Open Space and Vauxhall developments
Comments from the Chair of Friends of Spring Gardens:
"Although Spring Gardens is being invested in, it is in practice too far from the new developments in Vauxhall for any of the activities described above."
Just to set the record straight, Spring Gardens is struggling to gain investment of any sort and heavily dependant on 106 monies to advance it's Framework Plan
which only moves slowly and with very small amounts of finance directed to us by Lambeth Council.
Our park is quite literally a one and a half minute walk from Vauxhall Park and in the shadow of some of the tallest buildings in The Vauxhall / Nine Elms proposals
and what Ghislaine (see earlier post from the Oval Partnership) hasn't stated is that these proposals go all the way up to Lambeth Bridge, with Vauxhall City Farm acting as the boundary, which places Spring Gardens slap in the middle of developments between Vauxhall and Lambeth Bridges.
I agree whole heartedly that we all need to fight for more parks and public open spaces in these plans, and our Framework Plan has taken this into account since it's inception five years ago.
We have proposed that the Albert Embankment be reduced to a two lane road (in parts it is eight lanes wide !!) and that the land gained should be incorporated into Spring Gardens on the river side of the park. This would significantly increase our open green space on the embankment side of the Vauxhall Cross Gyratory System.
Indeed the Vauxhall Cross Gyratory System needs to be looked at seriously in these plans and abolished if possible to be replaced by a pedestrian/cycle friendly system that will 'green' the area
and make all our parks more accessible and if possible linked up with 'green' corridors that will encourage better use of parks and less traffic.
Thank you Ghislaine for bringing this issue to the attention of KOV members I support you 100% but please press for improvements for all our parks which
are affected by the Vauxhall/Nine Elms proposal.

Octave Building, Planning Committee 24 March 2010
Andrea from Viva Vauxhall has rung Democratic Services to request to speak at the planning meeting for the Octave on 24 March, and was told that everybody who requested to speak at the meeting will be allowed to do so.
They also said that the position on the agenda depended on how many people had requested to speak, so the more people do, the further The Octave moves up the agenda.
This is the number to ring if you wish to speak: 020 7926 2183; quick and easy, no fuss (only an out-of office reply to my e-mail so far).
You don't have to say much, just one sentence will do - and you can still make a real difference!

Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall Forum
Hello and welcome to Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall Forum's blog. We're proud to have amongst our members the Kennington Association, Riverside Community Development Trust, Friends of Spring Gardens, Friends of Kennington Park, Friends of Durning Library and many more local groups in the SE11 SW8 area. Individuals and local businesses are welcome to join too.
We're now independent of Lambeth Council (although we have some funding from their Active Communities Unit for running costs). Our members believe we can achieve far more by working together than we can working separately. We'd like even more local community groups and individuals to join us. Currently we're drafting a response to Lambeth's draft Core Strategy of the Local Development Framework and we want your views before we finalise it. It will be posted within the next couple of days.
We're next holding a public meeting for everyone on 9 June at Centenary Hall, Cottington St SE11 4RZ - 6.30 for 7.00 pm and hope you'll join in. We'll be considering the draft Core Strategy - what happens next - and also we hear there's a alcohol free zone being proposed for the Vauxhall area - we want to find out more about that too. To receive papers for the meeting, contact info@kovforum.org.uk . See you there!
