Road verges - ecological protection scheme
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
