(2) Wallington Conservation Area (Completed 1999)
Improvements in Wallington commenced with the removal of the footbridge and repair of the old bridge parapets. The historic ‘Hampshire’ style fingerpost sign was renovated, surface materials improved and new more appropriately styled street lights were provided.
The objectives of later work were to improve the entrance to the conservation area, including the unattractive steps on the footbridge access mound, provide new habitat for wildlife and improve the screening of commercial development in views from the Wallington Conservation Area. The proposals included improvements to surfacing, the planting of native trees, ornamental shrubs and wildflower seeding to soften views of the access mound and to provide improved wildlife habitat, and the planting of street trees in paving along the river wall to screen commercial development.
