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."
