AN IMPASSIONED plea for the return of a memorial tree has appeared on a walk in the Risca area.
Passers-by have noticed a sign between Ynysddu and Wyllie, saying a tree planted in memory of a man's wife had been taken.
The sign appeals for the tree to be returned.

It reads: "Please help. Opposite this bench a puzzle tree was planted in memory of my wife, Allison, on the day her ashes were laid to rest.
"It has been taken, probably by someone who thinks it would look better in their garden, on April 16/17.
"Please put it back. I'm sure you did not realise the hurt its removal would cause. Thank you."
Gwent Police confirmed that they had not received any reports of a tree stolen from the area on the specified dates.
