In reaction to this gathering, the great Chartist rally of 10th April 1848, the common was forcibly enclosed and the Victorian Park was built to occupy the site. History is not objective truth. It is a selection of some facts from a mass of evidences to construct a particular view, which inevitably, reflects the ideas of the historian and their social milieu. The history most of us learnt in school left out the stories of most of the people who lived and made that history. If the design of the Victorian park means anything it is a negation of such a people’s history: an enforced amnesia of what the real Kennington Common, looking South, in 1839.

As a cooperative council, we wanted to give local people more involvement in and control of the places where they live. Consequently, the draft SPD taken out to consultation was the result of a co- drafting process, further detail of which is in the Consultation Statement that accompanied the draft SPD (available to view online at www.futurebrixton.org). Engagement objectives 1. To engage community and business organisations in order to coproduce the draft SPD and consultation on it. 2. To agree on shared principles that will determine what type of development we want to see in the area. 3. To proactively consult with the whole community on the draft SPD 4. To facilitate a partnership approach to the regeneration of Brixton The development of the SPD has complied with Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2012 and with the additional recommendations set out in Lambeth’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) adopted in April 2008, and our cooperative ethos to ensure that the SPD is a reflection of the community’s aspirations for the area.
