In Streatham, London, residents have blocked a £650,000 renovation on Amesbury Avenue, citing concerns over the removal of parking spaces for seating and planters. They fear this change will harm local businesses and lead to increased antisocial behavior.

Locals express frustration over what they see as a lack of genuine community input in the planning process. They feel the council has ignored their voices and concerns.

Lambeth Council defends the project, asserting that it aims to revitalize the area and has undergone extensive community engagement over five years.
