Lambeth Council has completed improvement works at two playgrounds in the borough, with upgrades delivered at both Norwood Park in West Norwood and Max Roach Park in Brixton as part of its wider programme of investment in parks and green spaces.

We last reported in March 2025 on progress with the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) project at West Norwood Cemetery and on other issues. The objectives of the NHLF project were to conserve the Cemetery’s magnificent landscape and built structures, as well as offer new experiences and facilities to increase community use. Following a meeting of the cemetery Strategic Partnership Board (SPB) on 8 October 2025 we can now provide an update on the project and other issues.

04.12.25 Update
We are pleased to report that with the completion of the resurfacing works, Knight's Hill was reopened this morning. Buses through West Norwood town centre are running as normal in both directions. 

 ​All Lambeth secondary schools have now been rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, giving families confidence as they make their Secondary School choices ahead of the 31 October deadline.
