Urban tree planting
Phase 2
During National Tree Week, we started phase 2 of our urban tree strategy by planting 30 trees.
These trees were planted at:
- Newchapel Recreation Ground with the help of Thursfield Primary School, Cllr Jill Waring and The Mayor of Newcastle Cllr Ken Owen
- Sandy Lane with the help of council leader Simon Tagg and The Mayor of Newcastle Cllr Ken Owen
