                                                HYDE’S PLANS ARE:

 

TO BULLDOZE:

BELLEVUE MANSIONS                        THE PARK ON RHODESIA ROAD

THE SPORTS COURT / MUGA        THE TIA ANA NURSERY,

10 LAMBETH SELF-HELP ASSOC HOMES ON GRANTHAM ROAD

 

TO THEN BUILD:

MINIMUM 450 UNIT HOUSING ESTATE INCLUDING:

·       A 30-STOREY TOWER BLOCK (fully private), 

·       6 OTHER MID- AND HIGH-RISE BLOCKS (‘affordable’ 51,100+ Laughing Emoji Stock Photos ... and private).

 

THIS WILL INCREASE HOUSING DENSITY TO 6 TIMES THE LONDON AVERAGE

 

ONLY 20% OF ALL NEW BUILD IS FOR SOCIAL RENT – historically housing associations reduce this number with minimal consequences.  

(Hyde has to rehouse all tenants in BGM who wish to return)

 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:

 

1.         FURTHER OVERCROWDING AT CLAPHAM NORTH AND STOCKWELL UNDERGROUND STATIONS, 

2.         A MINIMUM OF 1500 ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS - CREATING ‘SUPERDENSITY’ HOUSING.  (NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ALREADY APPROVED DEVELOPMENTS ON LANDOR ROAD).

3.         HUGE ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON YOUR PUBLIC SERVICES, CONGESTION ON THE A3 AND INCREASED AIR POLLUTION.

4.          THE OPEN GREEN SPACE ON RHODESIA ROAD (INCLUDING MANY MATURE TREES) AND MULTI USE GAMES AREA (THE BALL COURT) WILL BE GONE LEAVING NOWHERE FOR CHILDREN IN TOWERS AND LOCAL STREETS TO PLAY.

Originally from Mexico, dahlias are a tropical flower that summers from August and well into the fall. Butterflies adore them, I adore them, and you likely adore them too. Let’s all grow dahlias so we can have the brightest coloured gardens on the block!

Summer Bulb of the Year

The decorative dahlia has the honour of being called Flowerbulbs.com’s 2021 summer bulb of the year (even though it’s a tuber it’s categorized as a summer-flowering bulb). One of 12 groups of dahlias, the decorative dahlia is a popular variety due to its size and striking colours.

This plant has slender stems with oval leaves, and “ray flowers” that are wide, flat, and have round or pointed tips. They exist in short to tall varieties, ranging in height from 20 to 60 inches.

Since they have such long stems, they make for a wonderful cut flower perfect for tall vases. The bright burst of colour is sure to brighten any bouquet for Random Gifts of Flowers, and the cutting of the flower will encourage even more blooms on the dahlia plant.
