Thanks for your feedback

Our team conducted community consultation activities from September into October 2025 and received valuable feedback on the proposed design. The purpose of the consultation was to identify resident priorities and preferences around the placement and species selection of the trees planned for these areas. Input from residents, local stakeholders, and council staff/maintenance teams was considered in parallel and informed the amendments to the design. 

We have taken care not to affect the playing field space used for sports. All trees planted this season will be carefully selected for their suitability at the site and looked after by Trees for Cities staff for 3 years to encourage their establishment. After this period, the trees will be under the care of environment maintenance and park teams at Hillingdon Council. 

We hope these trees will be a welcome improvement to the park and provide lasting benefits to the environment and the local community.
