Supporting cycling

Cycling is an important part of Lambeth Council's Climate Action Strategy.

Lambeth Climate Action Citizen's Assembly

Lambeth Council has now launched its Climate Action Hub to share ideas for reducing carbon emissions and making the whole Lambeth community more resilient.

Shop Local week

Shoppers are being urged by the government to hit the high street and support their local businesses during Shop Local Week (10-16 August). With the wealth of local shops and other businesses we have in West Norwood, Tulse Hill, Gipsy Hill and our other local shopping centres we could not agree more. And of course there's also the temporary Eat Out to Help Out scheme operating Monday to Wednesday in August.
