Gateway 'Green' Impact

The main gateway to the world's first Garden City has received a £90,000 environmental makeover.

To add more visual impact to Letchworth Gate - which is heavily trafficked both to and from the A1M - Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation has implemented eye-catching measures to improve the landscape structure along this busy stretch of road, including pathway improvements.

Shrub and herbaceous planting and deciduous hedges, large evergreen clipped yews and beech arches to emphasise the entrance to the world's first Garden City from the motorway, are in place and further seasonal improvements will be added at the appropriate times.
