Lambeth Made Community meetings launch in Stockwell ward

Dear Resident

I’m writing to invite you to a meeting in Stockwell ward on Thursday 26 November, which will be a new opportunity to discuss community resilience and safety in your area

The Lambeth Made Community meeting will be held online from 6pm to 7.30pm and is a chance to discuss issues affecting Stockwell ward. You can join the meeting by clicking here .

Councillors and officers of the council will attend the meeting, alongside community and voluntary organisations, but the focus will be on listening to residents and their concerns.

This website is also a place where you can tell us about specific concerns within your ward. You can use the map to identify issues that you want to flag up to us.

The meeting is the first in a series that have been established in support of the borough-wide public health approach to tackling serious youth violence – Lambeth Made Safer. Community involvement in Lambeth Made Safer is essential. The new meetings will help meet that important aim, as well as give residents, organisations and councillors the chance to discuss other local concerns.

As Lambeth Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs, Skills and Community Safety, I lead the council’s work with the community, the police, our partners and the Mayor of London to combat crime in Lambeth.

I passionately believe in the strength of our communities and the value of the local bonds that tie our neighbourhoods together. The goodwill, dedication and passion people in Lambeth have shown in stepping up and supporting local communities during the Covid-19 crisis has been incredible.

We now need to build on that community spirit. We know that dealing with big social issues can be daunting, whether that be structural discrimination, economic disadvantage or tackling serious youth violence.
