MANY residents in the heart of Kennington will be disappointed that your feature on the new trees in Stannary Street (South London Press, October 21) failed to mention that they were planted to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee.We were not simply the lucky recipients of Trees for London's benevolence, but raised the money at a Jubilee Party last year. We were helped by Rydon Homes, who are developing a new residential property in Stannary Street.
Kate Hoey MP unveiled a plaque (designed by a resident) to commemorate the occasion. We would like to see other developers combine with local residents to improve the local environment, using Trees for London as their agent.
