Plans for total transformation of
Earlestown town centre revealed!

Gardening tip of the week:
Plant trees or new hedges

Autumn is the ideal time to plant new trees, shrubs and hedges – or to move existing ones, if you need to.

Before you plant a new tree, always do your research. Make sure you choose the right tree for the right location. Know how big you can expect the tree to grow, where it will cast its shade - and consider how far the roots will need to spread, too.
