I agree that everything should be underpinned by sustainability. All features of a new Mitcham's corner should be totally ecological in their design. For example planting wild flowers which is good for the environment and great visually. Large areas of wild flowers(like those on Jesus Green this summer)affect people's behaviour in a positive way,improving sociability and reducing tensions.This has been done successfully in other UK cities. Also planting trees in groups enables then to support each other and improves the air we breathe. Plant more of them in a large central grass area,rather than having isolated trees surrounded by paving.

There is a surprisingly diverse ecology in this area, including foxes, bats, herons, kingfisher and sparowhawks, which can be encouraged.

Planters for trees and flowers are welcome
Building in nesting facilities, especially for swifts and kestrels, would be especially welcome

I agree with the need to radically alter the gyratory system. The current situation is terrifying for cyclists forced to change lanes within fast-moving traffic, and pedestrians, e.g. crossing Croftholme Lane without zebra crossing or visibility. Traffic also divides shops and other services, losing all sense of a neighbourhood. What cycle lanes there are simply stop in the middle of roads, or are used for car parking.
Proposals
There needs to be provision for all buses (including park and ride) to stop in a coherent line, so everyone can continue their journey.
Sufficient separation of pedestrians and traffic. The safety of children, both physical safety and air quality, is paramount
Planters for trees and flowers are welcome
Sitting-out areas are most popular near the river, rather than on roads
