Warwick Street Green

This green plot of Council land at junction of Warwick Rd & Greengate Lane - local residents and community groups have come together to protect this green space - which was until recently up for sale by auction - thankfully the Council have agreed to cancel the sale - but it now in our hands to protect and enhance this land.

The following community groups are involved - 
  • Prestwich Environmental Forum
  • Clean Team Prestwich
  • St Mary's Local Councillors
Phase 1 - Planting

On Saturday 17th September  we held a Warwick Street Clean up day, in which we: 
  • Cut and clear out the brambles next to the wall
  • Litter removal
  • Ready the foundations for planting beds 

Phase 2 - Installation of community assets

This may include
  • Low maintenance planting
  • Raised flower beds 
  • the installation of a bench with memorial plaque to help people to unwind and enjoy nature at this spot
  • New barrel bin
  • Bat / Bird boxes

Phase 3 - Ideas still in progress 

We are looking for sustainable ideas that could be installed here such as:
  • Community artwork or sculpture
  • Notice / nature board
  • Community space
