The management committee of the Roupell Park Estate is holding a spring clean event on 19th May from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
The aim is to get together to tidy up the estate – clear up those small but annoying bits of rubbish in the flower beds; tidy round the blocks and smarten up the estate even more.
Above all, the aim is to bring the community together and take pride in the estate. All ages and families are welcome. Equipment such as gloves, brooms and litter pickers will be provided.
Meet at 10.30am at the Roupell Park Community Centre by Hyperion House, off Upper Tulse Hill, where equipment will be provided and groups formed. The coffee morning senior citizens group will be supporting with refreshments at the community centre.
The Fish Shack and Deli Shack at 56 Morrish Road has applied for a premises licence in order to sell alcohol 12 noon to 1am each day. The bar and restaurant is listed as closing at 1.30am every day.
A previous venue at this location, Serenity Bar, had its licence revoked due to disturbance to residents and there have been ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour in the road.
The deadline for representations has been extended to 17 May due to a failure to properly display the licensing notice. Written representations can be made by emailing licensing@lambeth.gov.uk quoting the venue’s address and addressing at least one of the four licensing objectives.

Martin, Maria and Adrian with Florence Eshalomi AM
At the elections for Lambeth Council on 3 May, Adrian Garden and Martin Tiedemann were re-elected as councillors for Brixton Hill, and were joined by new councillor Maria Kay. They were elected as Labour & Co-operative councillors.
Lambeth will continue to be a Labour-run authority as the party won 57 of the 63 seats in the borough, a net loss of one, with the Greens now the official opposition. In Clapham Common ward, neighbouring Brixton Hill, Labour gained two seats off the Conservatives, allowing for better co-operation on issues across Kings Avenue such as road safety and schools.
Maria, Adrian and Martin said, “It’s an honour to be elected for our home ward of Brixton Hill and we want to thank all those who voted in the election. We spoke with hundreds of residents during the election and we listened to the issues you raised. We now want your help to set our priorities for the next four years. Get in touch and let us know what matters to you.”
