Tree planting accelerating
By Carole Mulroney
IN the current planting season Southend Council have organised the planting 338 trees, 4450 whips.
Workers have taken out 22 trees for various reasons of necessity and 44 were lost to the storms.
So the discredited Tory policy of 2:1 replacement of trees now stands at 5:1 and if not for the storms it would have been 15:1.
The planting season still has another month to go.
