New planting to cheer people up
New trees in two of Slough s busiest roads are aimed at cheering up depressed residents forced to stay at home during the pandemic. The trees have been planted in Wexham Road and on the central reservation of Broadmark Road, Slough, after two Wexham Lea councillors decided to use some of their allocated Community Investment Fund to do it. In Wexham Road 73 trees have been planted. They include catalpa, gingko, magnolia and paulownia to provide year round colour and have been chosen for their ability to extract pollution from the environment to improve air quality.
