New trees, better seating and litter bins are to go up at a Barnes' shopping area. Richmond Council is proposing plans to spruce up the Castlenau part of Barnes and will also provide a co-ordinated colour scheme for posts and railings and improvements to shop forecourts.

The council and Berkeley Homes have provided joint funding. Plans of the scheme can be seen at Castlenau Library or the Civic Centre in Twickenham.
