Work Starts

Work on planting pavement and verge trees has started in Northwood Kirkby Merseyside this week.Contractors for Blakedown Landscapes broke ground and installed the first trees on Bigdale and Brook Hey Drives before moving onto Kennelwood Rd and Roughwood Drive.

It is hoped to have all the trees planted by mid February.

Green Streets Coordinator for The Mersey Forest Ben Greenaway said 'the first trees are now in and already the impact is quite substantial.The trees should have an impact of making the distances between places feel shorter especially when walking on foot or by bike; and which will give the area a greater sense of character as the seasons progress.'
