We last reported in March 2025 on progress with the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) project at West Norwood Cemetery and on other issues. The objectives of the NHLF project were to conserve the Cemetery’s magnificent landscape and built structures, as well as offer new experiences and facilities to increase community use. Following a meeting of the cemetery Strategic Partnership Board (SPB) on 8 October 2025 we can now provide an update on the project and other issues.

04.12.25 Update
We are pleased to report that with the completion of the resurfacing works, Knight's Hill was reopened this morning. Buses through West Norwood town centre are running as normal in both directions. 

03.12.25 Update
The final tarmacing works are underway today, and the road should reopen tomorrow Thursday 4 December 2025; the exact time is currently unknown. Unfortuntely, bus stops from Julian's Farm Road to Tulse Hill remain closed, contrary to the online TfL current status advice for some affected bus routes.

 ​All Lambeth secondary schools have now been rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, giving families confidence as they make their Secondary School choices ahead of the 31 October deadline.

It’s that time of year again – weighing up the financial and environmental costs of putting the heating on. Luckily, living in a more sustainable way can save you money and there is help available online and in our neighbourhood.
