I think 8 trees have been added. Based on the evidence of the new planting at Piccardy Place, I’d suggest that only 2 or 3 will ever reach maturity.

Miserable plan on that length of street space ☹️

The shops and businesses there should think on it; a cooler and more pastoral street with *more* trees will keep shoppers coming in summer, partic vs competing St James Qtr & its air conditioning

I think use of George Street for festivals and events is a key factor in the design and lack of trees 🎪🎡🎠

😕 Probs. A consequence of that will be greater need for mechanised cooling & heightened energy consumption
