JUST before the lockdown the Shaftesbury Town Council Grounds team had prepared four sites across the town for the sowing of wildflower seeds.

Several weeks later the team are pleased to have sown the seeds in the following trial areas: Christy’s Lane/ Linden Park junction, strip on the Royal Chase

roundabout, A30 Salisbury Road verge and New Road by the underpass. A different variety of seeds has been sown in each of the locations.

Signage is in each of the trial areas informing the public that the seeds have been sown.

The council says it looks forward to keeping the public up to date as the trial progresses and learning from the residents their preference of flower type once the growing season is underway next spring.
