Description
Wildlife
Skinner Street Open Space supports a good balance of amenity lawn and wildlife areas including mature trees, and it includes innovative combinations of different habitat types. The wildlife value of the site may be diminished if re-landscaping removes ruderal and scrub communities. Spa Fields Gardens includes species-rich ornamental flower beds, amenity grassland lawns, areas where ornamental grape vines are being grown, scattered trees and ornamental shrubberies.Facilities
