A tree has been planted near the Ock Valley Walk, close to where a large chestnut tree was recently felled. I believe the new tree is a Liquid Amber.

The tree is dedicated to Peter Green who did as much as anybody to make the Ock Valley Walk what it is today. Four Liquid Amber trees were added as part of the Market Place refurbishment during Pete’s year as mayor. They were about the size of this tree and have grown into fine sturdy trees which have a brilliant and long-lasting autumn colour.
