Northern line extension: Transport and Works Act Order

On 30 April 2013 TfL submitted an application for a Transport and Works Act Order (TWAO) which, if granted, gives them permission to build and operate the extension to the Northern Line Extension. The submission will include an application for deemed planning permission for the works.

We'll be keeping a close eye on these developments and trying to get the best possible outcome for residents.

Restoration of Kennington Park Flower Garden

Letter from the Friends of Kennington

I am writing to ask for your help with an exciting project to improve Kennington Park.

Last November the Friends of Kennington Park and Lambeth Council obtained a grant from the Heritage Lottery fund to plan the restoration of the Flower Garden.  Part of the grant is to draw up an Activity Plan to increase knowledge of the Garden among local people and bring more park users to appreciate and care for it.

To make sure that our plans reflect the ideas of local people we are setting up a Stakeholders Advisory Group. Its role will be a key element in guiding the project and the work of the Landscape Architects planning the restoration and ensuring the future welfare of the Garden.

The first meeting of the Group will be at 6.30 pm on TUESDAY 28 MAY at St Agnes Church Hall, Kennington Park Place.

I would like you to join our Stakeholders’ Advisory Group and invite you or your nominated representative, to come to the meeting.

We will be sending out, nearer the date, an agenda notice. As well as the Landscape Architects, we have been offered help by local volunteers. They will be at the meeting to help us capture your ideas and opinions.

If The Heritage Lottery Fund approve our plans and give us funds to implement them, we hope to start work early in 2014.

I would be very grateful if you would let me know by Friday 17 May if you or a colleague can attend the meeting. If you are not free to do so, perhaps you would like to be kept in the picture by getting a copy of the record of the meeting.

I do hope you will feel able to join us. The demand on your time will not be too great; the meeting on 28 May is planned to last 2 hours at most.  There will be one further meeting to review the plans, to be held 23 July.   If successful, we would hope to retain your interest and enthusiasm over the next 18 months whilst the works are completed (six months) and the Activity Plan is implemented.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please reply to me by e-mail (johnston.methley@nujj.com)

Yours sincerely

GORDON JOHNSTON

Come to the first Lambeth cycling conference on Saturday 27 April 2013.

Lambeth Council have organised a conference to discuss ways in which the borough can be made the most cycle friendly in London so that cycling is 'normal' and the default transport option for everyone.
