Neighbourhoods: Vote pop-up urinal!

Vote pop-up urinal!

If you live in the London Borough of Lambeth and you're on the electoral register, you can vote for a community project to be funded from each of three bands - £125,000, £75,000 and £50,000. Including the (presumably separate) computer and shower facilities at the Streatham Darby and Joan club.

There's information about each project and there are also face-to-face information events. Residents can vote online or by text.

As an occasional visitor to Lambeth meself I'd favour the £75,000 'pop-up urinal', although it hardly classes as a community project. Given that the proposed location is Waterloo, it has to stand a chance. However, it's up against a wet play area for children.

'What could the community do to help?' Here's a good example of several things - the well-established SE1 community site in London announces a meeting tomorrow on Employability & worklessness: what could the community do to help? The Friends & Neighbours Club in partnership with Blackfriars Settlement invites you to this discussion. Help to get a better understanding of the words employability and worklessness. Share ideas on simple and positive things that community groups could do to address them.

Grassroots social justice Occasionally you happen upon a house like this, where the tiny frontage is used for awareness-raising, communication and the creation of opportunities to get involved - leaflets to take, notices to read, petitions to sign, plants to buy, a box for donations. One person in one space quietly driving their take on democracy and human rights.
