Following recent safety works, the roundabout verge has now been cleared. Grass seed is being laid to help restore a tidy, green appearance.
Soon, a short hedgerow will follow. This will add structure, support wildlife, and keep the space looking cared for—without blocking sightlines or needing frequent cuts.
We know the area looked bare just after the shrubs were removed. But this is part of a wider plan to improve safety and reduce overgrowth. The old shrubs had become difficult to manage and were starting to block views for drivers and pedestrians.
The space will remain green, low-maintenance, and safe.
Thank you for your patience while the improvements are finished.
Cllr Steve Heyes
Vice Chairman of Council and Parks & Open Spaces
