Forum topic: The first links in a green chain between Broomfield Park and Hazelwood Rec

If you would like to help this project, please make sure to click the heart on the Spacehive page or make a pledge. When deciding whether to give a grant, the Mayor of London's fund does not take likes and positive comments on social media into account so it's only the ones on Spacehive that matter. It's quick to click on the heart - so please do that! We'd love to get this off the ground and start to incorporate some plants into the high street to create a green chain.

A fantastic initiative to help the look and sustainability of our High St. You have my support.

This is a great idea. The trees in their planters could stand in the unused cycle track to avoid obstructing the pavement.

Well said. It seems that almost any conversation about Enfield has someone saying 'and what about the unused cycle lanes'. It 's exhausting to keep correcting the lie that 'no one uses the lanes' . Even when posting the evidence (for example 8000 cycle trips made through Palmers Green triangle this January - up 9% on last January) the opponents don't accept it but rather rely on 'there was no one on it when I drove down Green Lanes last Tuesday'. Interestingly I've never ever seen anyone put forward data-driven evidence that the lanes aren't used. Equally the opponents never offer their plan for reducing traffic and traffic-related pollution. It'd be great to see some posts on how they would address one of society's major challenges (PS electric vehicles may reduce pollution but not traffic volumes).
