Page 36Borough. My understanding is that the proposals are a work-in-progress and that the Mayorof London is in conversation with the Government to get the best deal possible6. Councillor Mary AtkinsTo: Councillor Matthew Bennett - Cabinet Member for HousingLambeth Council Residents’ Tenancy AgreementsWhile we are proud of Lambeth's commitment in its 2014 manifesto to build more homes forCouncil rent, the Tory Government's proposal to move existing Council tenants from securetenancies to lifelong assured tenancies could seriously undermine the housing rights ofresidents across the Borough. Tory polices both past and present have already eroded thenumber of Council houses available to Lambeth's residents. Could the Cabinet Memberconfirm to the tenants of Cressingham Gardens and indeed all Council estates where theCouncil is looking to rebuild homes that they will have the existing rights of Council tenants?Party: LabourAnswer:The Council is committed to the manifesto ambition to deliver 1,000 new homes for Councilrent, to seek to offset some of the loss of Council homes in the Borough. This will bedelivered through a variety of mechanisms, including the Lambeth Estate RegenerationProgramme. Where the Council is looking to rebuild estates and replace homes for Counciltenants, we are committed to providing these tenants with tenancies that contain theirexisting rights, with one exception: there will be no Right to Buy within the new tenancies. Adraft Assured Lifetime Tenancy has been prepared which will be considered by Cabinet onMonday 13th July 2015, tenants who will be affected by the Estate RegenerationProgramme will be consulted on this before it is adopted.7. Councillor Rob HillTo: Councillor Jackie Meldrum - Cabinet Member for Adult Social CareFuture Carers StrategyWhat are the Council’s plans to put in place a comprehensive Carers Strategy for theBorough in the future?Party: LabourAnswer:We recognise how vital carers are. In Lambeth, there are hundreds of carers holding familiestogether, enabling loved ones to get the most out of life, and making an enormouscontribution to society.
Page 37We want to develop a high-level family and carers strategy which takes account of the recentchanges introduced by the Care Act. This will set out the key principles and standards forsupporting carers. Our strategy will require that carers’ needs and their contribution are fullyintegrated into all of our care related transformation programmes. The plan is to co-producethe strategy with carers over the next few months, with the aim of completing this byNovember 2015.8. Councillor Vaila McClureTo: Councillor Jack Hopkins – Cabinet Member for Jobs and GrowthLondon Garden BridgeCould the Cabinet Member update this Council on the current status of the Garden Bridgeproject and Lambeth's current position on it?Party: LabourAnswer:The Garden Bridge would run from the roof of Temple tube station on the North Bank of theRiver Thames to The Queen’s Walk by the London Studios on the South Bank. It would be366 metres (1204 ft) long and 30 metres (98 ft) across at its widest point.The bridge would feature plants, trees, shrubs and wildflowers. It is supported by Transportfor London and based on an idea conceived by the actor Joanna Lumley and designed byThomas Heatherwick. The Garden Bridge Trust was set up to oversee the project.Some £60m towards the estimated £175m cost of the bridge has been pledged by the Mayorof London and the Government through HM Treasury. There will be no public money fromLambeth towards the construction or upkeep of the bridge.PlanningLambeth is one of the two independent planning authorities who have approved the GardenBridge proposal – the other is Westminster. We granted permission in December 2014 butthis was conditional on the fulfilment of 45 specific terms. It means that the bridge can onlygo ahead if the Planning Committee is satisfied that the Garden Bridge Trust has compliedwith all these conditions.Those conditions range from construction, provision of toilets and plans to accommodate thenumber of potential visitors. The Judicial Review that followed the decision led to the Mayorunderwriting the maintenance of the Bridge should the business case fail. It did not queryany aspect of Lambeth’s decision making and we will continue to work by those highstandards.ACVLambeth Council has approved an application for the land at Queen’s Walk to be listed as anAsset of Community Value (ACV). This simply puts a six months stop on any sale when theowner of the land serves notice on the Council that they intend to dispose of the asset. Thisallows community groups to try to get funds together so that they can purchase the asset
