A Holm oak was planted to commemorate a long standing member of the
Committee and trees were planted in containers in the area of the Biggleswade
Link, adjacent to the cinema in St George’s Place.
The recent KCC decision to fell trees in the Longport area due to disease
initiated a number of discussions with local authority staff. The outcome
was a commitment from KCC to replace them with mature American Pin Oaks
in the autumn of 2007.
The roots of the OHDS were planted by a group of local residents who
were concerned about the trees in the Shrubbery. Our Society has grown
many branches since then but our concern for our trees still remains.
