Facebook campaign to save special Sutton Hill tree

Sutton Hill residents have started a Facebook page to save the tree planted in honour of a visit to the estate by the Queen in 1967.

The plaque and tree marking the occasion in Sandicroft are still intact 47 years after the visit but it's at risk from the council's regeneration programme prompting a local campaign to save it.
