Council bosses have last week unveiled a ‘micro-park’ in Walworth – which looks like a plantpot in a bench.
As we report, officials say the parklet is an “exciting idea” to tackle the climate crisis.
But some social media users disagree.
Love a parklet – oh no wait that's a bench guys https://t.co/TmOUaSLFLG

An account dedicated to what it calls “s**t planning” has seized upon the parklet as an example of poor design by the local authority.
“Southwark Council bringing us back from the brink of a global climate crisis with a plant pot stuck in a bench!” it says. The comment has got five hundred likes and counting.
