We are trying to get a parklet for Norcott Road, Stoke Newington, N16

We are through to stage two of @hackneycouncil parklet application.

Watch this space. We might need some help.

Swift returning to nest under soffit in Norcott/Alconbury Road last night.

Often 40+ circling, swooping and screeching in evenings.

Wonderful.

Up to 40 swifts in the Alconbury Road and Norcott Road vicinity earlier today.

Swooping low down the corridor of gardens.

@HackneyLivingSt @alastairis Thank you!

📢 Today's the day!
UK Pop-up Parklets Day!
The sun is shining where we are, hopefully for you too. ☀️
Grab a chair, the newspaper or book, a game, or chalk for the kids to draw on the tarmac, and create space on your road!
Send us pics! 📸

@LondonParklet We might need to pick your brains soon. But also happy to share everything we have done.

[Norcott Road Parklet @NorcottParklet]

From grey to green.

Today we submitted our stage two #parklet proposal.

Hopefully @hackneycouncil will look favourably on this community initiative.

@alastairis & @Semakaleng we also suggested two simple speed restriction measures to make our community safer and healthier.

@bigdamo Bit by bit! It’s hard enough getting bike hangars. Although the council is increasing the provision.

[Norcott Road Parklet @NorcottParklet]

Prototyping our #parklet last night.

We shared food. Neighbours joined us. Excellent.

@BobFromAccounts Who did the designs and build? We are finalising ours.

Wilton Way Hackney going full Parklet with the addition of 3 new parklets to the original one, plus planters and bike stands. You love to see it. Thanks @metecoban92 @mayorofhackney and the legendary @jonburkeUK who got the ball rolling. @hackneycouncil @willnorman

When streets play everything is a film set. #parklet

V good to meet @Mr_Tom_n to discuss our plans for two new parklets in Hackney.

Creating spaces for communities to use.

Thanks for visiting!

When built, our parklet will be a swift watching venue next year.

This is what we want to replicate on Norcott Road.

Stage two application is being worked up now.

8 weeks ago a car sat here. Now we can sit drink tea, catch up with friends old and new. #parklets ⁦@AdamDKHarrison⁩ ⁦@londonparklets⁩

@Semakaleng Yes please Sem, and thank you.

[Norcott Road Parklet @NorcottParklet]

We had a good meeting with a v supportive council officer today. Second round bid to be submitted by 22 July. Hopefully for a circa six week decision after that.

V promising.

If anyone has any good tips on insurance then do get in touch.

We have chalked out the potential space.

This is where we hope to create the parklet on Norcott Road

It has been good making links already.
