trees

lookitsjonno · 11 Feb 2007 at 15:02

just got back in after being in a huge traffic jam.

when i finally got to the front i was totally appauled to see that the council are chopping about 15 mature (over 100 years old each) trees down on the island :mad:

now i'm not a tree hugger or anything, but it totally makes me sick how literally thousands of years old trees get simply chopped down in a day

it was a really pleasent and colourful roundabout in the summer too

anyone know who i target my complaint at at the council?

Mail your local MP?

Chopping trees down on an island? What island?

Id imagine he means island as in the bit of land in the middle of the roundabout he mentioned.

An island is one of the little refuges. A roundabout is just a roundabout

I'm curious as to how 15 100 yr old trees get onto a roundabout

8 on the roundabout, the rest on roads leading up to it.

Its a good point. Reason I thought he means the roundabout is that lots of people I know call the bit in the middle of the roundabout "the island" expecially if its grassed and has plants/trees etc.

Thats a bit daft given that there's already things out there that have that name on the roads.

What trees where they? They may of been dangerous or diseased.

Similar problem up here. A private company wants to install 12x450ft wind turbines on the hill at the rear of my house, the trouble is that there is a large forest there. They want to rip up half the forest to build the turbines. Hmmm, let's stop glaobal warming be ripping up 3 square miles of trees. :mad:

I don't even see the point of the turbines in this area as there is a nuclear power station less than 20 miles away.
