Bespoke stainless steel planters were specified by Ealing Council, as part of streetscape improvements to Southall Broadway – a section of the Uxbridge Road in the town centre of Southall, West London.

The planters were designed and specified by the Major Projects & Development Team of Ealing Council, and formed part of improvements to Southall Broadway aimed to result in a more attractive and safer street, more space for pedestrians and cyclists, and better traffic flow. These works themselves form one part of a larger, 5-year plan of major improvements led by Ealing Council, called the Southall Big Plan.
