Is it possible to make some more parks? I wonder if more public meeting spaces for meetings, pop-up theatres and cinemas is worth thinking about. I wonder if the emphasis on trains and light railways is appropriate in a post pandemic world. I hope the proposed industrial plan for Deptford and Evelyn can be made to work.<\/p>\n<p>So they claim to have met the GLA Housing targets, not the manifesto promises. The documents are a hard read and the comments are often not very progressive. If these are your subjects, planning, housing, air and parks, then get stuck in. There seems to be no short cut, one has to read the documents.<\/p>\n<p>The featured image is of Hilly Field&#8217;s stone circle, and taken and cropped\/resized from this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lewisham have issued a consultation on their plan.
