Residents will be able to pay their respects to the nation’s war dead at a series of events arranged by Lambeth Council across the borough on Remembrance Sunday, 14 November 2021.

Lambeth Council is now seeking the views of residents on the locations for polling stations in the borough as well as on on the boundaries of polling districts. This review is as a result of the changes made to ward boundaries by the Local Government Boundary Commission; Lambeth’s electoral wards increased from 21 to 25. Locally, there are now four wards instead of three. The formal consultation went live on 29 October and closes for comments on 30 November 2021. 

Operations are now underway on the next phase of the drains/kerbs/path works at Lower Road, Narrow Road and Reddins Hill. An access route for motorists from the main entrance to the Rose Garden and Greek Cemetery (the north east corner of the Cemetery) is being maintained, and pedestrians will need to also follow the signposted route, or possibly find a more direct route by walking carefully through the graves and monuments north of Lower Road.

It is good to see the progress made since the summer with the drainage and path works in West Norwood Cemetery. These civil engineering works are the initial works on the ground under the Heritage Lottery Fund programme (see our previous story here), along with some restoration of protected monuments (see below).

The local remnants of the Great North Wood are excellent places for an autumnal ramble or volunteering to help preserve our natural environment.

Its great to see that it is now no longer necessary to make appointments to go to the Library to borrow books or study. However, please do continue to wear masks if you are able, follow social distancing measures and use the hand sanitiser.
