Hedging along Manor Farm Road completed
Over the last few years bit by bit we have been renewing the hawthorn/blackthorn hedge along Manor Farm Road from the Sports Pavilion Car Park as far as the mini-roundabout. On Wednesday 4th March we planted some 300 more whips, completing the final lengths. Our grateful thanks to personnel from the Parks Dept for their help on the day and to Southampton City Council for providing the plants and chestnut fencing.
