Why is the council creating a masterplan?
Brixton is at the heart of Lambeth. It is famous for its entertainment venues and markets, and has developed an international reputation as a diverse cultural and creative centre. But Brixton also has high levels of unemployment and deprivation. It could perform much better as a town centre and is below average in areas such as retail and leisure turnover for a major town centre. Physical difficulties such as the railway lines have limited regeneration in Brixton and this has led to a general physical decline along with crime, grime and traffic congestion. Dealing with Brixton’s environment to kick-start the regeneration process is a priority for the council. The masterplan will provide a structure for bringing positive change to the area and can be used to help bring in investment.
