Looking After Trees in our Lincoln Road Play Area

Update: 14 July. A tree has been badly damaged (destroyed) maybe by a football being kicked against it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I received a report through the Town Council Facebook site that trees had been damaged on the Lincoln Road Play.

The trees in question being the recently planted ones as part of the programme helped in pat by grants.

Latest (4 July) Two trees on the StAnnes side have had the straps cut.

Previous: So I went down in trepidation at what I might see. In the end not as bad as  I had feared. After a couple of days on very heavy storms, with hailstones covering the area white over, the damage was less that I had feared.



The trees on the St Anne's  side were largely untouched but the ones near the Lincoln Road were generally intact but with the ties/straps broken. How it has happened (vandalism or storm battered) is unclear (to me anyway).


The biggest eyesore was the amount of litter (soft drink bottles and junk food cartons and boxes). Why can't the users of these fast food items put them in the bins rather that trying to trash the bins. So sad!
