Clark Street working plan

The current public revision of the Clark Street public-realm plan. This document is maintained by the St Jude's residents' group and reviewed at the annual residents' meet.

Key facts

Summary

Clark Street is a short residential terrace at the centre of St Jude's parish. Over the last eighteen months, residents have agreed a set of small, incremental improvements to the public realm: traffic-calming at both entries, new street trees, volunteer-built planters, two benches and a noticeboard. This plan sets out what is settled, what is in motion this year, and the questions still open for discussion.

None of the items below are final. This page is updated after every monthly residents' meet.

Open questions
