Scheme to help enhance street in Oswestry
An initiative by Oswestry Business Improvement District to improve and enhance Church Street took another step forward this week with the introduction of several new planters and street furniture.
The planters and seating provide the finishing touches to the scheme, said BID manager Adele Nightingale, who hopes the changes will make for an even more attractive place to shop and dwell in town.
“We really want to thank the staff from Kier for their patience and support in situating the planters, and preparing them for planting," she said.
"Also, thanks to Gillhams for kindly looking after the teams; to Louise from Environmental Associates for all her hard work overseeing the planting; and an especial thank you to the Oswestry in Bloom team for doing an amazing job planting up with great care and enthusiasm!”
Tim Morris, co-owner of Church Street bookshop Booka, welcomed the improvements.
“It was great to see the new planters going in,” he said. “It all helps to green up the town centre, making it an even more pleasant environment for everyone.”
Following the planters' installation, Oswestry BID plan to clean up the area, then, once the planting has bedded in, will be adding bark and capping off the planters.
