Poor landscaping of the traffic Island at Longfellow Street
Watching the roses slowly die in the traffic Island at the end of Longfellow Steet, I've just written the following to the council. let see what they do about it.
Good afternoon
The traffic island (TF) at the Tennyson Street end of Longfellow Street was planted out with roses after major drainage work. The TF had no topsoil added when works we were complete just riverbed stone. On top of this a layer of tree bark. The TF has been planted out with a dozon rose bushes The roses are very worse for wear and are not growing due to no soil to root in to and in such an exposed area, are not growing at all. 3 roses have died so far. The roses are not going to survive another year. We will be left with a barren wasteland and taking in to account how much rates everyone in Longfellow Steet pays, it's not value for money. You wouldn't find a traffic Island in Merivale looking like this?
There was a new road layout for the end of Longfellow Street that never eventuated. So we have this half-hearted rose garden. In line with planting more native trees in Christchurch and trying to attract more native species, Lancewoods and native grasses would be much more appropriate.
Id appreciate your attention in this matter and looks forward to your action plan.
Regards
GM
