Standstill struck Streatham again last night after fresh roadworks surfaced on the boundary roads of a new Low-Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN).

Temporary traffic lights were installed at the junction of Streatham High Road, Stanthorpe Road, and the A214, to allow roadworks by SGN.

The challenges to travel presented by these roadworks is yet another barrier to residents who have faced a series of major disruptions on their roads in recent weeks.

The annual Rookery Christmas Market is a lovely, festive and fun day out for all the family.

Set within the beautiful gardens of the Rookery, the event offers over 40 craft and gift stalls – perfect for some present shopping.

Delicious hot and cold food is available alongside mulled wine and great beer from our on site brewers Inkspot.

Live music, marshmallow toasting, kids rides and entertainment all add to the day, as well as our much loved Santas Grotto.

The event ends with a magical candle lit Christmas Carol Sing-a-Long.

Brixton Library and Streatham Library are undergoing refurbishment and improvement work as part of Lambeth Council’s commitment to invest in our public libraries which have more than a million visits each year.

Brixton Library in Windrush Square will need to close for around two months, from 20 November until 30 January next year, so major work can be undertaken. The council has arranged for a temporary library to run at Brixton Recreation Centre in nearby Brixton Station Road to minimise the impact on local people.
