Alcoblog Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Residents of Western Road in Crookes got letters this morning telling them that Amey plan to cut down the WW1 memorial trees soon. Can't see that happening without the Amey monkeys hiring either armed police, or the SAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince al Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The Amey managers who sanctioned this disgrace should be arrested and charged with environmental vandalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 We also got a letter today asking us to look at the plans for our street's trees online and then if most of the residents disagree with them, they'll be sent to the independent panel. Just what is the point sending these out if the results of the tree panel are disregarded anyway, Councillor Lodge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-H Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 We also got a letter today asking us to look at the plans for our street's trees online and then if most of the residents disagree with them, they'll be sent to the independent panel. Just what is the point sending these out if the results of the tree panel are disregarded anyway, Councillor Lodge? Is it even possible to look at what is planned for each individual tree anymore? There used to be felling lists published online, which would explain which trees would be felled (with their exact location) including the reason why, but I believe they have stopped being published. It makes it impossible for someone to check which trees are threatened near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin-H Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Does anybody know if the Independent Tree Panel looked at the proposals for the tree removals on Western Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Does anybody know if the Independent Tree Panel looked at the proposals for the tree removals on Western Road? I've had a look at the tree panel site but can't see any reference to Western Road. I've emailed them on this very subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Afzal Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The real problem was planting the trees many years ago so close to roads and paths. Trees should be in woods, forests, fields and parks, and should be well away from boundaries of roads and footpaths. If there are paths and roads that have been built after the trees were planted, then the trees should have been removed at that time. What happened to common sense. It’s just plain dumb to plant trees so close to areas like this. What would you do if it was the foundation of your home that was at risk from the tree roots? You would want the trees chopping down as soon as possible. Good on the council for using some common sense, late in the day though it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Residents of Western Road in Crookes got letters this morning telling them that Amey plan to cut down the WW1 memorial trees soon. Not heard of these. Are they the trees that line the whole length of the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogg Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Went through Rustlings Road today - what a sorry state without its trees. What a legacy for this council to claim. Shame on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
