Throughout 2020 and 2021 we worked in partnership with Lambeth Council on implementing its Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) directive with Father Nature commissioned to deliver all the traffic calming planters.

With emergency government COVID funding as well as financial support from TFL and the Major of London’s Liveable Neighbourhoods programme, the idea behind LTNs is to make our streets places where pedestrians and cyclists feel safe to enjoy active travel and be part of life on their street free from rat running cars and commercial vehicles. So far we have designed, built and installed over 50 planters across the borough including those at Oval Triangle, Railton Road, Tulse Hill, Ferndale and Streatham Hill. While opinions about the benefits of LTNs are strongly divided, we have made sure that our planters are long lasting and sturdy. They also have built in irrigation and plenty of grade A soil inside them to encourage the community to use them for fruit, herb, veg and flower growing.
