Ashmole Estate Regeneration, Lambeth
The Site
Ashmole estate, in the Oval ward of Lambeth, is a mixture of 1930s 5-storey walk up blocks, 1970’s tower blocks, maisonettes and houses. The estate was managed by an ALMO until transfer to MHT in 2010. Adjacent to the Oval cricket ground and bordered by high value Victorian streets and a number of schools, by the mid noughties, the estate badly needed extensive renovation and investment.
MHP worked for five years with residents, resident groups and councillors to develop a ballot-winning offer, which addressed residents’ key concerns. The regeneration goes beyond the physical aspects and the Ashmole Sustainability Strategy was developed to address employment and training needs, sport, health and wellbeing, and developing young people.
