One of a series along the road. These small 'gardens' take the main run off from the road acting as natural filter beds and soakaways. They are planted with a variety of suitable plants, not very obviously so in this instance at this time of year. The gardens are intended to absorb run-off which otherwise would enter drains running into the Day Brook and which at times of heavy rain have resulted in the past in flooding of premises further downstream.
