Shockingly, @lambeth_council are refusing to answer any more FOIs about the number of trees they plant each month.
They say it’s “vexatious”.
What are you hiding @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland
@TreeLambeth@lambeth_council @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland To be fair, the best time to plant trees is between October and April so low numbers outside that period is not surprising.
P.S. As Lambeth looks after about 34k trees (19k street trees and 15k in parks). They need to plant about 340 per year to replace ones that die
The numbers are in:
@lambeth_council planted only THREE trees in May, our latest FOI reveals.
They felled 24. That’s a net loss of 21 trees!
We don’t want any more months like this @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland

Totally unprecedented and terrifying.

Magnificent horse chestnuts have come down recently on Rosendale. Can we have some new trees here? To maintain biodiversity and shade. Thank you @RezinaChowdhury @WestDulwichLab
