Hello,
This week our council, residents and communities across the borough are deeply shocked at the revelations from The Angiolini Inquiry, which looked into how a Metropolitan police officer was able to commit the horrific kidnapping and murder of Sarah Everard.
I attended a briefing with Leaders across London and was appalled with the findings that this man should not have been employed as a police officer, the power and position of which he used to aid his attack in March 2021. Many red flags were missed, and this only adds to the pain for Sarah’s family.
We will always remember and honour Sarah Everard, and we continue to call on the Met Police and Government to finally bring an end to the culture that threatens the safety of women and others across our city.

 Lambeth Council has been awarded for its commitment to healthy and sustainable food initiatives, in a new report called ‘Good Food Local: The London Report’ published yesterday by Sustain. The report measured the council’s approach to food within the borough and showed we demonstrated strong leadership in areas such as our response to the cost-of-living crisis, children’s food, healthier food environments and food growing.

 At a Lambeth Youth Forum session held in Brixton at St Gabriel’s college earlier this month, thirty students joined a creative workshop as part of ongoing efforts to boost young people’s self-esteem, mental health, and safety. The forums are held quarterly for young people in Lambeth to share their experience of violence in the borough in a way that lets them express themselves. This initiative is part of the Lambeth Made Safer 10-year plan of coordinated work to prevent violence in the borough.

 In January, pupils from Hill Mead Primary School took part in Goldsmiths University’s “Park life” project to carry out their own research on how to improve Brockwell Park, as well as suggesting ways Lambeth Council could boost climate and sustainability measures at the park. Following this the council will adopt some of the measures around flood prevention and introducing more drainage as part of the Soak Up Lambeth programme.

 Lambeth is considering tighter controls over large house shares in parts of the borough after residents raised concerns over their impact on the Streatham Common & Vale and Streatham St Leonard’s area. The council is proposing to implement a new planning mechanism, which would make planning permission necessary for the change of use of existing standard residential properties to new Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
