Georgina Bishop "A tree has been planted in memory of a 13-year-old boy who died after being hit by a car on Switchback Road North four days before Christmas. Max Simmons, a Furze Platt Senior School student, was walking along the road, between Furze Platt and Cookham, on Saturday, December 21 when he was fatally struck by a car. The cherry blossom tree, which stands in his memory at the scene of the incident, was chosen by Max’s mum, Emma, and planted by Tom Copas. Mr Copas is family partner of diversified farming business, The Copas Partnership, whose office is based in Kings Coppice Farm in Grubwood Lane, Cookham. He said: “We were very upset to hear about the accident and we thought it was an opportunity to do something significant, I was planting some trees, so I thought I’d offer to plant a tree for her.” Emma described the tree planting as a ‘feel good moment’ at an uncertain time, and an opportunity to reflect and think about Max. She said: “The whole community were, and still are, an amazing source of support for myself and my 17-year-old son, Harry [Appleton]."
