Seven Rings, Seven Days

KERA welcomes this news from Wandsworth Council as it will benefit our residents and hopefully help improve the current flytipping situation happening in our estate

The dedicated contact number of 0208 871 6000, which a member of staff will answer within 7 rings, was launched on 30 January together with a new promise that residents reporting graffiti, a dangerous pothole or broken street sign will see it fixed in 7 days.

The council is also offering every household two free bulky waste collections a year – saving households up to £47 each – to help achieve cleaner streets across the borough. Weekly waste collections and recycling collections are also guaranteed, alongside the expansion of much-loved Mega Skip Days.

Congratulations Elena, Gardening Competition Winner

On the 7th of November Elena Kidane (a prominent member of our Kambala Estate Residents’ Association) was invited to Wandsworth Town Hall to receive a Prize, in a Gardening Competition for the “Private/Remote Garden Category”.

She won the 2nd Prize in this truly competitive competition.

Elena states – 

“My garden was looked after by my husband, before. After he passed away 3 years ago, I try to maintain what he has done. That’s all. 
It takes time, but in the summer it’s really nice to be in our garden.”

The invitation about her success in this Competition was sent by “Mr. Donovan R.” in an email and stated

“Dear Elena,
We are delighted to inform you that you have been selected as a winner in the recent gardening competition organised by Wandsworth Borough Council’s Housing and Regeneration Department. The judges were truly impressed by the creativity, beauty, and dedication you demonstrated in maintaining a vibrant and thriving private garden.”

Elena also added “I was the only person from Kambala Estate.  
However I hope, that even more people can participate in future.”

Hicks Close New Bike Hangar

Last May, the KERA Committee received a request from a resident, to install a bike hangar on the Estate, along with a request to rent two spaces.

The 1st KERA representative forwarded this request to the Resident Participation Officer – Vanessa Santos. A funding request was then raised, for a new Green Cycle Hangar. This was granted for installation at the entrance of Hicks Close, through approval from the Eastern Area Housing Panel, on July 8, 2024.

The new Green Bike Hangar was installed in August 2024 and is now fully operational.
