Cedar Court plants memorial tree in special ceremony

Residents, Anchor colleagues and members of the local community including council workers and the voluntary and community sector attended the tree planting ceremony

The trees were bought by the county council’s tree and woodland service, which include Japanese Elm, Sweet Chestnut, Columnar Mountain Ash, and Common Walnut, from a garden centre in Leeming Bar. 

After the tree planting event, attendees were invited for refreshments and the opportunity to reminisce with each other. During the gatherings, residents shared the impact of losing loved ones during the pandemic. Council leader Cllr Carl Les said:
