Lambeth Council to dump even more trucks in Norwood
Labour-controlled Lambeth Council has let Norwood down badly.
Local residents and ward councillors asked the Council to remove the dustcart depot from Vale Street by this September, as the council had promised.
The Council’s decision?
It has decided to keep the dustcarts in Norwood for at least four more years and increase the likely frequency of truck visits on Saturdays.
In 2007, Lambeth Council gained temporary planning permission to site dustcarts at the Vale Street Depot.
Labour-controlled Lambeth and the local MP said this was only a stop-gap solution. Residents and ward councillors strongly opposed having dustcarts on Vale Street at all, as we didn’t trust the council to remove them as promised.
Now, at a Planning Committee, the Council has confirmed its betrayal.
Gipsy Hill councillor Andrew Gibson says: “The best way to get rid of the dustcarts from our residential area now is to bring about a change in control at Town Hall. We have the opportunity to do that next May at the council election. We must never forget Labour’s betrayal of Norwood.”
This is a complete betrayal of Norwood by Labour. Jowell has got a lot to answer for!
