Replacement of dead and removed Tree, Burleigh Street

Unfortunately, a dead tree was removed on Burleigh Street outside the British Red Cross shop. Although there is a single tree still in situ close by if this other tree were lost there would be no trees all the way along Burleigh Street this would be a considerable distance from East Road through to the bottom end of Fitzroy Street along the Road making this hard landscape an even harder landscape. To replant a tree in the same position would likely be easier than finding another location, although it would still require an engineered tree pit. Trees in such a heavily pedestrianised area offer many benefits including shade, shelter, greenery (wellbeing), softening of the hard built environment, biodiversity, nesting and roosting etc.
