How can you say continue to improve the pothole situation? Brixton road and Brixton Hill are in a terrible state, as soon as one gets filled in, another appears. They are a menace to the unwary cyclist
The school in Elmcourt Rd is great - and huge congratulations to the parents who campaigned so hard to get it.
But that's just one school that, due to the shortage of places right across the borough, may well become so popular and oversubscribed...
There is no quick fix solution to crime in Lambeth. The safer neighbourhoods team are overstretched and under resourced. Policing in general is under resourced and new policing iniatives including the no deal iniative are short lived gimmicky policing, thats generally unsustainable.
People are now advocating...
The establishment of community trusts would require very tight governance rules so to ensure that wider community wishes were
carried out and that a wide community representation would be part of the management structure ensuring . Lessons must be learnt from...
This all sounds very proactive but is it going to be tested properly? Watch schemes do not work in every area and to set them up without seeing if they are compatible with the intended area could end up being a waste of time and...
Why are the bin chambers on the Notre Dame estate sealed and the paladin bins left underneath residents windows so that they have to put up with the stench of rubbish if they wish to open there windows
Both Brixton Hill and Brixton Road are red routes and therefore the road surfaces (and the pavements!) are the responsibility of the Mayor's Transport for London Street Management.
But does any party's manifesto actually say what they will do to regain some control over these roads...
Dear All,
Should you have any issues you would like me to look into in the Larkhall area or Vauxhall as a whole, please do not hestiate to contact me as I would be interested in hearing your opinions on local issues and will try my...
Why can you not recycle tetra packs in Lambeth?
Why do numbers of ASBOs count for anything? It might show that anti-social behaviour is more prevalent in Camden than Lambeth. Often ASBOs don't tackle the real route of the problem, and in some cases push the problem elsewhere.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that banning prisoners from voting breaches their human rights.
This decision is almost certain to lead to an alteration in British law.
This is not an issue for local councillors.
Lambeth are responding to the concerns of parents. They are building a new school in Elmcourt Rd and one in Shakespeare Rd.
What total rubbish!! There is no threat!!!!!!
I hope the Country show wasn't under threat. It is a great show with a mix of all Lambeth's diverse cultures.
Please could ElectionMemory.com change my email address as published on the website to the Yahoo address given above. Thank you - Rachel Heywood - Coldharbour - Labour
In response to Ray Ross, I can see your point, but then why not vote Green party? Also, I think our three current councillors work very hard for Thurlow Park ward and they are always questioning council officers on their actions.
If this happened I would be amazed. It is clear that no councillor or Tfl person has ever ridden a bike aroud the city - simply saying that people should be 'encouraged' is ridiculous. To be a cyclist in this ward you need to be...
Does Blair's New Labour right-wing party have anything to offer Lambeth?
Underfunded, or not, my experience with the noise nuisance team leads me to believe that they should be disbanded altogether as they proved useless in dealing with some illegal 'rave' events, providing only excuses as to why they would not act in the interests of...
I think prisoners should have the vote.
I would also say to Nadia - Council Tax under the CURRENT LIB DEM/TORY coalition (not Labour) has gone up 35% over the last four years yet services have been slashed and savings they hoped to make by closing down neighbourhood housing officers has been...
As a Labour councillor has admitted (and the Conservatives confirm) the Labour party did try and make a deal with the Conservatives after the 2002 local elections on several occasions.
Your committment to the Herne Hill Forum is welcome.
Lambeth First , the Local Strategic partnership is becoming regressive in its public participation. First the Town centre reps have been coralled into an Assembly with only 2 allowed on the Executive (...
Our local goverment is very inefficient and costs a lot to run.
We have semi educated, third rate beauracrats trying to administer complex Labour goverment social policy. Everytime a new social policy is introduced by tghe goverment, local authorities area compelled by law to comply.
If you...
The Local Strategic Partnership structure in Lambeth needs to be more open and inclusive.
Only 2 town centre reps on Executive in Southwark all areas have one (8)
The town centre reps are in a toothless Assembly.
Look at Southwark's example. The Executive meetings are...
