Naturally, the scope for sponsorship of this nature is very wide but an organisation may decide on one of the following options:
There are many options to choose from; trees, shrubs, a bright flower bed or even a piece of artwork to promote a company and its commitment to the local environment.
With all options, sponsors would have the opportunity to place their name within the scheme using approved signage to highlight their commitment as a sponsor. This would be a maximum of 300mm x 1000mm with lettering up to 50mm high.
All sponsors may choose a scheme to meet their individual requirements and will be advised accordingly. Ultimately this will depend on the finances available, taking into account the cost of any maintenance required.
Naturally the cost depends on the option chosen but minor improvements, for example to provide a flower bed or plant some trees, would cost in the order of £1,000.
A major refurbishment to create a new landscape scheme would cost in the order of £5,000-£10,000.
In agreeing a scheme with the sponsor the Council will undertake a risk assessment to ensure the proposals will not compromise highway safety, and seek approval from planning officers.
After agreeing the timescale for implementation and the appointment of a contractor, there will be a formal exchange of correspondence which will include details of the scheme, its maintenance, terms and conditions, and duration of the commitment.
Apart from landscaping, there are many other opportunities for sponsorship:
