HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

NEW HEALTH CARE PLANS FOR NORTH LAMBETH

Public Meeting. Come and have your say

Thursday 29 November. 6.30pm.

Durning Library, 167 Kennington Lane

 

LAMBETH BUDGET CONSULTATION

Assembly Hall Lambeth Town Hall, Acre Lane, Brixton. 6.30-8pm, Wednesday 28 November 2007

In the consultation, residents will be asked for their ideas on how the council's money should be spent in areas ranging from housing to waste and recycling, before full council agrees the budget next February. Councillor Steve Reed the Leader of the Council, Lambeth's Chief Executive, Derrick Anderson and Mike Suarez, Executive Director of Finance and Resources, will be present at the meeting to introduce the event and answer any questions you may have. OPM, an independent research company, will facilitate the event and guide attendees through a number of structured exercises that will explain the budget setting process. If you would like to attend please email dclark@lambeth.gov.uk, specifying any requirements you may have. This will help us prepare the venue and materials to suit the number and nature of attendees.

Editorial comment: The future shape of Council services in the area will depend on the outcome of the setting of the Budget for 2008-9. What is driving the Council budget process: local political leadership, Government dictat, officers’ agendas, community demands,  financial problems, or a combination of all five? Are there league tables of spending on different services by ward to show whether the needs of Prince’s, Oval and Bishop’s Wards being met to the same proportions as elsewhere, or as many local people feel Kennington and Oval in particular are neglected?

Exploring the relationship between Black girls, absent fathers, Black men and Islam, this powerful play packs more than just a punch. Seductive multi-sensory storytelling through poetry, dance, boxing, song, original Ali fight footage and a superb 1970's sound track. "I am young, I am handsome, I am pretty, I can't possibly be beat!" Oval House Theatre, Kennington Oval. Tickets: £4.

NEWS

 

IMPROVING LOCAL ROADS AND PAVEMENTS. Councillor Stephen Morgan (Prince’s Ward) writes: I am writing to you to see if you have a road or pavement that you would like to see re-surfaced. Details of the programme are below. Perhaps you can email me by Saturday 24^th November and I will ask officers to look at including your nomination in the programme for next year.’  Councillors were sent the following email by officers: ‘Officers are now preparing next year’s list of roads and pavements to be resurfaced. Please nominate roads and pavements from your ward for inclusion in the new programme by 30 November 07. Please note that not all roads and pavements nominated will automatically be included in the programme – all inclusions will be decided by an engineer’s assessment. Although condition continues to be the most important criteria for inclusion, for footways last year we weighted the condition rankings by following factors:

-       importance as a footway (usage and number of links),

-       profile (e.g. town centre or by important building),

-       links with other new development (e.g. new school, carriageway being renewed),

-       and buildability (absence of other works such as utility renewals).

In addition this year we propose to add a factor representing economic deprivation, on the basis that the economically poorer communities are proportionately more dependent on high standard local footways. Despite strict inclusion rules, sometimes roads and pavements are overlooked. This is usually if they are heavily used and have therefore, deteriorated more quickly than expected. This is why ward councillors are asked to nominate. It is hoped that councillor nominations ensure that any hot spots we haven’t picked up are given due consideration. The allocated £2 million (tbc) will be distributed in the ratio 60 footways : 40 carriageways. This is because the majority of the Council’s maintenance backlog lies within the footways rather than carriageways and because we have attracted external funding for road repairs through improving local routes, bus priority schemes etc.

Fridays – Sundays to 16 December	Danielle Arnaud contemporary art 123 Kennington Road 020 7735 8292 danielle@daniellearnaud.com www.daniellearnaud.com	Conversations with Angels is a new series of drawings informed by the life and work of John Dee (1527 - 1608) documenting 'actions' or seances mediated through his scryer, Edward Kelley. Locked in the secretinterna bibliotheca of his house, Dee and Kelley pressed angelic spirits for the claves or keys that would enable them to decode the lost Enochian language. Enoch's Book of the Old Testament contained his own record of the language God taught Adam. Whoever discovered the Adamic language would rediscover the key of Divine Knowledge. A catalogue with a text by Iain Sinclair accompanies the exhibition.	2-6pm

Wednesdays - Sundays Until 16 December	Man&Eve 131 Kennington Park Road www.manandeve.co.uk.	Paper-thin Worlds Sarah Bridgland, Sam Messenger, Larissa Nowicki explore the properties of paper: Sam Messenger - intricate pen and ink drawings, using repetitive combinations of simple geometric shapes exploring the expressive potential of the line. Sarah Bridgland – mini-sculptures. Larissa Nowicki - delicate hand-woven pieces. Patiently knit together strands of shredded paper, a rigorously methodical implementation of a drawing pattern, or a painstaking process of assembling the minute elements of a sculpture - all these artworks manifest the great pride in the quality of workmanship that each artist takes in their works.	12 noon - 6pm
Till 27 January 2008	Parabola Trust 123 Kennington Road 020 7735 8292 www.parabolatrust.org	Danielle Arnaud of Parabola Trust is curating the exhibition by Tessa Farmer  ‘Little Savages’ at the Natural History Museum, London.
