Mayor of London Street Trees: Bexley

The Mayor of London’s street tree programme has identified priority areas across all London Boroughs desperately in need of street trees. A street tree can transform a local landscape adding colour and texture throughout the year, providing new habitats for wildlife and improving the general street environment for all by providing shelter and shade.

Trees for Cities is working in partnership with the London Borough of Bexley to engage local residents, schools and businesses in discussion about street trees through door knocking, mail drops and group workshops where participants are given the opportunity to discuss likes and dislikes, aspirations and concerns in order to find the best solutions and to build consensus within the community. 

Through this process Trees for Cities will assist in the establishment of approximately 100 new street trees by encouraging residents and local stakeholders to get involved in the care and maintenance of the new trees with our Love Trees Hotline. The trees will be planted by the London Borough of Bexley.

This project is supported by the London Tree and Woodland Grant Scheme Mayor’s Street Tree programme and Trees for Cities' Trees for Streets Campaign.
