Climate-friendly streets
Lambeth’s Community Parklet Scheme, supported by the Big Shift Community Fund, will fund 25 parklets (one in each borough ward) created and maintained by residents and community groups in partnership with the council.
A parklet is an old parking space transformed into something for people to enjoy. They are great for bringing communities together and providing some much-needed local green space.
In line with Lambeth’s Kerbside Strategy and Climate Action Plan, parklets open the kerbside to create places for people to rest, play and garden. The parklets will typically be installed on residential streets. However, you can install them on high streets where they are not for business purposes.
The third phase of the scheme is open for summer 2024.
