Rebecca Stewart4 years ago The corner of Carlyle Road onto Romford Road is a flytipping hotspot. The extended pavement invites rubbish. The opposite (north side) pavement is planted up not only deterring flytipping but also improving biodiversity and greening of the borough. My proposal is for the hotspot to be turned into a flower bed. It's very straightforward as the opposite side provides an example of what it would look like. The concrete needs to be removed and then local, hardy, evergreen perennials can be planted up. The picture shows the north side example greenery. It's so simple to do!

Rebecca Stewart5 years ago This project will plant trees with wild grasses and flowers at their base along the Romford Road and surrounding Avenues of Manor Park. This patch of our land feels like a thoroughfare, somewhere to get through, or away from. It feels like a wasteland, but it is home to many of us residents and business owners. And it could be much more appealing and well cared for. Trees are hopeful. They look to provide for future generations whilst bringing joy to those who get to watch their growth now. Their benefits are massive: improved biodiversity; decreased traffic noise pollution; improved microclimates with shade and cooling; protection from flooding; welcome to wildlife; reduced crime and pavement parking; support for community mental health and emotional wellbeing; improved aesthetic and pavement environment; and learning opportunities. Everyone should have access to green spaces in their daily routine. And green spaces need us to step up and take action. Planting trees is not just for us, it’s for the trees themselves, and all who use them, not just humans.
