The tree planting, at Birkdene, was carried out by Coun. Anne Dale alongside a number of local residents, including Pauline Dawson, who has been a driving force in the community’s efforts to have the tree replaced.
Coun. Dale said: “A tree was sadly lost on this attractive piece of open space due to disease and Pauline and the local residents have been very keen to see a replacement.
“I have been working with the council’s local services team to secure a nice healthy tree to plant here.
“It was great to have so many of the local community along to help with the planting.”
