Thornbury & Petrie Grove

The residents of Petrie Grove, the Croft Working Men’s Club and Thornbury Youth and Community Centre had pieces of land in the same area which had suffered from fly-tipping for many years.

Thornbury & Petrie Grove BEFOREAfter a consultation meeting, proposals were drawn up by UDT to restrict fly-tipping opportunities, to encourage safe access by pedestrians and to smarten up the local area.

Using a local landscape contractor, all fly-tipped rubbish was removed, a partially dilapidated wall was replaced by tall railings. Bollards were put in to stop vehicles driving down paths, and the land in private ownership was fenced. A new footpath was constructed and an existing path resurfaced.
