Building Strong Communities

It would be great to have more cycle parking that doesn't get in the way of pedestrians. Where it's not possible to widen pavements to accomodate both, we could have bike racks (maybe even with sloping clear roofs for a bit of weather protection?) on the road in spaces where cars generally park. I live near Lordship Lane in East Dulwich, and always feel terrible if I need to lock my bike on a lamppost which gets in people's way. If there were just a couple of better options spaced along the long high street, it would only remove a couple of car spots but make a big difference and encourage people to use their bikes instead. More bike hangars on residential streets for people without space to store their own would be good too. Wherever possible, I think bikes should be taking space from cars, not people!

More/bigger bins in parks would be great.

Much stricter guidelines about including green space in any new building developments.

More pedestrianisation of local high streets wherever possible.

Identify suitable places for micro parks - a very small one near us is just as well used as the bigger ones for exercise and dog-walking! But also protect existing green space from being overdeveloped.

Might there be a way for more parks to be open after the sun sets if they were lit better? Of course in the summer it's fine, but through lockdown winter it has been really hard to get out enough before they're closed.

Joint purchasing schemes for solar panels, air source heat pumps etc, to encourage whole neighbourhoods to switch to greener energy affordably.
