Please come along if you are able to help in any way, even if you didn’t respond to the initial questionnaire. The more help there is in an emergency, the easier it can be dealt with and you will be most welcome. Banks Park Trees A list of trees has been drawn up by Hillside Farm Nurseries and has been approved by the Council. If you are interested in purchasing a tree for planting in Banks Park, please contact me. A planting map for 9 trees has also been drawn up. It is intended to have a mix of suitable trees so it will be a case first come first to choose type and place. However, if you wish to have a specific tree, please contact me and we’ll try to accommodate it. As mentioned before, an information board made with the type of tree, who donated it and why will also part of the scheme so the cost of the tree will include, planting and an amount towards the cost of the board. That way there’ll be a permanent record of each tree planted. You may be aware that Wellingborough Borough Council is changing to a Town Council.
