Can a case by made for planting new trees beside main roads in Brigg to replace mature examples that have been lost?
The town has very attractive avenues of trees lining its Wrawby Road (A18) and Bigby Road (A1084) approaches.
But disease, bad weather (including storms) and other factors have taken their toll in some instances.
North Lincolnshire Council is currently spearheading a praiseworthy 'green' campaign to plant 170,000 saplings across the area it administers. The locations are many and varied.
But as trees are lost, particularly on roadside verges, could replacements be planted in these gaps?
Rather than 'X' marking the spot, the rotting stumps give a good indication of the locations if the council decides to act along these lines.
