There is a lot going on around the area.
Hero of Switzerland thread on this forum is about planning application opposed by many locals.
The Grove Adventure playground thread is about saving the playground from being "developed" by the Council.
The Loughborough Farm and the Platform are ongoing projects run by LJAG.
In future the long term security of small businesses in the arches is gaurenteed. I know one thats gone and another waiting to see about new lease. They will then decide to stay or move somewhere cheaper.
LJAG ( I'm no in it) is important local group.

It was open this morning, giving away Free Coffee.
It is confusing. St Catherines was an Iron Church on Gresham Road demolished to make way for the Fire Station. It was under the umbrella of St John's the Evangelist. I have never been able to source a photograph. Lambeth archives don't have any info at all that I could find. I do have a yearbook of parish magazines from 1892 which features monthly 4 page newsletters bound into back of general Anglican stuff. It mostly served the Loughborough Park area. Records are held by Southwark diocese though Lambeth palace archives also have some information listed. Not been to either archives yet. There was a separate outreach mission on Sussex Road, though not sure if connected to St Catherines.

That's supposed to be a leaflet for target seats - so mind what you say!Come home and first off the block are the LDs.

BTW as a fluctuating member of the hearing impaired community I must say Jo Swinson does everything right for us. She speaks slowly and deliberately and in contrast to those gruffly mumbling (pissed?) members her voice can shatter wine glasses at the other end of a Wetherspoons.

Year 3
The artist Steve McQueen has this project on billboards across London.
Underneath the railway bridge near Tesco's are two photos.
"From early November, Steve McQueen's epic portrait of London’s Year 3 pupils will be seen across London and at Tate Britain.
This vast new artwork is one of the most ambitious visual portraits of citizenship ever undertaken, in one of the world’s largest and most diverse cities.
Last year Steve McQueen, together with Tate, Artangel and A New Direction, invited every Year 3 class in London to be photographed. Through the vehicle of the traditional school class photograph, Year 3 show tens of thousands of schoolchildren at a milestone year in their development. All aged between 7 and 8 years old, they stand smiling at the camera, facing the future. "

I went to see the exhibition but it didn't do much for me at all!

There is a meeting at 7pm Wed 11th December 2019 at the Loughborough Community Hall across the Road from Woolley House. This is for Loughborough Estate Residents to vote for whether they want the LEMB to continue running the estate or whether Lambeth Council should take it back.

Angellic was asking me on last month's Brixton thread whether it was accurate to say
Is it true that Brixton/ Loughborough Junction has a 'largely Black population'?
I havent been able to get around to using the website Jimbeau put up
Detailed Ethnicity by Age & Sex Ward Tools (2011 Census) – London Datastore
It depends on how one breaks down areas.
in relation to LJ. This website uses the same Census 2011 figures as the gov.uk site. Applies it to local neighbourhoods.
This one covers my nearest patch Loughborough Estate.
In this case it does have a largely Black population.
Interesting Information for Loughborough Estate, London, SW9 7SJ Postcode
I'd say that race and class overlap in this area.
From the website:
These two websites use 2011 census data. I've been told in Coldharbour Ward things have changed a bit since then. At time of the EU referendum Coldharbour Ward was in the top ten percent of deprived wards in the country. Now its changed to being in the top twenty percent.
This is possibly due to new private housing in the area / sell off and refurbishment of ex council property for private sale. That is the partial gentrification of area.
Charities who give grants - ie for the adventure playground- want information on how grant is spent based on very local areas. In London that means on what are called "super output areas". Which could be just a few streets. These are streets of high deprivation within a larger area that might appear average taken in a larger boundary.

As the website says we all live next to each other. Which isn't always the case outside urban areas.

Surprisingly some of the most imposing houses in the Loughborough triangle - Loughborough Park/Morlands Road/Coldharbour Lane have a largely black population. Mainly because they were handed over to Metroplolitan and other housing associations such as Ujima and Black Roof back in the 1980s. Those which were direct council tenancies have gone the way of all flesh and suffered right-to-buy, at great profit to their white occupants.
