COVID-19 Coronavirus
The COVID-19 pandemic is a massive and unprecedented danger to all our lives and livelihoods. STAY AT HOME AND SAVE LIVES! The situation and measures being taken are changing hourly and daily. Locally many volunteers have joined together in Mutual Aid groups to befriend and support those stuck at home with shopping, collecting prescription. You can contact the group covering Oval Ward and Kennington Park Estate through the Lambeth Mutual Aid Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/LambethCOVID19MutualAid/ Lambeth Council is working hard to help those who are most vulnerable and support local businesses, workers and residents. The Leader of the Council has written today (Lockdown Day 2) about some of the things they are doing “Today we are launching a helpline for vulnerable people to contact the council as part of our Community Hub which is the command centre for their protection and where food and medicine delivery,…

Rents and service charges from 1 April 2017
Hyde is currently sending out notifications of our rents and service charges for the coming financial year. The Government has instructed Housing Associations like Hyde to reduce rents by 1% (roughly £1 per week) but there is no such restriction on service charges. The charges we have to pay from 1 April are estimates and we advise everyone to look at the figures very closely. Check them against last year’s bill if you still have it.

These statements are now several months overdue. The Tenants Association has made it clear that we find this unacceptable, particularly since we submitted comments on the invoices for the Estate at the beginning of November.

OUR COMMUNITY CENTRE IS UNDER THREAT! SAVE OUR COMMUNITY CENTRE!
At the heart of Kennington Park Estate in Oval is our Community Centre which is well used and loved. Hyde Housing now plans to get rid of our Community Centre. In its place Hyde wants to build expensive flats for private sale. ***** UPDATE – Hyde has extended the deadline for its consultation on the future of our Community Centre. We now have until 5pm on Friday 6 January 2017 to tell them we oppose their plans to demolish our Centre. You can do so here https://www.hyde-housing.co.uk/tenants/resident-/community-centres-review/ And keep signing and sharing our petition here https://www.change.org/p/save-oval-s-kennington-park-community-centre ***** The TA has responded to Hyde’s Review of Community Centres, expressing our opposition to their plans for Kennington Park Community Centre. This is what we have said in our conclusion: “This is a manifestly flawed, fraudulent Consultation. We believe that the words “existing plan” are being used as a smokescreen for Hyde’s true intention…
