Help shape the future of West Norwood and Streatham
The council is developing two 'masterplans' for improving areas to the south of the borough. A masterplan looks at business, shopping, entertainment, transport, housing, parks and open spaces - so it's bound to affect everyone who lives and works there.
A number of events will be taking place over the next few weeks to find out what local people think about some of the ideas for change and how we can make the most of the things people like. If you live, work or visit Streatham or West Norwood then please take some time to get involved and have your say.
Future Norwood
An important stage of public consultation for the West Norwood 'masterplan' starts on Monday 14 July.
A newsletter outlining the development options will be distributed from Monday to everyone living in the local area and will contain a questionnaire for people to complete and return. You can also complete the questionnaire online at www.lambeth.gov.uk/futurenorwood
