Looks like a united front against Lambeth Labour.This isn't a hustings is it? Not for other party's candidates?
What is the point of having a meeting to discuss the Judea People's Front vs the People's Front of Judea?
It would have been a good idea to sort these things out before nominations closed.But you could have a meeting to make sure the Judean People's Front don't stand against the People's Front of Judea?
EDIT: much too late for this election of course, and IIRC the next scheduled elections won't be for another four years?

That said it seems a bit odd that the Carnegie Trust are there (in the form of the ex Labour councillors).
I thought the Carnegie Trust and the Defend the 10 and the Friends of Carnegie all had different views.
I don't know whether to rejoice at living in Lambeth where the Greens and Lib Dems haven't even tried to have an electoral pact (as in London Borough of Richmond and the Merseyside borough of Knowsley).
It would be easier for the voter if there had been a united front to save libraries and save estates under regeneration.

Have they approached Greens/Lib Dems at all?
I went to this meeting. It was really a (local) press briefing about the campaign members issues. Unfortunately I had to leave about 5.10 pm due to a hacking cough, but up until that point they were only discussing Cressingham Gardens, Libraries (Defend the Ten also the Carnegie situation) and also the way Lambeth Council is run (cabinet system leading to top-down management and ignoring the voters).Have they approached Greens/Lib Dems at all?
Crossed your post. Greens have given Rachel a clear run - though not co-ordinated as far as I know.Carnegie Trust wasn't there. Taggart and Boucher both quit the CCT last month.
As for a united front, there is one. It's called the Green Party.

It looks like Lib Dems are targeting Streatham Hill, Streatham Wells, Oval and Thurlow Park. Which seems to not tread on Green toes.

I have a load of hand-out stuff which I could scan, if it would be helpful. But bear in mind this meeting was targeted at the 3 local journalists who turned up (one of whom looked like Alan Slingsby of Brixton Blog).
Up to the point where I left the meeting no-one suggested voting for any particular person or party.
By the way Rachel was not there, nor were Fred Taggart or Carol Boucher who had been on the guest list as it were, and we were assured had got well fed up with the way Lambeth Council were interacting with the Carnegie Trust.
