Stroud Green trees planted to remember those who died from Covid found damaged

Two trees on Stroud Green that were planted in memory of those who died from Covid have been snapped in half.

Planted by Greenham Parish Council, two of the three cherry trees were found snapped in half this morning (Friday).

The three trees are on the corner of Racecourse Road and Greenham Road.

Michelle Power, a passerby, said: “I've just seen that some heartless mindless idiot has snapped two of the three trees planted on the corner of Stroud Green, in memory of the people lost to Covid.

“I just wish someone would needlessly damage something they care about for them to appreciate the hurt they cause.

“Apparently, a lady has been regularly tending and watering the trees to help protect them from the drought. What a shame we can't protect them from idiots too.”
