Road verges - ecological protection scheme

Susan Davis made this Freedom of Information request to Ceredigion Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Susan Davis

8 March 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

If you run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in your
area, please could you provide me with the following details:

a) what protection measures a verge receives when it is included in
the scheme

b) the list of verges covered by the scheme (and their locations -
road name/number and six figure OS grid references would be fine)

c) for each verge, the specific reasons why the verge has been
included in the scheme - i.e. the notable species found there, or
the NVC community present

If you do not run such a scheme in your area, but you are aware
that another body does, please could you refer me to them instead.

Many thanks,

Susan Davis

Dear Ken,

Many thanks for your reply. Is it possible to have a little more
detail on some of the sites? Specifically, where the description
uses phrases such as "specific botanical interest" or
"species-rich", if you are able to provide any further information
on the key species present, that would be very helpful.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Davis

Dear Ms Davis,

Sorry, but apparently that is the only information that is available. I do not know if the Wildlife Trust have more detailed
knowledge regarding each site.
