Barton Dock Road becomes a designated Honey Bee Highway.

A new initiative called the 'Honey Bee Highway' in Trafford aims to enhance grass verges in the industrial sector by increasing plant diversity. This spring, Trafford Council introduced additional wildflower seeds and turf, creating vibrant displays that serve as vital habitats for wildlife and beautify the area for commuters in Trafford Park. Locations such as Barton Dock Road, Parkway, and the new Parkway tram stop have been transformed into floral mini meadows. This effort builds on last year's achievements funded by the Economic Development Regeneration Flexible Grant from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. The landscape is now adorned with various British and European grasses and flowers, including poppies, cornflowers, daisies, and campions, arranged in color-themed clusters.
