The project will build a ‘sensory community garden’ on the Humber Road Estate in Witham to make the area more attractive, encourage community activity and increase pride in the area from local residents. Local school children and residents of all ages will take an active role in the maintenance and upkeep of the garden, gaining experience in planting & growing produce and improving community links.

This won't last long in Douglas Grove if they win it, it will be a waste of time and money, the council should sort out the main problem, Anti-social behaviour and vandalism first.

Apparently the preferred street for this project is Douglas grove, the residents have already made it clear to greenfields that "WE DON'T DIG IT " how many people that have commented on this would like it in their street if so let greenfields know
