WELLINGTON ’ S PRIDE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH HELP FROM BRETT LANDSCAPING
In-depth technical advice and bespoke design solutions from independent paving manufacturer Brett Landscaping helped a local council with part of a £ 35m programme of works to keep neighbourhoods safe , clean and well-connected .
As part of the wider four-year scheme , Telford and Wrekin Council had made a £ 450,000 commitment to residents in Wellington to make their town centre more attractive , more accessible and safer for pedestrians .
Major redevelopment of Market Street , Wellington , started in October 2022 with the first phase completed before Christmas .
The work included pavement resurfacing , widening the footpath , replacing all kerbs and installing new drainage which improved the aesthetics and accessibility while still maintaining a one-way street with parking / loading provision .
Brett Landscaping ’ s specialist team offered extensive advice on the technical elements of the project in the planning stage and Telford Council specified Brett ’ s Invicta block paving for the project .
Invicta ’ s unique ‘ Aggtech ’ surface layer provides a hardwearing surface for the high volume of pedestrians that travel through the town centre while retaining its vivid colours . Invicta Pearl ( 60mm ) block paving was used in conjunction with Onyx 80mm pavers – all of the Invicta colour schemes complement each other but can also provide demarcation .
Brett Landscaping ’ s design teams then produced bespoke cross sections for the installation of the drainage channel block and its integration with the road kerbs . The channels run from the shop fronts to the conservation kerb ; at the downpipe positions from the rooftops and acted as a demarcation and rigid lateral restraint across the footpaths .
This required bedding in mortar to take up the differences in the depth of the blocks .
