Landscaping For Landscaping Building

Landscaping around the new Alfred Street carpark is underway with seven more trees to be planted to enhance the exterior.

The parking building is proving very popular while parking is free and drivers are being urged to go beyond the ground floor if they intend to make a long stay.

Surfaces are uneven around the perimeter of the building while the paving and landscaping is in progress.

The work will be done in two stages; footpaths are being levelled now but the paving along the Alfred Street frontage and across the new pedestrian crossing to the clubs’ building won’t be completed until early next year. Delivery of the pavers will be later than expected after production delays at the tile factory.

The brick and grey shades of the tiles are in keeping with the paving plans for other areas of the town outlined in the “Growing Marlborough” plan for the Blenheim town centre.

Planter boxes will protect the trees lining Alfred Street and the new trees on the lane on the east side of the parking building.
