CELEBRATE - no landscaping here, not even grass or a pot plant - mine was removed and given back to me after a short period of confiscation!

2026 is the 50 year anniversary of this 30 metre diameter, A456/A459/B4551 monstrosity being upgraded from being all tyres to all concrete and tarmac - success. But still no landscaping because of all the supposed myriad of pipes and cables just under the tarmac!

Very odd, eccentric behaviour from Dudley councillors and officers
Dear Councillor Jeff
Many thanks for this and the S Staffs Water plan which is very helpful.
It does mean, from what you have written and from the route of the water main down Lapal Lane South that all the trees, on both sides of the lane, now need to be clear felled to prevent root penetration and leaks. This would allow Tom Russon's idea in April that a footpath should be provided down that W side of the lane to the stile and network of paths.
May I have a similar plan, showing the utilities/services under the Grange roundabout, please? Could you also ask the professionals why this appears to be the only major roundabout of 30 metres in diameter without landscaping in the whole of the UK, from my motoring around over these last 60 years?
Why is grass not even allowed?
We have never had a full written explanation from a senior officer for the strange anomaly. Now is the time, please.
Why in the 90s or 00s did we see that thick planting of trees and shrubs where, eventually the lollipop cherry trees were planted and where the remnant remains at the Shell station (not Maybank, as I previously wrote) and on the E side of the Manor Lane traffic lights up to the cherry trees. Yet, reinstatement is STILL not complete!
Why are you failing to give me the contact details of your tree officer whose predecessors I have spoken with in past decades?
This Grange House roundabout is:-
The Gateway from Jct 3, M5 to the Historic Capital of the mighty but barren, backward, bleak Black Country which has destroyed seven of its railways! SEE
