed reminiscences, it's striking how closely the local press watched the local councils then. But there's still a level of deference. The Kentish Independent still got excited over the new mayor of the London Borough of Greenwich. 50 years on, is anyone really that bothered now?
In the Mercury, the new Greenwich borough opened with a Labour rebellion over a "lodger tax" for council tenants. This was something the old Woolwich Council had done for years, yet had been resisted by Greenwich. In the end, a compromise saw the area covered by the old Greenwich borough let off the extra charges until 1966.
Then another Woolwich habit got up Greenwich noses, as the new council managed to annoy traders on Royal Hill by cancelling their contracts in favour of shopping at the Co-op instead.
One of the last decisions of the old Woolwich Council was a big headache for the new authority. In 1961, it'd decided to invest in an experimental automatic car park. The Autostacker was a spectacular failure. The last Woolwich Council meeting approved plans to knock it down.
The new Greenwich Council had to deal with the fallout (before finally sending the bulldozers in).
What else was going on at the time? One Mercury front page from early 1965 bemoaned a labour shortage across south-east London – there were simply too many jobs and not enough people. Even its recruitment ads boasted of jobs for everybody. But in the Kentish Independent, the year opened with bad news for Plumstead's Beasley Brewery – closing after a century of slaking SE18 thirsts.
Signs of things to come on Plumstead Marshes were also apparent in the KI, as the new Greenwich Council sought to assert itself over plans for a new town on surplus Royal Arsenal land, which stretched onto Belvedere Marshes in the new borough of Bexley (and the old Kent district of Erith). The split was one of the issues that hobbled the new town – and it still does, half a century on.
This was three years before the first residents moved into what became known as Thamesmead.
The recent death of Winston Churchill had sent the country into mourning – but would a motorway bridge at Woolwich have been a fitting tribute?
Nevertheless, one part of the Ringways scheme – the Blackwall Tunnel southern approach – was causing aggravation in Blackheath and Kidbrooke.
On Blackheath's Old Dover Road, traders awaiting new accommodation couldn't wait to be rid of the old Greenwich Council as their colleagues in Woolwich had a more "go-ahead approach".
London was changing in the 1960s. In the Mercury – whose coverage at the time stretched from Bermondsey and Camberwell to Abbey Wood – headlines discussed racism, with one reporting a magazine article which compared Lewisham to Alabama.
At the same time, this was what was in the Kentish Independent, reporting from what was then still Kent…
Within two decades, councillors from the new borough of Greenwich would have set up their own paper to challenge racism – but that's a different story.
The old metropolitan boroughs had lasted 65 years – the new London boroughs have now notched up 50. Will the current boroughs outlast their predecessors, or are we due for another round of mergers and squabbles?
The days of Ken Livingstone wanting to take an axe to the current structure are gone. But we're in an age of devolution – Greenwich joined boroughs north of the river to discuss this a few weeks back – and austerity, where sharing services is looked upon kindly.
So today's councils may well be toasting today's anniversary with some trepidation. The London Superborough of Greenwich & Lewisham, anyone?
Greenwich Time: Council leader mocks 'shut it down' petition
Greenwich Council leader Denise Hyland has mocked the the number of signatures on a petition calling for the closure of its weekly newspaper Greenwich Time, saying: "I didn't know the Tories and Liberal Democrats had so many members."
Hyland also predicted other boroughs would join Greenwich's judicial review into communities secretary Eric Pickles' order demanding the council closes the controversial weekly.
The petition, started last Thursday by Stewart Christie – a Liberal Democrat candidate in last year's council election – had gained 106 signatures ahead of last night's full council meeting, the last before 7 May's general election.
Responding to a question from Conservative group leader Spencer Drury, Hyland launched into a defence of the paper that lasted nearly seven minutes, reiterating the council's claim that GT actually saves it money.
"Our advice from our QC is that the Secretary of State has acted illegally, and that is why we are applying to the court to judicially review the decision," she said.
"And as for the people who set up the website 'cease Greenwich Time publication now', which I believe has 106 [signatures] on it – given the Tories and Lib Dems seem to have formed a coalition around Greenwich Time, I didn't know they had so many members," Hyland added to laughter from her own councillors.
Hyland also refused to give details of costs for the judicial review when pressed by Conservative deputy leader Matt Hartley.
"Essentially, I don't think we'll lose. I think we have a strong case, and in addition I fully expect other boroughs to join in on that JR [judicial review]. That would be my expectation," she said.
Pressed again for a "worst case scenario" figure, she added: "We'll wait and see what the lawyers say it will cost us, but obviously, it will not cost us a penny when we win."
Hyland's confidence may be explained by Greenwich sharing its Greenwich Time printing contract with eight other boroughs – Brent, Havering, Hackney, Hounslow, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest, who all use Trinity Mirror to print a variety of council publications.
Of these, Hackney, Newham and Waltham Forest have been given until the end of April to close their fortnightly publications – Hackney Today, Newham Mag and Waltham Forest News.
The general election – with its "purdah" rules on public bodies making controversial decisions – complicates matters, but Pickles' direction states that Greenwich must not produce more than four council publications in the year from 31 March. This means the weekly GT would not breach the order until late April – giving other councils plenty of time to join in any legal action.
The Tower Hamlets question
Earlier, Hyland had questioned why Tower Hamlets Council – which is being partly-run by commissioners sent in by Pickles following allegations of malpractice – was still being allowed to publish England's only other weekly council publication, East End Life.
"I find it extraordinary that Eric Pickles has sent commissioners into Tower Hamlets, yet Tower Hamlets is still producing East End Life on a weekly basis.
"The commissioner himself has even put an article in there," she said to laughter.
"They haven't had a notice, they haven't had a direction," she added.
In fact, Pickles did begin the process of taking action against East End Life in September, although has pulled back since sending commissioners into Tower Hamlets in December.
As for the article by a commissioner, East End Life merely reported a decision by Sir Ken Knight in its 16 March issue – he didn't write a piece for it.
The situation with Tower Hamlets and East End Life may become clearer in the coming weeks, as Sir Ken and colleague Max Casey were given three months to draw up a plan to rectify the problems with Tower Hamlets – including a "plan for publicity".
Asked by Spencer Drury (hear audio above) if Greenwich would close GT if Tower Hamlets closed East End Life, Hyland said: "Look, we all have choices about things and it's this Labour administration's choice to inform the public of different events and publish our statutory adverts that the government still say need to be published in the press. Essentially, its our choice to do that and we think it's the most cost-effective way.
"There may be a few people – and we know who they are – who don't agree with that. And you're entitled to your opinion."
"But you're not in charge of the council," she added, to laughter from her Labour colleagues.
No research into households without internet
After she used the "digital divide" as a justification for publishing GT, Hyland was asked what research the council had done into households without internet access. She only said this was work for "our digital centre" to take on.
She added: "What we do know is that vast numbers of people head to our public libraries to use the IT that's there, and how valued that is. And I know from the people who go into my surgery – and I'm sure that's relicated right around this chamber – that many people may have an email address but they don't have broadband, and therefore they have to come into these facilities.
"With the amount of money this council has to save we will promote more and more online, but at the same time, we will do everything we can do lower that digital divide and make sure people have access to the web."
Low newspaper distribution
Hyland also pointed out the low circulation of the News Shopper and Mercury titles in the borough.
"In Charlton, only 63 homes get the Mercury, so 99% of Charlton don't get the Mercury," she said.
"Greenwich – less than 1% get the Mercury, 99% don't get it. Eltham – 88% don't get it. Blackheath – three-quarters don't get it. Abbey Wood – more than two-thirds don't get it. And the News Shopper's similar."
Hyland also claimed there were small businesses in Greenwich borough that "just will not pay for adverts in the independent press – whereas they can buy space in Greenwich Time that is a lot cheaper".
"And also we don't use massage parlours. We don't advertise those, and thank goodness, and we would find it hard to give our business to organisations that include adverts in that way."
Neither the Mercury nor the News Shopper were present in Woolwich Town Hall last night to report on proceedings.

I have been working part time at the Cancer Support Community for almost 19 years. It is place where people living with cancer and their families find support, education and exercise programs specifically designed for people living with life threatening illness. I have referred my own family members to groups here and they have been very pleased with the supportive environment and caring attitude of staff and volunteers. It is definitely a place one can turn to so as not to face the caner experience alone.
