Lambeth emptied the bunker under ear treehouse last summer 2016

Looks like it's Cllr Gadsby making personal attacks, not Cllr Heywood. Also, sadly, Herne Hill ward cllrs are not "working with residents to find solutions", just trying to impose unwanted non-so...

It's a very murky business. The refusal of Lambeth to consult with local people made residents extremely angry (an official letter was sent to residents only 1 day before the closure) & this was ...
