TREES IN ROMFORD

NEW TREES FOR ROMFORD

The organisation "Trees for Cities" has been working with some local residents to identify sites which will be suitable for more trees in central Romford, helping to improve the environment and nature conservation, and provide shade and cool in warm weather. This supports the Council’s policy of increasing the amount of green in the centre of Romford, to improve nature conservation, promote health and the visual appeal of the town. New gardens were installed next to Central Library when the library was refurbished, work is ongoing at St. Edward’s Churchyard in Market Link, a "green wall" and other nature conservation measures are proposed as part of the development in Angel Way. New trees have been planted in South Street and nature conservation areas developed to strengthen wildlife corridors in to the town at Cottons Park, Lodge Farm Park and Raphael Park.
