South London snubbed by London Borough of Culture Awards
South London has been snubbed by the London Borough of Culture Awards.
Ladbrokes put Southwark as odds on favourites last week but they were pipped to the post by Waltham Forest who will receive the £1.35m pot as London’s 2019 Borough of Culture.
Sadiq Khan made the announcement accompanied by a dramatic drum roll and then The Clash’s London’s Calling serenaded the winners as they took to the stage.
Brent won the 2020 award beating Southwark and third favourites Greenwich.
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
If you can afford to do so, we would be so grateful if you can make a donation which will allow us to continue to bring stories to you, both in print and online.
