VNEB – Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea Opportunity Area

Vauxhall will radically change over the next 20 years, starting now with a number of large scale developments planned at Vauxhall and around the gyratory, stretching down Wandsworth and Nine Elms Lane. These will ultimately provide over 16,000 new homes, 25,000 new jobs and a new extension to the Northern Line. It is anticipatedf there will be up to 9,000 new residents in Oval ward alone!

We have been taking a lead to put the community at the heart of this process. Most importantly we want to make sure the community help to shape where benefits to the area are delivered and what benefits we want to see.

We lobbied officers to further engage representatives from local community groups and
residents association. On the 12th planners briefed residents and representatives from local community groups on details of each scheme and how the Lambeth/Wandsworth project board will operate.

We have been attending meetings with key local groups to ask how they would like to be involved and their aspirations for the developments.

If you have an upcoming community meeting you would like us to attend to speak about these changes please email us on ovallabour@gmail.com
