Cllr Graham Winter, Mayor of Weymouth Town Council, said:
“Planting trees helps to offset the Council’s carbon emissions and promotes biodiversity within our open spaces. This is a great opportunity for us to work together with the local community to make a positive difference to the open space at Links Road and create a greener environment for all to enjoy.”
In response to the climate threat, Weymouth Town Council have declared a climate emergency and we have committed to making the Council’s activities net zero carbon by 2030. The planting of trees is one of the many actions which we are taking in order to achieve this. Further information on our work can be found here.
