              The road to nowhere

                 Action plan

1. General litter pick of all areas, 
2. ½ moon footpaths  
3. Mark out/ shape new shrub bed/s
4. Remove grass and turn over soil, rake and prepare for planting
5. Plant shrubs (Id Shrubs; school classroom project)
6. Label with ID sheets (school classroom project)
7. Tree planting
8. Build small raised planters (with school construction instructor)
9. Rake new soil areas
10. Plant trees / woodland
11. Install new log benches

Long-term plan

Cut and redesign the road to nowhere, by reducing the old roadway down to a random shape footpath, removing and filling in the unwonted sides with topsoil and then seeding the area with wildflower grass seed mix. The grass mix could be extended to the right hand side of the roadway, incorporating a new site for woodland planting.
