Barons Court Library Wall Display

Nice to see the photos from this blogs online presentation turned into a wall a display in Barons Court Library. The pictures show the original prefab building and the library being built in the 1960's, with some internal shots. The Library is due to close on March 31st. It will replaced by a 'community hub,' with some library facilities. The pictures were mostly sourced from H&F's local history archive.

Building Work at Pelham House

Good to see that the work to to install the new door ramps at Pelham House has started. Hopefully the work will be finished by the end of the month. The new ramps are an issue LETRA has campaigned for and with the support of local Councillors, succeeded in getting installed.
If there are other problems on the Lytton Estate, you feel need attention, please get in touch with us. Our next Open meeting is on Tuesday 22nd February, 7pm, at the Residents Hall. 

Politics Show, BBC1 12pm Sunday

The Politics Show on Sunday, 12pm BBC1, will be interesting. Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh, H&F's Tory leader and Cllr Stephen Cowan, Labour leader of the opposition, are due to appear. 
This should make for an lively debate. Especially so, as H&F's Cabinet will meet this Monday, 7pm, Hammersmith Town Hall. They will, controversially, vote on the sell-off of several community buildings in the borough. Before the meeting, there will be a rally by opponents of the sell-off , starting at 6pm, outside the Town Hall building.
