Ask your councillors to support parklets

Parklets help communities redesign their streets and create more space for rest, socialising, play, and plants. But so far, only four councils in the UK (all in London) have a simple process for residents to request new parklets, and make them a reality. Can you help change this?

We want to help people reimagine their streets as places free from the harms of car dominance. Parklets (which are essentially old parking spaces that have been transformed into something for people to enjoy)* are a great way to do this, by giving space back to people and nature.

We are calling on local authorities to adopt community parklet policies, which allow local communities and residents to come together and create parklets. We've even created a parklets toolkit for local authorities - a handy resource including learnings from councils which have led the way on parklets.

Will you write to your councillors, and ask them to adopt a community parklet policy for your local authority?
