Rather "New Loughborough" I thought!
 
I suppose it's about what you consider new. It looks more in keeping with the 'old' Loughborough estate, which was also post-war architecture.
Got you there - the old Loughborough Estate as built before 1939! In any case I expect a Herne Hill resident would hardly be expected to know that us locals commonly refer to Old Loughborough or New Lougborough as a matter of convenience and orientation. Get your social housing history sorted. Up the workers and down with the bourgeoisie!
Ashby House is given as built in 1932 according to the London Picture archive

I beg your pardon? You have absolutely no idea where I live. Neither do you know anything about my class.
 
The Peter Shorinwa Community Centre was referred to up thread some time back. I had not appreciated the magnificence of it.
Is Peter still with us? Surely such signature appreciation is reserved for those who have departed?

Still listed as a board member.
I've never even seen this building. 🤷‍♀️
Looks like the former rent office outside Ashby House to me. But I've not visited Ashby House for a couple of years.
I obtained the photo by Googling what is written on the outside now.
 
The Metropolitan Police were called at 11.18 p.m. on Friday 23 August 2024 to reports of shots being fired on Lilford Road. Police officers attended and a number of shell casings were recovered. There were no injuries, and there have been no arrests.

An investigation is under way, and anyone who witnessed this incident or has footage should call police on 101 or post on X @MetCC quoting 177/13AUG. To remain 100 per cent anonymous call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.
 
I see that Jim Dickson is busy campaigning in favour of road-building & increasing road traffic down in Dartford.

Refurbished at great cost and is now gated with a high wall and electric gates. Hired out as the Peter Shorinwa Community Centre. Peter is a volunteer Chair of LEMB. As such his name should not be on a Lambeth building. Stroking his own ego!

I never really knew about the sushi/noodles place on Milkwood Road but a few mates took me there last weekend and it was great. 50% off food during the daytime as well, you can have a proper slap up lunch for like £15.

The proposed Co living development does not require onsite affordable housing.

Money in lieu is accepted instead. Which is spent in Lambeth on affordable housing.

Developer has managed to argue it down using Viability assesment to just over 9 million instead of the equivalent of 35 percent affordable which is 24 million
 

The planning application for the Co living development is tomorrow.

There is a way to watch these online. I've forgotten how.

There will be speakers against the application.

Its Item three..
There is a Lambeth Democracy Twitter feed which gives links to watch meetings when they become available.
When the meeting starts it will say on there.
The video links also play back the recordings of past meetings
I was particularly gripped by the Pensions Board - what does this mean from the minutes of their previous meeting?
Regarding the McCloud implementation and the Pensions Dashboard, officers stated that the team were working very hard. In a previous Pension Board meeting the team moved the risk rating for the McCloud from an amber to a green because of how well the project had been doing. The team were also on track with the Pensions Dashboard.
 
PS ought we to be campaigning to have Lambeth switch from Musk to BluSky?

I think it'll happen pretty quickly if just because Labour MPs and allied trades have all been migrating in recent weeks.

There are a lot least a couple of Lambeth councillors on as well, Rezina Choudhuay and Ben Curtis

I believe it was voted through last night......
 
Regarding the Wellfit planning application - I dipped into it live, and heard some discussion about developer giving money for station improvements.
Unfortunately it was not at all clear what this was - either amount of money or what for.

I've just come back from a trip to Streatham and I see LJAG have a community noticeboard on the platform at the top of the stairs - and the petition for a lift features prominently with the QR code (for those equipped).

My fear is that Lambeth Planners might rather take some developers money for picnic tables at the station entrance.
That's the sort of frippery that runs though Lambeth officers minds IMHO!

Yes.

Cllr Emma Nye to her credit voted against.

All the Herne hill Cllrs turned up to oppose the application. Including Jim Dickson MP. Impressed the Herne hill Cllrs supported residents objecting

Money is section 106 improvements

For extra rain shelters on the platforms. So improvements for platforms

Also money to go towards a feasibility study for lift - many platforms accessible

The rational is that a feasibility study would make applying for government money to make station fully accessible more likely to succeed.
