On 17th August 2023 Worplesdon Parish Council tidied the planters in Fairlands Ave, which had become an eye-sore.

The Clerk and Finance Officer, assisted by Cllr Brigitte Ahier, weeded the planters, added compost, tree bark, and finally painted the railway sleepers with forest green wood preservative.

The total cost of the materials came to just over £100.

Moving forward, the Parish Council will maintain the planters, although the trees will remain the responsibility of Surrey Council Council.
