Coast & Country Housing has launched the second phase of a major programme of striking floral displays across neighbourhoods and estates within Redcar and Cleveland.

As part of an initiative to improve its open spaces, Coast & Country has created more than 50 flower beds and now it has started a big winter plant involving 55,000 pansies and polyanthus.


This year saw the beginning of Coast & Country’s first major planting programme The company’s  estate services team  along with a host of colleagues from its head and local offices, who volunteered to give a helping hand, laid around 48,000 summer plants followed by the thousands of winter ones.

Iain Sim, Coast & Country chief executive, said: “Everyone that has taken part has shown a true spirit and willingness to leave their desks to get out into the fresh air and enjoyed becoming green-fingered  to create a spectacle of colour to our estates for residents to enjoy all year round..

“We have received welcoming feedback from our residents and local people who are delighted to see a bright and colourful array of plants, improving the look of many areas across the Borough.”

Plans are well underway for next year’s planting schemes with the promise of   exciting floral designs, an increased variety of flowers and vibrant colours.
