Bracknell

A local woodland at Avebury in Great Hollands, Bracknell has been given a spring clean by Bracknell Forest Borough Council’s visual environment team.

Litter has been cleared, old signs removed, path edges tided up and undergrowth was removed to create an open and welcoming woodland with a diverse range of species.

The team will return later this year to tidy more ground near the footbridge which crosses Mill Lane.

The visual environment team works across Bracknell Forest tidying up some of the borough’s woodland and countryside areas. Over the past few months, they have also tidied the Bullbrook watercourse.

Helen Tranter, Head of Culture and Visual Environment, said: "This team makes a real difference to our communities by tackling small areas which really matter to residents.

"Now people living in Great Hollands can enjoy the Avebury woodland to its full potential.”

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said "It is great to see the results of the hard work that the team do on local environment projects."

This work contributes to making our borough a clean, green and safe place for us all to live and enjoy. With the approach of spring, the Avebury woodland is looking really splendid."
