Make a difference in South Portslade
South Portslade has a canopy cover of only 8.4%, significantly less tree cover than many other wards in Brighton & Hove. The city average is 10.5%, well below the national average of 16.4%. Due to disease, we are losing more trees than the council can afford to replace. Planting new street trees in South Portslade would benefit not just residents, but also commuters, businesses, and schoolchildren. Cleaner air, climate change mitigation, improved mental health, and more attractive streets are just some of the reasons why trees are so important!
