Tell us 📢 where you’d like your street tree 🌳 planted.
When a resident sponsors a tree through @treesforstreets, they get to say where they’d like it planted. Their council does a survey. If all ok, a tree is put in that following winter.

"It's going to be a nightmare...": Locals slam 'money making plan' to build new homes near M60 <- Peel Land and Property destroying greenbelt in Worsley - #Edenfield faces the same problems (with the same developer + Taylor Wimpey + Anwyl) https://t.co/hxVTX82pIK
Residents 'condemned to living on a building site for 20 years' after massive housing estate gets go-ahead https://t.co/Rhf2eepAw9<- Taylor Wimpey bullying Lancs County Council, local residents, Highways and gets their own way.
Phased demolition of housing estate begins after developers find problems with foundations. Developers left with £40m bill https://t.co/PCRhvW7m3G
Could the same thing happen in #Edenfield? We think it could, since the land close to the A56 bypass seems prone to landslip.
We know that Taylor Wimpey has plans for Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in #Edenfield but is this wise in view of the risk of landslides onto the bypass? When SuDS become mandatory later this year that risk will be "baked in" to the development plans.

This highlights the importance of a local plan with a good design code. Aesthetics can't be left to developers and council planners. Those living nearby who are most affected by bad design need to have an input.

Councils should come clean on their financial interests when making decisions agains the wishes of the electorate and their local planning teams. https://t.co/UoGXe1oFuC
Seems to be a trend emerging: a Council deciding an application on land it’s agreed to sell to the applicant! Happened at Rose Hill: Doncaster Council voted to overturn previously refused application so a developer can destroy habitat, trees & woodland on Council land. Shocking!
It may hold back ethical, desirable, sustainable development but it also allows developers to submit numerous versions of plans with slight differences to wear down local opposition. It works both ways but I think we agree, it's a terrible system.
