Road verges - ecological protection scheme

The request was successful.

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

Cardiff Council

Dear Susan Davis

Thank you for your request under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004 about Ecological Protection Scheme received on 10^th March 2009.

Parks Services have considered your request and enclose the following
information:

There are no specific schemes within Cardiff Council for non strategic
routes.

There are no designated areas for wildlife conservation on highways in
Cardiff however the Council do operate a policy of providing a late cut on
Country Roads commencing on July 1st and taking about 3/4 weeks to
complete dependent on weather conditions. This involves cutting from 1m
inside kerb - hedgerow. There are approximately 46 miles of Country Roads
cutting on both sides.

It is believed that Vaughan Grantham (former Team Leader Environmental
advice Team) produced a scheme for protection of the grassland habitat on
Coryton Interchange in Cardiff that is managed by Welsh Assembly
Government.

We supply this information based on your original request. If this
information does not answer your enquiry or if you feel we have not fully
understood your request, please contact me to clarify your exact
