Not such a Freshview
NOT SUCH A FRESHVIEW IN COLDHARBOUR
A local resident has sent the following reponse to Lambeth's Freshview
exercise.
""
How fascinating, especially the last line..
But I find myself having to ask the question - Who could ever possibly have judged Lambeth as the third cleanest borough in London?
Most of the surfaces of central Brixton are still fragranced with eau d' urinal, thanks to Cleanaway, whilst the head of L.B.Lambeth's Environmental Services insisted to me in person that the idea of " Cleansing" is pedantic!! Although they can on occassion be forced to recognise their lawful contractual obligations specify "Cleanse", this seems to have been paraphrased to " Spray with water" rather than the dictionary translation of " To make thoroughly clean"
Heaven forbid anyone should object to trudging freshly spewed crack-cokaine fueled urine into their homes via the soles of their footwear. Just so long as we are told it's clean - who could possibly object? ""

If you woiuld be interested in participating in a lobby group
please email us on hernehillforum@btinternet.com.
The Herne Hill triangle ? all the area from Ferndene down to Milkwood, including Rollscourt, will be consulted about a CPZ in the latter part of this year. Judging by Southwark some streets will vote ?for? some ?against?. I can?t imagine streets like Dorchester Drive and Brantwood Road , for example, have parking problems. The Southwark model across the road is 12 noon to 2 pm only Mon-Fri and works very well ? you have some displacement from there at present: .
Please be aware that permits per car cost around £85 and that there are charges for visitor one-day passes. Trust that gives you the information you were reques

A major clean-up blitz around the Coldharbour area by Lambeth Council and other organisations was major success yesterday (September 12).The scheme, Operation Freshview, aims to improve the environment and appearance of local streets and enhance the quality of life for residents, as well as reducing fear of crime.
As well as cleaning up the streets, council staff talked to local residents to find out what their priorities were for improving the area. Among the organisations working on the project were the police, Fire Brigade and Transport for London.
Cllr Lib Peck, cabinet member for Environment and culture on Lambeth Council said:
"The day was a tremendous success and I would like to thank all those who took part, including our partners in the police, the Fire Service, Transport for London and others. One of the key aims of this administration is to tackle inequality.
"This scheme is about making lasting improvements to some of the most disadvantaged areas of Lambeth, making people truly proud of the area in which they live. This has been a fantastic start to Operation Freshview and we look forward to working with local communities and key agencies at future operations."
Among the activities taking place yesterday were:
- 136 stubby pouches handed out to community
- Five £300 duty of care fines. Shops not disposing of waste correctly
- One £300 fine of carrying waste illegally
- Ninety home safety checks and smoke detectors fitting requests booked by the Fire Brigade
- One hundred and ten bollards painted by the youth offender volunteers
- Eight on the spot littering fines.
- Four nuisance vehicles removed
- Eight arrests by the Police in relation to immigration, dangerous weapons and burglary.
- Ten suspected licensed premises visited for illegal practices such as selling to under-age people four of which have resulted in further investigation.
- Eleven bags of pirated and illegal goods confiscated
- Thirty hedges cut and pruned.

MUMFORD ROAD ( BY HAMILTON ARMS)
This little cul de sac has been used to park about 15 vehicles and there is a long running dispute between Lambeth and the Law.
At a court hearing last week the judge refused to rule that the vehicles be removed.
He also refused to rule whether the the road was private or part of the highways.
The sage and an expense continues. Meanwhile the garages which Lambeth wants to sell remain in limbo.

LAMBETH CORPORATE PLAN
Lambeth Corporate Plan launched
13 September 2006
After a period of analysis and planning, we have now released our Corporate Plan for 2006-2009. The plan sets out the council?s aspirations, vision and strategy for achieving the things that matter most to the people of Lambeth.Central to the plan are the administration?s three priority outcomes:
- delivering high quality services that focus on individuals' needs and represent value for money;
- tackling inequality and social exclusion; and
- engaging more closely with Lambeth's citizens so that people's needs are listened to and acted upon.
Alongside these are our strategic projects and programmes, the most important things for us to achieve. It is by successfully delivering these will we continue the improvements we all want, and the quality services our customers expect.
The Corporate Plan is part of the council's process of continuous improvement, and will guide us on the next stage of the journey to being rated ?excellent? in the Audit Commission's Continuous Performance Assessment (CPA) - with four stars in four years. The plan will be subject to continuous review to ensure we deliver what is needed. This year's plan will be the basis of the work to develop next year's version, which will begin immediately and will align with the council's overall planning cycle.

the good going games
the good going games ( ARTICLE SENT BY CLR THACKRAY
On Friday 15 September 2006 Lambeth Council and Wandsworth Council, along with the London wide travel awareness campaign ‘good going’ will be hosting a completely FREE competitive team building event on Clapham Common starting at 1pm and finishing at 5pm. We are inviting businesses, organisations and sports clubs from all over Lambeth and Wandsworth to take part in what will be a great afternoon of fun, learning and fantastic prizes.
The ‘good going games’ are part of ‘good going’ week which runs from 15 to 24 September. The theme of the day is to encourage Londoners to make fitness and sustainable travel part of their daily commute thus making the link between active travel and good health.
We would like small to medium sized businesses or clubs to volunteer a team of five to compete in these games. If your company cannot spare enough staff for the day we can merge your staff in with another small team.
As well as promoting the message of sustainable travel this event will be a great opportunity for local businesses to send their staff for free team building sessions with one of the UK’s top event management companies.
On the day there will be several stalls and tents on site run by organisations promoting fitness, active travel, car clubs and health and well being. Local businesses can also benefit from talking to representatives from SWELTRAC and SELTRANS who provide free expert consultancy on travel planning for businesses.
If you would like your company to take part in the ‘good going’ games or if you would simply like to know more about the games please contact Edward Paul Garside on 0207 926 9176 or egarside@Lambeth.gov.uk . Upon completing and sending the registration form all team members will receive a T-shirt and water bottle. On the day each participant will receive a good going goodie bag. Please note: All entries must be received by Friday 18th August 2006.
Here are a few of the activities taking place on the day of the games. Overall there will be a mixture of physical and mental challenges with a sustainable transport theme involving both team work and individual initiative.
On the day we are planning for around 14 separate challenges dependant on weather and attendance. The games should be over by around 4pm followed by prize giving and refreshments. There will be water and snacks available throughout the afternoon.

- Cycling Proficiency Test- Complete the original cycling proficiency test to see if you still have what it takes. Will experience triumph over youth?
- Unicycling- if you thought it was wobbly on two wheels just wait until you try with one wheel
- Ski Race- Four people facing in different directions on two giant skis must, through co-ordination teamwork and balance, manoeuvre themselves through the slalom, round the roundabout, over the bar and back Sound frustrating? It is.
- Scatty Scooters- Race through the course on these electric two wheeled scoot along vehicles.
- Puncture Repair Test- It is going to happen. You will get a flat, but do you know what to do about it? Can you change an inner tube faster than anybody else?
On the day we are planning for around 14 separate challenges dependant on weather and attendance. The games should be over by around 4pm followed by prize giving and refreshments. There will be water and snacks available throughout the afternoon.

EDUCATION RACE AND S
EDUCATION, RACE AND SOCIAL ACTION
Dear Colleague
I would like to invite you to a unique debate on Education, Race and Social Action. The debate will be led by Professor Gus John, the internationally-recognised commentator and practitioner in British education and community affairs, who will stimulate thinking and ideas around issues analysed in his new book Taking a Stand.
The book provides decisive and stimulating analysis of education, race, social action and civil unrest in the period 1980 - 2005. Professor John calls for a radical revaluation of policy to improve race relations, and offers ‘tools for understanding’ and ‘tools for action and effecting change’.
There will be brief presentations from myself, Professor John and others involved in education, and we will then go into the debate proper. Our objectives are to:
- Explore the notion of community and family empowerment, especially of young people
- Identify practical ways forward in the context of a borough as diverse, stimulating and challenging as Lambeth.
We are delighted to be working with Professor John on this important event, and I very much hope that you will be able to join us. (Fuller biographical information on Professor John is set out at the end of this letter.)
(Letter continues over page)
The debate will be on Thursday 28 September 2006, in the Assembly Hall at the town hall. We invite you to join us at 5.30 pm for light refreshments before the debate
starts at 6.00 pm. I have enclosed a separate sheet for you to confirm your attendance.
Yours sincerely
Derrick Anderson
