Recent
Recognition of a Committee Member’s Work for the Society and an insight
into the Work of the Society’s Committee Members new
Those
Members of the Society who receive the Newsletter will be aware of what
the Committee do throughout the year carrying out their duties, but those
non-Members who are interested in our work may wonder what we actually do!
An article sometime ago in the Fulham Chronicle in an interview with our
new Chairman at the time said that when most of us are going home to a
quiet evening or weekend, Members of the Committee get going! We sift
through hundreds of planning applications each year; we visit many
locations to check the application; we send our views in to the Council;
we meet developers to discuss their applications; we keep a very close eye
on applications for listed
buildings and buildings on the Local Register, where, for
example, ancient sites might be affected, or old planning laws or
covenants might have been overlooked; we take a great interest in the historic buildings
in the borough, especially Fulham Palace, where we are represented on the
Management Committee; we carry out pro-active work such as our
recent survey
of the Thames River Walk, which has been sent to the Council for inclusion
in their new strategy for the Walk; we were the original creators of
‘Celebrating Fulham’, the cultural week put together each July in
association with the Council; we think about traffic, transport, street
furniture open spaces and parks
and more.
We
are delighted that one of our leading Committee members – Maya Donelan,
has been recognised with the award of the MBE in the recent New Year’s
Honours. Maya has been on the Committee for over twenty years, our
Secretary for ten years and for many of those years was our lead on
planning applications. Fulham Society is not her only civic activity. She
is also chairman of Bishop Creighton House, a long established charity
working with other community groups and citizens; a Committee member of
the Historic Building Group, which concentrates on the preservation of
historic buildings in the Borough
and of
the Victorian Society.
You can see that she richly reserves her MBE and we join in sending her
our congratulations.”
