A THOUSAND new trees for the Millennium!

Can I add my support to Mrs Drane's great idea for some trees for Morecambe Promenade (Citizen, May 21) and indeed the whole area. I've long held the view that the fine improvements to the prom, particularly the Tern Project, needs this extra ingredient that would transform the front. Up to now, anyone arriving at the Festival Market or Morrisions area are greeted by a forest of car parks and wall to wall concrete apart from a a few excellent bird sculptures. Trees provide screening as well as natural beauty. What better way to spend some of the £1 million capital available to the council over the next few years?
