Bollards and bunds

It’s been an exciting week for maintenance on the estate. After last Friday’s walkabout with Teodoro from Estate Services and Peter from Pinnacle, not only have five new bollards appeared, but the bund (grassy bank) next to the new parking spaces on Coburg Crescent has been covered in topsoil and seeded with grass seed.

The PRERA committee have been chasing the council to finish the work on the parking spaces since January. When the new bund was created, it was full of rubbish, rubble and tree roots. Once the grass has grown the bund should be much more attractive than it was before. The new topsoil will enable the grass to be cut in future without the grass-cutting equipment being damaged by the rubble.
