“We call on Lambeth Council to listen to its residents and follow through on its commitments to work “in full partnership with the local community” to deliver community led housing and to put “the resources of the state at the disposal of citizens so that they can take control of both services and the places in which they live…”

“Key to our vision for mixed communities is the flagship Somerleyton road development in Central Brixton brought forward in full partnership with the local community …. The residents who live there will form a new, co-operative, community in the heart of Brixton.”

(Foreword by Councillor Matthew Bennett to Lambeth’s Housing Strategy 2017-20)
