Local news and opportunities to get involved from your local Labour and Co-operative councillors in Thurlow Park.
Anna, Fred and Max joined local West Norwood residents at tonight’s NAG community meeting. There were presentations from the Manager of the new West Norwood Leisure Centre and Lambeth’s Street & Highways Manager.
It was clear that the condition of some of the roads and pavements in the area are of concern to local residents so we’ll make sure to be out with our rulers as we look for possible trip hazards! If you have any roads or pavements that you think need resurfacing please contact us.
Thurlow Labour had an excellent time today talking to residents on the Harpenden triangle – Ullswater, Ulverstone, Harpenden and York Hill. We talked with residents about a whole range of issues including fly tipping, the West Norwood library, parking, local business and most interestingly, the idea of a future residents association.
To enable a street party to take place, the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth have made an Order the effect of which will be to temporarily ban vehicles from entering Tulsemere Road on Sunday 7th December 2014.
An alternative route for affected vehicles will be available via Lancaster Avenue, Ardlui Road and Idmiston Road and vice versa.
4ALL’s Carols 4ALL will take place between 11:00 and 13:00.
This is a drop-in carol-singing event at which people can come and sing traditional carols and enjoy mince pies, mulled wine, coffee and tea etc; there are a few stalls selling Christmassy things as well!
In past years the informality and non-churchiness of the event has meant that we have succeeded in attracting isolated people whom Christmas might otherwise pass by and we hope to see many more this year!
To enable flood alleviation works to be carried out, Lambeth intend to temporarily ban parking, waiting and loading by vehicles at any time in Idmiston Road, on both sides, from Ardlui Road to the common boundary of Nos. 45 and 47 Idmiston Road.
The times this is in effect will be indicated by traffic signs. This comes into force on 7th December 2014 and will continue for 1 month, or until the works have been completed (whichever is sooner)
