Clark Street is a short residential terrace at the centre of St Jude's parish. Over eighteen months the residents' working party has agreed a set of small, incremental changes — a closer reading of the inset above. None of the items below are final; this page is updated after every monthly meet.

"Trees, planters, benches, a noticeboard. A street is the slowest infrastructure we share." — from the May residents' meet

Already agreed

Sheet 24.A — items now settled.

  1. A 20 mph entry zone at both ends of the street, signed and surface-marked.
  2. Footway repairs along the south pavement, completed March 2026.
  3. Annual residents' meet confirmed for the evening of 7 June 2026.

In motion this year

What's being worked on now.

  1. Five new street trees (T1–T5), south footway, target planting October 2026.
  2. Three volunteer-built planters (P1–P3), north footway, workday to be confirmed.
  3. A new noticeboard (N) on the south-side wall, pending permission from the freeholder.

Open questions

Still being talked out.

  1. Bench placement — between the trees, or nearer the noticeboard?
  2. Planting day — a single Saturday in October, or split across two weekends?
  3. Should we apply for a Play Street day in summer 2027?

How to chip in

Volunteer planter build

Workday TBC

Two sessions · timber donated · all tools provided

Help build the three street planters (P1–P3) from reclaimed timber. No prior experience required — there will be people who know what they're doing.

Tree-watering rota

15 minutes per week, per tree, June–September

New trees (T1–T5) need watering through their first two summers. Adopt one or more by emailing the working party.
