Our Memorial Tree
Some of you may be aware that there has recently been some discussion regarding flowers and other tributes being left at the tree recently.
Whilst these lovingly placed momentos are touching additions which we appreciate mean so much, we do however ask that nothing is left on or under the tree.
This is partly to protect the tree and patio area from damage and hopefully discourage people from climbing over the fence for a closer look, especially as we will soon be having a new low hedge planted around the tree.
Unfortunately we don't have enough volunteers to commit to keeping the area clear and removing finished flowers.
When the tree was first installed on the island we agreed with the council that there would be nothing but the leaves added to the tree area ,and as the council maintain the island, we wish to honour that agreement.
Of course families are most welcome to place tributes and flowers and photograph them,however we respectfully ask that any thing placed is removed when you leave.
Thanks you for your understanding
Love from all the team at Berkshire Sands 🍁💗💙
