A paved 'piazza' is probably going to be more workable than a grassed 'green', given the footfall and desire for local shops to share the space. I do like the single oak tree idea. It could also be used by Miss Annie for her maypole hedonism.

@andy - A great idea. Probably more ‘if we win the council’ territory as I doubt that the current Labour Council would be willing to be so innovative and risk-taking, but I will keep it in mind.

andy · March 2014

Probably right. <div><br></div><div>Also, interesting how many of the things on this thread were more or less suggested by one of our local communists four years ago.</div>

'Piazza'? Tsk. What's wrong with 'square'?

Mirandola · March 2014

Mind you, my hometown has named its pro-breastfeeding initiative 'happy popping' and is talking about 'restyling' a medieval palace. Comparatively, 'piazza' is tickety-boo, if still a little infra-dig.

Hurrah for hedonism! There was an article in the weekend Independent or Guardian about planting trees that you will never see mature. I like the idea of an oak.

I'd love to see someone/somewhere in London try to introduce parklets. They are very successful in many North Amercian cities.<br><br>Basically, a parking space (or several) are converted into a mini plaza through for instance decking, seating and some plating.<br><br>More details: http://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/parklets.aspx<br><br>Pictures: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=parklets&safe=off&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=tQofU__iNuyp7QbF8IHoCw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1680&bih=893<br><br>https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=parklets+vancouver&safe=off&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=0AofU5HBBsTy7Aa694CYAQ&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1680&bih=893<br>;

Oh, how the Canadians adore being called North Americans.

NorthNineteen · March 2014

What? I didn't call Canadians North American... It was simply easier to write that than cities in Canada and the USA. If you only got them in Canadian cities I would have said Canadian cities. If they only occured in the USA I'd say American cities.<br><br>Geez.<br>

Idoru · March 2014

North America is the continent. Canada is part of that continent. NorthNineteen was entirely correct.

dion · March 2014

What about Mexico?

Idoru · March 2014

Part of North America.<div><br></div><div>Anyhoo, a plaza sounds like a great idea. And dare I suggest a wildlife garden?</div>

@NorthNineteen It was a light hearted remark, we used to have lots of them here in the olden days. Hey ho.

There are already a fair few of those affairs in the City and a couple in Clerkenwell. However, I shall try not to think of them as 'parklets' as the word makes me worry I'm about to be sick in my mouth. The one with Astroturf can fuck off, mind (see also the Astroturf with the Godfrey's cow statue down by John Jones, where there used to be some actual nature).

ShaunG · March 2014

I am very confused. When did Andy turn into "CrankyITguy"?

dion · March 2014

About 4 years after this website got overloaded with self righteous, sanctimonious, nasty minded, victim-complex twaddle

ADGS · March 2014

Next Stationers Park question - what's with the water levels? The waterfall is defunct, the ponds either side almost empty. Was it lowered to prevent risk of overflow during all the flooding, and (when) will it be returned to something more pond, less muddy puddle?

kreuzkav · March 2014

Is Dion Andy or am I being paranoid?

dion · March 2014

Paranoid, I can barely do a hyperlink, let alone run and manage a website. If you need some bookkeeping, or business advice, then I can help. Otherwise I just make the odd sht comment and rant on about zebra crossings and hark back to how much better the site used to be in the old days when it was a fun rather than rancid atmosphere imbued with bilious nonsense.

Sutent · March 2014

@arkady. I know i have mentioned this before. I was at arena shopping centre Saturday afternoon. There was no where to lock bikes outside homebase/sports direct except for homebase trolley park. I spoke to a few cyclists who agreed that I bike stands would be useful. There is lots of space too. Please please will you consider this.

Arkady · March 2014

@Sutent - thanks, I will pass that on to our candidates in Harringay ward!

Sutent · March 2014

@arkady. Thanks so much

andy · March 2014

paranoid, as per.

<P>This is a little blast from the past I came across by accident</P> <P><A href="http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/durham/piazza.htm">http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/durham/piazza.htm</A></P>; <P>The not supported comments aren't particularly complimentary. The pictures are from the days before the old rose plants were taken out so I am not sure how old this must be</P>

Sutent · March 2014

Good spot Ali. Looks like 2001 from the bottom of the site

Ali · March 2014

Guess the "modern" looking cars give it away

Arkady · March 2014

Krappyrubsnif has something to with that, I think.

Howdy, Stranger!
