An early phase of the Felixstowe improvement scheme changed the
road priorities at the top of Convalescent Hill and included the
building a mini roundabout at the bottom of Convalescent Hill and
layout amendments to the car park. In addition, the steps from
Convalescent Hill to Wolsey Gardens have been repaired and
reopened.
Landscape scheme
Officers from Suffolk Coastal worked with the County highway
engineers to produce a landscape design for the car park boundary
and new build out space on Wolsey Gardens.
In addition to shrubs and perennials, a number of replacement
and new trees have been planted including sycamore and pine which
are traditional sea front trees for Felixstowe. Cordylines and
yuccas have been used to frame views of the sea and provide focal
points.
The planting scheme was designed by Suffolk Coastal's landscape
architect, Anne Westover and carried out by Kevin Postma and team
at Suffolk Coastal Services.
