Didsbury East

Clean, green and safer neighbourhoods make our city attractive. They help us feel better and safer where we live, work, study and visit.

These are the projects that have been funded by the Clean and Green investment in your neighbourhood so far. The 'completed' projects were finished in 2024 and 2025. The 'in delivery' projects are scheduled for 2026 and 2027.

Completed projects

Parrswood Road – H‑bars

H‑bars have been installed to improve access and reduce driveway obstruction.

Didsbury Park – fencing replacement

Fencing is being replaced to protect the wildflower garden and enhance the park’s look and feel.

Fog Lane Park – drainage improvements

Various small drainage improvements have been completed along Brooklawn Drive, including pipe repairs, gullies cleaning and raising surfaces to remove pooling. The site is now being monitored to identify further required measured.

Bins

All on-street bins across the ward have been replaced as part of the August 2024 to August 2025 programme, and park bins in disrepair have been scheduled for Didsbury Park, Fletcher Moss Garden, and Fog Lane Park. Find out more about bin installation and the efforts to fight litter.
