Air Quality Brentford Wants Your Support
After successful planting of hedges by A4 more volunteers needed
Hedges have been planted to screen the A4
Air Quality Brentford has been very active in the local community in recent months but the environmental action groups needs more people to come forward to help out.
In its recent newsletter it outlines some its latest initiatives including the planting of a hedge by the A4. This project was one of the first ideas of the group when it was created in 2016 and the following year it started discussions with TfL about placing more greenery along the residential part of the A4 next to Middlesex Court and Glenhurst Road. Following many meetings and discussions the hedge has now been planted as part of the campaign to #MakeBrentfordGreener.
A spokesperson for the group said, “We want to thank TfL for all their support with this project and we look forward to seeing the hedge grow and for it to help mitigate traffic noise and pollution along this busy stretch of road.
• The Co-op have raised £219.62 towards the group’s planting projects already as part of their community funding. Air Quality Brentford has been selected for community funding until November 2022. You can sign up with the Co-op to ensure that some of your shopping spend goes back into local improvements undertaken by the group. https://airqualitybrentford.wordpress.com/2021/11/04/co-op-funding-help-us-raise-some-pennies/
AQB also needs people to assist with watering any of it planting projects over these dry months. Let it know if you can help particularly with the planters along the High Street especially.
