1.  a Tenant Management Organisation where Residents would have more control..but do we have the resources?  

Would we get a budget to employ staff?

2.  Private.  Can the gates be put on token entry?  

The rectilinear layout means that there are no real shortcuts for the public anyway.

3.  Not enough green space.  Far too few trees- climate change will make these more and more necessary.  The Listing statement does include that the original architects expected planting to develop over time so the planting design was ever 'etched in stone'.  

Large tracts of paving- surely some more could be planted- although maintenance would be required.

4.  Very sad that no-one thought to jet wash the concrete paving BEFORE painting.  

Lots of uneven, broken paving across the estate, lots of ponding in wet weather.  

Sports centre roof needs proper waterproofing liner under the paving.  

Lighting very poor in the West square; North of Bowater.

I have already suggested a flying sculpture above the West square to the Corporation as part of earlier consultations.

5.  No.  The development is in Islington and should be managed by their residents; the school will be managed by school staff.
