Pentagon Island Gets Green Makeover | UK News

Pentagon Island in Derby is getting a dramatic makeover after years of looking wild and neglected—think Jurassic Park meets city center. Starting this week, the council, local businesses, and Down to Earth Derby are teaming up to transform the area with native plants, wildlife-friendly greenery, and a long-lost “Derby In Bloom” display. Plus, a new mural will grace the bridge wall. This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s part of a bigger plan to turn the island into a sustainable, welcoming gateway to the city, helping climate goals while brightening commuters’ days. Lane closures will be in place Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
