MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

"That this Area Committee agrees that the two roundabouts at SIAC and IBIS be landscaped and that a report be presented at the January ACM on suitable works for these locations."

REPORT:

The SIAC and Ibis roundabouts were both landscaped and planted up in recent years. The roundabouts are maintained on a seasonal basis as the need requires as part of the Public Realm maintenance works undertaken in the area. The Ibis roundabout is considered to be well established and it is not proposed to undertake any additional landscaping works at this location. The SIAC roundabout could benefit from some replacement planting.

Both roundabouts will be visited during the winter pruning period and a clean-up carried out at each location. The clean-up will include the removal of litter, pruning and weeding. The planting on the SIAC roundabout will be examined as part of the works and consideration will be given to improving the existing planting.
