In Ratton, councillors Colin Belsey, Tony Freebody and Colin Murdoch approved £2,000 for eight new trees to be planted in Westfield Road, following requests from residents.

Meanwhile, Le Brun Road is benefitting from two new trees costing £500 from the devolved budget of Upperton councillors Pat Rodohan, Sammy Choudhury and Robin Maxted. This matches £500 raised by residents to pay for two further trees in that road.
