More Heathrow flight paths planned over Streatham - consultation deadline 4 March


Streatham: 47 flights per hour at less than 4,000ft
Aircraft noise over Streatham is set to increase significantly under plans for Heathrow Airport expansion. 

Currently less than 1 in 20 of Heathrow's aircraft movements affects Streatham - but this is set to increase to 1 in 12, with nearly 50 flights an hour flying over us at 3,000-4,000ft.

Here are suggested responses to the online Heathrow Consultation, which is very complicated with lots of supporting documentation. Hopefully, this will make it easier for Streatham's views to be heard.

Save The Streatham Hub Children's Centre


The Streatham Hub Children’s Centre – services under threat

Streatham's Green Party councillors are fighting to save The Streatham Hub Children’s Centre from drastic cuts planned by Lambeth Council.

More than 900 families will lose vital drop-in services at this well-used centre that offers opportunities for parents and children to play, socialise and get access to family, educational and work advice and to health care.
