Green Spaces - Decline and Neglect

The state of the green spaces in our inner city neighbourhood.

Looking around our neighbourhood here is St Peters Leicester now in 2008 we see that neglect by the recent and current council administrations has caused much harm to the green environment around us.

St Peters NM hopes that by publicising this fact and showing the clear evidence for it, that we can challenge Leicester City Council to do better.

Greenscaping and Ground Maintenance

shrubs and tress in st peters leicester inner city estate and neighbourhood

The greenscaping in St Peters is the term some of us to describe the green areas such as grass, shrubs, trees and climbing plants such as Ivy.

St Peters is an area where the greenscaping, due to the decisions and work of previous councillors and heads of department at Leicester City Council mainly during the 1980 and early 1990's is particularly verdant and pleasant.

However when one takes a closer look at it, what we see speaks of neglect, mismanagement and no management due to the decisions and oversight of current heads of certain departments and often councillors at Leicester City Council today. The truth of the matter is, is that where the greenscaping does look good, it is down to the work of previous generations at LCC rather than the current incumbents. And where it looks bad then it is simply down to the current decision makers and managers.

Quite a sweeping statement but is it true? Lets take a closer look.
