Road verges - ecological protection scheme

Susan Davis made this Freedom of Information request to North Lincolnshire Council

The request was partially successful.

From: Susan Davis

7 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 Andrew,

Thanks very much for your reply. Do you have any further
information about the ecological interest of the Elsham verges
which are included in the pilot project? If so, copies of this
would be useful.

Thanks,

Susan

Susan

The information in my file dates from 2003 and is getting a bit past its
best.

The up to date information is held by the Lincolnshire Environmental
Records Centre.

Please e-mail Margaret Haggerty (see above) and ask for data on "Elsham
Road Verges" and "Newland Hill Verges".

I will be having a meeting with our mowing contractors this month to see
if we can improve the management of our most sensitive verges

Hope this helps.
