There are so many articles, blogs, think pieces at the moment regarding the current state of our high streets and town centres. Who should you be listening to? In our previous blogs we have conveyed the factors affecting our places and have from our direct experience of town centre regeneration project delivery talked at length regarding the collaboration required between local authorities, businesses and consumers. We have first hand experience of this actually working and the tools required to successfully create a joined up, digitally connected town. In our next blog @jowynncarter will take you through the steps to achieve this goal. . . . . #localgov #localgovernment #loyalty #retailinspired #placemaking #localcouncils #regeneration #highstreet #towns #towncentres #instagood #instadaily #time #openingtimes #collaboration #planning #localplan #joinedup #customerexperience #customerservice #economy #shoplocal #centralgovernment #thinkdifferently #retailers #businesses #digital #digitalmarketing #websites #loveyourhighstreet (at Kent, Kent, United Kingdom)

Lambeth Council’s consultation on the Local Plan is almost at an end. If you haven’t already you can have your say right now by going to:

lambeth.gov.uk/consultations/lambeth-local-plan-review-2017

Lambeth is a great place to live, work and invest because of its location, its people, its character and assets. The existing Lambeth Local Plan, adopted in 2015, contains a strong vision for the development of the borough to improve opportunities for local people.

However, Lambeth Council need to partially update it and this updated Lambeth Local Plan, together with the Mayor of London’s London Plan and neighbourhood plans, will set out the vision and robust planning policies needed to direct and guide development in the borough over the next 15 years to meet our future needs.

As a part of updating Lambeth’s Local Plan we are consulting with residents and stakeholders – and want local residents to have your say. You can have your say right now by going to:

lambeth.gov.uk/consultations/lambeth-local-plan-review-2017

Lambeth Local Plan Review: Your chance to shape Lambeth’s future

One of the most inspiring campaigns in Redbridge is Ilford NOISE, that’s Neighbourhoods of Ilford South Engage! 

Based in and around the Ilford South end of the borough, it leads on community political organising and focuses on housing.  Housing is a mine field with enough vested interests to cloth the entire Himalaya region. 

I used to live in Ilford South when I was small, and have family and friends there. The map is interesting, and its the kind of place that puts up Asian UKIP candidates and would make an interesting case study for white flight.

Ilford NOISE are holding a public meeting to discuss issues around the Redbridge Local Plan and to introduce the idea of neighbourhood planning on Wednesday 23rd August 2017, from 7.30-9.30pm in the Gloucester Room at Ilford Central Library. All are welcome but please do drop them a line or email so they can plan for numbers.

The Redbridge Local Plan as it stands aims to dump a large amount (10 000+ units) of largely unaffordable housing onto this the densest and most socioeconomically marginalised part of the borough over the next 10 years or so. Its generally easier to run over the politically marginalised with concrete, they do not have the same NIMBY power as the wealthier and leafier folks, which is a shame.

The ambition, justice and social ecology of the Corbyn-led opposition’s housing politics aren’t exactly reflected in the local government thinking yet so I’m looking forward to to the learning process.
