Young people are being encouraged to take a watering can to the borough’s new trees.

The council planted more than 500 over the winter but there are fears the hot weather could have an adverse effect on their health. 

Many have a plastic tube dug into the ground alongside the trunk which allows water to be poured deep into the soil.

The message to youngsters is, if you see a tree looking parched, please water it.
