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. 

Councillors Nigel Haselden and Christopher Wellbelove yesterday visited the hugely popular French market which came to Clapham Town for the second time this weekend.

Venn Street, situated near to Clapham Common Tube was closed to traffic from Friday to Sunday with a wide variey of stalls following a French theme. Some of the food included delicious garlic mushrooms and freshly made bread.

Further events are planned and councillors are working with officers to ensure that the process from suspending parking bays is smoother in future.

On Saturday 18 November our local MP, Kate Hoey, joined Councillors Christopher Wellbelove and Nigel Haselden for a walkabout in the ward.

Together they visited homes on Macaulay Square Estate, talking to residents about the works being done on the estate and other issues.

As always Kate received a warm welcome from residents including one Macaulay resident (not pictured) who remembered Kate helping her with a housing issue over 15 years ago!

Kate visits the area on a regular basis and we all look forward to further walkabouts and to hearing from more local people.
