This is very sad and all because the previous council and small minded ass covering council officers had no imaginations for future development and reuse of a cemetery.
They could have designed like in parts of Europe or New Orleans. Instead the UK's "greenest city" destroys its last farm.

Did you know that a “kissing canopy” is when trees above a street or sidewalk grow to touch overhead, creating a cool, shaded place? Despite it being colder and darker these days, let’s remember the beauty and value that #StreetTrees add to our cities, IF we design for them. #KissingCanopies

Good decision in Southend.
I can't even imagine how pants a load of artificial trees on a high street would look!
The fact that it was even considered just goes to show that town planners and councillors need more training on the benefits real trees bring.
