Local Council Services to be Cut
Lambeth Council Cultural Services are being CUT! Government austerity measures mean that Lambeth Council’s funding has been halved, which means a devastating £90 million service cuts over the next three years. Some of those cuts will come from the budget for our local libraries, parks, sports centres and the arts, and many much valued and used local facilities could be for the chop. Consultation is taking place with a closing date of 24 April. The questionnaire is available online at www.lambeth.gov.uk/culture2020consultation and in the Library. For residents of Kennington Park Estate the proposals particularly mean the loss of all council funding for our nearest library, Durning, and changes to the way Kennington Park is funded and operates. Durning Library The Council is proposing to turn Durning into a ‘Community Library’. There is a Campaign against this already underway: As well as stopping…
News and Information from the Tenants Association – February 2015
Introduction of warden controlled parking enforcement arrangements As agreed at the last meeting of the TA in November 2014, a formal complaint was submitted to HSH/Hyde on behalf of KPETA about the lack of parking enforcement arrangements on the Estate after more than two years. The TA received a full response from the Hyde London Region Director in which he conceded: ‘I agree that the time taken to review Hyde’s parking policy and complete a successful consultation process has been unreasonably lengthy. In planning this project and considering the extraordinary levels of resident engagement which have been allowed for officers should have been clear on project timescales and cut off dates for key decisions in order that a successful enforcement programme could have been put in place that balanced involvement and progress. In light of this we have decided, as an offer of good will, to provide something of benefit to…

HAVE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION?
The General Election is on 7 May this year and it’s your chance to have your say on who should form the next Government. Without much fanfare, the system for voter registration in the UK has been changed. At the last General Election, one person in every household was responsible for registering everyone else. Under the new regime, each person is required to register to vote individually. Many haven’t yet done so, and hundreds of thousands of people have reportedly fallen off the electoral register – possibly without realising. Could you be one of them? Whether or not you intend on voting for any political party or candidate, the act of registering is an important way of exercising your hard-won right to vote. Register now at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote or http://lambeth.gov.uk/elections-and-council/elections/register-to-vote. DO IT TODAY! DO IT NOW! If you’re not on the Electoral Register before 20 April you will not be…
