Near the start of the video, one of the Festival's founders, Louise Goodison, talks about the wealth of community organisations & groups locally and hopes the high street at Lower Clapton Road (opp. Clapton Pond), will become a destination rather than somewhere you drive past.
The Clapton Arts Trust agrees whole-heartedly and is working to produce a "Vision for Clapton" which suggests ways in which the focus might be returned from the road to the pedestrian spaces, giving people the priority instead of cars and buses.
The visual environment, street furniture and signage as well as under used & inappropriately used public spaces are addressed.
There's even a long term hope and plan to return the roundabout to a crossroads.
The trust hope to have the presentation posted for comment in the not too distant future. It will be on their website claptonartstrust.org
