Early works are set to start soon on reinvigorating Dukes Mound aka ‘The Bushes’ as part of the Black Rock development, with works planned to kick off in mid-February.
Some clearance work has started this week. The large non-native plants which are currently overgrown in the area, affecting access and the view of the sea, will be cut back to help create more native plant biodiversity in the future stages of the wider regeneration of the area.With the ongoing regeneration of the eastern seafront, Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) is taking the opportunity to cut back some non native tamarisk shrubs to allow new native grassland seed to flourish, increasing the plant biodiversity in the area.Trial removals of some of the tamarisk at Dukes.
