A huge thank you to everyone who came down to decorate the park Christmas tree on Sunday.
So many people, we were almost overwhelmed with Christmas cheer! Much fun was had creating decorations for the tree and it was lovely so many new connections were made.

Really proud that in coming weeks, @wfcouncil will be planting 148 new trees in Higham Hill ward, including 3 new elm trees in HIgham Hill Park and 5 new elms in Cheney Row Park.
This is huge for our ward - we've needed better canopy coverage for a long time and it will help clean our air. 🌲🌳
