By Tim Part Dispute between developer and council threatens to squeeze historic club out of the game On an average weekday morning at London Bridge or Victoria stations, you will spot a good number of pink-and-dark-blue striped scarves wrapped around the neck of cold commuters. A pair of dark Perspex-rimmed glasses may perch on the scarf-wearer’s nose as, a few feet below, denim turn-ups rub lightly against tan brogues. The uninitiated may mistake the scarves for a Jack Wills number, but they would be wrong. They are the colours of Dulwich Hamlet, established in 1893, Lambeth’s nearest team.

Diverse, passionate, reforming: new faces on the council Born in Eritrea, forrmer nursery nurse Mohamed Jaser, one of three new Stockwell Labour councillors, says that as an Arabic speaker, he can help give voice and freedom to refugee women. He is on ‘a mission to change’ a historic lack of political involvement in his community. His young Somali ward colleague Mahamed Hashi, who sits on a dozen policing and crime committees and is co-founder of Brixton Soup Kitchen, agrees. ‘If you’re a community that votes, people take you a lot more seriously’, he says. While May’s election may have tipped the balance of power only very slightly, it has brought some passionate new blood and a different dynamic to the Town Hall.>> PAGE 5

After another huge landslide, Lambeth Labour gets to work •Fourth term for an administration is a Lambeth first •No complacency, says Lib Peck •Manifesto promises on private renters, youth violence and mental health to be implemented Lambeth Council leader Lib Peck has hailed Labour’s 57 seat local election victory with a 5% swing towards Labour as a “historic achievement” and rebuffed accusations of complacency as she sets out her administration’s priorities. Declaring her pride at being leader of an administration that managed to increase its share of the vote, she denied that the result was a given to her and her colleagues. No previous administration in Lambeth’s history has won a fourth term in succession. She paid tribute to the diversity of the Labour Group, which includes Lambeth’s first Somali and Eritrean councillors. In a speech to councillors at Annual Council Meeting on 23rd May, she praised how engaged Lambeth voters are and their strong sense of community. “There’s a real pride living in Brixton… living in Streatham… living in Vauxhall,” she said. “We need to maintain a distinctive character and identity”. Cllr Peck is making an immediate start on implementing manifesto promises, picking out as priorities
improving standards and security for private renters; creating 1500 apprenticeships; and increasing the council’s support for communityled and schools-based mental health initiatives. On youth violence - of which Lambeth has experienced the highest volume of serious crimes over a ten-year period of any London borough - Lambeth’s Cabinet approved a programme before the election campaign built around a community-led, public health approach focused on long term prevention. Local plans tailored to each estate will be developed, and the council is increasing the Community Infrastructure Levy on developers, ring-fenced to invest in youth and children’s services. Earlier in the day, the council leader had named a new Cabinet. Cllr Jack Hopkins, who held the Business, Regeneration and Culture brief from 2014-17 returns as Deputy Leader for Jobs, Skills and Performance. Cllr Paul Gadsby has responsibility for Housing, Cllr Andy Wilson is Cabinet Member for
Finance and Cllr Claire Holland Cabinet Member for Environment and Clean Air. Cllr Jacqui Dyer and Cllr Ed Davie are Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Social Care on a job share. Reappointed for another term are Cllr Jennifer Brathwaite (now
Deputy Leader for Children and Young People), Cllr Jim Dickson and Cllr Mohammed Seedat (Voluntary Sector, Partnerships & Community Safety on a job share), Cllr Matthew Bennett (Planning, Investment and New Homes) and Cllr Sonia Winifred (Culture and Equalities). >> PAGE 4
