Streatham Space Project is launching their Spring festival, ASSEMBLE Festival 2024!

We invite you to ASSEMBLE.

Lambeth residents are launching a last-ditch battle to halt plans for a giant 14-storey tower block planned as the centrepiece of one of the densest developments under way in London.

It’s 8am on a Monday in October 2023. A man in a van is driving slowly down Leigham Court Road in Streatham, honking his horn and shouting at the stationary traffic in the opposite lane. “I hope you’ve brought your packed lunches with you, you’re gonna be here a while!”

Lambeth Council has suspended the Streatham Wells Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) trial in response to concerns about public transport delays and anticipated disruption from planned Transport for London (TfL) construction works on the A23 starting later this spring, says Brixton Buzz.

This wonderful weekly resource is available to people with dementia, their carers, and anyone aged over-65.

It takes place at the Streatham Tate Library every Wednesday afternoon at 4pm and is free.

The opening session finished level at 2-2, before the Buffs won the middle session 3-1 to take a 5-3 advantage into the final 20 minutes.

The Herd then added three more goals without reply, to win the contest 8-3 and complete a league double over their London rivals.

Sadiq Khan has “applauded” Lambeth council for suspending a controversial low traffic neighbourhood (LTN).

The mayor said it was clear the Streatham Wells LTN had caused “unintended consequences” and that it was the right decision to suspend it.

The Streatham Wells LTN trial was introduced in October last year to reduce road danger and make the neighbourhood safer and healthier by restricting motor vehicle access to streets within the scheme.

Lambeth Council admitted the combination of major roadworks and its Streatham Wells LTN had caused “significant strain on bus services”, reports Noah Vickers, Local Democracy Reporter
