The newly revamped Cattle Market Car Park opened recently and is looking smart with fresh tarmac, clearly painted lines, and brick-block parking bays.
One feature still to be completed is the rain garden. This will collect and filter rainwater runoff from the car park, preventing it from overwhelming the drainage channels. By filtering the water through soil and plants, the rain garden helps clean it before it reaches the water table. It will also enhance biodiversity in the area.
Does a rain garden mean that if it doesn’t rain all the plants will die?
