Busy week in Oval

Its been a busy week for us, with our community meeting on the Northern Line Extension on Thursday, Ovals action day on Saturday with the Vauxhall Labour Party and today the Vauxhall Park fete.

VNEB and residents desire to understand how the developments will effect them ran as a theme through all these events. There's a good write up on Thursdays meeting on the Oval partnerships website: http://www.ovalpartnership.org.uk/news/NLE-community-meeting-ashmole-hall.html

The good news is immediately following Thursdays meeting TfL agreed to extend the consultation by a further 10 days (on top of the original extension).

We'll share as much information as we can on the continuing consultations here - and will be sharing the outcomes from the meeting as soon as possible.

Todays Vauxhall Park fate, organised by the Friends of Vauxhall Park, went really well. Despite earlier rain we all stayed dry and the sun came out. Highlights included some fantastic robot bollards and bins, which the children really enjoyed, and the lovely cakes! We were pleased to run our first Labour stall at the event.

Vauxhall gyratory

Val Shawcross, our GLA member, strongly supports change to, and the taming of, the gyratory. She is keen to get local support for her talks with TFL, which are currently on going as the possibility of change to the gyraory is being discussed as part of all the developments.

Val understands that the gyratory is an environmental blight for this area, but would like residents to email their support for change and calming to her. Her email address is : valerie.shawcross@london.gov.uk
