Welcome to heart streatham’s
41st edition. the trees are
budding and the early flowers
are blooming as we write
this in bright, warm spring
sunshine.
this month's cover is the iconic
streatham Pumping station on
Conyers rd which can be seen
from the railway lines as well.
We have superimposed alper
Yagmur, owner of el Chico's
mexican restaurant (see review
- p12), who became hero to
many by organising deliveries
of bottled water to elderly folk
and others who couldn't make
it to the delivery points when
the water went out. When his
restaurant’s water was cut he
and his staff decided to work
instead for the benefit of the
community and we salute that!
Do you have a local hero (with,
or without, cape) you think
should be celebrated? Get in

March has seen the first
significant snowfall in Streatham
for years. Children were
delighted making various kinds
of snow sculptures, and some
even had a day or two off school.
Despite the snow, a reception
to celebrate streatham held
by Chuka umunna mp at
Portcullis house was well-attended.
Lambeth Council and tfL have at last agreed to
measures to prevent heavy goods vehicles
from using residential roads west of streatham
high road. satnav companies will be informed
that Drewstead Road, Woodfield Avenue,
Mount Ephraim Road, Woodfield Grove, Mount
ephraim Lane, Norfolk house road, Kingscourt
road, and De montford road are “Unsuitable
for hGVs”, and 5 new “Unsuitable for hGVs”
signs will be installed at the entrance to roads.
residents on other roads are keen to get some
attention too.
residents of Pathﬁeld Road, who have
suffered increased rat-running and parking
congestion since the partial closure of
Estreham Road to northbound traffic as part
of the Quietways cycle route, finally persuaded
Lambeth Council to consider their problems and
a public meeting was held last month to ask for
views on measures to mitigate problems
Tfl are considering options for the redesign
of the a23 from streatham hill station up
to telford ave. they showed some ideas at a
community meeting with streatham action
Transport Group. TfL’s analysis identified the
whole a23 corridor through Lambeth as having
great potential for more cycle journeys - if
made safe. Ideas include wider bus lanes and
footways or segregated cycle lanes. these
would involve removal of the central reservation
and straight-across pedestrian crossings. the
long-overdue work should take place in late
2019/20. We were pleased to hear tfL make
positive noises about reducing speed limits to
20mph-more than 4,000 were caught breaking
the current 30mph speed limit in one 24-hour
period at streatham hill.
March saw significant damage to Streatham
Common from Circus Zyair vehicles.
apparently, road works on streatham Common
south meant that ground protection trackway
was not delivered. the event organiser is
responsible for the costs of all reinstatement,
and to allow for works and recovery, the usual
benson’s Funfair visit has been postponed to
the end of may, and there are no events until
Kite Day on the 13th may. Contact the events

Soapbox
april 2018
On Saturday 3 March, major water mains
and sewers around Streatham buckled in
the aftermath of the Beast from the East. By
Sunday, over 12000 homes were without water,
and a crisis unfolded. Thames Water had to
set up two bottled water distribution points at
Homebase in Streatham Vale, and Sainsbury’s
in Balham, to which residents had to make
their own way - for many, this meant a four-mile
round-trip on public transport.
The incomparable Streatham community sprung
into action to help deliver water to vulnerable
residents who couldn’t manage the trek. By
Monday the council bought its own supply of
water for the vulnerable, and collection points
were opened by council and volunteers to ease
the burden. Cllr Malcolm Clarke’s delivery
team were based at Gracefield Gardens, while
Cllr Scott Ainslie set up his distribution HQ
in the White Lion and Cllr. Robert Hill at the
Woodlawns Centre.
The hero of the day was local restauranteur
Alper Yagmur, owner of El Chico’s restaurant
on the High Rd. When the restaurant closed
because it had no water supply, and there was
no accurate information about when it would
be restored from Thames Water, he visited
their engineers on sites to gather info “from the
horses’ mouths”. Alper then drafted his delivery
vans to take water to residents in need and
social media was ablaze. The story was picked
up by national media from Heart Streatham’s
twitter feed, and Alper was interviewed on
several major TV and radio channels.
Many residents and businesses were affected
for up to five days. “Five days without being able
to wash dirty plates, five days of being unable to
flush toilets, and five days without being able to
bathe their children”, as Cllr. Mo Seedat put it at
the time.
In the aftermath, Thames Water published
this table of compensation information on
its website, together with a set of FAQs which
included stating that compensation for residents
in rented accommodation (council, private
housing associations etc.) are directed to claim
it from landlords themselves.
Time Affected Compensation Payment
4-12 hours £30
12-24 hours £50
24-48 hours £100
48+ hours £150
Some of the FAQ answers from Thames Water’s
website are eyebrow-raising!
“You resupplied water to my area, but an
airlock in the system meant we didn’t get
water back on for a while after this – do I get
compensation for this whole period?
“As airlocks aren’t generally caused because the
water has been turned off, but due to air being
trapped in the internal plumbing system within
a home, we will not be giving compensation in
this situation…fittings and internal plumbing
should be set up in such a way that when water
is restored, the air is displaced and cleared from
the system.”
My water was off for longer than 48 hours.
…. “the pressure may not have built back up
to normal levels... the problem may have been
within the customer’s own pipework. It will be
difficult for us to confirm exactly what may have
been the problem at a specific property, but
we have carefully calculated the time people
were without water and are confident that the
payments we are making are fair.”
I had to close my business for several days
because I had no water. Will you compensate
me for my loss of business/profit?
…Compensation for loss of profit is normally
only payable when it is as a consequence of
material/physical damage caused to your
property. This was not the case on this occasion,
so your loss of profit… is not recoverable in law.”

Thames Water seems to be claiming that
airlocks in residents’ domestic systems were
a cause of delay in water being back on after
TW pipes were repaired to justify not giving
the full £150 to many of those who suffered
without water for more than 48 hours and were
expecting the maximum compensation as their
due.
We asked Thames Water “how are you able
accurately to estimate where airlocks were
located in the pipes to assess the duration of
outage and the sum you believe customers
should be paid?” We’re not engineers but is
seems odd that the ingress of air is a problem
that is suffered mostly by pipes that are the
responsibility of home owners and not Thames
Water. As we go to press, we have not received
an answer from Thames Water.
Businesses should contact Castle Water, which
is responsible for administering payments for
Thames Water’s (the wholesaler) non-residential
customers. Castle Water wants to identify non-
residential customers that were affected and
ensure it has accurate details of their supply
issues. Contact details are in the Castle Water
advertisement on page 18, and at
www.castlewater.co.uk. John Reynolds, CEO
of Castle Water advised, “a non-residential
customer may be entitled to a compensation
payment of £50 a day in the event of loss of
supply…” He also offered to come to Streatham
to meet business groups to help clarify and
speed the process.
Cllr Jennifer Brathwaite, Lambeth Cabinet
Member for Environment and Transport
(part of the cross-London scrutiny of Thames
Water since 2015) at the time of the incident
commented,
“Thames Water failed in its responsibilities at
every turn. It needs to be held to account and
this must never happen again.”

ariba el Chico’s!
rehema Figueiredo
he was the hero of streatham’s #watergate last
month, but on my visit to el Chico’s owner alper
Yagmur let his food do the talking.
First up were some chicken tacos with juicy
jalapenos and chipotle sauce, as well as classic
nachos with a fresh salad – both served with
exquisitely mushy guacamole and sharp soured
cream. the dishes had a good balance of
guacamole and sauce, and the taco shells were
perfection; not so brittle they disintegrated as
you bit into them, nor so soggy that the filling fell
out. these dishes are usually served as mains,
but starters come in anywhere between £4.50
and £7.50, giving diners scope to tailor order to
fit appetite. The tacos and nachos portions were
a good size, the latter slightly bigger but not as
filling as the tacos.
Next came some cute quesadillas, which
would have been small for a main, but among
the rounds of dishes we were being brought,
were ample as a second course. however, the
sizzling fajitas were the showstopper! sticky
and sweet, accompanied by a stack of hot
tortillas and a generous selection of dips. When
a beef burrito was served, we were pretty
much defeated. Packed with meat and slathered
in cheese, it would be the right dish to choose
had you gone a bit overboard on the margaritas
but otherwise, a word of warning, only order it if
you are a seriously hungry hombre.
my dining amigo and I visited el Chico’s on a
Friday night when the place had a warm buzz
about it, with a youngish crowd, mostly under-
30s, and a strong Latin soundtrack. el Chico’s
is the perfect end of week hang out, and with
prices to rival ‘spoon’s it’s streatham’s hottest
spot for post-work drinks, with cocktails a
speciality. We tried a beautifully presented
strawberry daiquiri and a wickedly zingy
Cipriano. If you’re just after a beer, a Corona will
set you back £3.95 or you could share a bottle
of wine from £15.95. What’s more, el Chico’s
runs specials in the week – from ladies night
on tuesdays to date night thursdays – so
you won’t have to worry about your wallet when
you’re making your way through the mojitos.
We were served by a very bubbly waitress
and overall the whole thing felt like a fiesta,
transporting us from the snowy streets of
streatham to a beach bar in tulum. You’ve really
got no choice but to join in the fun!

Daisy-cutting on Streatham Common
The Cricket Season begins on Friday 13th April.
The earliest mention of the sport was in the
late 16th century, and by the 18th century it
was the national sport. Streatham Common
has a long cricketing tradition, with a
match between Streatham and Clapham on
Monday 26th July 1731 recorded in The Daily
Advertiser.
From 1736-1758, George Williams, the licensee
of The White Lion pub captained the side
and provided refreshments at matches. On 5th
May 1806 the Streatham Cricket Club was
formed at the pub. Membership was originally
restricted to 40, with an annual subscription
of five guineas ensuring an exclusivity limited
to those who could afford the membership fee.
For almost 80 years, home fixtures were on
Streatham Common.
In January 1807 the rules of the Streatham
Cricket Club decreed that the season would
start on the second Saturday of May and
continue every Saturday on Streatham Common
until the last Saturday in August. Furthermore,
any gentlemen playing in coloured jackets,
breeches or pantaloons would be fined half a
crown.
The great sportsman C. B. Fry was a member
of the club in the early days. He was so admired
internationally that it was rumoured he was
invited to become the King of Albania; he
apparently politely declined.
In 1856, an area at the bottom of the Common
was roped off for the game, with various teams

heart streatham | 15
using the facility, Streatham Cricket Club,
Streatham united Cricket Club founded in
1858 and Streatham albion Cricket Club
founded in 1880. towards the end of the
nineteenth century there were some 70 cricket
teams in streatham made up from schools,
churches, pubs, businesses and even family
teams.
Streatham Cricket Club subsequently
moved to a ground now covered by Graceﬁeld
gardens, named after the great cricketer W. g.
grace, who played there on a several occasions.
It was considered one of the most attractive
grounds in england. after the First Word War,
the Club moved to thornton heath on a ground
now used by Streatham and Croydon rugby
Club.
Over the past few decades, streatham Cricket
Club has merged with local sides Streatham
Wanderers Cricket Club in 1973, the old
hollingtonians Cricket Club in 1977 and lastly
with the marlborough Cricket Club in 2003,
since when the club has been known as The
Streatham and marlborough Cricket Club
with its home ground at Cox’s Walk, Dulwich
Common.
Former prime minister, John major, also
played a couple of games for the streatham
Colts in 1960.

RedHawks Round-Up
Streatham's 2017/18 season
ended at the Play Off quarter
final stage as they lost 6-2
on aggregate to the Swindon
Wildcats over two legs.
The RedHawks faced an uphill battle after losing
the first leg on home ice 2-0 thanks to a brace
from Cats Player Coach Aaron Nell but came
tantalizingly close to an upset in Wiltshire. A
brace from Ryan Webb had given Streatham a
2-1 lead at the Link Centre in front of a 1000
plus crowd, but three unanswered goals in the
final 21 minutes put the Wildcats through to the
semi-final where they will face Peterborough
Phantoms.
"The season might be over earlier than I had
hoped, but I think we can hold our heads up
after our display last weekend" said Captain
Adam Carr. "A couple of bounces the other way
at the right times and we could have got through
to the semi-finals. Swindon are a top team who
are in the best form in the league, so gutting as
it is to go out, we gave it our best and came up
short."
Streatham finished in 6th place in the National
Ice Hockey League Britton Conference, in their
first appearance in the second tier of UK hockey
since the early 1990's. Head Coach Jeremy
Cornish overhauled the squad last summer in
anticipation of the higher standard but had a
budget considerably less than the teams who
dropped down into the league.
"It's been a tough year as everyone expected,
but we have held our own and more" said Carr,
who finished as top goal scorer with 23 in all
competitions." Even when we had a losing
streak, we stuck together and kept working
and fighting…. We beat every team in the
league apart from Peterborough, which is a big
positive…Our fans also deserve the highest
praise as they have backed us and followed us
round all year loud and proud."
The RedHawks will now look forward to
the 208/19 season in September. Let’s go,
Streatham!
Meanwhile the junior teams continue to show
progress with u18 forward Alec Goldstone
recently called up for England trials at u19 level
and seven players called up for England duty
at a tournament in Bratislava in April. Samuel
Lyne, Dylan Holicka and Louie White will
pull on the famous white and red England jersey
at under-13 level. Harry Corkum and Amy
Robery both got a call up for the under-14s with
Edward Gibson named as a reserve. Jessica
Wooding got the nod for the under-14 girls
team.

Brixton Bulls get Bigger
Brixton Bulls rugby League Club is expanding.
Both minis (reception to Year 6) and men’s
teams and launching both Junior (Years 7 to
11) and Women's sections. the club is based
at Woodmansterne Playing Field, sW16 and is
the only rugby club in Lambeth and is one of the
fastest growing in London.
the club started with a minis section in 2004,
and its founding side rose through the years to
become one of the best of their age in the south
of england. two of the original minis, Kelland
thomas-smith and sam Crore, both from
streatham, recently played for england Under
18 amateur side, and sam has since signed
professionally for Castleford Under 19s.
In 2015, the club re-started the minis at Under
7s under head Coach Philippa robson, and
there are now more than 50 boys and girls
regularly attending sessions on saturday
mornings. most of the children attend local
primary schools including Hitherfield, St Julians,
telferscot and Woodmansterne. they are
coached by a team of enthusiastic parents lead
by Philippa, as well as a few of the men's side,
and supported by the London rugby League
Foundation, who also run development sessions
in local schools.
sessions take place all year during term time,
and during the summer term there are regular
festivals against other clubs across London and
the south east - from Croydon and richmond
to as far as medway and Brighton. they have
also played in festivals before the Challenge Cup
Final at Wembley and an england test match
at the Olympic stadium, where they had the
privilege to meet the england team before they
played australia.
In 2016 a men’s’ side was launched by Jack
Baker, a former Captain of the Oxford University
rugby League side who moved to streatham.
the team is a great mixture of the original minis,
all from the local area, former Oxford University
players, and various new additions. they won the
2017 London Championship in only their second
full year. matches are played from april to July
on saturday afternoons, with home matches at
Woodmansterne.
On 21 april, Brixton Bulls is holding an Open Day
for boys and girls for both minis at 10.30am and
Juniors at 12 noon at Woodmansterne Playing
Fields. there has been strong interest from local
secondary schools. the men are expanding to a
second side this year, so also actively recruiting
new players - training is on Wednesday evenings
at Woodmansterne.
Following the launch of the Women's super
League last year, the club is also launching a
Women's team to play in the Women’s merit
League. training will be on thursday evenings at
Woodmansterne, starting in early april.

Summer is Coming…
10 Key Tips for IPL or Laser hair removal
Summer is just around the corner and many of
us will soon be wearing less clothing. Rather
than constantly shaving or epilating hair we
don't want to show when the weather's warm,
we can remove it permanently and relatively
pain-free using lasers and IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light) treatments. The investment is worthwhile
when you consider the average British woman
spends £8000 over her lifetime on hair removal
products and treatments
Both techniques are effective at permanently
reducing unwanted hair growth. Here are the
most important things to consider.
• Always consider the cost of results not the
cost of treatments. People are often taken
in by cheap offers for treatments. Always ask
whether your clinic will guarantee your results
like Brigstock Skin and Laser does.
• Choose a CQC registered clinic. The Care
Quality Commission (CQC) is the ombudsman
that regulates all healthcare services. A CQC
clinic’s systems, training, governance and
standards are regularly scrutinized by an
independent inspector.
• Check the training and experience of your
technician. Operating Laser and IPL machines
requires skill and experience to assure good
results.
• “Laser or IPL?” Both laser and IPL use light to
destroy hair follicles by heating up the melanin
in them. It really doesn’t matter whether
this is generated through lasers or intense
pulse light. Some modern machines like the
Soprano laser are designed specifically to be
as comfortable as possible, but treatments
may take longer than many IPL treatments.
• Do not pluck, wax or thread for at least six
weeks before treatment because the laser or
IPL needs to react with hair follicles in their
growth stage. If they are removed before
treatment, the light will not have anything to
treat, and the hair will grow back.
• Always have a patch test before treatment and
and ensure your full medical history is taken
to determine the safe and effective settings
for your skin and hair type. Some medical
conditions and medications can cause issues
- another reason to only use reputable medical
clinics rather than beauty salons offering
similar treatments.
• "No hair will return after my course of
treatment has finished?" Both laser and IPL
treatments only target hairs that are in their
growth stage, so you will require a series of
treatments over several months to achieve the
best results.
• Avoid sunbathing immediately before
undergoing any treatment, as it limits the
treatment’s effectiveness.
• Follow the treatment plan your technician
prescribes. No two people have the same skin
and hair, so treatment must be customised for
you. The best results are achieved by working
with a highly skilled, experienced technician
over several treatments delivered at precise
intervals to coincide with your natural hair
growth cycle.

Bishop Thomas Grant
Legacy 100 Project
To commemorate the centenary of the Great
War, every month we are publishing extracts
from BTG School’s work with Professor Richard
Grayson of Goldsmith’s College to research the
stories of some of the Fallen who were from
Streatham.
Rifleman John Russell and Rifleman Robert
Alfred Edmund Brunt 1st/5th London
Regiment (London Rifle Brigade)
Killed in Action 1st July 1916
Russell lived at 7 Rydal Road, while Brunt was
from 30 Norfolk House Road. Both men died on
1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the
Somme.
The battalion ‘took up their position in the
assembly and front-line trenches’, ready for
their advance. From the battalion War Diary, it
seems the mission started successfully, with
the first waves of men moving by 7:27am. The
diary details ‘The lines advanced in excellent
order and the movement went like clockwork, so
much so that by 7:50am, all our objectives were
reached’. However, the mission deteriorated
quickly. By 8:07am, they began to face
opposition in the form of ‘machine gun fire’ and
‘heavy bombing’, which led to ‘bad casualties’.
By 8:45am they were ‘forced to withdraw’ and
their mission wholly ‘failed on account of the
lack of success by the division on our left and
also because we were unable to get the Reserve
Company across with the supply of bombs that
was so urgently needed’. From this account, it is
most likely that both men died between 8:07am
and 8:45am when the battalion faced the
heaviest fire from the enemy.
Both men are remembered on the Thiepval
Memorial.

streatham Police Update
bY: inSpeCTor TereSa hubbard
We are very grateful for the patience shown
by the community during the recent traffic
disruption and especially when many homes
and businesses had to go almost a week
without running water due to emergency repairs.
We know of several people who went out of
their way to assist the less fortunate. and we
appreciate the fine local community here that
drew together and helped one other.
There have been several high profile incidents
recently, including reported gunfire, around
Lambeth, but thankfully the streatham area
has been spared. Our teams have been busy
patrolling with a focus on anti-social behaviour
to support community cohesion, and this also
helps prevent escalations into violence as well.
Do get in touch when you have information so
that we can nip situations in the bud.
Two important things to consider – firstly we are
holding Cuppa with a Copper sessions in local
venues (Books with a Bobbie for our streatham
Library sessions) when you can talk to local
police and get advice for keeping your person
and property secure.
secondly, you might want to consider going
a step further and getting involved yourself.
The Met is recruiting, and our officers would
be pleased to provide further information on
careers, what the job is really like and how to
best go about taking things further. speak to
us at one of our local sessions. Do drop by for
a chat, even if only to say “hi” and introduce
yourself.
We have noted a rise in motor vehicle crime in
recent periods. We have sent heart streatham
a list of simple, practical steps to take to secure
your vehicle and make it harder to steal or steal
from. Please see their website for details. Please
have a look, follow the advice and be safe out
there
