The Patcham Elms

As the two ancient elm trees in Elm Square, Patcham, have had to be felled as a result of Dutch elm disease, Brighton Lions offered to pay for replacement trees to mark the 60th anniversary for the founding of the Club. The Council responded that they would accept a donation (to pay for seven trees at £150 a tree) but would not allow us to have a plaque stating who had paid for the trees and why. We have decided not to make the donation.
