Well, one random person off Twitter, whose opinion you simply had to share here for some reason.

What's your thoughts on Homes for Lambeth, by the way?

 

[BusLanes]

I think it is noteworthy because Bennett is councilor for Gypsy Hill which whilst it seems he isn't running for re-election there, I would have assumed he would spend his campaign time there because the Greens have a councilor there too.

I wonder how hard Labour is fighting that ward, or for that matter, the Greens

 

[David Clapson]

I'm glad it was posted here - I would have missed it otherwise.

There was a stabbing in Electric Avenue on Saturday night. Two taken to hospital after broad daylight stabbing in Brixton I was relieved when I read it because nobody died. Which I suppose explains why it's not been widely reported. It seems our local threshold for "stabbing news" excludes an event where people are merely wounded. Makes me want to live somewhere else.

 

[nagapie]

Poor Councillor Bennett, not. He richly deserves the criticism he gets.
Whatever he's doing, it's certainly not fixing the unfit for purpose roofs on the Cressingham Estate.

How long have you lived in Brixton?

There was also a serious fight outside the Satay Bar on Sunday night that saw two ambulances and several police cars in attendance





We're going to see loads more of this as Brixton ramps up as a late night tourist attraction for boozers and clubbers.

But most canvassing happens at weekends? People are home and have time to discuss politics on their doorsteps? I think editor had a point

So this was 'tourists'?
You know this how?

I didn't say it was tourists, you fucking idiot. What I did say is that if Brixton continues its trajectory to be a major boozy nightlife destination, more alcohol related violence is pretty much inevitable.

Pre - lockdown i don't remember there being a lot of booze related violence around Brixton, but I stand corrected if there was.
Try and leave the keyboard warrior bit Ed - its unbecoming.You've banned people for less.

Since lockdown has lifted, Brixton has become far more popular.

And I've definitely seen more aggro on the streets recently, including my former local the Albert where I saw someone get glassed recently.

I'm putting us both on mutual ignore from now on because I don't want to hear your shitty little personal digs anymore

 

[David Clapson]

15 years or so. Plus a few in Stockwell.

I see you've popped up once again to make another personal dig. Grow the fuck up.

And as for increased tourism, Lambeth is recommending the building of a 96 bedroom budget hotel in the heart of Brixton to bring more people into the area. With all the new bars being opened, I'd suggest that increased alcohol related violence is likely. What's your opinion?

Is Mr paulee an Oligarch...?

 

[friendofdorothy]

I really don't like the encouraging of night life at the expense of local residents and daytime businesses. I feel Lambeth doesn't doesn't care about its existing residents and shoppers and only wants to swop them for richer new ones.

[David Clapson]

Another stabbing, outside the O2. But nobody died. Yay. Man in 60s stabbed near police station in broad daylight

 

[Rushy]

And a16 year old in St Matthews Road last night. A neighbour told me it was fatal but that's not mentioned in the article. It was still cordoned off at 3.30 this afternoon.

Boy, 16, fighting for life after stabbing in Brixton

A crime scene remains in place in St Matthew's Road, Brixton

WTF Brixton?!

 

[David Clapson]

Is it worse than usual, or do we say the same every year?

There must be a lot of people carrying knives. Haven't seen anyone being searched for years. Maybe the cops try to avoid doing it where lots of people can see.

I really don't like the encouraging of night life at the expense of local residents and daytime businesses. I feel Lambeth doesn't doesn't care about its existing residents and shoppers and only wants to swop them for richer new ones.

Another way to look at it is that some of the councillors and staff do care about the residents at the bottom of the heap, who need more social care and support than ever, and they'll do almost anything to get money to pay for services. Antisocial venues are a necessary evil, because of the business rates they pay and the staff they employ. Without all the drunken, shouting, vomiting, pissing, drink-driving, stabbing punters, how would Brixton cope?

surely 'Anti social venues' dont pay any more rates than any other businesses? with the extra street cleaning and nuicance complaints needed - I don't beleive that adds up to more income in Lambeth councils coffers.

I thought business rates went to the government anyway?

Does it? I don't know. If that's the case then there is even less reason to encourage antisocial nighttime economy in central brixton
