kicks into a new gear

Our multi-million pound Levelling Up funded Streets for People programme is continuing at pace as we repair potholes, improve footpaths and update streets around the city!

In addition to the road and footpath repairs, the next phase of this programme will also see trees and shrubbery planted, alongside the installation of new bins.

Planting trees has so many benefits, including: Helping to fight climate change by absorbing carbon and producing the oxygen that we breathe

They create green corridors for wildlife to thrive and move around our city

They help to reduce heat in the summer by creating shade and can cool the air

They reduce wind speed which reduces heat loss from nearby buildings in winter

There is also a growing body of research that shows that seeing trees or nature from your home reduces depression and anxiety

Tree-lined streets can slow traffic and reduce incidents of road rage.
