It was on the BBC 6 O clock news. The council had told people about it in 2019 but COVID and other stuff got in the way. They should have been clearer that they were doing it now, but people had been consulted. They are putting in more trees than they cut down eventually, but possibly not Palm trees I think they said.

British trees I hope.
Yew and olive apparently.
