Better and fairer Lambeth directory

Our Investment Programme into three cemeteries in the borough responds to the need to maintain historic fabric and provide high quality burial areas for Lambeth residents and the bereaved.

We're working with the local community to improve Hillside Gardens Park in Streatham Hill, a popular park and recreation ground used by many residents in the area.

Lambeth were proud to be the hosts for the launch of the new Open Digital Planning (ODP) project which combines the previously named RIPA (Reducing Invalid Planning Applications) and BOPS (Back Office Planning System) in December 2022 at the Royal Festival Hall. ODP is a collaborative project aimed at making it quicker and easier to make and process planning applications. Lambeth is a pioneer council at the vanguard of the Digital Planning revolution. We have been collaboratively leading this project since 2019.

We're making improvements at the junction Kempshott Road and Buckleigh Road to make the road safer for pedestrians.

This project revitalised the playground with timber play equipment, connected pathways, seating area and is designed for toddlers through to more challenging pieces for older children.

Following public consultation on a draft of the Streatham Investment and Growth Strategy in 2019, the council has now formally adopted an updated version of the strategy for the period 2019 to 2030.
