County Councillor Alan Cockburn was allocated £2,500 of his personal county budget to go towards the scheme, which was matched by Kenilworth Round Table.

He said: “They kindly match funded the £2,500, which is great. I think they deserve a pat on the back.”

Cllr Cockburn also hopes residents will come forward next year to allow a tree to be planted outside their own home.

“I hope to be given the same amount next year and I will be asking Round Table to match the funding again.” Trees were also planted in Fishponds Road, Farmer Ward Road and The Gardens as part of the scheme.
