Tree Charter
14 February 2020
In August 2019, the Parish Council signed up to the Tree Charter demonstrating our commitment to the principles by which trees and people in the UK can stand stronger together. We want to make a difference to our environment and community by planting more trees so in February 2020 the Parish Council ordered 5 large trees (Oaks, Hawthorne and Field Maple) for delivery in September 2020. We also have ordered small trees which come in community packs for delivery in November 2020.
We are seeking your help in identifying areas where we can plant the trees we have ordered. Perhaps a roadside verge outside your house or common or other open areas in Salfords and Sidlow.
We still have more work to do on this but are thinking about enabling residents to dedicate and record their tree dedication and location in a ‘Parish Tree Register’, perhaps for a new born relative or to commemorate someone who has passed away. Future generations may then be able to see our legacy.
An ideal would be a dedicated area where we could plant multiple trees that could be looked after for two years. Perhaps you would or know someone who would be willing to allocate some land?
We live in a beautiful parish with much greenery and trees to enjoy, however as we know, trees are increasingly vital to our environment and planting more can only be a good thing!
If you are interested in any of the above, please contact the Clerk.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), has accredited Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council with the Quality Gold Award. for the Local Council Awards Scheme. We submitted our application in May. Receiving the Quality Gold Award is an excellent achievement showing that our local parish council achieves good practices in governance, community engagement and council improvement. Furthermore, this award shows that our council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations; we lead our community and continuously seek opportunities to improve and develop even further. We are very proud of this achievement and plan to continue to develop and work with our community to obtain the best outcomes for what is wanted in our villages.
