Chillingham Road Primary school had a problem with pavement parking (and driving). Last year I installed 2 benches. They were well received. So I fundraised for more benches and planters. Now it's a safe space for everyone to use.

@VoteTimBarnes Thought I'd take a look at your stomping ground on Google Maps - this is where you hold your weekly surgery.

@wandsworth You're openly campaigning for "More traffic. More pollution. More danger on our streets." ?
