2005 Best Landscape Project
Church Street Enhancement project, Nuneaton, Warwickshire
Designer: Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council
Paving contractor: Duopave
Pavers and fittings: Baggeridge Brick
This lively landscaping scheme in Nuneaton adds colour to a drab environment and draws together a disparate collection of buildings. Clay pavers - chosen for their strength, durability and fade resistance - were used in ribbon and circle patterns. Combined with cobles in running and herringbone bonds, the overall effect is of an appealing informality that injects vibrancy to the precinct.
