A developer is proposing to redevelop the site at 131 Lyham Road at the junction of Lyham Road and Ramilles Close.

Before submitting a planning application to the London Borough of Lambeth, Goldcrest Homes would like members of the local community to be able to view and comment upon the plans.

They are holding a drop-in session where residents will be able to view the proposals in more detail and feedback any comments they may have to the development team.

The drop in session will be held on Wednesday 6th November from 5pm to 8pm at King’s Acre Church, 59 Lyham Road, SW2 5DH.

If you are unable to make it and would like more information, you can contact their consultation team on Freephone 0800 458 6976 or by email to lyhamroad@yourshout.org

Tristram Hunt MP, who now leads for Labour on Education, and Rachel Reeves MP, who is the Shadow DWP Secretary following the reshuffle, visited Richard Atkins Primary School on New Park Road last week with Cllr Lib Peck and Cllr Rachel Heywood. They visited the school’s excellent breakfast club and spoke to pupils and teachers.
