Stockwell Park 'Fun Day' - Saturday, 14th July 2012


Community Trust Housing, landlords of Stockwell Park and Robsart Estates, held their annual residents 'Fun Day' in Slade Gardens, Robsart Street, SW9 on Saturday 14th July 2012. Despite the erratic weather and rain, a large number of residents enjoyed themselves with a variety of activities from football matches, circus rides and clowns, information stalls and lots of delicious food!  Community Trust Housing used the day to consult residents on their plans for the next phase of the regeneration of the estates, including demolishing and rebuilding a taller Wayland House. 

Local Ferndale Councillors Paul McGlone, Sally Prentice and Neil Sabharwal had a "Meet your local Labour Councillors" stall. We were joined by fellow Labour Councillor Adrian Garden, as Slade Gardens is just inside Vassell ward which he represents. This allowed us to meet and talk with local residents about the regeneration plans, carry out a survey on residents views on local leisure facilities provided in Brixton, and pick up individual problems that we will help them with.

The cake Sally made as a prize for filling in our leisure questionnaire was won by a local resident who donated it to the Community Trust Housing staff for their Monday morning tea break!

Councillor Paul McGlone commented, "The rain did not dampen the fun people had! These events are important to generate community cohesion and I know we councillors enjoyed the day immensely."
