As part of feedback on the Lea Bridge Area Framework you told us you’d like to see like more planting and community greening projects in the area. The green space opposite Sybourn Early Years Excellence Centre on Perth Road was identified as a location for some of these opportunities.
The council along with architects what if: projects and designers Meristem Design have worked with a group of local primary school students to help design the nature garden to be enjoyed by the local community. The garden includes:
New trees
Low level planting including shrubs and flowers that encourage biodiversity and attract nature.
A small accessible enclosure suitable for learning about nature and habitats. This could be used by school students in the future and includes logs for sitting and will also include a water tank for watering plants.
We also spoke to Perth Road residents to let them know about the project and get their feedback.
A robust maintenance plan is in place for the new planting, including the opportunity for students and residents to get involved.
