Can you help restore the painted rotunda in the Stockwell War Memorial Gardens?

Stockwell Memorial Rotunda Volunteer Day 9:00am – 5:00pm SATURDAY 23 MARCH – 9am to 4pm

The rotunda next to the Stockwell War Memorial will be repainted following a campaign by the Friends Group and local councillors.

In order to prepare for the re-paint, the Friends of Stockwell War Memorial and Gardens in association with the London Mural Preservation Society have organised a special volunteer day.

If you can spare some time – even if it’s just for an hour or so – please go along and lend a hand.

The Friends will provide all the equipment and there will be sandwiches and soft drinks for volunteers.

No special expertise needed.

Pictures of the Clapham Library

2012-07-15T17:37:00.005+01:00

If you haven't yet been to the new Clapham Library, it's worth a visit. The building has been inspired by the Guggenheim, and inside a central atrium has a children's library as it's central focal point, with rows of books running around the walls accessible via a spiral ramp. Off the main walkway are small rooms for quiet reading, studying or using a computer.

The building was funded through a private-public partnership, with new homes built above the library. A smart way to fund public services at a time when money is tight.

Sadly, the miserly Lib Dems have attacked the new library, calling it a 'flop'. Wouldn't it have been nicer if they could have welcomed it?

More details on how to access the library are here: http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/LeisureCulture/Libraries/LocalLibraries/ClaphamLibrary.htm

Despite swingeing cuts from the Tory-Lib Dem Government, The Tate South Lambeth Library will remain open, and will have a new wifi service installed soon.

Nine Elms website launched

2012-07-15T17:17:00.000+01:00

It's a bit full of PR gumf, and needs a lot more information adding to it, but it's a start - there is a new website that covers the *Vauxhall* Nine Elms development - http://www.nineelmslondon.com

Great Result for War Memorials

2012-06-18T17:31:00.000+01:00

Following a petition signed by hundreds of local residents, Labour Lambeth Council has announced approval of £200,000 funding to refurbish five war memorials, including the Stockwell War Memorial.

Stockwell Councillor Alex Bigham said "It is fantastic news that this money has been provided to ensure that our memorials are fit for heroes.

"Many modern heroes such as Naomi Klein and Sheila Dartnell have campaigned for years to ensure these memorials get the recognition and funding they deserve. We look forward to working with them on plans to restore and imporve the memorial and surrounding gardens."

Councillor Paul McGlone, Lambeth council’s Finance cabinet member, said: “Capital funding is very tight, but all Lambeth councillors agreed that the £200,000 funding had to be allocated to honour our responsibility to our war memorials in memory of those who have fallen.

“We also owe a debt of gratitude to local people like Naomi Klein, a Stockwell resident, who wrote a book, ‘These Were Our Sons’ to commemorate the memory of the 574 local men whose names are inscribed on Lambeth official War Memorial at Stockwell, as well as the Friends of Stockwell Memorial [and Gardens] for their important role in raising the profile of the need for investment.”

The other memorials that will benefit from the funding include:
•Holy Trinity Church, Clapham Common
•St Mark’s Church, Oval
•The London Regiment memorial in Kennington Park
•Streatham War Memorial

The Friends of Stockwell War Memorial said: “We are very pleased that Lambeth’s war memorials, including of course the major memorial at Stockwell, are receiving the attention they deserve. We have been working with Lambeth co-operatively over the past year on plans for improvements to Memorial Gardens and hope to see the results shortly.”

The works are due to be completed early next year.

Stockwell road sweeper gets honour

2012-06-18T17:21:00.001+01:00

Anthony Cleland, a street cleaner from Stockwell has been awarded a British Empire Medal for a quarter of a century of service cleaning the streets of Lambeth.

He was nominated by Kate Hoey MP and the Stockwell Communiny Resource Centre.

As Stockwell News reports, Mr Cleland is a widower, and the father of two children and a grandfather-of-three.

He said: “I am very proud and I think it’s great that the BEM has been brought back, it shows that ordinary people deserve to be recognised as well. My children are over the moon about it and my colleagues think it’s great that a road sweeper is being honoured. I lost my wife a few years ago but I am sure she will be up there, looking down on me when I receive the medal.”

Congratulations to Anthony from all at Stand up for Stockwell!

Cycling to Brighton

2012-06-18T17:17:00.001+01:00

Christmas Update

2011-12-11T16:49:00.000Z

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blogging over the past couple of months. It has been a busy few weeks in Stockwell and the town hall. You can keep up with our latest activities by following us on Twitter - @labourstockwell, @alexbigham, @imogenwalker and @cllrpetebowyer.

Normal blogging service will resume in January, but until then here are a few things that your local Labour team has been up to since September...

- The Portuguese Speakers' Community Centre project have found a permanent home in Kennington at 1 Othello Close (just opposite the tube station). This is great news for the project and will help them deliver services and activities for the Portuguese speaking community. The centre will officially open on 13 December. Email Cllr Alex Bigham if you want to know more.

- The Friends of Stockwell War Memorial has been officially established thanks to the work of Naomi Klein and Sheila Dartnell. They have held a number of meetings and are busy organising work to publicise the much needed restoration of the memorial. The Friends group laid a wreath along with Councillors and the Mayor of Lambeth on Remembrance Sunday.

- We have held a number of consultation meetings with the Stockwell Forum and other residents groups on the plans to develop the Vauxhall - Nine Elms area. You can read Labour's draft manifesto for the area here. There is also now a masterplan being developed to turn the Vauxhall gyratory into a far more pleasant, pedestrian friendly 'town centre' with new residential, retail and office buildings.

- We continue to campaign to bring the TFL bike hire scheme to Stockwell. The Mayor has now promised there will be bike docking stations in Stockwell by 2013, but we will keep up the pressure. A huge number of residents signed the petition which we presented to the Mayor, and you can still add your name here: http://www.gopetition.com/petition/39225.html.

- In other news, the much loved Annie McCall hospital site was put up for sale recently. However, Cllr Imogen Walker continues to work closely with the Stockwell Studios, run by local artists to ensure that any development of the site protects space for the artists to use.

- Finally, we continue to work closely with our hard working London Assembly Member, Val Shawcross. Your Labour team of Ken, Val and the Cllrs in Stockwell have been campainging for a farer deal for residents - a 7% reduction in bus and tube fares, along with reversing Boris Johnson's cuts to police numbers in London. The only way to make sure this happens is to come out and vote Labour in May next year.

Until the new year, have a very happy Christmas, and a peaceful holiday.

Labour in Lambeth reveals plans to transform Vauxhall Nine Elms

2011-09-20T14:39:00.003+01:00

New community funds, better public services, parks and transport schemes are planned

Lambeth’s Labour Councillors have unveiled their plans to transform the Vauxhall-Nine Elms-Battersea area to ensure local residents get the maximum benefit from the regeneration proposals.

In a draft manifesto, Labour has pledged that they “will ensure that the necessary infrastructure and public services will be provided for local residents affected by the developments.”

One of the highlights is the plan to develop a new ‘Community Endowment Fund’ of at least £1million which will provide an annual pot of money for local groups to ensure that the benefits of the regeneration continue after the building has finished. In addition, funding that comes from new developments for improving the community will be ring fenced so it can’t be used to subsidise any overspend on the planned Northern Line Extension.

Labour’s Leader in Lambeth, and Co-chair of the VNEB Strategy Board, Cllr Steve Reed said:
“We are getting ahead of the curve in announcing these pledges for local people – the first political party to set out a manifesto for Vauxhall Nine Elms. With 16,000 new homes coming to the area we need to be sure that our public services meet the demands of our existing and new residents. We will be engaging with our communities, so they can tell us what they want. ”

The draft manifesto will go out for consultation over the next two months. Labour Councillors will be discussing the plans with local people, community groups, residents’ associations, and other key stakeholders.

To improve transport, Labour pledges to support:
· An extended Northern line to run from Kennington to Nine Elms and Battersea
· New bus services along Wandsworth Road and Nine Elms Lane.
· A cycle bridge at Pimlico, new boat services, walkways and improved access to the river.
· The extension of the TFL bike hire scheme further South
· Traffic calming measures and improvements to prevent ‘rat runs’ through residential areas.

To improve our open spaces, Labour pledges to:
· Preserve and improve Vauxhall Park, Spring Gardens and Larkhall Park.
· Lobby TfL to remove the Vauxhall gyratory to improve the area for pedestrians and cyclists.
· Ensure that any new tall buildings do not significantly overshadow parks and homes.

In public services and culture, Labour pledges to:
· Create extra school places, doctors, and ensure hospital services are not adversely affected.
· Ensure police are not diverted by protecting the new US Embassy.
· Develop new cultural provision in the area, provide extra sports pitches and leisure centres

To support local businesses and jobs, Labour pledges to:
· Ensure developers offer apprenticeships for young residents and the unemployed.
· Work to provide new spaces for retail outlets and street markets.

The consultation on the draft manifesto will run until 15 November.

Police Appeal

2011-09-11T23:48:00.000+01:00

Police are investigating an Operation Withern (ie London Riots) crime of GBH that occurred on Monday 8 August just after 1.20am on Stockwell Road, SW9 at the junction with Broomgrove Road.

The victim aged 27 was on his way home when he saw a large group of black men, all aged approximately 18 years, aggressively approach a woman on a bicycle, and then push her off.

He intervened and was subsequently assaulted by the group leaving him unconscious. The victim received injuries to his jaw and head but is recovering well.

Police are keen to speak with the female cyclist, who would be an important witness, and to anyone else that may have been there or seen what went on.

Anyone with information is asked to call DC Jenny Courtney from Lambeth CID on 020 8721 3537.

Albert Square hosts digital switchover party

2011-09-11T23:45:00.000+01:00

London's countdown to Digital Switchover will be launched with a street tea party for residents of Albert Square, SW8.

After April 2012, when London switches over to digital-only TV, your analogue equipment (including video recorders) will not work and you could miss out on your favourite shows, so it is important that everyone has the digital equipment and set-up appropriate to their needs.
The Switchover Help Scheme press office will be talking to local residents about digital switchover, what they need to do to be prepared and the extra help that is available to certain eligible groups - including people aged 75 and over or those with a disability.

Please tell your friends, relatives and neighbours who may not be aware of the change or who are not online about this invitation.

RSVP (required) to Josie Wolstenholme on 020 7781 2300 or email helpscheme@consolidatedpr.com

Monday 12 September, 10am-12pm,
Location: Albert Square, Stockwell, London SW8

Police numbers unspun

2011-08-10T11:48:00.000+01:00

A lot of spin has been put on the issue of police numbers by Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson this morning, with an attempt to claim numbers will not go down in the light of recent violence.

But the actual budgets he is responsible for tell a different story. The Metropolitan Police Authority, which is appointed by the Mayor and receives its budget from the Mayor says that the numbers of police will reduce by 1,985 between this year (2011/12 - 53,126) and next year (2012/13 - 51,141) in its committee papers (see full document here). In addition, all police recruitment has been frozen.

Rather than going on the Today programme and making spurious claims to back up his election chances, the Mayor should come clean with Londoners so we can get to grips with policing the capital effectively.

A message from your local councillors

2011-08-09T14:34:00.000+01:00

Along with you, our friends and neighbours in Stockwell, we are appalled at the recent events of looting and violence across London and the UK.

We hope that your business, homes and property remain safe,

but in an emergency only please:

Dial 999

For non-emergencies, call 101

To report information about the current unrest,

call the Met incident room on 020 8345 4142.

Lambeth Leader responds to events in Brixton

2011-08-08T13:49:00.002+01:00

The Leader of Lambeth Council, Steve Reed, has cut short his holiday to deal with events in Brixton, and has written the following in reaction to what happened last night.

"Brixton is quickly returning to normal after last night’s disgraceful looting and disorder. Let’s be clear about one thing first: this was no re-run of 1981. What we saw last night was a mob of mainly young people taking advantage of the violence in Tottenham the night before to stage copycat activities so they could break into local shops. They targeted businesses selling mobile phones, video games, electronic goods including plasma screen TV sets, and sports clothing. It seems they used social media to move quickly in an attempt to out-run the police. There is universal condemnation from across the community this morning for what was nothing more than criminality and opportunistic theft.

I went on a walkabout around Brixton first thing and saw the clean-up operation in full swing. The damaged shops are being secured. Broken glass and litter – some of it left over from the Brixton Splash event yesterday afternoon – was being cleaned away. The Council is working with businesses and the police to make sure our town centre is restored to normal working as quickly as possible."

Stockwell War Memorial - photos of damage

2011-07-27T11:31:00.001+01:00

Stockwell War Memorial, a set on Flickr.

I visited the memorial this morning to inspect damage along with Sheila Dartnell and Naomi Klein. Not only is some of the stonework damaged, there appeared to be an insect infestation in the base of the clock tower.

New group to protect and renew Stockwell war memorial

2011-07-25T11:24:00.000+01:00

A group of interested residents and the Stockwell councillors have come together to establish a Friends group for the Stockwell war memorial. The objective of the group is to lobby the council to make repairs to the stonework lettering on the war memorial and improve the general look and feel of the site, such as the paintwork on the underground shelter.

The organisation is being set up with an informal steering committee of Naomi Klein, who has written a book on the memorial, and Sheila Dartnell whose great-uncle is remembered on the cenotaph. They are being supported by Cllr Alex Bigham on behalf of the Stockwell councillors.

The clock tower cenotaph was built in 1922 and commemorates the names of 574 local men who died in the First World War. The names on the memorial were put forward after the war by friends, family and neighbours of those who lost their lives in the bloodiest war in history. Behind each and every name is a man, and every man had a story. And in many cases, the name carved at Stockwell is the only thing left.

What can I do to help?

Residents invited to visit new waste facility

2011-06-14T13:41:00.002+01:00

Ever wondered what happens when you put your orange sack outside your front door? Well, if you're happy to hold your nose for an hour or so, you are invited to visit the new £25m waste and recycling facility that Lambeth uses, run by the Western Riverside Waste Authority.

Visits have been arranged by Lambeth Council as part of Recycle Week 2011, and give residents a first hand view of how the machines help materials to be processed faster, more efficiently and more cost effectively than before, it is claimed.

The facility, which is in Wandsworth, and was opened earlier this year by the Princess Royal, uses the latest technology to separate a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal cans, paper, cardboard and glass collected from homes across Lambeth. It means that materials collected in Lambeth no longer have to be taken to another facility in Kent, as before, meaning fewer lorries on the road, and less pollution and congestion, according to the council.

Councillor Lorna Campbell, Cabinet Member for Environment and Sustainability, said: “It is vital we all recycle as much as we can because recycling saves money and helps keep the council tax bill down. I hope there will be plenty of interest from people keen to see what happens to their recycling once it is collected from their home.”

To take part in the visit, email Catherine Bourke, waste development officer on cbourke2@lambeth.gov.uk or call 020 7926 8971 for more information.
