Over the past 2 years, Roach Road residents have come together to plant a few trees to attract bees and birds as well as to make our environment more attractive.  So far we have  managed to raise enough money to fund 11 street trees.  Already our street is looking a lot greener and we are excited to see what our new arrivals will look like this Spring.

We have listened to as many different opinions as possible and it seems that most people are in favour of small/medium trees and in locations where there is no risk of loss of light/loss of view.  We hope to plant another 2 trees between October 2025 and March 2026. 

Each tree costs a total of £700 which covers the cost of the tree, digging a tree pit, and maintenance for 100 years by the Council contractor.  We need to raise 50% of this cost and the other half will be funded by Nether Edge and Sharrow Sustainable Transformation (NESST).  If we can raise £700 we can plant 2 trees.  

If you can donate something towards this appeal you will help us make Roach Road a greener street not just for the current residents but hopefully for future generations.
