The Dr Bike crew are setting up in Streatham this week, with their team of professional mechanics working on the corner of Leigham Ave and Leigham Court Road on Saturday, 25th November.

They’ll be onsite, spannered up and ready to crank some axles from noon to 3pm.

If your bike needs help, just turn up and the Dr Bike team will be happy to attend to errant gear shifts, wobbly handlebars, broken brakes and more, and the service is absolutely free of charge.

Brixton Library in Windrush Square will need to close for around two months, from 20 November until 30 January next year, so major work can be undertaken. The council has arranged for a temporary library to run at Brixton Recreation Centre in nearby Brixton Station Road to minimise the impact on local people.

The new Streatham Wells low traffic neighbourhood has widespread support among the public, according to a group of local residents who say their lives are being transformed by a huge reduction in road traffic.

The group of supportive locals claim they are “the silent majority” in support of the low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) and say they boycotted a recent residents meeting because it was biased against the LTN.
