Improving the upper walkway overlooking the River Frome from the Westway Centre along to Jensen Button Bridge & beyond to make it more attractive and feeling cared for would make it more welcoming to use. Some information boards with facts about the River Frome are worth considering. Historic use of the river for industry, and information on wildlife. Some meadow grass & flower seeds put into the bank down to the river.
Facing towards the rear of the Bridge Street shops, seen from the bridge between Westway and Market Place. Trim some lower overhanging branches off the trees along the bank, to open up the historic unusual view of shops built on a bridge. Any meadow planting to enhance the banks & make it seem a little cared for would be good.
