A partnership project at Whitehead Gardens in Tottington is taking another step forward as tree works are carried out to remove those trees that are dead
The works will be carried out across the week
and parts of the gardens will be intermittently closed to the public for safety reasons
Other works to be carried out at the site include improvements to access and pathways
and bringing the staged area within the gardens back into community use
The full improvement programme is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (circa £150k) Bury Council (£20k) and is being delivered in partnership with Bury West Rotary Club
Tottington Primary and Tottington High School
 And overseeing delivery of the project is community interest company Proffitts – Investing in Communities
Climate Change and Operations said: “This is an exciting time for Whitehead Gardens as this partnership improvement project gets underway
People shouldn’t be concerned by the tree works at this site
There will also be some pruning works to remove dead branches and improve the structure and safety of the healthy trees that will remain in the gardens
“Quality green spaces are so important for social interaction
the people of Tottington will have a fantastic asset that everyone can enjoy for many years to come.”  
A representative of Tottington and Bury West Rotary Club commented: “After several months consulting with visitors
planning approval for the tree work has been secured and contractors will now be able to start removing some of the dead
dying and diseased trees within the gardens
The work will not only make the site safer and lighter for visitors
but we should also see the healthier trees and plants begin to flourish more too.’’
Landscape Architect from Proffitts – Investing in Communities said: “We’re delighted to be part of a project that helps keep amazing spaces like WhiteheadGardens accessible for everyone
our key aim is to minimise any environmental impacts and keep the space as natural as possible
and plant a mixture of new trees and native understorey shrubs
local school children will also help plant woodland plugs and bulbs that should bring much more colour
