Street side meadows

To increase biodiversity and to encourage pollinators in our borough, we have dedicated some road areas into ‘urban meadows’.

These areas are excluded from the regular grass cutting schedule to encourage a vast range of flowers often found in natural meadows.

These include some more commonly known plants as dandelions, buttercups, daisies, poppies and cornflowers.

The longer grass provides cover for insects, birds and other small mammals during breeding season.  

The meadows will be left until the end of the summer to ensure the plants have gone to seed. This will then encourage re-growth the following year.
