Your local councillor team has held discussions over the last few months to improve the planting of the prominent beds at Churchfields Rec following the dying back of the annual summer bedding plants. This accords with the council’s vision for a more sustainable Elmbridge with improved biodiversity and they have now been planted with lower maintenance grasses and flowering shrubs to provide an attractive display all year round.
This is just a cynical act of cost cutting dressed up in the myth of sustainability.
Such a shame you cannot be honest with the local residents.
So pleased to see this long overdue move towards sustainable planting.
