  • 03K Appendix H
    Our vision for Loughborough Junction Our ultimate aim for Loughborough Junction is for it to become a destination in its own right; to be a place that is safe and pleasant for people to spend time in. At the moment Loughborough Junction is dominated by traffic – Loughborough Road sees an incredible 13,000 vehicles pass through on a typical weekday. In keeping with our priorities for the borough as a whole, we want to transform the area with open public spaces, safer conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, environmental improvements and a greater mix of retail outlets. This will make Loughborough Junction a place where people want to ‘be’, rather than just travel through. The police have lent their support to the scheme, pointing out that less through traffic on roads improves safety for residents, children and cyclists, with road closures also likely to reduce crime as back streets are usually used as escapes routes by criminals. We also want the new Loughborough Junction to be an area where businesses will thrive. There is huge potential for more shops and restaurants and I believe that trade can increase as the area becomes a more popular destination rather than a transport thoroughfare. Our transport officers – who have an excellent track record in delivering similar, award winning schemes - believe that closing certain roads in the area to traffic will help to achieve these aims; this is why we are proposing experimental closures as part of the on-going consultation for Loughborough Junction. The formal consultation will begin when the road closures come into force so that people will be able to give their views based on their actual experience and our officers will be able to monitor traffic flows in nearby areas and the impact on the wider road system.

Everyone is welcome to the park, to discover its history, wildlife, trees and plants, to exercise and play. Myatt’s Fields Park should be an urban park of the highest quality which preserves its historic character while providing a safe, peaceful and varied environment for relaxation and recreation, and enhancing the wellbeing of all sections of the community Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park” 2 Myatt’s Fields Park Management Plan 2016 - 2021 Foreword In Lambeth we have over 60 parks, commons, cemeteries and other open spaces, which enrich all of our lives and make Lambeth a better place to live, visit, and work. From major and local events, casual and competitive sports, reflection and contemplation, through to outdoor play spaces for children, we know that parks and open spaces are necessities in the modern world. Lambeth’s open spaces have experienced a renaissance in recent years, and we have seen our many active parks groups rise to become champions for green spaces, including exploring new models in how to manage and maintain them. We now have 16 Green Flag Award winning parks and cemeteries, the highest number we’ve ever had, and the latest Residents Survey revealed 76% of local people judged Lambeth’s parks and open spaces to be good or excellent.

  • Streetscape Is About Growing Lives
    Streetscape is about growing lives Streetscape is an award-winning social enterprise. We provide apprenticeships in landscape gardening to 18-25 year olds who are long- term unemployed, helping them to build the skills, experience and attributes they need to move into and retain work: growing lives, transforming landscapes. In so doing we design, landscape and maintain gardens across South London for clients looking for that ‘wow factor’: the best possible use of shape and form. We are based in Myatt’s Fields Park, LB Lambeth. Our social value in 2012-13: Apprenticeships All of our apprentices are young people who have been out of work for a minimum of six months. However, most have never worked and many have been previously in trouble with the law. During a year’s intensive training, apprenticed 2:1 to one of our experienced landscapers, our apprentices obtain a Level 2 Diploma in Horticulture, a year’s on-the-job experience in both soft and hard landscaping, at least one horticultural licence and they learn to drive. As a result, they leave us work-ready. In 2012-13: - Jerone (23) and Jordan (22), our first apprentices who completed their apprenticeships in July 2012, remain in work (August 2013) with Pinnacle PSG and Mears respectively. Neither had worked before Streetscape; one had previous convictions. - We expanded in July 2012 and now work with four apprentices at any one time. Alan and David graduated in July 2013 with their Level 2 Diplomas and are now in work (August 2013) with Pinnacle PSG and Vista Landscapes respectively.
