The Tulse Hill Tavern’s licence was approved on Tuesday 12 August as the Licensing Committee discussed the proposal. Residents were concerned about possible noise levels and we are pleased that the licence has been taken back to 1am when it was originally licensed until 3am, and that recorded music will be restricted to internal play only. A noise limiter will also be installed. Though some questions were raised about the lack of door staff the Licensing Committee were satisfied that this was sufficiently addressed by the representatives from Green King.

We are pleased that residents, business and the Council have worked together and listened to each other to bring a ‘high end’ establishment that will also hopefully see locally recruited staff. We look forward to the pub opening in November 2014.

Portico Gallery hosts the ‘The Happening’

Max and Fred spent yesterday morning with Rheanne Gonyou, the West Norwood Business Manager, as we talked to residents about their wishes and wants for Norwood Road. Cash points, cleaner streets, tackling unused shops, road improvements and the need for better, more child friendly cafés were some of the issues discussed.

Jamal of the the Norwood Community Group was pleased to be involved and share some of his expertise and experiences with those from the local community visiting the Portico Gallery interested in discussing youth work.

The Open Works: Re-imagining how we live our everyday life

The aim of the Cooperative Council is to forge a new relationship with citizens, placing local residents at the heart of all its work to make Lambeth a good place to live.

The Open Works is an experimental project aiming to transform how residents live their every day life. They involve citizens and professionals from across the council and partners, working with the local community.

The first stage of The Open Works began in February 2014. Some of the projects include; a community borrowing shop where local people can lend and borrow things they need; a Trade School where anyone can teach something they are skilled at, or passionate about. They can even pay for class with a barter item (like food, supplies, or advice), and there is a project where people come together to batch cook meals and take home potions for the week.

These are all excellent projects. If you have a project idea please see – http://www.theopenworks.org/tell-us-your-project-idea
