Grimsby sustainable street furniture start-up Doing R Bit has completed its first contract in London.
A parklet - a structure that transforms a single street space from roadside parking to community use - has been delivered for The Camden Clean Air Initiative. Major city success is high on the wishlist for managing director Dave Spencer, who ditched retirement after being inspired to act on sustainability initiatives by his grandson.
Having forged a career leading a company that excelled in cycle storage facilities, he is now aiming to breathe further green life into urban areas, providing car-free solutions while cleaning up with the actual fabric of the additions. And with London the forerunner in awareness of what congestion can bring, he hopes to build further on the initial project in Belsize Park.
