AS it is National Tree planting week, I would like to thank ex-Blackburn councillors Jack Bury OBE and Gordon Toole.
Several years ago these two men of vision initiated a tree planting programme on the edge of Green Lane playing fields in Blackburn.
These trees have now reached a state of maturity and not only does their beauty enhance the area but it would be impossible to evaluate the influence they have had on the bird life.
It is unfortunate that councillors who represented the ward have not replaced trees that have died or been destroyed.
F BRADLEY (Mr), Eastview Terrace, Green Lane, Blackburn.
