Green Labour provides a breath of fresh air

As part of our commitment to improve the environment and help tackle climate change, one of your local Labour councillors, Nick Clarke helped plant 60 trees in Bolsover recently. Nick Clarke planting trees on Langwith Road in Bolsover

The trees were part of Bolsover District Council’s £270,000 grant from the Woodlands Trust to create community woodlands and is part of the first phase in our ambition to grow one million trees.

Species such as Lime, Field Maple, Rowan, Bird Cherry and Hawthorne were planted on Langwith Road in the town as the Council looks at areas up and down the district to create legacies and places of tranquillity that future generations can enjoy.

One local resident came out to speak to the workmen and said, “Just a quick 'thank you' for organising the tree planting near my house on Langwith Road. They will look beautiful when they have got themselves established and be brilliant for the immediate environment.”
