Hello!

Are musicians depressed? Could they please play more uplifting music. 

Whenever I put on the radio in London there is almost always some singer playing sad music and making references to death or other negative thoughts. Could singers and musicians please be encouraged to focus on positive happy thoughts and life when singing. It would help them to be happier people and it would be far more uplifting for everyone if every line of their songs was positive rather than mainly negative. 

Hello!

There are too few flowers in the London parks. 

It would be nice to see more colour in the parks.

Hello!

Offices all around London could be more eco-friendly. All photocopies and letters could be printed on recycled paper. Please can all offices be encouraged to use recycled paper every day wherever possible. 

Thank you

Hello!

It rains a lot in London and people are often getting soaked about but there are no hot air dryers in the public toilets anymore to properly dry up hair, clothes and shoes if we get very get. 

Please can you organise those old style hot air dryers in all toilets so people can dry up properly and not have to go back home or have to buy new clothes and shoes. 

The new style hand dryers only dry hands and are not as helpful as the old style dryers.

Thank you

PLEASE CAN LOTS OF RECYCLING BINS BE ORGANISED IN  ALL PARKS IN LONDON. 

In fact 80% of all bins in London parks could be turned into recycling bins as most rubbish is recyclable. 

There could also be a composting area in all parks for all food waste.

Well done to the groups like the LAGER group that collects the beer cans and beer bottles left around by people in Ealing. These cans and bottles however are not all being recycled which is a shame. They should ALL be put into recycling bins.

There are not enough recycling bins in London.  

Cooked Pasta Sauce on Pizzas Please

Pizzas in London are quite tasteless and badly made, I do not find them satisfying!!! 

Please instead of using plain tomato passata on pizzas could pizzaioli please use a tomato-based pasta sauce then put some mozzarella on top of that.

The tomato based pasta sauces are really tasty and would be great on pizzas.  

Thank you

Hello!

TRAFALGAR SQUARE

1. Why are there only statues of men in Trafalgar Square???!!!

There could be two statues of important ladies there!!!

2. Please can some steps be built on one side of Nelson's column please for people to walk up to the lions properly?

Thank you

Hello!

PLEASE PUT HOOKS IN ALL TOILET CUBICLES AND ALSO NEAR BASINS IN PUBLIC TOILETS ALL OVER LONDON.

All over London, in restaurants, cafes and other places I have had to put my bags on the floor of the toilets and to hold my coat and bag between my thighs while washing my hands because there are not enough hooks in London's toilets. It would help enormously if there was a shelf and hooks near the wash basins to put coats, jackets and bags while we wash our hands, tidy our hair etc. 

Thank you

Hello!
 

It is ridiculous that there is a Befriend Charity in London. It means that some people think that other people do not have basic social skills and do not know how to make friends!

Hello!

A Happy Hour should be about dancing and singing and having fun and not drinking lots of alcohol at half price. I am happy dancing and singing not drinking alcoholic beverages.

I am finding it hard to find places to go dancing between 5-9pm in London.

I think more places should organise some dancing parties for people to get an hour or two of dancing in after work throughout the week rather than having to wait for the weekend. 

There could also be child friendly places to take the whole family out and dance for an hour or two between 4-9pm every week.

There are no family friendly dancing parties going on in London :(

Hello!

The high streets of London are VERY DIRTY, they make the place seem horrible.

CAN THE PAVEMENTS IN LONDON BE WASHED AND CLEANED PROPERLY ONCE A YEAR IN SPRING WITH WATER PRESSURE MACHINES PLEASE?

And the chewing gums removed too! 

And can people stop spitting their chewing gums on to the pavements in the first place please. 

Hello!

PLEASE KEEP SOME WATER BOTTLES AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IN LONDON.

Women have often told me that drinking fridge cold water is bad for me but all over London they seem to only sell fridge cold water bottles 500ml-1litre size. 

Can people please keep some single 500ml-1 litre bottles of water at room temperature in all the supermarkets, corner shops and cafes?

Thank you.

Hello!

PLEASE CAN WE HAVE SOME ARTWORK IN ALL LONDON PARKS!

It would be nice if there were sculptures and murals in ALL the parks in London made by local artists. 

Hello!

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES BEING OFFERED IN MEALS IN RESTAURANTS AND CAFES IN LONDON!!!!

What can be done about it???!!! People are not getting enough fruit and vegetables about. 

Somebody should organise EATWELL PLATE POSTERS for all cafe and restaurant owners, they often do not seem to know that meals should have vegetables covering more than one third of plates. They should all organise some meals based on the Eatwell Plate. 

There is not enough VEG on plates in main meals offered by cafes and restaurants in London. PEOPLE SHOULD EAT 2-3 PROPER PORTIONS OF DIFFERENT COLOURED VEGETABLES FOR LUNCH AND FOR DINNER but cafes and restaurants in London are not including them in meals. There is just half a portion of veg on plates often which is not good enough!!! 

Carbohydrate portions can be very big in London, too big in my opinion. They sometimes cover the entire plate when they should cover just over a third of a plate according to the Eatwell Plate posters! Chips portions in fish and chips places are enormous and often cover the entire plate which is unhealthy and really NOT ideal. Sometimes pasta portions are also covering the whole plate, they could be smaller and cost less. If these carbohydrate portions can be reduced then one could have some space for a something sweet after a meal.

Fish and chips are often served without peas and other vegetables. Burgers and chips are often served without 2 portions of vegetables but just a couple of slices of lettuce and tomato. Some sandwiches have no veg in them at all. 

All restaurants and cafes could offer a bowl of fresh whole fruit after all meals. Just like they sometimes offer bread and butter at the beginning of meals, they could also offer fresh fruit at the end. 

I have been having to bring some veg and fruit portions with me from home every day when I go out to make sure I get at least 5 portions of veg and fruit every day because they just do not serve them out in the cafes and restaurants as part of a meal. 

They could also serve LADIES PORTIONS in restaurants and cafes which are smaller and less expensive so that food is not wasted.

Hello!

In Ealing, trees are being cut before 9am right during the rush hour when there are children and parents/carers about on the pavements and there are many cars about.

COULD COUNCILS PLEASE LEAVE ANY TREE CUTTING FOR AFTER 10AM when there is a lot less traffic on the roads, most of the children are safe indoors and people are at work. That way there is less chance that some piece of tree will fall on someone or on cars. 

The tree cutters are also blocking pavements when people need to get to places. Their work could be done after 9.30 or 10am.  

Thank you

Hello!

I think that 100% of BINS IN LONDON SHOULD BE TURNED INTO RECYCLING BINS. Almost everything can be recycled.

All schools and businesses should be asked to ensure there are recycling bins in EVERY room. Currently in offices and schools there are mainly only bins for all types of rubbish which is not good enough. ALL classrooms need to have a recycling bin to ensure that EVERYTHING that can be recycled is being recycled.  

BUSINESSES SHOULD BE BANNED FROM USING NON-RECYCLABLE MATERIALS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING. Businesses should ALL be asked to STOP using non-recyclable materials for packaging. eg foil-plastic. Some businesses are using foil-plastic packaging when plain plastic packaging would be good enough.

And businesses should only be allowed to use one layer of packaging eg only a plastic bag for cornflakes rather than a plastic bag AND a cardboard box. 

There could be a ban on foil wrapping paper if it cannot be recycled. It is still being sold about when people could use paper instead.

ALL BIN BAGS AND PLASTIC BAGS USED IN LONDON COULD BE 100% BIO-DEGRADABLE TOO.

Hello!

London has a river and canals but there are not many parks along the river or canals to really enjoy being by the water in London. There could be MORE BENCHES AND PARKS ALONG RIVERS AND CANALS, picnic tables and play areas right by the river so that one can see the river and eat a meal there with friends and family on a nice big area of green grass.

There are many buildings along the Grand Union Canal rather than nice parks along it for people to enjoy being by the water. There are not many benches along the canal in the Perivale/Wembley area. 

Hello!

London is too grey, it needs more green areas!! I personally would like there to be TWICE the amount of greenery there currently is in London. This can be done by getting people to put back front and back gardens with real grass and plants, by removing old unused buildings and making more parks, encouraging green grass roofs, tops of tall buildings and parking areas to all have plants and gardens, parking to be organised below buildings rather than at ground level and parks created at ground level instead.

ALL shops on high streets could have a long container along the outside of the shop windows with flowers and plants to help create a more beautiful city that they must maintain.

This should help clean the air and is good for physical and mental wellbeing, it would create a more pleasant environment for everyone etc.    

Hello!

Please can people organise some sandy beach areas in all the London parks. Adults like the sand as much as children and it would be great to have a space to lie down and enjoy the sunny weather and feel like you are having a summer holiday when you are in London from May-September. 

Hello!

I would like for LOTS of tall buildings in London to keep one of the top floors free for the public to go and see the view and have their sandwiches up there. It would be nice to visit a new building around London whenever we travel to a different part of London, to have the opportunity to go up to a high floor in that town and see the view of the city from there. 

Personally I really enjoy seeing sunsets and I would like to find all the best places to see the best sunsets over the city and have a meal there. 

There would need to be benches and picnic tables up there too as well as plants and recycling bins. It would all be free of course!
