Who owns our streets? Our neighbourhoods? Who has the right to make changes?
Before I start I should point out that, while I agree with the writer, the words at the end of this post are not my words but those of London Parklet Campaign on Twitter, whose Twitter thread, posted this week, I m reproducing below.
The thread certainly struck a chord with some of us whose own extremely modest efforts to green the streets, at no cost to the council, were met with an immovable barrier of council intransigence, unbelievable hurdles to jump over (which we did our best to do) and, indeed, downright hostility from elected councillors (to be clear, not any of the current Harringay councillors) and council officials who seemed outraged that we had taken it upon ourselves to make changes.
