QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor A. Hayes

To ask the manager if SDCC is on target, regarding it's pollinator planting and other works to achieve another Green Flag for Waterstown Park in the next round of judging.

REPLY:

The provision of pollinator planting is one element which is considered under the Environmental Management Section and the Biodiversity, Landscape and Heritage Section of Green Flag assessment criteria.  Pollinator planting and other works in Waterstown Park is on target with large areas of grassland which include a rich diversity of naturalised wildflowers.  This is further enhanced by a significant introduction of pollinator bulbs in the park in 2022 and 2023.
