Imagine a town centre in Tulse Hill where people linger, shop, and connect—not just pass through. A new street layout could boost footfall and breathe new life into Tulse Hill businesses. Let's fix the gyratory. Join our public meeting on Weds 23 July at 7pm. #SupportLocal #TransformTulseHill

An AI generated picture of Norwood Road in Tulse Hill. The street is free of traffic. There are trees and plants, people cycling, people shopping, one red bus. The sun is shining.

We closed Abbeville Road in Clapham to cars for a few hours today and something truly radical and transformative happened. We saw a community grow. People came out to chat, laugh, listen, gossip, eat, drink and share. Just proves that streets are for people not just for cars.

Don't leave us out in the cold! We hear a lot about the importance of gritting carriageways when it's snowy and icy, but pavements are often forgotten. We're calling on local authorities to grit and clear pavements too, so we can all walk and wheel safely this winter.

We often highlight how swings mean a lot to teenage girls, and are a hit with most people of all ages and backgrounds. But they are mainly only located in playground areas assigned to smaller children. It’d be great to have more swings that encourage people to get outside, socialise and have fun.
