Next resident meeting is on Tuesday 27 September

Our next meeting is Tuesday Sept 27th, 8 pm at All Saints Church Hall, top of Lyham Road.

Come along and talk about how we can follow up on the clean-up in the future, and what else you'd like to see happen in our streets.  See you there!

Street cleaned-up!

Some pictures from today's Community Freshview. Brand new streets! What can we say? Thank you to Lambeth Council for all the help. And a really big thank you to Malcolm for organising the whole thing. It was brilliant.

Following the meeting we held about rubbish in July, the Council offered us the chance to receive a Community Fresh View Clean Up and we accepted of course...  Briefly, the deal is that we enlist the help of at least 10 residents to help with the clean up and the Council provides skips to dispose of front garden rubbish, garden tools to get rid of weeds etc, lots of compost,  plants and planters to place around the street, and lots of paint to brighten up tired walls, fences and other bits an pieces that front on to the street. They even bring along refreshments!!.  In short, its a really good deal for us and should be a fun day as well.....and another excuse to fire up the barbie !
So,....


if you want to help out please come along on the day...anytime from 10am on Saturday 17 September, meeting at 44d Morrish road and after that wherever you see people beavering away

and / or

if you would like the front of your property brightened up let us know beforehand if possible and we'll get you on the list of jobs. You don't have to be able to help out in order to geta clean up of your place so if you're away, looking after kids or or for any other reason can't get out to join in, please still feel free to ask for the clean up treatment.....We all get the benefit if the each others fronts looking good.

I've been to have a look at a couple of streets that have had theirs done and it's really good. The Council peeps have also given me some freebies and leaflets  to give out at tomorrows street party,  so keep an eye out for the Fresh View table which I'll have outside the white campervan.

I look forward to getting you on board.

Meeting on the proposed Morelli development

Things never rest around here. We've not even recovered from the street party that another event is coming our way.

The new owner of the Morelli building on New Park Rd is inviting every one interested to see his redevelopment plans, meet the architect and ask any questions you may have.

Meeting on Tuesday 6th September, 5:30-7:30 at All Saints Church Hall, 250 Lyham rd, SW2, 5NP.

Do come along. It's a great opportunity to learn more about changes proposed in our area. I feel we all appreciate that the new owner is taking the time to contact the people in the neighbourhood and show us his plans before hand.
