splodge on a few trees until it looks right, print it off as a map and send someone round to B&Q.

you see the word ‘splodge’ kind of embodies DCC’s planting policy for me & i just don’t trust them to decide what looks right !!!

once a tree goes in, assuming it lasts by accident or design for 20 years, aquring a level of gravitas in the process, its likely to remain part of the street scape for the next 50 years+ with obvious potential to significantly alter the appearance of the street / space.

so a little hotch-potch patch-up job in a visual ‘wasteland’ like smithfield could come to be emblematic of the space and should not be undertaken on a whim! :p
