Cleaner, Greener Streets

Here in Thornton Heath there are no places of greenery, trees are always being cut down, the traffic on the Pond is out of control and increasing the air pollution and there are many beggars/unsavoury people on the street which cause people to feel unsafe. We need areas of greenery and safety for all, young and old. The streets need to be more pedestrianised so that people can walk safely. Poverty and unemployment need to be tackled. The local shops could also do with improvements as they look run down.

Also there needs a greater impetus regarding the rubbish/fly-tips on the streets for eg reinstating a free annual removal of 5-6 items by the council plus reducing their price for rubbish removal as many have lost their incomes due to the pandemic and so can't afford for their rubbish to be taken away.

With regards to the Pond maybe it could go back to being a pond and having grass around it.
