London Borough of Lambeth Electric Avenue, Electric Lane and Atlantic Road Proposed Changes to the Brixton Market Pedestrian LONDON BOROUGH OF LAMBETH ELECTRIC AVENUE, ELECTRIC LANE AND ATLANTIC ROAD PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE BRIXTON MARKET PEDESTRIAN ZONES, INCLUDING ONE-WAY SYSTEMS, LOADING RESTRICTIONS, A BAN ON GOODS VEHICLES OVER 7.5 TONNES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD HUMPS (“SPEED TABLES”) [NOTE: This notice is about proposals to ban goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes maximum gross weight from using Electric Avenue, to reverse the one-way traffic system in part of Electric Avenue, impose a new one-way traffic system in part of Electric Lane, allow market traders who have permits to gain access to Electric Avenue for loading and unloading at certain times, change the operational hours of the pedestrian zone in part of Electric Lane so it no longer operates on Sundays and allow goods vehicles to enter that zone for loading and unloading at certain times and introduce a Restricted Parking Zone in part of Electric Lane. This notice is also about proposals to provide flat- top road humps (known as “speed tables” or “raised tables”) in Atlantic Road, Electric Avenue and Electric Lane. Objections or other comments may be made – see paragraph 7.) 1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth proposes to make the Lambeth (Prescribed Routes) (No. -) Traffic Order 201- and the Lambeth (Waiting and Loading Restriction) (Amendment No. ----) Order 201-, under sections 6 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. 2. The general effect of the Orders would be to: (1) ban goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes maximum gross weight from entering Electric Avenue at any time; (2) reverse the direction of the one-way traffic system in that length of Electric Avenue which lies between Electric Lane and Brixton Road so that it would apply from east to west (towards Brixton Road); (3) impose a one-way traffic system from north to south for all vehicles except pedal cycles in those lengths of Electric Lane which lie (a) between a point 8 metres north of Electric Avenue and the north side of Electric Avenue (in a direction towards Electric Avenue); and (b) between the south side of Electric Avenue and Coldharbour Lane (in a direction towards Coldharbour Lane); (4) ban the left turn by vehicles from Electric Avenue (the length that lies between Electric Lane and Brixton Road) into Electric Lane; (5) allow permit holder’s vehicles to enter the pedestrian zone in Electric Avenue between 8 am and 9 am on Mondays to Saturdays and allow the loading or unloading of permit holder’s vehicles during those hours, except on the Red Route (permits would be strictly limited and available only to street market traders who have a market stall in Electric Avenue); (6) change the operational hours of the pedestrian zone in Electric Lane so that the zone would no longer operate on Sundays (the new operational hours would be from 8 am to 6 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and from 8 am until 2 pm on Wednesdays); (7) allow goods vehicles to enter the pedestrian zone in Electric Lane, between Atlantic Road and a point 8 metres north of Electric Avenue, for the purpose of loading or unloading between 8 am and 9 am and between 5 pm and 6 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and between 8 am and 9 am on Wednesdays; (8) introduce a Restricted Parking Zone in Electric Lane between a point 8 metres north of Electric Avenue and Coldharbour Lane (this means that the waiting and loading restrictions in that length of Electric Lane would be indicated by the placing of “Restricted Parking Zone” traffic signs only and there would be no yellow lines or kerb markings on the road). 3. NOTICE IS ALSO HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the London Borough of Lambeth proposes, under section 90A of the Highways Act 1980, to construct the type of flat-top road humps known as “speed tables” or “raised tables”:- (1) Atlantic Road, by its junction with Electric Avenue and Pope’s Road, extending for a distance of 26 metres including the gradients (the existing zebra pedestrian crossing on Atlantic Road would be positioned on this speed table); You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com) (2) Electric Avenue, extending along the whole length of that road, including its junction with Electric Lane; (3) Electric Lane, by its junction with Electric Avenue, extending for a distance of 26.5 metres. [Each speed table would be an elevated section of carriageway, having a maximum height of 100 millimetres, with a flat top that extends across the full width of the carriageway from kerb to kerb, so that the flat top of the speed table and the adjoining footways form a continuous surface.] 4. The proposals are designed to help market traders and local businesses by creating a more pleasant trading and shopping environment that would also improve the look and feel of the area for local residents. The road humps (“speed tables”) are also required to reduce traffic speeds and so improve road safety particularly for pedestrians. 5. If you have any enquiries, please telephone the Council’s Capital Delivery Team on 020 7926 0728. 6. A copy of each of the proposed Orders and other documents giving detailed particulars about them and the road humps (including maps) are available for inspection between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm on Mondays to Fridays inclusive (except on bank/public holidays), until the last day of a period of six weeks beginning with the date on which the Order is made or, as the case may be, the Council decides not to make the Orders, at: the offices of Lambeth Council's Highways and Transport Group, 5th Floor, Blue Star House, 234-244 Stockwell Road, London SW9 9SP. To arrange inspection please telephone 020 7926 0209. 7. All objections and other representations relating to the proposed Orders or road humps must be made in writing and all objections must specify the grounds on which they are made and should be sent to Barbara Poulter, Highways and Transport Group, London Borough of Lambeth, 5th Floor, Blue Star House, 234-244 Stockwell Road, London SW9 9SP, by 11th March 2016. Any objection may be communicated to, or be seen by, other persons who may have an interest in this matter.

  • Trams in Brixton 1870 - 1951
    TRAMS IN BRIXTON 1870 - 1951 Horse Trams Two Acts of Parliament, passed in 1869 and 1870, empowered the Metropolitan Street Tramways Company to construct tramways from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to Brixton and to Clapham. The company got to work quickly; they lost no time in laying down double tracks with rails level with the surface of the road. 2 May 1870 was an important day in Brixton's history. It was the day when the first authorised tramcars operated in London. 1 The new trams ran that day from the Horns Tavern in Kennington Road and along Brixton Road as far as its junction with Stockwell Road. The smart blue tramcars were hauled by two horses. Cars seated 22 persons inside and 24 on the open top deck. The passengers inside sat on red velvet cushions. For top deck passengers were two wooden benches running the length of the tram; these passengers faced outwards. Trams ran every five minutes. The normal fare was a penny a mile but Parliament had required special trams to be run for workmen in the morning and evenings at a halfpenny a mile.2 As soon as the 1870 Act was passed more track laying was rushed on with, and by the end of 1870 trams were in service from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to St Matthew's church, Brixton, and another line ran along Clapham Road to the Swan at Stockwell. During 1871 tramcars had reached the Plough at Clapham, and the Brixton Line had been extended to the junction of Brixton Water Lane.

  • Diverse Effects, Strategies and Perspectives Among Small Migrant Businesses in Gentrifying Brixton
    The multifaceted face of neighbourhood change; diverse effects, strategies and perspectives among small migrant businesses in gentrifying Brixton Maarten Kaptein, 4149319 [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Ilse van Liempt Word count: 12295 Abstract International migration has been growing and diversifying in recent decades impacting both sending and receiving societies. Among migrants self-employment is a common source of income which is visible in the great number of ethnic businesses in major cities. Gentrification, tourism and place-consumption has been altering the residential and commercial landscapes of cities, not in the least ethnic neighbourhoods. Theory on migrant (or ethnic minority) business considers entrepreneurship to be shaped by the interaction between personal characteristics and well as the institutional and socio-economic context. Whereas many studies on migrant business focus on ethnic groups, this study investigates migrant businesses from various backgrounds in a particular neighbourhood. This approach sheds light on the various effects of neighbourhood change among a variety of migrant businesses. The aim of this study is to investigate the various effects of neighbourhood change on migrant businesses, the adaptive strategies employed by migrant entrepreneurs and the implications of these changes for the neighbourhood in Brixton, London. The data was collected using qualitative methods. Among the various participants neighbourhood change proves to be a challenge as well as a potential opportunity. While some business transform to more mainstream types of business, the future of many of the more traditional ethnic businesses is precarious. Keywords: Migrant entrepreneurship, mixed embeddedness, adaptive strategies, urban transformations, gentrification Introduction International migration has been growing and diversifying in recent decades impacting both sending and receiving societies.

  • Brixton Goes Into Hyperlocal S
    Brixton is fast becoming not only a place to play, but also to work. Its proximity to transport links, ready supply of young professionals and cool nightlife is attracting companies at a pace where demand is outstripping supply. Union Street Partners are actively representing 55,000 sq ft of office space across seven properties in the area and we believe we are at a critical point of opportunity for further redevelopment in the area, especially with the concept of ‘Hyperlocal’ space becoming more important in the post-Covid world. Perhaps surprisingly, the total stock of office space in the Brixton area stands at just over one million square feet but only a fraction of that is high quality, the remainder being secondhand or studio/workshop style. This report looks at the active and current occupiers, what changes are ahead for the area and our view on the impact of Covid-19.

    "So, you're from Brixton?" Towards a Social Psychology of Community Caroline Susannah Howarth Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Psychology London School of Economics and Political Science University of London December 1999 For my mother who taught me to question 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Throughout this research I have been overwhelmed by the generous support of those around me - friends, family, colleagues and students. In helping me develop and focus the ideas presented here - there are many to mention. I want to thank Sandra Jovchelovitch, one of my two supervisors, for both challenging and supporting me, as well as Marie-Claude Gervais for her invaluable suggestions, Ivana Markova for her perceptive insights, Sonia Livingstone for her help with the media sections, Roger Silverstone for his enthusiasm for 'community', Willem Doise for his useful comments on identity theories, Peter Loizos for his practical advice, Steve Bennett for his valued technical support, Vanessa Cragoe for her meticulous proof reading, Bradley Franks for his constructive criticism, the PhD community in my department for lively debates, the students I taught for asking difficult questions and, importantly, Gerard Duveen, without whom I would not have started, or completed, this thesis. Anyone familiar with the work of Rob Farr will see the influence of his supervision in my research. It was a great honour, and a constant source of inspiration, to be taught by one of the central figures of a truly social approach to social psychology. On a practical note, I am grateful to the London School of Economics and Political Science for a teaching assistantship (1996-1997), and to the Economic and Social Research Council for a research studentship (1997-1999).
