Hi All

Some great suggestions were mentioned at this meeting including solar lighting and a spruce up of the railway path, but the knotweed seems to be a big problem which no-one seems to be willing to take responsibility for. No-one was quite sure who was responsible for this so if anyone knows for sure please let me know and I will pass it on.

I made some suggestions overall which were:

- Creating some sort of installation at the back entrance (Perry Vale) where the ticket machine is to hopefully stop people peeing and throwing rubbish in this area and also to brighten it up.

- Put solar lighting in place underneath the new shop signage which will be going in soon at the forecourt to create a better lit station and also for visitors to see visually in the evening what the area has to offer

- Perry Vale side platform - Creepers along the railings and also on the sitting area shed similar to edible bus stops I have looked at lately.

- Main entrance platform - I didn't know and many others didn't either. There's a small soil plot behind the bike lock up to the right of this platform, I suggested a "Kid's Garden" so the local kids can take charge and hopefully the local schools might get involved. I thought this would be good for the kids to get involved and a bit educational.

The real eye opener for me was the massive concrete space which just housed a shed and was just doing nothing. The Groundwork and Energy London team suggested this could be made in to an allotment with small individual plots that locals could look after, and commuters could pick up veg as they get off the train when it harvests.

The next step is these guys will go away with all our ideas and check with TFL what we can and can't do.

They will then email us, so I'll post my email when I get it.
