Big Shift – April

Community ParkletsJanuary and February saw the installation of 5 Community Parklets!Meristem’s team braved the winter weather and installed the first batch of parklets. The parklets will serve as community hubs for residents, who have reached out to let us know how they have brightened the street. The parklets provide spaces for socialising and rest where previously there has been none.The individual parklets have taken different shapes depending on how the residents want to use them. One group of residents wanted there to be plenty of space so they can bring out their own chairs to socialise in the evenings as they started doing during lockdown.<img width="601" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1709569774/projects/5f32bb40891762936f089370/rqtdghwl5khoydk0dech.jpg" alt="A truck parked in a parking lot

They chose to honour her memory by applying for the parklet and uniting their neighbours around this new space.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1709569932/projects/5f32bb40891762936f089370/xhwwlgakwhpvujuaqmrc.jpg" style="width: 600px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii">&nbsp;If you and your community would like a parklet on your street you can find out more information on the<a href="https://www.lambeth.gov.uk/streets-roads-transport/community-parklet-scheme">&nbsp;Big Shift Website.</a>&nbsp;Cycling supportAs spring is just around the corner, why not try out something new and give cycling a go?
