Across the borough we are aiming to increase greening and better manage the risk of surface water flooding. To support this we’re proposing to build new rain gardens on the carriageway of Edith Villas.
Rain gardens are planted areas that collect rainwater from the road and allow it to soak into the ground naturally, instead of overwhelming the sewer system and causing local flooding. Rain gardens also help reduce the urban heat island effect and when planted help support biodiversity.
The rain gardens will improve and beautifythe dead end of Edith Villas that junctions with West Cromwell Road as shown here on Google Maps (the A4). Residents have told us how much they enjoy similar green spaces elsewhere in the borough, including Edith Road, King Street, Manbre Road, Milson Road and Westville Road.
The drawing below shows what the scheme will look like from above.
Edith Villas Rain garden designTo create the rain garden a small section of the road will be removed and replaced with a planted area. There are currently 39 car parking bays on the road these would be reduced to 35.
This project is proudly funded through our H&F Green Investment programme, which supports sustainable, community-focused improvements across the borough. It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to making your local area greener, cleaner, and an even better place to live, work, and socialise.
