Trees- Banks Park Tree
Replacement Scheme
The tree replacement scheme has
been agreed by Council, and there
are spaces in Banks Park for 9
replacement trees.
5 along Wellingborough Road
2 along the A6
2 to fill in the gaps along the High
Street
It will cost £200 per tree, payable to
the Parish Council, which will be
2-3m in height with trunks 8-12 cm as
per list arranged by Hillside Nurseries
who will be supplying the
trees. Please contact the Clerk for
the list or if you have a specific tree
in mind. The cost includes planting
but the Council are insisting that the
purchaser tends their tree in the first
year to ensure it thrives. This
summer's hot weather has
highlighted the necessity of this
stipulation. Within this cost is also
the production of the information
board which will detail the trees and
any further information that the
purchaser wishes to add, within
reason, of course.
The trees will be allocated on a first
come first served basis as there are
only 9 spaces available.
Finedon Health Centre
The Parish Council have met with
Peter Bone MP to enlist his help with
this campaign which was agreed at
the last full Council meeting. A
petition is being set up and will be
lodged at strategic places for
residents to sign at various points
throughout Finedon, should you wish
to add your name to it. Peter Bone
has agreed to take the matter to
Parliament as well as writing to the
Practice and the Care
Commissioning Group.
To have your say directly to the
practice, please ask the health centre
reception staff for a survey or you
