Dear Susan,

Regarding the below query - we do not run an ecological protection
scheme for road verges in Newport, but we do have some areas identified
for management. For example, the A48 road verges between Llanbeder and
Llanvaches are managed as a wildflower meadow. Rural lane verges are
cut once a year (either in June or August).

We are currently looking into a programme of identifying road-side
verges which are more ecologically valuable, which will then be
prioritised for appropriate management.

Thanks for your query,

Dear Sinead,

Hi Susan,

I am not aware of any other road verges that receive special
management, we are currently looking into a wider scheme. The A48
verges were identified for general florisitc diversity, I am not aware
of any specific ecological interest in that area. Apologies for the
lack of info - this may have been something my predecessor was more
familiar with, but I haven't looked at yet!

Thanks for your interest, and I can let you know when we have some more
info.
