Planting For The Future


A programme of tree planting has been finished throughout and across Manor Ward (Crosby, Hightown and Thornton areas). Each Ward in Sefton is allotted a budget to spend on community and local schemes; it has been a long tradition that tree planting and 'green' environmental benefits to Manor are funded within this budget.

Councillor John Gibson, with agreement from all other parties in Manor, can confirm that there has been a programme of £1332.20 worth of new trees and greenery in Manor. This was £237.80 short of the expect figure! Crosby Area Committee will decide on what the surplus monies should be spent on. John told e-Focus: "It's your money, as tax payers, get in touch with your Focus Team and tell us what you think the money could be used for in your area. I have suggested rolling out the tree planting programme further, but I am always willing to listen to your thoughts and views."
