Stop tree destruction in Memorial Park
Four long-established trees along Memorial Park Drive have been marked with crosses presumably for felling. Another tree in the car park is also reported to be going to make way for a disabled parking area.
Why is this important?
These trees are an important part of our beautiful local Memorial Park. They have important ecological and wildlife benefits. If felled, it would take many decades for replacement trees to grow. The original building seems to have been erected without tree destruction. Surely it's possible to achieve the same with the new building project. Given the challenges of climate change and high local pollution, it's everyone's responsibility to preserve our green spaces.
