Residential greenspaces Improving residential greenspaces to offer attractive spaces and range of activities for the immediate residents As part of the undertaken community engagement it was suggested that one specific greenspace could be improved for the residents nearby: This greenspace is located in between backgardens between Dunsire St and Westwood Avenue. Over the past it has been regularly used as an illegal fly tipping area. Suggestions for improvements include: fruit trees, colourful & sensory planting and raised planters with integrated seating. This could be the first residential greenspace to be improved with others identified and improved in the future.
