New planters for Melcombe Street

We met Cllr Robert Rigby on Melcombe Street in Dorset Square, to see the new planters which the Regent's Park councillors secured funding for from the Council in partnership with the Baker Street Quarter.

Robert explains

Planters create a wonderful urban greening, and I'm here in Dorset Square on Melcombe Street, looking at these planters which contribute to the public realm. 

These have been contributed and funded by both the Baker Street Quarter as well as your local ward councillors' budget.
