Our latest profile pic celebrates the flowering cherry blossom that's particularly a feature of spring in our 1950s/1960s Council estates. Here near the junction of Parklands Road and St Paul's Road, where at least 2 other colours of blossom were on display.

The planting phase of this year's hedgerow project at OtterClose/St Paul's Road is now complete. The last mulch was added on Friday 11th April 2025, thanks to the hard work of local volunteers.
The support of both individual volunteers and businesses/organisations was very much appreciated.

It's looking a bit sad! Hoping @wsccnews.bsky.social hurry up with the pavement resurfacing project design, that our parish Council insists should provide more space for trees planted in the ground.

What's that tree? It might just be a giant redwood that's had its top cut out a few years ago, so currently lacks the tree's distinctive shape. On the left as you leave Chi on St Paul's Road, just beside the Centurion Way bridge.

In 2025, Chi Tree Wardens will be updating our city centre Tree Trail. We would love to hear from Chichester residents and visitors about your favourite places and trees. Several trees have been lost/are at risk in our current Trail and we could develop a whole new route. (Photo TT8 giant redwood)
