LJ Works will offer a range of opportunities for local people to get involved, from those seeking to start up or expand a business, opportunities for local builders and craftspeople to be involved in the construction of LJ Works and plenty of training opportunities for people of all ages.
How can I get involved?
The project is intended to directly benefit the immediate community of Loughborough Junction, to achieve this, we need to hear from you to help shape and inform the design of the site and the activities that will take place when it opens.
Lambeth Council along with the design team, Architecture 00 and Public Works, will be consulting on the design and uses of the site with the public, as well as providing more information on the opportunities to get involved in this exciting scheme.
Come along and meet us at:
Word from the Cabinet
Cllr Jack Hopkins, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Business and Culture, said: “LJ Works will bring so many opportunities for people living in and near Loughborough Junction, from those people who want to develop new skills to those entrepreneurs who are already starting their small businesses. Loughborough Junction has so much to offer and this is just one of many exciting projects and improvements happening in an area that has been for too long simply thought of as a transport thoroughfare.
“This is not the first project aimed at delivering good quality, affordable workspace for local businesses… and it certainly won’t be the last.”
There is currently a shortage of available workspace in the Brixton area – just 100sqm as opposed to Angel and Shoreditch which have around 2,000sqm – and the council has recently applied for an Article 4 direction to protect office and business space from conversion into residential.
More happening in Loughborough Junction
There is a Loughborough Junction Masterplan, developed with residents, that will help guide new development in the area as well as a public realm improvement programme underway, guided by a steering group of local residents and businesses, that aims to improve the look and feel of the area.
