This is more than double the persons fed by Clapham Park Foodbank in the previous period. The increase in demand was particularly acute in the first three months of the pandemic (April - June). In the same wards in this OUR WORK IN THE period, we fed 539 people in total, compared to just 197 people fed PANDEMIC - 3 in the same three months in 2019.

Sadly, the need for our service in our area has changed substantially too. An analysis of our annual data strongly suggests that need in our community has increased significantly, almost doubling in some areas. This matches what our volunteers are experiencing at the Foodbank. It feels busier than ever. To give you a snapshot of need in Clapham, we have compared our work in four wards in 2020 and 2021. We have also drawn on the data held jointly between the Trussell Trust Foodbanks in Lambeth, to give you an indication of who is using our services and why they need help. 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 l t r r r r i y e ly s e e e e ry ry h r a n u u b b b b a a rc p M Ju J g o u u a A u em ct em em n r A t O v c a eb M ep o e J F S N D Cumulative persons fed in Clapham Town, Clapham Common, Balham and Thornton Wards in 2020- 21 (Green) deliver food across the borough, rather than just in A note on our data our usual area.

Across Lambeth We were most commonly visited by Single Individuals (42%). 39% of the households we 52% supported were families with children. Over half (52%) of those who needed help said that they had to come to our Foodbank due to low income. Understandably, more people than previous years cited illness as a reason to attend. 52% of referrals across Lambeth were due to low income failing to cover the costs of living meeting all referrals to Trussell Trust Lambeth we had been operating on our own.

This means we might receive clients the above reasons explains the astonishing rise in who would have, in other years, been referred to demand during the pandemic. However, we would be Foodbanks further afield (for example if they attended grateful if you could keep them in mind when using or Brixton Job Centre). We have no reason to believe that discussing our data. this cohort is the main reason for the 128% increase in persons fed against the previous year.

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of businesses, community groups and individuals in our area. Thank you for your help during this time.

  • Chapter 5: Parks and Open Spaces
    Draft CHAPTER 5 Parks and Open Spaces Before it became intensively developed for housing, the parish of Battersea was mostly open agricultural land governed by differing types of tenure (Ill. 5.1). Perhaps a third of it was in some form of common tenure. It was from these areas that the larger public open spaces described in this chapter— Battersea Park, Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common—have come down in the guise familiar today. The two commons, as their names imply, occupied common land, governed by laws defining the rights of the lords of the manor and copyholders or commoners. Mainly they provided rough grazing and were exploited for brushwood and gravel. In addition there was the large expanse known as Battersea Common Field or Fields, located on more fertile ground closer to the river and subject to flooding. This was not full common land in the same sense as the two commons. It was owned freehold by the lord of the manor, leased or tenanted largely in strips, and intensively cultivated for arable farming or market gardening. ‘Lammas rights’ of turning out livestock over the fields for certain weeks of the year were held by local parishioners, while entertainment venues had become an established feature of its riverside sector by 1800. It was here that Battersea Park was created. The perceived public interest in both types of tenure led eventually to the emergence of Battersea’s three great open spaces. But they evolved in different ways. Battersea Park came into being by a series of accidents. After endeavouring to enclose Battersea Fields and failing, the Spencers as lords of Survey of London © English Heritage 2013 1 Draft the manor decided in the 1830s to sell the area in lots.

Introduction 1 2. District Centres West Norwood 1 Clapham Park 4 3. Local Centres Loughborough Junction 6 Kennington Park Road/ Kennington Road 8 Lambeth Local Plan Review October 2017 Proposed Town Centre Boundary Changes 1. Introduction There are a three different types of town centres within Lambeth and more widely, across London; major centres, district centres and local centres. The London Plan defines them as follows: Major Centres are important shopping and service centres and have a mix of both comparison and convenience shopping. They usually have more than 50,000sqm of retail, leisure and service floor space. With sizeable local catchment areas, many of these centres have enough established cultural and entertainment facilities to keep them alive in the evenings and may also have significant employment, service and civic functions. District Centres have traditionally provided convenience goods and services for local customers. They typically range in size from 10,000sqm to 50,000sqm and contain at least one food supermarket or superstore and non-retail services. Local Centres have traditionally provided local services for local customers. The boundaries of each town centre are designated on the Lambeth Local Plan 2015 Policies Map. If these are to be changed, this must take place through a review of the Lambeth Local Plan. This document outlines proposed changes to the boundaries of one district centre (West Norwood) and three local centres (Poynders Road and Clapham Park, Loughborough Junction and Kennington Park Road/Kennington Road) across Lambeth.
