Campaigners for urgent improvements at Loughborough Junction station respond to Lambeth’s announcement

Lift Up LJ, the campaign for urgent improvements at Loughborough Junction station, have welcomed Lambeth Council’s recent announcement about the funding of a feasibility study in 2026.

This will examine options to accommodate not only vital step-free accessibility improvements, but also long-overdue safety infrastructure works at both platform and street level.

They told Brixton Buzz:

The campaign particularly noted the statement by Lambeth Council is Deputy Leader that Lambeth “looks forward to working with local people as this project progresses”.

The campaign has important local knowledge, relevant to the design and scope of the feasibility study, that it is anxious to share from the outset with the Council and also with Network Rail, and is now pressing the Council for an early meeting to discuss these critical details.

Speaking for Lift Up LJ, local campaigner Nick Lewis said

“The value of a feasibility study, and its credibility with the growing number of station users, depends on its legal scope as well as the willingness of local and national authorities to push the project forward, which is why we look forward to working closely with the Council and Network Rail at this critical early stage of the project.”

They added:

Loughborough Junction and its population is growing rapidly, stimulated by recent and current major residential developments and supported by over 40 thriving businesses run by a diverse and welcoming local community.

In addition, we are welcoming the continued expansion of new clinics and staff accommodation associated with King’s College Hospital.

This project therefore represents a unique opportunity to improve the quality of life, health and wellbeing of this neglected area of Lambeth.
