Street Party: July 2
Wow. Can I just steal their ideas for our street party (July 5)? My co-organiser has ruled out the idea of llamas

Myatts Field Fair today as well (1-5pm), though I can't find a page to link to, apart from this one which hints they are still looking for judges for the cake competition.

So no owls - but there will probably be cake, and definitely a barbecue.

A shame they couldn't have coordinated not to be on the same day
I assume they've all done it as today is the longest day. Bummer though - there's 4 things I would normally go to all on at the same time.

Myatts Field one was packed when I went passed on the P5. Didn't bother getting off the bus though. Been out since 9am this morning and my bloody feet were killing me.

I thought it was open till 5pm but in fact it was only 4pm. I arrived via the back entrance around 4.30pm but luckily still managed to fire off a load of shots as I was being escorted off the premises!Shit. I forgot about the garage open day

Nice day at Myatts's Fields in the sun with a few ciders, lots of kids running around and a few cool bands playing salsa and reggae. Saw editor and a few other urbs. Saw Argentina scrape past Iran in the Grosvenor. Gutted I missed the bus garage but I'm hoping for a few good pics editor!

Nice to see the loughborough Farm folk braving the weather today. It's looking good. I was speaking to a lovely lady there, and she told me it is only a temporary site. What a shame.

Unusual for Lambeth not to have a co-production consultation these days.
Surely they can't be just selling the site for a commercial development?
The houses fronting Wanless Road look quite distinctive, though everything else is a hotch-potch. I bet it all ends up flattened to make space for a gated block of flats à la Barratts Brixton Square. They could easily get 100 flats round a quad there - though there is a problem with overlooking the gardens of Herne Hill road houses.

Re the Wanless Depot development "consultation" tonight at 209 Coldharbour Lane - I have extracted the graphic from the MUSE Your New Town Hall Presentation. The proposal to flog off this site were clearly well established last October - though they were buried on page 12 of the presentation.

Not really - just next to the design of NEW OLIVE MORRIS just so as you'd never suspect.

You are probably right - considering part of the back of the site is sheds used as a dog pound for stray dogs.
Were you part of the consultation then?
I was referred on to the stakeholder meeting at Brixton Rec which will presumably discuss the whole MUSE Your New Town Hall scheme on Monday 7th July at 6.30 pm.
My suggestion about getting 100 flats on the site was sarcastic, and based on clearing the whole site first. From what the guy said to me at the meeting yesterday the front Victorian Houses and the "coach house" are to be kept, leaving the sheds to be replaced by 3 houses and 5 flats, if memory serves correctly. If you are nearby no doubt this is fine - from a design point of view.
I asked the architect/planner from the developers about social housing and he was very clear that there will be no social or affordable housing on this site. the MUSE development will meet the required standard for affordable housing he said - but only when looked at as a whole - not on individual sites like Wanless Road.

I had an invitation letter to the Wanless Rd consultation and would have gone I hadn't already arranged to be away that week. They didn't exactly give much notice - about two weeks.
Since then I had an (anonymous) flyer through the door encouraging folk to go to the consultation (with an implication that they might want to object).
I guess it could affect those on Herne Hill Rd whose back gardens border the site.
I have no fundamental objection to it other than that part of the character of LJ is that it isn't just residential, with quite a lot of people working here during the day, and this development would swing the balance of land usages towards more residential.

This meeting was for the developers (MUSE) to sound out residents about the design of their scheme. It was not part of the Town Planning process.
Pity you were not able to go - we (I mean Urban75 "users") may never know what was said!
