thanks for the info tomangel.
425 trees might sound a lot but when you think about the total number of streets in Lewisham Borough, this works out at what? maybe one tree per street on average? Not that great, and the 50 odd planned for this year is paltry - we can thank the coalition for that of course.

What I do know is that none of the 425 trees were planted in Perry Vale, where I live, and which has no (not one) street trees at all along its considerable length.

Mind you, we dont get speed restriction, 20 mph zone, or any other pedestrian or environmental benefits either. I'm not into conspiracy theories so i dont believe that the council deliberately neglect PV - but i do feel we are a bit unloved!
