\"Brixton<\/p>\n

It appears Brixton is getting a new square in the shape of ‘Brixton Square’ at\u00a0368-372 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, London, SW9 8PL – right next to Granville Arcade\/Brixton Village.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Brixton<\/p>\n

A Barratt Homes development on the site of the much-missed Cooltan Arts community centre, the ‘Brixton Square’ name has only recently appeared on the site hoardings, resplendent in a graffiti-style ‘edgy’ typeface.<\/p>\n

\"Brixton<\/p>\n

Although it’s calling itself ‘Brixton Square,’ as far as I can see there’s no\u00a0actual\u00a0public square included in this private development.<\/p>\n

In fact, I don’t think there’s any council\/social housing either, and I’m not sure about how much affordable\u00a0housing is in there too – Barratt’s website<\/a> currently has no\u00a0information\u00a0at all about these new ‘contemporary apartments.’<\/p>\n

\"Barratt<\/p>\n

Still, at least there’s that lovely green space outside Southwyck House opposite,\u00a0which\u00a0is still a popular choice for folks to enjoy their lunch outdoors.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s there for now<\/em>, but even that’s under threat from developers: I’ll be posting up more about that later.<\/p>\n

Discuss the\u00a0development\u00a0– and other Brixton matters on the very busy Brixton forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
