London judge Julia Barfield said:

'The range of proposals was particularly impressive and it is clear from the great ideas we saw that people had really had a lot of fun with it. The shortlist is a great provocation for everyone to think about the use of space in their local area. The challenge now is to try and realise at least one.'
