There is a line of young Wellingtonia near the Admaston House Community Centre, this is very apt as the building and grounds stand in Wellington Road. It is great to see a council planting something a little different. The green lobby should approve, given that these Giant Redwood will not only lock up an enormous amount of carbon dioxide but will also keep it for thousands of years. Although I like to think they planted them just because they look good!
