Woolborough Lane - ‘A corridor of activity, interest and ecology’
Woolborough Lane in Manor Royal is an important corridor for both cycling and walking. However, the physical environment was not inviting and had little amenity value other that its connection to the Business District.
This project has improved the physical environment of the corridor, with urban features including public artwork, benches and tables, and the creation of additional areas of grassland, shrubs, hedgerows and individual trees.
The idea was to create a series of spaces along the lane for the community to use and enjoy. New incidental seating walls and grass banks have helped define the entrance. Three new areas for seating, socialising and fun activities such as table tennis are created on the existing grass areas are towards the southern end of the lane.
