Special Roadside Verges

Open gallery (3)

Special Roadside Verges provide an invaluable habitat for wildflowers and other native species across the county, including a range of native species that are under threat elsewhere. Around 60km of road verges across Essex have been designated as Special Roadside Verges.

Place Services works with Essex County Council Highways staff and contractors to monitor and maintain these verges, ensuring that they are effectively managed and continue to support a wide range of species.
