THE grassed area of land at the corner of the Lewes Road and Blackwell Hollow will be a wild flower meadow this summer.

The town council’s outdoor staff have already put three inches of top soil over the area which will be seeded in mid-April with a “pictorial meadows” seed mix.

The area, which until now has been grassed over and has only had spring colour from daffodils, should come into summer bloom within eight weeks of sowing and remain in flower until the late autumn.
