Laughton Common Village Tree
The village tree is being planted for all residents of Laughton Common. It is in memory of the people in the past that made the village the strong community it was. It represents all present residents fighting and succeeding to get the community spirit back. And all future residents that will feel the benefit of all the hard work it takes to be a community to be proud of. Donated by the New Laughton Common Co-Op working together with Laughton Common New TARA. 
This TARA is working with partners to engage young people with the aim of creating a youth section in the near future. Details of the public arts project being undertaken by Gillian Brant can be found here.
