Ecology Park Let's bring back the plans for the Ecology Park on the Land East of London Road. These plans were widely consulted on in Hackbridge 10 years ago and there was widespread support for wetlands, lavender fields, dog walking areas, all kinds of demonstration sustainable land use that would give Hackbridge residents a place of beauty where they can go and relax. I'll put the old plans up on display at All Saints church for Hackbridge week.

Set up a Hackbridge Swap Shop online. Then when you need something like a new kettle (this happened to me), you email round saying "Has anyone got a spare kettle?". I ended up with 2. Does anyone need a kettle? There's already Sutton Freecycle. This is even more local.
