Norton Lees tree protest 7/11.

So what if the all of the protesters don't live in the immediate area

 

Professional protesters who travel the country just to attend protests weaken the argument.

Please provide some evidence that protestors have 'travelled the country' to attend the protests.

 

Protestors are from around Sheffield. I really don't see any problem with that at all.

Everyone is entitled to protest on whichever subject they choose.

The guy who climbed the oak tree in Dore was from Southampton. He got down when the wind got up and it started raining:-)

Of course, but that's beside the point; When protesters have to be "bussed in" as it were, from afar, to protest on an issue pertinent only to a particular area, it brings in to question the strength of feeling on the issue of the actual people of that particular area.

 

Just to be clear I'm strongly against the unnecessary felling of healthy trees in Sheffield.

Tell that to the UAF lot

I haven't made it clear in my OP and replies that I am strongly against the felling of healthy trees that don't cause an obstruction.

You tell these protestors have very little in the way cells in their heads. The tree is clearly an obstruction and needs to come down.

The trees are also being felled on Crawford road. One poster was placed on tree saying the claims that the damage they were doing was a lie. Well the pavement was raised up by about a foot. The curbing had gone and the person living next to it had a wall that was being damage by it. A least they should have had the intelligence to put it on a tree that wasn't doing any visible damage.

As it is the tree has gone. The post made a claim that the trees would not be replaced and the council is lying. Well they are putting new trees in.

Of course these protestors will be the first to complain if one of the trees blew down and damaged their house or would sue the council if they fell over the broken pavement and hurt themselves.

It's like people who protest about mobile phone masts yet use mobiles and complain when they can't get a signal.

Maybe in future protests the protesters could consult the local residents whether a tree should go or not and not take it upon themselves to be judge and jury.
