Bristol City Council have “commenced a four-week programme to create green roofs on the former toilet blocks” in the Bearpit, “turning them into wildflower meadows,” the mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees, announced on his blog on 29 January. “The native flowers will add to the biodiversity and attract pollinators,” he goes on to say, “in a space dominated by concrete and busy roads. They will have a waterproof layer, topped with a recycled stone substrate layer and then sown with a wildflower meadow seed. Once it grows, it will become a mix of colourful native wildflowers and grasses, which are low maintenance, and drought tolerant to minimise water consumption and be resilient to climate change.”
