Bricknell Avenue grass verge planting

John Fareham and John Abbott report that plans are being prepared for the refurbishment of the plants in Bricknell Avenue grass verges. The Council’s horticultural staff have been asked to provide costings for replanting individual beds on the Bricknell Avenue central reservation. The idea is twofold: firstly to increase the amount of shrubbery in the central reservation on an incremental basis, and secondly to provide additional shrubbery around the rocks that have been placed at certain key points to prevent further damage to the central reservation from drivers not taking a precise enough line at the various turning points. We will be working closely with the officers to secure the most harmonious possible combination of plants in terms of visual amenity.
