Planting areas in Warrington town centre are getting a makeover thanks to Warrington BID and volunteers from local businesses. It’s all part of a joint venture with Warrington Borough Council called ‘Watch This Space!’
So far two mini-gardens at the top of Buttermarket Street have been weeded and planted. Businesses that have helped include Golden Square, Beaverbrooks, Caffé Caruso, Hideaway Café together with town centre Police Community Support Officers and staff and children from Kids Planet day nursery.
‘Watch this Space!’ is a partnership project to improve the appearance of Warrington town centre. It also gives businesses the opportunity to get involved in practical projects that make the town centre more attractive and welcoming.
The refurbishment at Buttermarket Street involves planting 80 herbaceous flowers. English Lavender and Verbena were selected as they are attractive to butterflies and bees and are drought tolerant.
