MP's Portsmouth tree plant honours centenary of women's suffrage
The tree planting programme was part of Portsmouth South MP, Stephen Morgan’s Vote100 Plant 100 initiative. As well as commemorating the centenary of women’s sufferage, the trees also signify what women can achieve in the next 100 years.
Mr Morgan said: ‘It’s so important to pay tribute to the heroic women who tirelessly fought for their democratic rights 100 years ago as well as seize the opportunity to look forward to what women will achieve in the next 100 years.’
