Open Days 24 and 25 November - Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea (VNEB) opportunity area
Have your say about London’s largest area of central riverside redevelopment
Local residents and businesses are invited to have their say about the most innovative area of riverside redevelopment in London. Two open days on November 24 and 25 will focus on the Vauxhall Nine Elms and Battersea (VNEB) redevelopments, providing residents and businesses with a great opportunity to speak with key decision makers and to discuss how they would like to see their local
area change.
The multi-million pound redevelopments that make up VNEB form one of London’s largest
regeneration programmes – second only to the Olympic site. Over the next twenty years major investment will transform the area bringing with it new businesses and jobs, public spaces, homes and leisure facilities.
This is a complex and long term project with different types of improvements taking place over a number of years. The open days on 24 and 25 November will bring the key people from each area of expertise into one location, making it as easy as possible for local people and local groups to find the information that interests them most.
These free open-to-all events will offer – amongst other things:
• the latest information about the VNEB redevelopments
• an update on the Northern line extension that will link the whole area to the tube network
• a chance to learn more about proposed improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and local public transport users
• information about planned improvements to existing streets and a new linear park
• a 3D model of the whole VNEB area
• an opportunity to discuss the proposals with the VNEB strategy board.
Cllr. Steve Reed, leader of Lambeth Council said: “This is an exciting and ambitious series of redevelopments, and the proposals will bring huge benefits for people who live and work in Lambeth – including a new tube station at Nine Elms, jobs, homes, and leisure facilities. I would strongly urge local people to visit one of these events to find out more and to have a say about the plans”.
Cllr. Ravi Govindia, leader of Wandsworth Council said: “Vauxhall Nine Elms has begun an extraordinary transformation. Hundreds of acres of underused land are being redeveloped and a brand new residential and business quarter is now taking shape.
“The process will yield thousands of badly needed new homes and jobs for local communities alongside two new Northern Line stations and London’s first linear park. If you want to find out more about these exciting changes then I recommend you put a note in your diary and come to these events.”
The VNEB open days will be held at the Market Towers building, 1 Nine Elms Lane, Vauxhall, SW8 5NQ on Thursday November 24, between 3pm and 8pm, and on Friday November 25, between 8am and 6pm.

Snow wardens wanted!
This winter Lambeth council is looking for community-minded volunteers to help clear snow and ice from local streets and help keep the borough moving during periods of bad weather.
They are looking for individuals as well as members of community groups to become Lambeth’s first ever snow wardens and make Lambeth pavements and footpaths safer for everyone.
During the winter months Lambeth's focus is on keeping public services and main transport routes running. They're continuing with their usual winter maintenance service this year, but this still means that many quieter residential roads won’t get gritted. This is why you are being offered an opportunity to get involved and make a real difference in our local area.
Lambeth will provide snow wardens all the training and tools they will need, including;
o a shovel
o hi-visibility jacket
o gloves
o grit bin
o a supply of grit.
Community groups will be provided with additional equipment which can be shared amongst members.
Training sessions will be held during the weeks beginning 10 October and 24 October 2011, with some sessions during the early evening and some during the day. The sessions will be a great opportunity to meet and mix with other snow wardens in your area.
To sign up as a volunteer or to simply find out more about the scheme please email Richard Easthope - reasthope@lambeth.gov.uk or telephone 020 7926 0524. Up to date information on the scheme can also be found at www.lambeth.gov.uk/snowwarden.
