On 31 October, there was a quiet and contemplative ceremony in the Halstead Public Gardens, where a silver birch tree was planted in memory of David Hume, former councillor at HTC and BDC, and mayor of Halstead for 8 years. The planting was led by his partner Penny, and attended by members of his family, councillors, and staff from BDC and Halstead Town Council. It is hoped that the tree will remind us for many years to come of everything that David did for Halstead
