Council to remove "Living Christmas Tree" from Birkdale Village in Southport

Sefton Council are to remove the "Living Christmas Tree" from Birkdale Village in Southport after people complained about on Facebook.

Really no words to describe this excuse of a Christmas tree, also sponsored by an estate agent, I have just retired being an estate agent and I would most certainly not put my name to this.

It looks like it has been dragged around Southport tied to a back of a car.

Its been there for a few years. It was just a skinny and sorry looking when it went up and its not much better now.

It’s the worst Xmas tree I’ve ever seen. I’m embarrassed for them.

A Sefton Council spokesperson said “The current, living tree in Birkdale is due to be replaced this week, weather permitting.

“The Council has been in touch with Birkdale Civic Society, whose members look after the tree, to let them know.”
