| Things I like | Real high street ID 9354 | Roman Road is not and never will be cosmetic. It is always a bit dirty and the shops are real shops that the diverse population enjoys. It wouldn’t be Roman Rd if it was full of delis or posh shops like Victoria park village. I like it how it is. It would be nice if there were less empty shops but as far as high streets go it’s pretty bustling at the weekend which I like. I do all my shopping locally if I can. The most noise was old buses before they were electric but now they are much quieter. | Ruth Herbert 15 Oct 21 | 51.5319,-0.0355768 |

| Things I don't like | Buildings in state of disrepair ID 8911 | These 2 or 3 buildings on the corner are in a shocking state of disrepair and have become an eyesore. Weeds growing from the balcony, poor shop signage and general unkempt appearance should be discouraged. We're not asking for much, just basic maintenance. The shops under the green bridge are a model to be followed. | Zaeem Maqsood 8 Jul 21 | 51.525,-0.0344948 |
| Things I don't like | Speeding Traffic ID 8910 | This stretch of Grove Road is ostensibly a 20mph zone - or at least that's what the road markings indicate. Yet traffic regularly speeds along this stretch at far higher speeds. It's dangerous and very noisy. Please put speed cameras here or some other measure(s) to limit the speed. Thank you | Zaeem Maqsood 8 Jul 21 | 51.5268,-0.0362019 |
| Things I don't like | Dog mess everywhere ID 8569 | I love Bow, but the amount of dog mess that is just all over the streets is beyond belief, is there something that can be done. This is obviously not specific to this location on the map | Timothy Angelini 27 Apr 21 | 51.5357,-0.0293541 |
| Things I don't like | Lack of bin storage on Eden Way ID 8568 | This is quite a nice street but the lack of bin storage mean that wheelie bins are out 7 days a week. | Matthew Dunlevy 27 Apr 21 | 51.5362,-0.0286567 |
| Things I don't like | Speeding ID 8555 | Could anything be done to slow down traffic here and to stop people using it to race along to the a12 - but not speed bumps! They are terrible for people with disabilities and their spines | Tina Koch 23 Apr 21 | 51.5357,-0.027895 |

| Things I don't like | Skew bridge ID 8550 | Cars go too fast, pavement is too narrow. it's a busy thoroughfare with kids to/from the park and really unsafe. does it take a fatality before it's changed? if the road cannot be closed, can a traffic light be installed to slow traffic down. they do not see the pedestrian crossing and often speed through it. | Vicki Kerr 23 Apr 21 | 51.5342,-0.0376689 |
| Things we need to work on | Bare concrete wall at end of flats on Viking Close ID 8511 | This looks uninspiring and unattractive from the street. Perhaps a mural or artwork of some kind could brighten and inspire? | Holly McAlpine 16 Apr 21 | 51.5305,-0.033651 |
| Things I don't like | Pedestrian Only Zones ID 8334 | This is my views :- > Restrict these areas and you'll only see JUST locals. > Closures of many business/shops due to less footfall as very few customers will like to come to areas where there are restrictions to their entry/ > restrictions to parking/ > and other entry charges to area concerned. > shopkeepers will have to raise prices to make up losses and possibly moving their bussineses elsewhere. > The streets will start to become ghost towns. > The covid-19 side effecte are not going away anytime soon even with vaccines updated to all elegibles, it may be ongoing like flu jabs. > There will be side effects if new ULEZ soon in our areas. > Who wil Visit us here in Roman Road when they will have to pay £15 ULEZ, £5.50 boundry Charge, and possible £15 congestion charge to visit here??? for a day out here > Plus there is no easy parking, very high parking charge where available and as its residential only parking in most places they will have to find parking far away from shops. > Well local residents will agree with your plans but businesses do not run or cannot survive upon just local residents. They need footfall, volume of customers, mixture of various businesses i.e. choices to come and visit local shops. I end here, but think it over, if you want local area to remain competitive and survive. Thanks for reading my concerns. | Mr Masod 21 Mar 21 | 51.5339,-0.0280659 |
| Things I don't like | Underused, wasted space ID 7597 | This feels like such a missed opportunity - it is a central location and has the potential to be used much more dynamically for the wider community.

| Things we need to work on | Lyal Road trees - can we have some more? ID 7594 | Trees along the road are a bit sparse.

| Things I like | Bethnal Green East ID 7000 | The pub is actually in Bethnal Green and is aimed at the district but must stress the regulars are mainly from Globe Town rather than Bethnal Green and is also run by a local family from Globe Town to further add to the very uniqueness of the pub | 30 Mar 20 | 51.5347,-0.0555646 |

| Things I like | The boundary ID 6996 | Bessy Street and Globe Terrace (until the pub) is a suitable boundary between Bethnal Green and Globe Town, and back behind the pub to the back of the Camel before the boundary returns to Globe Road.

| Things I don't like | Rat run ID 6120 | Motor vehicles cut down Gernon Road from Grove Road to Roman Road & vice versa to avoid the traffic lights at Grove Road & Roman Road crossroads. Closing Gernon Road at one end (like on Morgan Street) would stop this & also make the surrounding block of flats etc a nicer environment. Closing the road at 1 end would add minimum extra time to people's journeys who live in the estate. | Iain Marshall 21 Oct 19 | 51.5299,-0.0391817 |

| Things I don't like | Cars speeding ID 5488 | Dangerous, noisy, and scary to people crossing roads, pedestrians and cyclists | Simon Levey 6 Apr 19 | 51.5285,-0.0312316 |
| Things I don't like | Car park ID 5128 | This is completely underutilised space, it's hardly ever full - can you make it a green or have farmer's markets on it or something | Gareth Newman 11 Mar 19 | 51.5324,-0.0328903 |
| Things I don't like | Congestion and noise ID 5127 | I live on this road and it's a rat run. It's narrow which also results in jams and incidents of road rage as people get stuck | Gareth Newman 11 Mar 19 | 51.5296,-0.0312896 |
| Things I like | Palm Tree pub ID 5121 | cosy and lovely old school local institution | Linda Savini 8 Mar 19 | 51.5292,-0.040736 |
| Things I don't like | Estate agents ID 5120 | Where's the Chersterfield cafe gone? such a disappointment | Linda Savini 8 Mar 19 | 51.5313,-0.0388811 |
| Things I like | Anytime Fitness gym ID 5119 | Great environment, super cool staff | Linda Savini 8 Mar 19 | 51.5325,-0.0292367 |
| Things we need to work on | George Davies ID 4041 | Resuurect the George Davies is Innocent wall graffiti. East End history | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5268,-0.0270474 |
| Things we need to work on | Dirty Bridge ID 4040 | Could be better. Welcome to Bow or something. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5277,-0.022949 |
| Things I don't like | Anti Social Behaviour ID 4039 | Often people hanging about outside shops. Probably harmless but to the uninitated could look intimidating. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5272,-0.0256205 |
| Things we need to work on | Interesting Street ID 4038 | A bit unloved. Could be better. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5286,-0.0218546 |
| Things I like | School ID 4037 | a lovely old school down a reasonablly well kept street. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.528,-0.0301051 |
| Things I don't like | Bins ID 4036 | Bins are closed up for some reason? | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5288,-0.030266 |
| Things I like | Sikh Temple ID 4035 | An interesting building. Not very well signposted. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5283,-0.0283241 |
| Things I don't like | Rear of shops ID 4034 | Untidy and poor maintenance and hygiene. Bins often left overlfowing etc. Take away has food waste on open display. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5289,-0.0307703 |
| Things I don't like | small waste ground near large block of flats ID 4033 | Uninspiring. Poorly maintained. Used for dogs to defecate and often not cleared up. | Lee Sargent 23 Aug 18 | 51.5284,-0.030781 |
| Things we need to work on | Coborn Road Station ID 4027 | Old entrance to station is chained up with a padlock. Massive build up of rubbish beheind that door. Understand access restricted due to closeness of tracks but entrance could be highlighted as part of heritage, and door strengthed or replaced. Whats behind the door - who knows but is a big space and I think some people create anti social behaviour there due to rubbish, beer cans etc one can see through the doorway. Safety issues as well as so close to tracks. | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5291,-0.0317037 |
| Things I don't like | Corner Space ID 4026 | Often used for dumping of rubbish. Council says Old Ford (Clarion) manage it but they do little to upkeep it and a worker told me its council responsibility. Someone needs to upkeep it and not wash hands of it. | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5295,-0.0322616 |
| Things I don't like | Litter problem ID 4025 | Constant litter on corner of Antill Road/Coborn Road. Worse on bin collection day. | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5297,-0.0323582 |
| Things we need to work on | Play area ID 4024 | Underused and neglected basketball court kids play area. Could be a better facility or tunred into something people will use. Maybe owned and run by Old Ford Housing (now Clarion??) | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5282,-0.0361133 |
| Things I don't like | Cherrywood Close Square ID 4023 | Needs more dog waste bins as a couple of waste bins present but not really suitable for dog walkers. There is one but it is sealed up. Its on land owned by the Old Ford Housing Group so maybe not TH property. | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5288,-0.0336349 |
| Things I don't like | Selywyn Green ID 4022 | A nice little green but needs tlc. Needs more facilities for dog walkers (ie dog waste bins) plus upgrade of existing bins as often hanging open and overflowing. Grass and shrubery is also bit tired as well. Could have a dog free bit as well that could encourage more people to use the park with small children or picnics as grass is often fouled. Would need more park visit from TH to keep nice. | Lee Sargent 8 Aug 18 | 51.5306,-0.0323153 |
| Things I don't like | Fairfield Road Expensive House Prices ID 3787 | The area generally is affected by very high house prices to buy and rent. | Sarah Bland 25 Jun 18 | 51.5293,-0.0205608 |
| Things we need to work on | Plant more trees to reduce air and noise pollution ID 3785 | The road is highly polluted, this can be significantly reduced by planting more trees to absorb the pollution. | Sarah Bland 25 Jun 18 | 51.5311,-0.0223696 |
| Things I don't like | Pollution on Fairfield Road scores 5 out of 6 ID 3784 | BBC Pollution hotspot tracker "This is higher than the average for Tower Hamlets, which is 4 out of 6 (lightly polluted). A rating of 5 means there is a very strong chance of nitrogen dioxide levels exceeding the annual legal limit. These areas occupy just 1 in 635 GB postcodes, mostly in city centres or immediately near to motorways. Residents should monitor air quality forecasts and manage exposure appropriately. However, it is still healthier to be outside exercising in these areas than it is to be inside avoiding pollution." | Sarah Bland 25 Jun 18 | 51.5311,-0.022561 |
| Things we need to work on | Business Centre ID 3781 | Landmark building that could be significantly improved and opened up for community functions. | Sarah Bland 25 Jun 18 | 51.5283,-0.0195694 |
| Things I don't like | Diesel trains parked over night ID 3780 | Trains are often left parked with the engines turned on. This is particularly on a Sunday evening and into the night. This causes a considerable amount of noise and increases pollution directly adjacent to a residential area. | Sarah Bland 25 Jun 18 | 51.5306,-0.0219083 |
| Things I don't like | Rail bridge and underpass ID 3579 | Dark and dirty route under the bridge. Overflowing bins, rubbish tipping and graffiti. Great opportunity for painting the bridge, perhaps supergraphic of the street name as has been applied in Brixton / Camden Road. Work required to light the underpass, to make a positive feature rather than an intimidating space. Good examples of lighting schemes around London Bridge and Vauxhall could be used as precedent. Un-overlooked underpass not a good location for bins. | Nicola Ibbotson 3 May 18 | 51.5291,-0.0316286 |
| Things I don't like | Inadequate Visitor Cycle Parking ID 3550 | There is inadequate visitor cycle parking along Roman Road. Adding additional Sheffield stands would encourage sustainable transport. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5316,-0.0365424 |
| Things I like | Selwyn Green ID 3549 | Selwyn Green is a brilliant piece of green space in this little area, though it could be enhanced even further to encourage its use more. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5304,-0.0327283 |
| Things I don't like | One Way System - including for cyclists ID 3548 | The one way system is fine, but connectivity should have been retained in both directions for cyclists. Any future changes in the area should retain cyclist travel in both directions to encourage sustainable travel choices. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5298,-0.0326747 |
| Things I don't like | Front Garden Boundary Alterations ID 3547 | Throughout the area, despite the Conservation Area status, many homes have altered their front boundary treatment, not only affecting the uniformity of the repeated house typology, but also using materials, such as red brick walls, or crazing paving, and other floor treatments, that are completely at odds and out of keeping with the conservation area. Strong enforcement should be in place to prevent this. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5287,-0.0361133 |
| Things we need to work on | Dead Frontages ID 3546 | The garages, blank flank walls, and high hedges in this location along both sides, lead to a large stretch of dead frontage as you enter this street. This could benefit from enhancements to improve the pedestrian experience. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5283,-0.0371325 |
| Things we need to work on | Pedestrian Route under Railway Arch ID 3545 | The pedestrian route under the railway arch could benefit from a mural or lighting installation to improve the pedestrian experience along this short stretch. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5278,-0.0371915 |
| Things we need to work on | Road layout at end of Morgan Street ID 3544 | The dead end for cars at the end of Morgan Street is really good, however installation of small drop kerbs to encourage and enable easy cyclist connectivity would improve this junction. (Albeit it is acknowledged that this can sometimes encourage motorcyclists to cut through) | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5267,-0.0359255 |
| Things I don't like | Fast Food Takeaways ID 3543 | The excess of Fast Food Takeaways around the station is incredibly negative for numerous reasons. The proximity of these vendors to the station encourages unhealthy patterns of eating. However, the shops also have other negative impacts such as constant smells from extractors onto the main road, but also litter around these shops. Further fast food takeaways in this area should be discouraged. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5253,-0.0337797 |
| Things I don't like | Pavement width adjacent to Grove Road (Stop H) ID 3542 | The width of the pavement adjacent to the bus stop on the eastern side of Grove Road here is far too narrow, when there are many passengers waiting. This section of road in general would benefit from 'de-cluttering' as there are successive street lights, trees and tree pits, bus stops and signs, litter bins, bollards etc. all taking up space, which could be rationalised. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5257,-0.0350082 |
| Things I like | Infill Development at Hitchin Square ID 3541 | The infill housing development in this location is high quality and the public realm improvements that have been delivered alongside are positive, particularly given the close proximity to Roman Road. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5325,-0.034579 |
| Things I don't like | Pedestrian and Cyclist Bridge ID 3540 | This pedestrian and cycle crossing over the A12 attempts to improve connectivity over the hostile A12. Whilst the concept of a bridge itself is helpful, the actual reality is that the design of this bridge discourages movement over this section at night, because of safety concerns. Development directly adjacent to either end would help to improve the perception of safety for those moving across the bridge at night. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5361,-0.0254864 |
| Things I don't like | Unsafe and Hostile Junction ID 3539 | This junction is particularly hostile and unsafe for pedestrians. The A12 presents a significant barrier for pedestrian and cyclist movement, not only to the green space of the Olympic Park and all of its health and leisure facilities, but also to a significant area of employment within close proximity in Stratford Town Centre, but the current access discourages patterns of sustainable travel. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5336,-0.0222355 |
| Things I don't like | McDonalds ID 3538 | The Mcdonalds on the corner of Bow Roundabout is a poor quality building. The form and scale of the building is out of keeping with the context, and the excessive hard standing and car parking around this low rise, inefficient use of space also detracts from the quality of the public realm around this roundabout, which is already a particularly hard and hostile environment for pedestrians and cyclists despite the upgrades. This site could benefit from redevelopment, subject to a sensitive and sympathetic design with a strong emphasis on improving the public realm. | Natalya Palit 23 Apr 18 | 51.5297,-0.0148594 |
| Things we need to work on | Sign needs replacing/updating ID 3529 | The sign has been out of action for at least a year | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.536,-0.0340748 |
| Things we need to work on | Need more diversity to the market ID 3528 | The low quality, low cost clothes looks terrible and the stall owners often fight between each other. On many occasions racially abusive language has been heard. It would be good to limit the number of clothes stalls and bring in more diversity ie florist, arts and crafts, pottery, food, drinks etc | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.5329,-0.0301909 |
| Things I like | Gluten Free Bakery ID 3527 | A really wonderful gluten free bakery when the market is on! | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.5325,-0.0323153 |
| Things I don't like | Loitering ID 3526 | Large groups of males (mixed ages) hang out side the 'Sweet Treats' sweet shop - they can often fight and shout at each other until the very early hours of the morning. | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.5336,-0.0283831 |
| Things I don't like | Speeding cars ID 3525 | Cars speed through at all hours - there should be speed bumps/cameras/restrictions | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.5339,-0.0273812 |
| Things we need to work on | Market stalls setting up at 05:45 - 06:30am ID 3524 | On market days the metal market stalls can be heard (very loudly) even when the windows are shut. Set up can often be before 6am which is incredibly unsociable for those with families. The people who set up the market often shout very loudly (including bad language). Perhaps a later start for the metal stalls being pushed out or using rubber matting on the floor or different market stalls used? | A Smith 17 Apr 18 | 51.5332,-0.0279999 |
| Things I don't like | No more estate agents please ID 3519 | Sad to see the lovely Chesterfield close and be replaced by yet another estate agent. We have so many on Roman Road already. | Alicia Miller 9 Apr 18 | 51.5313,-0.0390315 |
| Things we need to work on | Frequent rubbish on road ID 3518 | Not every house along here has a front 'garden' with room to store an outdoor bin, but when unprotected rubbish bags get left out on the street overnight foxes tear them apart, often creating a massive, yucky mess. Is there any solution here that will also work for the homeowners? | Alicia Miller 9 Apr 18 | 51.5273,-0.0353515 |
| Things I like | Ye Olde Corner Shoppe ID 3517 | Great little local shop. Would love to see this retail space protected so that it doesn't one day get converted into flats! | Alicia Miller 9 Apr 18 | 51.527,-0.0352228 |
| Things I don't like | speeding cars ID 3515 | Illegal right turns from Antill Rd to Lyal Rd | jane Preston 8 Apr 18 | 51.5298,-0.0334796 |
| Things I don't like | DOG POOP ON THE ESTATE STREET ID 3514 | Local dog walkers let their dogs poop on the pavement and don't pick it up. Others put the poop in a bag and then drop it on the street rather than in the bin. | S HAQUE 8 Apr 18 | 51.5316,-0.0334311 |
| Things I don't like | Litter andno entertainment ID 3513 | The amount of litter in the area gives people no pride in their community and encourages more litter. It looks terrible. Also there are no shops in the areas, no cafes, no independents, nothing. It makes it very boring and less of a community. | Suzy Urch 8 Apr 18 | 51.5201,-0.0173378 |
| Things I don't like | Gated community ID 3508 | Bad for cohesion | Daniella Ricci 2 Apr 18 | 51.532,-0.0230509 |

| Things I don't like | Loss of pubs ID 3499 | Loss of pubs in the area mainly transformed into flats | Daniella Ricci 2 Apr 18 | 51.5298,-0.0208569 |
| Things we need to work on | Railway ID 3498 | All railway can be transformed into something else, like the Highline in New York | Daniella Ricci 2 Apr 18 | 51.5306,-0.0212753 |
| Things we need to work on | Need for Primary School ID 3497 | It has been promised by the LBTH, but so far nothing have changed | Daniella Ricci 2 Apr 18 | 51.5296,-0.0213236 |
| Things I don't like | The boundary ID 2869 | I agree with other comments that the boundary of this is divisive. Does nothing on the South side of the road matter to Bow? this seems rather short sighted. | Nicholas Caulkett 20 Feb 18 | 51.5249,-0.0297832 |
| Things we need to work on | Tutelage Court - cut off from Community ID 2809 | This redevelopment, being gated, is cut off from the rest of the community. Consequently, this does not help community cohesion. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5276,-0.0336081 |
| Things I don't like | Tree roots lifting pavements ID 2808 | Lichfield road has a large number of trees and narrow pavements. As the trees grow the paving is lifting and causing significant trip hazards. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5281,-0.0342014 |
| Things I don't like | Bus turn-around full and in need of TLC ID 2807 | Since the 25 bus route was revised this turn around is now full of buses that don't even work this street. This reaches the point that buses such as the 323, D6, D7, 277, 339 don't have room to pull in. Brick paving needs relaying in places. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5256,-0.0351895 |
| Things we need to work on | Proposed Speed Humps - need more here ID 2806 | The number of speed humps proposed here is not enough. One or two more are needed. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5264,-0.0365918 |
| Things I don't like | Lack of good-quality sheltered housing ID 2805 | There is a lack of good quality sheltered housing, so that older people can move and release family housing. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5281,-0.0317144 |
| Things I don't like | Cycle Route - hardly ever swept ID 2804 | The CS2 route is hardly ever swept and is awash with litter and dust most of the time | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5253,-0.0340533 |
| Things I don't like | Constant piles of Litter and Shop Refuse ID 2803 | The piles of rubbish from the shops here are excessive and near constant. Surely a better solution can be found. Underground bins? Compactor bins? | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5257,-0.035064 |
| Things we need to work on | Worry of over-development ID 2802 | There is much local concern that buildings such as Onyx House, the Territorial Army building and the Gateway Housing site will be redeveloped as some high-rise, high-profit developments. Keep it low-rise. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5256,-0.0333323 |
| Things I like | Prevalence of low-rise buildings here is a defining feature ID 2801 | One aspect of the MEOTRA area that makes it so special is the predominance of low-rise housing. This must be preserved. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5273,-0.0332379 |
| Things I don't like | Splitting of houses / Short term-lets ID 2800 | In the pursuit of profit, there is a growth in short-term lets, multiple occupancy and dividing of family homes into smaller flats. This leads to a rapid turnover of residents and consequently a reduction in community cohesion and neighbourliness. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5279,-0.0349674 |
| Things I don't like | Vehicles parking up and leaving engines running ID 2799 | TfL workers and Gateway Housing vehicles habitually park up in Rhonnda and Aberavon Roads. They often leave their engines running. TfL workers come and go at all hours (as they work nights on engineering works). Can't they use the tube? | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5259,-0.0333452 |
| Things I don't like | Mile End Junction ID 2798 | What a mess this is. The no right turns cause a major issue and lead to traffic crossing the junction twice to effect a right turn. This leads to extra traffic, noise and pollution and does not increase the safety of cyclists for whom the LEFT turns are the concern. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.525,-0.0347775 |
| Things I like | Mile End Park ID 2797 | This green space is one of the main positives of living in the area | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5259,-0.0378664 |
| Things I like | Rusty Bike - Great addition ID 2796 | This place is ideally located next to the station and does excellent Thai food. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5254,-0.0327444 |
| Things I don't like | Rat Running ID 2795 | When traffic on the A11 backs up cars use residential streets such as Aberavon, Morgan, Lichfield to avoid hold ups. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.527,-0.0344996 |
| Things I don't like | Airport Buses ID 2794 | Since the CS2U upgrade National Express, Terravision, Easybus and others use Grove Road/Roman Road instead of going along Whitechapel Road. This causes extra traffic, pollution and noise. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5265,-0.0358129 |
| Things I like | Vinarious ID 2793 | Welcome addition to the area for vinarious reasons | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5326,-0.0311705 |
| Things we need to work on | Bookshop or cinema would be a welcome addition ID 2792 | A bookshop or cinema would be nice in the area | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5256,-0.0335319 |
| Things I don't like | Grove Road road surface is appalling ID 2791 | This is well overdue for a resurface. Burdett Road was redone a couple of years ago and the difference is remarkable. A quiet, semi-porous tarmac nouveau should be used. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.527,-0.0362431 |
| Things we need to work on | Vegetable Garden - Is it ever used? ID 2790 | This patch of land has potential. It is set up as a space for older folk to get together and grow veg, but is it ever actually used? | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5261,-0.0358289 |
| Things we need to work on | ASB from youths on hippy crack and speeding in cars ID 2789 | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5266,-0.0367967 | |
| Things we need to work on | The Art Pavilion ID 2788 | This is a great space and has great potential as an Art s venue. Whilst there are a number of good exhibitions on each year, the place could be better utilised as a community space. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5269,-0.037832 |
| Things we need to work on | Onyx House: Underutilised inspiring building in a prime location. ID 2787 | This building was designed by the renowned architectural firm CZWG and is a landmark building that has been allowed to remain empty for a number of years. | John White 16 Feb 18 | 51.5254,-0.0338838 |
| Things I don't like | Cars Speeding ID 2776 | The amount of cars that use this road as a cut through, who regularly speed and there have been several crashes. It is used by several pedestrians who have come through from Tom Thumb's Arch and it could benefit from speed bumps. | Emma Marriott 13 Feb 18 | 51.5309,-0.0239575 |
| Things we need to work on | Walkway to Tom Thumbs Arch ID 2775 | Used regularly by commuters from Bow Road, this road is poorly lit and has limited CCTV. There have been thefts during the middle of the day despite the police station being located on the same street! | Emma Marriott 13 Feb 18 | 51.5283,-0.0236785 |
| Things I don't like | Number 25 buses parked up - blocking stops ID 2774 | The number 25 bus parks up in Grove Road regularly. It isn't even on the route. They frequently park up at bus stops in 2s and 3s and it means those waiting at the stops are often not seen by approaching drives | John White 12 Feb 18 | 51.5274,-0.0366604 |
| Things I like | Parade of shops has improved over last few years ID 2773 | The Pizza Room, Coffee Room and Greedy Cow are welcome additions to this small parade of shops. The kebab shop is well used by policemen and cabbies which is a seal of approval. | John White 12 Feb 18 | 51.5258,-0.0351584 |
| Things I don't like | Not enough Trees in Grove Road ID 2772 | Grove Road is remarkable for having so few trees, which is ironic given its name. More trees would help fight pollution, provide shade, reduce traffic noise and add to the general well-being of the local population | John White 12 Feb 18 | 51.5271,-0.03636 |
| Things we need to work on | Holy Trinity Church - Cemetery needs "greening" ID 2759 | The graveyard area surrounding the former Holy Trinity Church could be a wonderful wildlife zone which would enliven the day of those walking past along either Lichfield Road or Morgan St. It is an under-utilised space. | John White 11 Feb 18 | 51.5276,-0.0342357 |
| Things I don't like | Art Pavilion Lake - needs some TLC ID 2758 | This pond is in need of some TLC. It has leaked for several years and the yellow hose topping it up with tap water is almost a permanent fixture.

| Things I don't like | The boundary of this neighbourhood plan ID 2435 | Other I only found out about this scheme yesterday and although generally I'm all for community initiatives (well, not including lynchings) this one seems ill thought-through. As someone who loves Bow and lives at it's heart - yet outside this regeneration zone - I can foresee that the project risks introducing further polarisation. Bow Road's intense traffic already splits the poorest from the wealthiest enclaves. Why add to the fracturing of our community in this way? There are massive opportunities (St Clement's, the redevelopment of the banks of the Lea, re-establishment of Bromley-by-Bow High St) to begin joining the shattered bits of Bow up. This scheme moves the centre of Bow half a mile North. | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5265,-0.0194407 |
| Things I like | ID 2436 | Welcoming I Love Roman Road market, there is a great atmosphere and you can pick up excellent bargains. I do not want the market to change and become gentrified and expensive. We can go to Broadway Market or Chatsworth Road for that.

| Things I don't like | Playground ID 2442 | Unwelcoming I live just round the corner from this playground but prefer to take my two year old to the playgrounds in Victoria Park. There are often older kids hanging out and climbing on the kids equipment. They are very loud and shouty and my little one is scared of them. I find it uncomfortable and struggle to create a nice playing atmosphere. But I recon they are there because there is nowhere else for them to hang out. So where can they go? | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5338,-0.024848 |
| Things we need to work on | General Point ID 2443 | I have a general comment: in the list of ideas you mentioned, one was placing restrictions on fast food restaurants (and bookies). One of the best things about Bow is the diversity of the neighbourhood; there is a wide breadth of incomes across different members of our society and I don't believe it is fair for those of us with higher incomes to push out food options or shops that cater for those who are not as fortunate as us, even if we think that such places don't provide wholesome food. I think it is really important that Roman Road continues to have diverse shops and food options that reflect the tastes (and incomes) of the whole community, rather than those of middle-class people like me (much as I'm thrilled by the arrival of a deli, etc). This is a risk, especially when those of us who become active in planning decisions are predominantly middle class. I would be very interested to hear what areas or roads elsewhere in London the Trust sees as positive analogues for where the Roman Road should be going. I personally do not think that Victoria Park Village should be a model for the Roman Road, in respect to the diversity of the shops and restaurants, as they are nearly all catering for a high-income clientele. Thanks for doing this, and keep up the good work. | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5316,-0.036478 |

| Things I like | Cafes, restaurants and shops ID 2463 | Inspiring,Welcoming I believe there potential for Roman Road to be an attractive destination for tourists. I believe the website http://romanroadlondon.com/ should be used more actively for this purpose - practical steps should include (1) make sure new cafes/restaurants are aware of opportunities to use the website (2) to add content specifically for visitors (e.g. develop a guided walk around the area / include local art gallery listings / reviews) (3) optimise web-search terms so, for instance, if a tourist searches for 'East London' from their hotel in Victoria, the roman road website is listed to them. | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5321,-0.0335598 |

| Things I don't like | Victoria Park Festivals ID 2472 | Neglected,Other,Unwelcoming Vicky Park has been absolutely ruined by the 1st festival of the summer and there are still 2 festivals to go. Festivals make a lot of money for the council (I understand £100,000 per festival), which no doubt is needed but aren't there better, less antisocial way of raising funds than putting up gigantic walls, making it inaccessible for the local community and quite frankly trampling it to the point of ruin, spoiling it for those of us who live here? The size of these festivals get bigger each year! Let's remind ourselves that Victoria park was given to the people of East London to improve their health and wellbeing.

Are there plans to put flower beds or some other non-mud surface? | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5306,-0.0333881 |
| Things I don't like | Noisy Roman Road traffic ID 2511 | My only real problem with the area is how fast and noisy a small handful of vehicles are, whether it's souped up BMW's racing past late at night or overly loud motorbikes from the tattoo shop owners - my entire home faces / borders Roman Road and it constantly disturbs my sleep!

| Things I don't like | Festivals on the Park ID 2524 | Unwelcoming,Other Most of the summer, this section of the park gets boarded and shut due to festivals.This causes a lot of problems for local residents: 1- when the park is boarded it's not possible to cut across the park to get to/or from the Village or to Victoria Park Road. A trip that would take 10 minutes, forces residents to walk around the park to conduct basic daily routines, taking at least 25 minutes to walk to any of those destinations. 2- The view of the park is damaged and it blocks the light 3- It is during the summer and the good weather that local residents want to enjoy the park for picnics, walks and outdoor living. Instead it is not accessible for long periods of time during the best weather. 4- The noise levels. During festival season one can't live outdoor or open windows due to the noise. 5- The littering. A particular example of this was the Boishaka Mela festival where there were loads of food stalls. People dropped all the litter and plastic on the park and that flew into the canal and the residential areas. The state of the park after that festival was despicable. 6- Damaged caused to the turf and the park roads. Last year after one of the festivals the turf was so damaged due to the rain and weight of the installations that the council had to board the park and write to the neighbours apologising. It took months to repair, and that section was unusable during the summer months. 7- Roads leading to the park. An example is Gunmakers lane. During the festival period the trees on the road got broken. Roads leading to the festivals get damaged and littered. 8- No money from the festivals seems to be put back into the park. Trees that break are never replaced, and some monuments and areas in the park could be better maintained and restored. 9- No money from the festivals seems to have gone into benefiting the local community. There have to be other ways of raising funds that are less intrusive and damaging. Why not create a flower center or gla | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5362,-0.0342894 |

It'd be great to have more commercial opportunity and draw in Bow. If we want to keep things lively and creative in Bow, it's important that those keeping things lively and doing things that are welcomed in the area have a place to do them. There just aren't enough places to work in the area. Office space costs are through the roof and space is increasingly at a premium. Space Studios, Chisenhale and the Bow Arts Trust are great, but we need about 100 more of them to fill the demand. I don't mean the £500/desk co-working spaces you find now dotted throughout central London, rather office space and studio working artists spaces to run proper business and allow work to happen (without a massive amount of startup money). | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5321,-0.033989 |

There is a horrible yellow hose pipe just lying there. Looks like a typical example of urban decay when it could be so lovely. At least tell people what is going on if you're having trouble filling the ponds. I would like to see them full of water and life. Also I don't recall the wind turbine ever having turned in the years I have lived in E3. Wonder how much that cost and the point of it? | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5298,-0.0408323 |
| Things we need to work on | Tredegar conservation area ID 2615 | Neglected I appreciate this is on people's private property, however I would like to see householders encouraged to sweep out the areas in front of their homes on a regular basis. Maybe they could be informed what day(s?) of the week their road is swept and they could sweep into the gutter - or heaven forfend - put the mess in to a bin themselves. And keep the pavement clean outside their homes. This would instantly make the area look cared for. We could encourage people to do this in the spirit of the people who swept up after the London riots. | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5311,-0.0318646 |

| Things we need to work on | ID 2631 | Other It would be great to see more greenery around here, maybe a community garden in parts of the estate or some tree planting?

| Things I don't like | High street in the Roman road market ID 2636 | Boring,Unwelcoming,Low Quality,Uninspiring I find the stretch of Roman road where the market is held not particularly safe at night. I believe this is due to there being no businesses besides fast food and off licenses open late at night. This makes the area a ghost town with the odd group of youths hanging around. My main gripe with the area is the lack of restaurants. While there are a couple worth visiting, there is little choice considering the density and multicultural make up of the area. It has probably been said before but I feel we must introduce street food into Roman road market. I'm not talking about imitating Broadway market, but there should be on offer good quality, affordable street food to draw in more visitors and attract more locals to the market. I'm also in favour of a cap in the number | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5325,-0.0310278 |

| Things I don't like | Safe street play & commute for children ID 2638 | Unwelcoming,Boring I'd like to bring back street play for children. It would be lovely and a great community building initiative if we could close some of our streets to non resident cars, at certain times after school and during week-ends, to allow our children outside to play out in the street with their neighbours. Wrights Road would certainly benefit from this, as I'm sure other streets would too. | User 15 Dec 17 | 51.5336,-0.031414 |
