Writes Sarah Hall, of Summersdale Road, Chichester

While I am in favour of all planting of trees to combat climate change and enhance our environment for wildlife, I have to point out the lack of care that occurs after the planting.

In the Chichester area particularly, our rainfall these days is very hit and miss.

With increasingly dry winters and dry springs and hot summers, any trees planted will struggle due to lack of rain.
