I think most people want trees. Just trees that suited to their surroundings. -
A quick Google search found this service in Devon including several large print books and a home delivery service for those that can't get to a library. Might be worth a look if you haven't already considered this. Good luck. https://discover.librariesunlimited.org.uk/our-services -

Bit over-stated that. Fully-paved front drives cause same/worse issues. The hermetically-sealed, boundary-to-boundary hard surfaces you see all over Dulwich prevent natural rainwater from continuing to nourish the dirt/clay under the house. Houses around ED have very very shallow foundations which is the root cause, frankly. I just spent a year renovating a house down to the foundations and they barely exist and the brickwork is easily disturbed by any ground movement. Last time I checked, humans can't breathe their foundations can they? But most humans require oxygen... This foundations trope is the go-to bogey man. Defo not having a go at you Dave, I'm sure you'd prefer more trees to fewer trees, but short-term vs long term decisions must be made. Choices: Do we want a fully-paved, grey, barren landscape or greenery with all the health & beauty benefits?
