80 New street and green space trees planted in Seaforth

The Mersey Forest has been working with Sefton Council's Parks and Green Spaces team to consult local residents around south Seaforth on improvements to local green spaces and the planting of residential streets with ornamental flowering trees. Residents were asked if they wanted a tree, if so would they water it.They were also given the opportunity to choose the type of tree and its location near their property.

Many residents said yes! The Green Spaces officers then arranged for a contract to be drawn up to plant the trees with protective green plasticoated guards.

Now 80 more trees have been planted on Verdi St, Caradoc St, Seaforth Rd and Church Rd around the 'Doggy' Green space.
