Resident Engagement

We’d like to start a resident engagement panel (REP) for Fenwick Estate. REPs are an important part of how HfL would like to engage with you and all  those included in the changes at Fenwick Estate. Each REP is different depending on the estate, its issues and opportunities.

So, why not become a REP member? For more information contact Carole on 07514 952678 or carole@homesforlambeth.co.uk

Development Update

Our online consultation event for the new homes at Fenwick Place took place on the 24 and 25 April. If you missed them, you can catch up on www.fenwickplace.site/watch_the_past_livestreams. Your feedback would be welcome!

The planning application proposes 27 new homes, including 50% affordable, and is to be submitted in July 2020. As part of the planning determination period, the Council’s planning department will also be consulting with you and local stakeholders.

The Masterplan design and consultation process is to commence later this year.

Your Homes For Lambeth

Hello,

My name is Eamonn Lorimer. I’ve just joined Homes for Lambeth as Social Investment Programme Co-ordinator (employability, apprenticeships, skills & training).

My main responsibility is to develop and ensure that Lambeth residents and  particularly  those of you living on an estate which is being re-built like here, have apprenticeship, job and training opportunities resulting from our work and plans.

Professionally, I have worked in Lambeth for the last two and half years on employability matters including apprenticeships, work experience and most recently helping Lambeth Residents benefit from construction industry opportunities. And personally, I am the Chair of my Local Residents Association (RA) and appreciate how important it is for resident’s views to be heard by their Local Authorities.

I am passionate about making a positive difference in people’s lives. I’m looking forward to developing partnerships where contractors, HfL and Residents work together for the benefit of the community and each other.

Oh and when I’m not working and chairing my local RA, I am a DJ playing on two internet radio stations.

If you interested in any forthcoming apprenticeship, employability and work experience opportunities, please feel free to get in touch wiht me.
