What's Happening Around Portland Road?

The big story on Portland Road at the moment is the second Portland Arts Festival which took place in June. This year we had more events than ever at more venues than ever and to bigger crowds than ever. Thank you to everyone who came along. If you did not make it down check out the review to see what you missed.

• The 2008 Portland Arts Festival finished on Sunday 22nd June. A huge thank you to all the participants, hosts and sponsors for making it such a success. And thank you to everyone who came along and made it worth the huge effort it takes to organise these events. We have collected together some photographs from the events which you can see starting from this page:

Posh-Up Portland Road 2008

• On Saturday May 10, we all threw on our luminous jackets to clear up some of the rubbish in our area. We met outside the Leisure Centre at 10 a.m. and spent the next few hours giving the whole area a good scrub up. See some of the pictures and find out about Street Champions too by clicking here.

Swimming Pool Saga Continues

• The controversial refurbished South Norwood Swimming Pool finally re-opened in September just a couple of weeks earlier than the proposed new Leisure Centre was due to open. The warnings that were ignored must be ringing in our Council's ears as the pool was forced to close twice in a week.
