Agreement

The aim of this agreement is to clarify roles, responsibilities, and standards for the establishment and upkeep of pesticide-free Pollinator Pathway streets. Please read carefully.

Responsibilities of the London Borough of Redbridge

To review this arrangement every 12 months.
To carry out monitoring of the Pollinator Pathway Streets to ensure standards are being adhered to and participants are supported.
To continue to carry out regular monitoring and maintenance of trees.
To provide knowledge-based support to participants if and when needed.

Responsibilities of the lead resident/adoptive group:

To maintain their adopted street according to the guidelines included in this form.
Not to make any alterations to any green or other areas of the highway without first obtaining permission from the Council.
Not to claim any proprietary rights whatsoever in respect of the looked after areas.
Agree to use the site only when there is sufficient lighting.
To inform the Council of any incident or accident at site as soon as practicable and complete an accident/incident report in each case.

Agreement

I agree to adhere to the responsibilities as listed.

Acceptable standards and maintenance requirements for Pollinator Pathway streets:

Plant growth should be maintained to ensure the footpaths and roads are clear for users, without creating a slip or trip hazard or blocking any sightlines.
Plant growth should not exceed 15cm in height, unless contained within the parameters of a tree pit.
All plant growth is to be controlled ‘by hand’, manual means (no machinery or chemicals are to be used).
The rate of plant growth will vary from road to road, but on average hand weeding on a 4–6 week cycle should keep the growth within the required standards.
The growing season is traditionally from March to November, so it is unlikely that removal of plant growth will be required during the winter period.

Where tree pits are present, the lead resident agrees to adhere to the Adopt a Tree Pit terms and conditions, listed here.
The lead resident must ensure that any other residents participating in the project are aware, understand and adhere to the health & safety guidelines.
All successful applications will be reviewed after 12 months.  If a Pollinator Pathway Street wishes to continue for the next 12 months, contact details and any issues arising in the previous year will be reviewed and continuation of the street agreed via email.
