OUR PLEDGE TO YOU - ‘Support residents who want to plant trees or bulbs in grass verges’

The planting of trees or flowers in grass verges can brighten up our local streets, provide habitats for local birds and wildlife, help prevent inappropriate parking and even slow down speeding drivers.

We will fully support local residents with the process to seek permission from Essex County Council to plant in grass verges outside your house and help you plant them.

We will also provide trees suitable for grass verges for free from the Essex Forrest Initiative and other local donors.
