Westbury Estate Tenants and Residents AGM

Westbury Estate Tenants and Residents Association held their Annual General Meeting. The evening mixed reports from outgoing committee members, election of the new committee and lots of socialising around plenty of food and drink which tenants and residents had come together to provide.

The meeting was well attended by many tenants and residents and all three Clapham Town councillors were pleased to join them.

The committee members talked about their previous year of successes which included running a youth club for young people on the estate, a halloween party, a trip to Margate, a Christmas Grotto and the opening of a new play area for the estate.

There was a great sense of community and pride in what they had achieved, with numerous words of thanks and praise for the chair Elaine Mander and the commitment she gives to the estate.

New pavement brightens up Stonhouse Street

The installation of new pavement on Stonhouse Street has transformed the area next to Clapham Manor Primary School.

Previously a scruffy scene of broken and dangerously uneven slabs, the new pavement uses smaller bricks that are less prone to breaking. The work has been warmly welcomed by local people, including parents and children at the School.

Councillor Haselden, Chair of Governors at Clapham Manor, pictured above, helped campaign for these desparately needed improvements. Now delivered, the pavements have dramatically improved the area.

Gateway project revived

Funding has been identified for a design study to revive the ‘Clapham Gateways project’ which was shelved in 2002 when Lib Dems and Conservatives took control of the council.

 

The funding will help develop a vision for Clapham Old Town, Clapham Common Station Island and The Pavement that joins them. A bid to develop this ‘area-based scheme’ has been placed with Transport for London and if successful this will result in the development of conceptual and detailed designs with implementation possible in 2011.

 

The project aims to radically improve the quality of Clapham’s public space. Your local Labour councillors have been working long and hard with officers to put the focus back on this neglected project and bring it back to life following much early work with the town centre board and local people.

Keep logging in to hear if the bid is successful and how you would be able to help us make our neighbourhood even more special than it is already.

Considerate Cycling

A project has been launched to encourage considerate cycling in the borough. Whilst we are all keen to increase the number of people cycling, with both environmental and health benefits, there is a common concern that a minority of cyclists show little or no consideration for pedestrians – cycling too fast in Lambeth’s parks and green spaces such as the cycleway on Clapham Common.

 

This project has been developed by Lambeth Sustainable Transport, police officers from local safer neighbourhood teams, local councillors and Lambeth Cyclists.

 

The project aims to highlight that pedestrians have priority but that considerate cycling is permitted. This summer and autumn have seen ‘Chill In The Park’, where cyclists are leafleted by the Sustainable Transport team and Lambeth Cyclists at Doctor Bike and Winter Wheelin’ sessions. This project to encourage enjoyable but considerate cycling has generally been very well received.

We shall update this story as the project develops.

New security doors on Nelsons Row Estate

Damaged security doors have been replaced to blocks in Nelsons Row, Triangle Place and Whites Square.

Members of the Clapham Town Labour Action Team visited Nelsons Row estate to see the new doors. Their installation brings relief to residents from these blocks who for years suffered from broken doors banging and non-residents loitering in the stairwells.

Local councillors supported demands for the replacement of the doors by Nelsons Row Tenants and Residents Association. Whilst visiting the estate they also noted improvements to landscaping outside a block on Triangle Square. 

 

Car clubs

Following the successful Car Club conference in June 2008, where Lambeth officers met with car club operators, car plus charity, TFL to discuss who Car Clubs in Lambeth could be taken to the next following the trebling of membership in the past year.

 

Several companies operate across London, Lambeth has four, Car Plus is an overarching organisation providing a single point of contact for car club provision.

 

26 recommendations came out of the seminar which council officers are currently developing into an action plan. Areas explored included expanding provision of car club bays to housing estates, increasing the speed at which car club bays are designated and parking provision.

Meet your councillors

As part of our continued efforts to make it easier for people living in Clapham Town to meet and talk to their local councillors on Saturday 25th October the three councillors for Clapham Town held four surgeries over seven hours.

Councillor O’Malley started with the regular surgery at Clapham Leisure Centre. Councillors Haselden and Wellbelove then held the first ever surgery at the Clapham Community Project in Venn Street where we were visited by several local people with a wide variety of issues for us to help with.

Councillors then moved onto the Virgin Active gym in North Street, another first, where residents from Bobbin Close came to discuss concerns about dumped rubbish and graffiti which have now been reported and will be followed up on by councillors to ensure they are resolved.

Finally Councillor Wellbelove visited Heather Close sheltered housing where he met several residents, many who had concerns over increasing bills and ensuring that their payments were up to date.
