The first political flyer I've received in the new house

Well, the heading says it all. Or most of it, anyway. Its from the Conservatives, telling us of their triumphs of course, though there's nothing directly related to a green renovator.

Two items are of some interest tho:

- in Burgess Hill, some new allotments have been released.

- in Haywards Heath, councillors are "looking at plans for tree planting schemes ... following the lead of London Mayor Boris Johnson. Cllr Margaret Baker says: 'Street trees are a low cost way of improving our environment, reducing pollution and making our town more attractive'. "

I have mixed feelings about the tree planting - obviously trees are good! But they can also be seen as window dressing, pure and simple. And on the other (third?) hand, Haywards Heath is fairly rich as towns go, so why not?
