We love this scheme which helps make schools safer... Perhaps we could also install a Rain Garden with SuDS in the next school. It add greenery, reduces flooding and we can get the kids involved in the planting!

@beerdbristol @BristolCouncil In Hackney these three parklets earn the local businesses far more money than the parking spaces they replaced ever did.

@rajeshk4u @wfcouncil @Labourstone @CannHallCllr reverting a concreted front garden back isn't as simple as flipping a switch, especially when considering the costs and the fact that each homeowner has the right to their property choices. It's a journey, not a sprint, and every green initiative counts.
