When are we getting our trees back?

The recent £3 million road improvements on the A27 from the Hillbarn to Lyons Way gave the planners a good excuse to destroy some 20-odd trees along the route.

There was a weak statement at the time to the effect that new saplings would be planted as soon as the road was finished.

As yet, not a twig has appeared. Maybe some councillor can help in this matter?

A date for the planting would be a start. Let's hope for everyone - and the wild life - we have not been given another glib promise.
