Tree tribute to community efforts amid pandemic
Volunteers and town councillors came together to plant a tree in recognition of community members who helped during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Broseley Town Council planted a Prunus Amanogawa tree in the town’s Memorial Garden with the Mayor Tarlochen Singh Mohr joined by volunteers for the planting.
Broseley Memorials kindly donated a granite plaque with an inscription to celebrate everyone’s hard work and efforts during this difficult year.
It was aimed at giving the community a lift and saying a big thank you after a tough 2020 in which the people of the town have had to rally and look out for one another. The work and a small ceremony adhered to social distancing.
Several members of the community have volunteered during the coronavirus pandemic, offering to run errands, pick up medication and phone people for a chat when they are suffering from loneliness.
The Broseley Covid mutual aid group has been integral in sharing information and coordinate helpers with assisting those in need.
A Broseley Town Council spokesman said: “We would like to thank everyone for your courage, your kindness, your hard work, and most of all your support for one another.”
