Environmental improvements at Hillcrest Place, Hesleden

Last week I reported that landscaping works at the former garage site at Hillcrest Place in Hesleden had begun (see post dated 16 April for background details). 

This work was carried out to address the concerns of residents nearby that the old wall was unstable, unsightly and posed a safety threat to children in the area.

Works to grade the grass slope and to reduce the height of the wall are now completed. The slope has been reseeded and further works to erect a short safety fence either on the wall or on the grassed area above are to begin soon.
