TELL LAMBETH HOW TO IMPROVE OUR STREETS
Lambeth Council has funding from Transport for London to improve streets in Vassall and Coldharbour and is inviting residents to suggest ways that this can be done.
The Neighbourhood Enhancement Programme (NEP) is a commitment to providing and maintaining roads, pavements and open spaces that are safe, clean and attractive in Vassall, Oval, Stockwell, part of Herne Hill, Coldharbour, Ferndale, Larkhall and Clapham Town.
Those areas were chosen because they have a high number of road safety accidents and because of links with existing projects. The funding must be spent by spring 2014, and so they are urgently seeking residents view now (end of consultation in May 2013)
