The school is on Portland Road, one of the main east-west roads into the city. The high volume of traffic has caused rising levels of pollution in the playground, a serious concern for the children’s health.
The School’s Parent Teacher Association approached us and asked for help with selecting planting for a hedge to reduce pollution and screen the playground and for help with fundraising.
We offered advice and donated to the planting funds and a lovely thick evergreen hedge was planted in November that will both protect the children and make a much needed green addition to one of the city’s less leafy areas.
Funding bids
We are still waiting to hear if a submission we made as one of ten cities under the umbrella of the Trees for Cities ‘Forgotten Places’ project has been successful.
