Landscape Works for Meco Memorial Nature Park Worcester

The Authority requires the Contractor to carry out Landscaping Works and specified improvements at Meco Memorial Nature Park, Worcester.

The public open space (POS) bounded by St John's Cemetery, allotments, existing housing and a recent development at Willis Place is an area owned by the City Council commonly known as Sanctuary Park. A plan is attached.

The land is to be retained as POS as a condition of planning consent from the development to the east side, Planning ref P18K0195.

The Authority is seeking to create a small informal park which provides space to incorporate a memorial to the victims of World War 2 bombing raids on the local Meco Works and provide an amenity for local people. These proposals are consistent with the need to manage the site sensitively in terms of ecology and the presence of slow worms relocated from the adjoining land as one of the planning conditions for the adjacent housing development.
