The Council TPO should be out there looking at the damage done as these trees are under their protection. As with Highfield House in Hall Green, the damage to these trees can be seen and it is obvious, as with Highfield House, that the owner of the land wishes to damage the roots and then cut them down as dangerous. Surely, the Council and the TPO cannot be so naive again!! Has the Planning Dept given the “wink” that the p.a. will be passed as they are proceeding with the work.

It would seem that the whole situation regarding this green area has been badly handled. All these types of plans just slowly but surely reduce areas like the green to nothing of interest and nothing to recommend them. We must preserve our green spaces for the future and preserve our historical links which will be important in years to come for the area and community. I have had my comment on the planning application and hope that others do the same. Thank you for raising this concern.

It indeed would be a sad loss if more trees were taken down, because of the historical links of course, but also the adding to the upset that this loss of green space has already caused to lots of local people. Thanks for highlighting it.
