As part of our program of replacing the trees in Ethelburt Avenue that have died, five young cherry trees have been planted. This program will continue.
Robert Williams on behalf of the Association, successfully applied to Southampton City Council for a V.E.Day celebration grant to plant 10 trees. A hawthorn tree was planted on the bottom green in Ethelburt Avenue by residents Mrs Canham and Mrs Catchpole in a ceremony during the Street Party. As the time of year was not suitable for planting, the Council has agreed to our proposal to plant the remainder on Remembrance Sunday. These plantings will be spread around the Conservation Area. There will be consultation with residents to select the best spots.
There is also a good chance that trees will be planted by the City Council along the verges in Leaside Way.
