Monthly Councillor Surgery

Visited the monthly councillor surgery at Barons Court library.  I spoke to councillor Robert Iggulden, he informed me there had been changes at H&F Homes, with some senior management being removed. As far as the decent Homes project is concerned the new person to contact is Christine Gausden.

He also told me, that he was still trying to arrange a personnel inspection, with the Decent Homes management, to the roof of Pelham House; to judge the extent of works required there. This is necessary, as we believe a full refurbishment of the roof is required, due to the persistent problems caused with the roof, for residents in the building.

If you have any community or personnel issues, you feel need raising, the surgery is held every first Saturday of the month, for an hour, from 10 am and is well worth a visit.

Eligibility for the scheme 

Kensington Post Office Closure Threat

The main post office in Kensington High Street is under threat of closure. Developers have put in a planning application for luxury flats. Apparently, they claim the office is, 'surplus to requirements,' for the Royal Mail.

The loss of the main post office in West Kensington was a serious handicap to all residents. This is now the closest large post office to the Lytton Estate and its closure  would be would be another blow to local people, particularly our elderly ones. Its shutting down would put  huge pressures on the excellent new sub-branch at Olympia News, 10 North End Rd. It can not compare in size or all the services that the Kensington office provides. 

There is already a campaign in Kensington  (see link below).  If you are worried by this proposal please feel free to contact your local MP or councilor.

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!
