Please help spread the word by hanging our poster in your communal areas.


Procurement - contract awards

Over the past 18 months, residents have played a significant part in the design and specification as well as in the moderation process that led to the award of new contracts across the borough. 


Feedback on ASB policy

The Anti-social Behaviour Policy is currently in the process of being redeveloped and aligned to the policy commitments of the Social Housing White Paper. We have completed the officer engagement and are currently engaging residents to help shape the policy. This has included reviewing the policy at a resident task and finish group and circulating the policy to the Lambeth 500 group. The timeframe for final approval of the policy is July 2021.

If you have any feedback on this policy please send it to Calum Davidson cdavidson1@lambeth.gov.uk by Friday 4 June.

Brixton Chamber Orchestra

Brixton Chamber Orchestra

As summer starts and restrictions go, now’s the time to come together. A fantastic Brixton Chamber Orchestra (BCO) show is a unique way to unite a community that’s been divided too long by social distancing. Thanks to the council and other kind funders, they’ll be performing on estates across Lambeth this summer.

BCO play upbeat music to new audiences in unexpected venues. They blend Grime, Gospel, Rock, Folk, Jazz & R’n’B with classical, film and show tunes. BCO are Lambeth's community orchestra: local talent showing the creative energy and cultural diversity of our borough.

From Friday 23 July to Sunday 1 August, BCO will be taking their musical celebration to the community. There’ll be 12 family friendly, live performances at outdoor venues on estates and in parks across the borough. Look out for posters and follow them on Instagram @brixchamber, Twitter @BrixChamber or Facebook.
