New hurdle for leisure & health centre

Japanese Knotweed

Japanese Knotweed

Work should be completed in the next 2 months on  the final details of the plans for the new leisure centre and  health centre for West Norwood on land  at the end of Devane Way off Knights Hill opposite West Norwood station. The new government has confirmed its support earlier this year for the funding but the Treasury has just added another step to check the project.

It is hoped that this new hurdle  will not add any significant delays so construction work can start early in 2012.  Work is already in underway to tackle the Japanese knotweed on the site as this weed can grown through concrete! (Building work will be starting on the nearby new primary school in October.)

Route to planned leisure & health centre

The planned leisure centre includes  a 25m swimming pool, dance studio and 100 station gym with a community meeting space. The health centre will have a  GP practice, clinics and dentists. There will also be a Lambeth council customer service area . For more details see:

Plans for new Julians school get green light

Gabriel House SE27 0JF to become a primary school

Gabriel House SE27 0JF to become a primary school

West Norwood’s new primary school came a step closer to reality last month when councillors on Lambeth’s  Planning Applications committee approved plans for the building in Wolfington Road.

Many residents will have seen the models and drawings for the school during extensive consultations over the past few months. The plan presented to the committee has not changed significantly and involves internal adaptations to Gabriel House, built nearly a century ago, plus a new, modern building on the back.

Two hostels owned by Lambeth Council will be demolished to make way for the school’s outdoor play area which will also extend down the tree-lined bank behind the current car park as far as Devane Way.

The vast majority of residents who commented on the plans support the scheme . Some people raised concerns about parking & traffic problems in Wolfington Road and the proposed loss of  the footpath from Wolfington Road to Devane Way .

Cllr Pickard  put these concerns to the committee and it was agreed to carry out a detailed assessment of usage of the footpath and amend the planning permission if necessary. It was also  agreed to include traffic calming near the school entrance..

The new two-form entry school building, to be managed by Julian’s School, is due to open in 2012, Building work is  due to start this summer.

Children will join the new school from this September – in temporary classrooms on the Julian’s site.

For details see item 13 on agenda of  Lambeth Planning Committee 24th May 2011: http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=600&MId=7595

Latest consultation on Norwood Hall project

Norwood Hall Project SketchTo see  the latest plans for the  swimming pool  just drop in to West Norwood Library on Thursday 10 December 10am to 8pm  or Saturday 12 December 10am to 4pm .

For more details of the project see the council’s Future Norwood web pages.

Local people often say West Norwood is a neglected part of Lambeth. For the last two years , with the support of hundreds of local people, Tessa Jowell and local councillor Jackie Meldrum  have been campaigning for a community swimming pool for  the area. A new leisure health and customer centre will provide great local services and give the West Norwood local economy a real boost.
