NEW GARDENS




New Garden Areas at Pelham House?


We have applied for a grant under the HEIP (Housing Estate Improvement Programme) for the two fenced areas behind Pelham House to be transformed . They are covered in an unsightly mix of moss and asphalt (see above). Being situated by the entrance doors to the block residents have complained that daily they have to pass these ugly spaces. If we are successful the areas will be replaced with attractive gardens. Groundwork, the environmental charity, will undertake the work. They will ask resident to take part in the design and running of the project. So if you are interested get in touch with LETRA.


Crescent Club Closure


The Crescent Night Club has closed. This is welcome news for all residents. We at LETRA campaigned against it becoming a Lap dancing club or it gaining a 5am license. Instead of being an entertainment venue, it had become a gathering place for serious street violence. Lets hope any new venture takes into account that the building is situated in a residential area.

Pelham House Play Area Design




The new Pelham House play area design is now available for us all to view (see below).

Congratulations to Groundwork for the work they have done.

They have also provided us with a feedback report from the consultation that took place in the gardens on 21st November .

You will need acrobat reader installed on you computer to view the plan. Once you have downloaded the document, just zoom up to 200% and scroll around to see the great job they have come up with.

Please tell us what you think of the plan!

Lewis Trust Plans

I have managed to find a link to the proposed plans for the redevelopment of the Lewis Trust Estate. The drawings are on the council website and are very detailed, but to be frank, a bit heavy going for the average reader. I have asked Southern Housing (the estate manager) for a concise version on one PDF.
