Kennington Fete - Sunday 7 July - 12- 4pm - Cleaver Square

Diamond Jubilee weekend in Prince's ward

The weather could certainly have been better, but that didn't prevent people in our area enjoying the Diamond Jubilee weekend. On an occasion like this it reminds us how lucky we are to live in the centre of the world's greatest city. Here are some photos from this weekend:

On Sunday the Albert Embankment was packed with people watching the River Pageant

The Queen is just about visible in white!

The offices and hotel windows were full of spectators.

£1000 for Broadgates Court after contractor disturbs residents' Sunday

Following complaint from residents, Councillor Steve Morgan has secured £1000 from Lambeth Living contractor Mears, for carrying out work to an empty flat on a Sunday.

Faced with legal action and a possible fine Mears decided to donate £1000 to the local residents' association for disturbing so many people.

If you notice anyone carrying out noisy work in the evening or on a Sunday than call the noise team on 020 7926 6111 - you never know what the result might be!

Kennington fete

Sunday saw another highly successful Kennington fete, organised by the Kennington Association and opened by Kate Hoey MP.

Prince's councillor Stephen Morgan went along and spoke to residents about issues of concern, including the Northern line extension, St Anselm's Church's planning application, the Council's plans to sell the Shelley site, and 'free school' proposals for the area.

Delay to Cleaver Street Cycle Hire remedial works

The new cycle hire site in Cleaver Square will be in place on the 31 March. However, current resourcing issues at Transport for London mean that the extensive remedial works at Cleaver Street which include re-paving the area, will need to be completed in the two weeks following the installation of the docking station.

Residents shouldn't worry that the work won't be completed - it will just be slightly delayed!
