There's a tree growing in Bray . . .

Driving along the Veevay Road, I saw trees being planted in front of Centra, etc. Nice touch. They'll look great above the red brick foot path. Is there no limit to the spending of public money when beautifying what is, after all, a shopping area? Shouldn't the shop-owners pay for these improvements? Are their rates being raised in response to the increased custom that this beautifying will bring?

I don't know whether the shop owners are paying for these improvements, but I doubt it. I'd love to know for sure.
