The felling of 110 city centre trees is a 'shameful and shocking act' says Plymouth Green Party.
By Jonathan MorrisPlymouth City Council is facing calls for an independent inquiry into the decisions behind the night-time felling of 110 trees in the city centre.The council had paused the project in February for a public consultation but an executive order to fell the trees was signed by council leader Richard Bingley on Tuesday.Contractors fenced off public areas and felled the trees on Tuesday night as part of a £12.7m regeneration project before an injunction stopped work.
Green Party group leader Ian Poyser, councillor for Plympton Chaddlewood, said: "This kind of ecological vandalism must not be repeated."Campaign group Save the Trees of Armada Way said it had applied for a judicial review into the decision to fell the trees. Adam Cormack, head of campaigning at the Woodland Trust, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, it was "not always easy" to retain trees in a redevelopment.
