Save the trees on Laity Lane, Carbis Bay, Cornwall
Make the temporary Tree Preservation Order (TPO) that Cornwall Council placed on the trees on Laity Lane, Carbis Bay, Cornwall, PERMANENT.
Why is this important?
A temporary TPO was made on the 22 February 2015, and is only active for 6 months. After which time, the order is lifted or made permanent. One of the key elements in making this TPO permanent, is the support of not only local residents but visitors as well. The planned destruction of this beautiful stretch of trees and hedgerows is wrong because:
- they act as a haven to local wildlife and flora.
- they provide a significant contribution to the environmental quality and character of the area.
- they enhance the enjoyment of both local residents & visitors alike.
- their removal would have a significant, detrimental impact on the local environment and its enjoyment by the public.
- Carbis Bay and the wider area of West Cornwall has scant tree cover as it is.
Finally, perhaps most importantly, the trees and the hedgerows should be protected for their own sake
