October saw the planting of several trees across the Ulverston area to commemorate the service of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III.

The Mayor of Ulverston, Michelle Scrogham, and Deputy Lieutenant, Julie Barton, helped by school children, planted trees at Croftlands Infants School, Croftlands Junior School, Sir John Barrow Primary, St Mary’s Primary and Ulverston Victoria High School.

Michelle and Julie were then joined by town councillors and Friends of Lightburn Park to plant a further two oak trees in Lightburn Park as part of the commemorative celebrations.
