Vacant position of the LJAG treasurer – Are you interested?

Dear all,

We are delighted to say that the ‘We are Loughborough Junction’ exhibition of portraits of some of you around LJ is going ahead on the week-end of 13 and 14 February (funded by LJAG and SE5 Forum), but the vacancy of the LJAG treasurer (temporari ly kindly  filled by Trista) means that if we don’t find a volunteer to help out with that role quickly, we won’t be able to fund future art projects and events in the area.

This is a real shame as the Council is keen to give us the funds to do lots of interesting things, and there are already very creative ideas being considered for the bridges, but we need your help to make it happen, so please come forward to help out as treasurer/co- treasurer.

We’re not asking for a lot of time, definitely not more than one hour every two weeks keeping track of the very few cheques that we write.

We very much look forward to hearing from you!

Elise.

Carol Singing at the Train Station 17th December

We’ll be carol singing on Thursday 17th December from 6-7pm at Loughborough Junction station.  I’ll have song sheets and if anyone wants to bring a portable instrument to add in to the mix, please do so.

Anyone who wants to come along needs to send me their full names so I can get an access permit for them to be on the station. We are only allowed 20 people, so first come first served!

Thanks for your help.

Greening LJ – this Sunday 8 November!!!

There is a plan afoot to green – or perhaps colour – Loughborough Junction next spring by planting bulbs around the place this weekend. Some local businesses have agreed to have their plots bulbed and there are spaces here and there….

To get the bulbs we need donations! Donations of bulbs would be great, but donations of money are also acceptable if you prefer to contribute that way, as we can make a quick visit to a garden centre.

If you can provide either bulbs or money, please come to the Cambria this Sunday 8 November 1-2 pm where the gardeners will be there to collect them for planting Sunday afternoon.

Volunteers to plant the bulbs are also very welcome, probably best if you bring your own trowel, fork, whatever.

See you there!

Loughborough Junction Street Party 2010

After talks of an LJ 2010 Street Party in the Spring/Summer, which will probably involve supporting individual street parties (so far people have expressed an interest in doing something on Wingmore Road, Thorlands Estate and Southwell Road), please e-mail or call me if you are interested in helping out an LJ event and/or organising a street party in your street and we can take it from there.

WALKABOUT WITH COUNCILLORS AND KEITH NAISH FROM STREETCARE TO IDENTIFY GROT SPOTS TOMORROW FRIDAY

A bit short notice I’m afraid, but for those of you who can make it tomorrow at 8.30am at the train station, Jim Dickson (HHCouncillor) has arranged a walkabout  to identify local grot spots with Keith Naish – the freshview project manager, Tim has been banging on about the state of Gordon Grove in particular for a long time but we will also be looking at other areas too.

For those of you who cant make it perhaps you can leave a comment about your least favorite spots in Loughborough Junction.  We will make sure your comments get to Jim Dickson.

I’m with Tim, Gordon Grove has become a filthy tip over the recent months.

The Loughborough Junction Noticeboard has arrived!!

Dear LJ residents,

We are delighted to see the community noticeboard outside the LJ station, Lambeth Council  suggested we (LJAG) apply for it and we hope it can help give LJ a bigger sense of place and community. It will show all the exciting things happening in LJ and has already started thanks to Tim’s swift move with posters over the week-end, thanks Tim!

If you know any group/art project/school/ anyone local who could be interested in advertising their activities, just let us know.

We also need volunteers to help find and link with those groups for regular updates of what’s happening (our own LJ Time Out really), so if you’re interested in this exciting opportunity please volunteer, you’ll be the best informed person in the area!

Also, 150 Posters and 1000 leaflets advertising the 19 October meeting are on their way from the printer, so the call for leafleting volunteers is imminent, be prepared!

Cheers!

Elise.

Lambeth waste questionnaire

Hi all,

Lambeth would like everyone to fill in a questionnaire on the future of waste in Lambeth. They are apparently preparing ‘a new waste strategy that will cover the next 20 years of recycling and rubbish services in the borough’ (I kid you not) and want to hear YOUR VIEWS.

The address for the questionnaire is
