The grass area at the end of Poplar Close, leading up to the athletics track entrance off Blackbridge, has been churned up.

I’ve written to the council parks and open space department to ask about the possibility of planting or stones being placed to prevent driving on the grass. Bollards would be too expensive at this point.

If we do any planting it will be in the autumn, but in the meantime I will be in touch with the planners for the Blackbridge project, as this area will be part of the project. We need to see what the plans are, and then look at any changes that need to be made.
