Description
This linear green space is owned by Cheshire East Council which supports tree and hedge planting to help reduce the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. The current proposal consists of an extension of the small hedge planted in the 2022/23 planting season.
Trees for Congleton is a subgroup of Congleton Sustainability Group (part of Congleton Partnership) which aims to plant a tree or woody shrub, including hedging plants, for every Congleton resident over a period of about 6 years. The aim of the proposed planting is to increase the value of the green space for capturing and storing carbon, to provide a green corridor for wildlife, add to the amenity, and help filter out air pollutants. The general proposals are shown overleaf.
An application has been made to the Tree Council under its Branching Out Fund and, if funding is secured and the proposals are supported by a majority of the people who respond to this consultation, it is anticipated that planting will be carried out in January or February 2024 by volunteers.
Aftercare
All planting would be well mulched to keep down weeds until the planting is established. Volunteers would initially help with aftercare but in the long term the planting would be the responsibility of the Town Council’s Streetscape team.
We would love local residents to become ‘friends’ of the trees and plants planted in the area, a ‘friend’ would keep an eye on the site and report any damage or problems, or indeed how the plants are flourishing! Please indicate on the form below
