“We note this week’s comments from the Mayor of London that suggest the Labour bosses at Lambeth Council may, at long last, take stock of the impact of the trial Streatham Wells LTN.

However, as I and my fellow Liberal Democrat councillors have repeatedly called for, any changes to the current arrangements must be informed by credible data and publicly available expert analysis.

Streatham MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy has publicly tested for HIV to encourage local residents to follow her lead and get tested for the virus during National HIV Testing Week, which takes place until Sunday (11 February).

Bell tested herself for HIV using a self-test, which is free, easy and provides a result within just 15 minutes and shows how quick and easy testing for HIV now is.

As of 2021, Lambeth had the highest HIV prevalence rate among all upper tier local authorities (UTLAs) and unitary authorities (UAs).

Road restrictions are slowing down deliveries & 50 + parcels need to go out per day to people in crisis from the foodbank based in St Margaret’s Church Barcombe Ave. SW2 3BH, Streatham.

Anyone who can do even 2/3 deliveries today or Friday would be great help.

Standstill struck Streatham again last night after fresh roadworks surfaced on the boundary roads of a new Low-Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN).

Temporary traffic lights were installed at the junction of Streatham High Road, Stanthorpe Road, and the A214, to allow roadworks by SGN.

The challenges to travel presented by these roadworks is yet another barrier to residents who have faced a series of major disruptions on their roads in recent weeks.
