Current Situation

The Clapham Park area covers 150 acres on a site between Brixton, Streatham, Balham and Clapham, in the London Borough of Lambeth. Here’s a brief overview of the Clapham Park we see today:

• Approximately 7,100 people live within the area.
• There are 1,983 homes
• 1,523 are tenanted
• 460 are owned by leaseholders
• ASB has reduced considerably since 2006, thanks to the efforts of the community and their partners.
• Busy roads divide the estate and isolate one part of the community from another
• There is a lack of space for physical activity, with few sports or play facilities
• Resident surveys have confirmed that many of the homes suffer from:
• Substandard heating
• Lack of thermal insulation and sound separation between dwellings.
• Old kitchens and bathrooms
• Electrical wiring that needs replacing
