Description

The Big Shift Programme sits within the Lambeth Transport Strategy Programme and aims to move residents and businesses towards greener, sustainable and cleaner ways of moving around the borough.

The programme is made up of a series of project which tie into the Kerbside Strategy priority areas and the Climate Action Priorities. Priority 2 of the Kerbside Strategy is "create places for people" which includes the goal to introduce a parklet in each of the 25 wards of the borough.

Lambeth Council are looking for an organisation to create and implement a catalogue of modular items that can be built into a parklet. The Big Shift Community Support Grant will provide the opportunity for residents and community groups to be part of London's biggest parklet programme.

Parklets are a way of creating unique, public spaces for local communities to enjoy which place sustainability, community and safety at the centre of their design. The brief outlines what we require from the organisation: Catalogue, build and installation
