Better living through chemistry.
Has anyone else noticed that LBL seem to have bought a job lot of non flowering daffodils? Both of these pictures from Rush Common should show A host of golden daffodils, Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. As it is and as you can see there is a host of green leaves fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Of flowers there are few. Much as I applaud LBL's desire to let a thousand flowers bloom they seem to have been sold a pup here. So keep your eyes peeled when you're out and about in the borough boys and girls and send in your pictures of non flowering daffodils.

This should probably be tagged at the end of the March thread: here's the Brixton Buzz round up of all the news from the past month.

That's a fantastic round up. I'm thinking that these monthly summaries are going to form a really useful archive for future generations.

Cabinet next Monday will hear the 2015 update on the Lambeth Community Plan. It also attempts to clarify what is meant by the Co-operative Council.
I'm still none the clearer.

Went to the Streatham hustings this evening. Unlike Norwood's recent event this one featured short speeches from all candidates (except UKIP who didn't attend).
The Lib Dem candidate who had been a council candidate, but not a councillor, seemed quite pleasant and homespun back her lack of experience came accross.
The Tory candidate was a Wandsworth councillor apparently and was sort of a young version of Theresa May lite.
The Green candidate, Mr Bartley, forcefully but gently put a left position on tax and services, but for me the surprise was a very powerful Unjum Mirza for TUSC.
Chuka got a degree of leaway - bening given a right to reply to other candidates points a couple of times. He dealt with the meeting efficiently, but hardly passionately. Interventions from the audience were not encouraged at all (this was a meeting organised by Age Concern and they selected which pre-submitted written questions would be asked).
2 councillors interjected from the floor with speeches purporting to be questions - Ed Davie (Labour - Thornton Ward) started asking about mental health and used this as an opportunity to rant at the Tory candidate who he pointed out was intimately associated with unfair funding in flagship London boroughs.
Scott Ainslie - Green, St Leonards Ward also launched a tirade directed at Chuka which outraged some Labour supporters in front of me.
I quite enjoyed the meeting, and the chat with TUSC leafleters afterwards.

Have your say on how your libraries
parks, sports, and arts services
will be run
Cultural Services review - Have your say
Dear ,
This is your chance to let us know what you think and influence proposals concerning the future provision of cultural services in Lambeth before decisions are taken. By cultural services we mean your local park, open space, library, the borough archives, sports and physical activities and the arts. We are proposing significant changes to the way cultural services in Lambeth are provided and this may include the council no longer providing a service.
The council is facing unprecedented cuts to its core funding and has to save £90 million by 2018. By 2018 we’re going to have just over half what we had in the budget for these services in 2013-14.
Furthermore, our population is expected to increase by more than 30,000 in the next 10 years and we need to use some of our assets to have money to invest more widely.
The Cultural services by 2020 booklet, explains how we intend to make financial savings and meet the challenges ahead.
So we’re proposing to sell Waterloo and Minet libraries and use the money to create a £10million endowment fund for the culture and library services. We’re proposing to have five town centre libraries and four community libraries across the borough and having that money means we can invest in and look after them.
We also want to be more ambitious around generating income in our parks. Included in this is a new proposed events strategy to bring a cultural festival to Lambeth, hold more events across the whole borough and bring noise levels for events into line with the majority of London.
We’ve had thousands of conversations with people over the last few years about libraries, parks, sports facilities and events. These experiences and ideas have all helped shape the proposals being consulted on now.
We’re proposing to work together with local people and partners across Lambeth to transform how cultural services are provided. In some cases the council will do less, stand back, and let others take the lead. Some organisations are already stepping up and taking over, for example SCCOOP (Streatham Common Cooperative) are now managing the Rookery at Streatham Common.
You can find the overview booklet and supporting documentation on the Lambeth website (http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/consultations/cultural-services-by-2020) and at all Lambeth libraries. We’ve also gathered together some additional information that might help you if you want to know more about the background to some of the proposals.
You can let us know what you think in a number of ways:
• You can respond online using the Cultural Services by 2020 - Online questionnaire, please complete this questionnaire by midnight on Friday 24 April 2015.
• Paper copies of the questionnaire will be available at all Lambeth libraries and should be returned to a library or the freepost address by midnight on Friday 24 April 2015.
• Speak to your elected ward councillor about these proposals.
• Email your thoughts to culture2020@lambeth.gov.uk.
• A range of events will be held across the borough throughout the consultation period. Details will be available on the website as soon as they are confirmed.
• Follow us and comment using social media – Twitter @lambeth_council #culture2020.
If you have any queries about the consultation or difficulty accessing any information please contact culture2020@lambeth.gov.uk
Kind regards
Lambeth Libraries
