News on Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood

Hi everyone,

Thanks to you all for contributing to the project so far. We’ve now started getting out and about attending events in the area and beyond and here’s a flavour of what we’ve been up to:

St Matthew’s Road street party Saturday 13th July

A fantastic community day on St Matthew’s road with the street closed to motor vehicles for a day of festivities. The Brixton LN team were on hand to listen to the views of local residents about the local area and how it could be made better for walking and cycling and more liveable generally.

Some great ideas about how the road could be re-invented!

Zero Emissions Deliveries site visit

We took local business stakeholders up to see the Waltham Forest ZED project. This project uses cycles and electric vehicles to make last mile deliveries across the area, reducing the need for vans and trucks on local roads and helping to reduce air pollution.

Could something like this work in Brixton?

Leaf Tenants and Residents Association

We presented the project at the Leaf TRA and listened to the concerns of local residents about traffic and safety on local roads. We’ll be going back in the Autumn to hold a workshop on changes that could make local streets safer and more attractive.

Family Walk next week

Join us on the 25th of July for a family walk around Brixton. This will be a great opportunity to get the views of parents / carers with young children on how to make our streets feel more safe and welcoming. Contact info@healthylivingplatform.org and see the event flyer here . Let us know if you're coming if you can, or see you there.

That's all for now. If you would like us to attend an event you are organising then please let us know by contacting us at the email address below. Looking forward to hearing more of your ideas for the project!
