Thursday evening saw Railton Road host an impromptu visit from the Blackheath Morris Dancing troop.

Lambeth are about to install bollards here, so enjoy the activities while they can still happen.

For over 10 years now this council house at the end of Railton Road has been vacant. It has fallen into disrepair. It could have provided housing for a family. It will now cost a great deal of taxpayers money to bring back into use.

£350,000 and rising. That's all the council tax income from all the houses in Rymer Street and Hurst Street wasted due to inaction by Lambeth.

Why?

Local residents have been campaigning to get something done about it.
