Street Planter Protocol
Following the One Planet Living group’s ‘Green Asset Infrastructure Audit’ in Hanover, and the October 2016 Public Meeting ‘Greening Hanover’, there was community interest in renovating neglected street planters. Following discussions between Hanover Action, local Councillor David Gibson and the Head of Operations of City Parks, the following Protocol agreed as a useful guide for residents to improve street planters:
Agreed Protocol
If needed, requests for Council assistance in clearing beds/shrubs would be via Cllr Gibson to City Parks.
A leaflet drop or door-to-door contact should be attempted with all those in the street to ensure:
Hanover Action’s role in enabling this should be clearly communicated, and publicity developed (Hanover Directory, Hanover Action website, notices/images on social media etc.) to raise the profile to enable wider community action to develop other street planters, beds and other public green space in Hanover & Elm Grove.
The One Planet Living group would monitor and assist with planning via its monthly project meetings.
