Tell us what you think of Lambeth's draft Housing Strategy 2012 - 2016
We are working on a new housing strategy for Lambeth and we would like you to help us shape it. This is so that Lambeth homes meet your needs and aspirations.
Following on from the recent Lambeth Housing Commission we believe the time is right to rethink our approach to housing and to ensure that we do this in cooperation with you.
We are committed to have a strategy based on a shared set of priorities from our residents and housing partners and, in line with Lambeth's ambition to become the first Cooperative Council, we have taken a new approach to developing the housing strategy: co-production.
A range of co-production activities took place between November 2011 and May 2012 involving individuals and organisations with an interest in any aspect of housing in Lambeth. We would like to thank all those who took the time to attend workshops, post comments online and fill out postcards and surveys.
We welcome your comments on Lambeth's draft Housing Strategy 2012-16, which has been developed in partnership with residents, housing partners and other stakeholders through the co-production activities. You can read the draft Strategy by downloading the following document:
The draft Housing Strategy sets out our shared objectives and a series of priorities and proposals under three key themes:
- Place: The role housing plays in making Lambeth a great place to live, work and visit.
- Property: The importance of good quality homes.
- People: The role housing plays in improving the lives of those who live in it.
At the core of the strategy is an action plan for delivery, which sets a clear strategic direction for the council and its partners in addressing housing and related support needs for the four year period to 2016.
Lambeth's draft Housing Strategy, and the action plan in particular, is still very much a work in progress and will be revised further in the light of comments received.
Comments should be submitted by 12 noon Wednesday 6 June 2012:
