Mayor and Mayoress, Ian and Christine Duckworth
Three silver birch trees are to be planted at Drake Street's Wet Rake Gardens on Monday (2 October) after Mayor Ian Duckworth put in a request to lift the area for those travelling into the town centre via the Metrolink, and 'soften the background of shops'.
Ian Trickett, Greenspace Development and Countryside Manager, said: “We will be planting three silver Birch trees at Wet Rake Gardens on Monday (2 October) following a request by the Mayor, Ian Duckworth.
"This complements work previously undertaken by the council to install new footpaths and benches in the gardens, providing a really attractive entrance to this important gateway into Rochdale town centre.”
