Two pieces of work started at the entrance to the estate on Monday ……..
1. Greenfields dug 3 pits near the central free-standing pillar, with a view to establishing whether there’s a need to underpin it.
2. Landscaping of the boundary from the entrance round to where the green railings on Hatherley Lane start. Plan is to transplant the hawthorn bushes from here to inside the estate, near Colesbourne Road (as that area’s quite bare). Then plant laurels inside the wire mesh fence, which will grow through the fence, appearing to form a natural boundary. Then the narrow strip between the path and the fence will be grass seeded and white daffodils planted.
