Question 4e. Specific aspacts – type and range of shops
Type of shops -too many betting shops / hairdressers / charity shops. Not enough variety to encourage people to visit palmers green
Question 4f. Specific aspects – amount and use of pavement space
Pavement - ????? Around bus stops? Move to areas where pavements wider.
Question 4g. Specific aspects – the Triangle public space
Triangle -too ????? – too many posts – a waste of space – the loss of the tree should be replaced
Question 4h. Specific aspects – Greenery
Greenery – flower planters, waste of space – especially when empty (ones round the triangle) more would be nicer.
Any other comments
Other – make use of those public toilets in the triangle as some sort of business or local amenity – (sub library, computer ??? -sound info centre – café)
Why visit palmers green other than go to the park, library or ???. there is not much else to encourage visitors to the high street unless you want a haircut or to get intimidated by men standing outside smoking!
