Our Lambeth streets team have been out since 4am every day, spreading a total of 350 tonnes of grit on our roads. For more information, see our gritting guide.


SEND, College/Day centre transport

A number of routes have been cancelled today due to health & safety concerns.

Lambeth council’s Brixton Customer Centre, at Olive Morris House on Brixton Hill, is only for appointments only today, due to impacts resulting from the bad weather. The situation will be reviewed on Monday morning.


Lambeth Parks

We have cancelled all pitch bookings for this weekend. Parkrun and the Frank Harmer 10k have also been cancelled. In addition, some facilities have had to be closed due to the water supply freezing over.
