Tender for phase two of the programme is let for Wirral Green Streets

Further to extensive work with residents and partners the second phase of street tree planting has been tendered to companies through Cheshire West and Chester Council's CHEST, an on line procurement initiative that allows registered landscape companies to tender for this type of work.The tender will ensure that the programme realises best value for the investment in this part of Wirral and will ensure that the contract is delivered to a high specification.

Work on the tree planting is set to start in January 2014 with over 200 trees planted on Cleveland St, price St, Beaufort Rd,Shore Rd, Tower Rd and parts of Argyll and Hamilton Streets. 

 Some trees like those pictured will be removed and replaced with larger trees with a greater volume of soil in their tree pit which will help the tree realise its potential and be more sustainable in terms of helping Wirral adapt to climate change.Tree typically are 7 degrees celcius cooler under the canopy and filter pollutants out of the air on busy transport routes.

 Trees around Price St and Cleveland St will make by the approaches to and through the area more presentable and more attractive to inward investment. Business areas have increased value where green infrastructure is part of the immediate landscape.
