Boris has expanded his street tree programme to take in another 40 ‘tree free’ locations. Londoners will be able to request a tree where they live through a new website.
During his election, Boris promised to fund 10,000 street trees in areas where they will most help to improve people’s quality of life. The first 1500 street trees are already being planted in 20 priority locations and he has now expanded the programme to cover 40 areas across 32 London boroughs.
Locally Stepney, Shoreditch, Bow Common and Bromley –by-Bow have been designated as priority areas
If you live or work in one of these priority areas, then visit http://www.london.gov.uk/streettrees/ to request a tree.
