A Blackpool Council spokesman said: "We want to make sure that Blackpool has healthy, diverse and well-managed green spaces, and you can help us to make this happen by completing our tree strategy survey before 30 April.

"Our tree strategy document helps us to responsibly manage our trees so that we can improve local areas for our community, wildlife and visitor experience, so we really want you to have your say.
