3/4 Green spaces
The lower ‘Garden’ has been left vacant and overgrown for over 15 years – impacting the experience of people using the footpaths that surround the site. It presents a unique opportunity to create a public green space that can host community-led growing activities and enhance biodiversity for the area.
Current Issues Highlighted
- Overgrown space with poor maintenance and issues of anti-social behaviour and drug use
- Presence of invasive plant species across the site
- Immediate area lacks quality green spaces
- Fly tipping and casual waste pollution across the site
Proposed Interventions
- Improvements to landscaping with native species and creation of wildflower meadows
- Habitats for wildlife - birds, bees and other insects
- Creation of mini allotments for growing food and education
