Rome Avenue Community Garden

The proposed site is currently a neglected space to the rear of houses at Rome Avenue. The space suffers from anti social behaviour including motorbike use, regular fly tipping and is currently uninviting and difficult for the local community to use.The project aims to:
-Become an important resource for the community as a venue for a wide range of local activity.
-Create new wildlife habitats and with trees, fruit hedges and areas of wildflower meadows planted.
-Increase the numbers of recorded birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife using the site.
-Increase informal recreation, social, educational and fruit picking opportunities for local residents via the new community garden.
-Improve the health and well being of local residents by providing a pleasant environment with informal recreation opportunities.
-Address anti-social behaviour and flytipping issues in the area through design and greater community use and ownership of the site and improved environmental and maintenance arrangements
