Mindless tree and vegetation removal .
Stop removing trees and vegetation unless a totally independent body agrees it is absolutely necessary on safety grounds.
Why is this important?
The trees and vegetation which have been at the side of tracks etc. have been there for hundreds of years .Network rail have over the last few years gone into overdrive removing it and not allowing if to regrow using various excuses for doing so . This natural barrier is a haven for animals and wildlife, acts as a privacy/sound barrier for those living close to the track and enhances the look of the area .
It is also extremely important as the trees and shrubs help to protect against pollution and help cleaning the air.
