AN AVENUE of oaks and wild cherries is to be planted alongside the main road in Benson to commemorate the Queen's 80th birthday.
And as the cherries will have a lifespan of only about 35 years, when they die the 50 oaks will be ready to take over their space.
The trees will be planted between Gurneys Garage and Churchfield Lane and there are also moves to plant alongside the A4074, screening St Helen's Avenue from the main road.
