Who we are
The KOV Forum is an independent, non-political neighbourhood organisation serving the North Lambeth area. We bring together residents, community groups, voluntary organisations and local businesses to champion the issues that matter most to our community.
KOV Forum is dedicated to fostering a welcoming community where members can engage in meaningful events and discussions.
All who live, work, study or have a strong connection to the Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall area are welcome to join (membership is free!).
What we do
We provide a strong community voice and work with local authorities, health services, the police and other organisations to help shape the future of our area.
Issues we get involved in include:
- Green spaces and the local environment
- Streets, public spaces and local amenity
- Walking and cycling
- Housing and development
- Community safety
- Transport and air quality
- Local services and neighbourhood wellbeing
