Proposed budget

GBP 15,000

Description

Romsey Place: This area contains several small green spaces. It is overgrown and looks dilapidated, In one sense this is good because it provides an area of natural habitat. But it could also be a colourful area with wild space and some clever planting that could provide a sense of well-being.

By adding a further double seat and some rose’s and other hardy but larger flowering bushes we could turn this whole area into a colourful and welcoming place that would benefit the biodiversity and sense of community well being.

With the help of our officers, local councillors could work out a scheme that really benefited the community.

This area is a coming of the ways from Fairfax Road, Catherine Street, Sedgewick Street and Cromwell Road. It is a cycle route and route to St Phillips School and Romsey Rec frequently used by local people.

This was raised by the public in Romsey and is supported by the councillors.

We may even be able to set up a group of local people to maintain the area and this in itself would improve the sense of community in Romsey.

Would be great to transform this area from the current rather disjointed and messy meeting of roads into a nice green area with its own identity.
    Good idea - a resting place between the allotment and home.

    This is a somewhat neglected area of Romsey and could be vastly improved to give it greater usage by the diverse local people. It would also make it a more attractive route for those passing through. It could become a lovely place to sit, relax and pass the time of day. I suggest scented shrubs requiring little attention. Also lavender for the bees. Could go alongside the roses. Take out the ivy to let the current roses thrive. Some of the trees would benefit from hard pruning to raise their canopy. Also 2/3 seater benches. Currently there is only 1 wooden seat.

    @Gill Westland we could have a work party to help to prepare the area
      It would be great to give this some attention. There are well established trees so the planting would need to be chosen to take that into consideration.
