Ambitious plans to regenerate Clapham have been given the go-ahead by Lambeth Planners. The council’s development partner, Cathedral Group, was granted permission for the multi-million pound Clapham One development at a planning committee meeting..

Part of the Future Clapham scheme, the development will deliver new, high quality public facilities for Clapham at no cost to the tax-payer. The scheme will also deliver 199 new homes.

It involves the redevelopment of two sites in Clapham:

Mary Seacole House on Clapham High Street will be re-developed to provide a state-off-the-art community library, healthcare centre and 136 new homes.

Clapham Leisure Centre site will be transformed to create a brand new facility – including a six-lane, 25 metre pool, a 100 station gym and a four-court sports hall – as well as 63 apartments.

The Mary Seacole House development is subject to final approval by the Greater London Authority, a decision is expected by the end of April.

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.

We have been informed of temporary traffic provision on 5 November for the firework displays. 

Details of the Temporary traffic provision in Clapham.

Please find below notification of the temporary closure of Venn Street on the weekend of 25th / 26th October for a speacial farmers market to take place. This follows an earlier trial of a French Market which was very succesful.

A new gallery and creative agency has opened in Stonhouse Street, Clapham. Filling a site that has been empty for over five years ‘Heard Gallery‘ is a welcome addition to the area and adds to an already amazing mix of creative vibrancy that helps make Clapham such an exciting place to live.

The opening party was full of local people curious about this new addition to the area, and I met with one local resident who had just made her first purchase.

The owners are proving to be keen to engage with the local community and have already began discussion with Councillor Haselden regarding engage with Clapham Manor School and are eager to also work with other local schools including the Lambeth Academy.

I look forward to a bright future for Heard and hope the combination of a gallery and creative studio will secure a long future for them here. Please do pay them a visit, they are extremely friendly and I am sure will make you feel welcome.
