I think that there have been a number of health studies that show that people live healthier lives in urban areas that have more trees.

Sure, no one wants a 100 foot monster outside their window plunging them into darkness and causing subsidence but it just so happens there are hundreds of different types and sizes of trees that you can plant in a street setting.

So all we need is a little imagination and forethought from the Council when selecting the trees to plant and a lot of the problems will go away, leaving us in the leafy oasis that I have always found FH to be.

PS Hats off to CatfordStreetTrees for a great piece of work.
