Brixton customer service centre

I've just come from renewing my parking permit at Brixton cumstomer service centre and was really pleased with the amazingly quick service.

My book went entouched as friendly staff quickly pointed me in the direction (I pre booked an appointment via phone this morning using the new system) and I barely got to appreciate the very modern and nice waiting area!

Thanks!

Candidates listen to local issues

As usual Oval candidates Jack, Karim and Jane were out and about in Oval this weekend.

We spoke to a number of residents about their local priorities and concerns. In particular residents on Fentiman Road voiced concerns on the speed of traffic up the quiet residential street - as people use it as a cut through from Clapham Road to South Lambeth Road. Karim, Jack and Jane will be taking up this issue with Lambeth Council and will report back with how residents can make their voice heard.
