The Parish Council is getting some grief about trees that have been cut down at the entrance to the Recreation Ground.
It might seem grim but this work was only approved after a pretty careful inspection of all the mature trees in the parish. Many of them were old, dangerous, dying or all three.
Ok just like the parish council I hear, noises off. The action we have taken reflects our awareness of the need for constant maintenance of our tree population. They might look pretty but if your five year old grand daughter was under a falling trunk you might feel differently. Damned if we do and double damned if we don't

I find it interesting that ALL of the trees were cut down when the comment stated that MANY of the trees were old,dangerous, dying or all three. There are two questions that spring to mind:-
1. Was it necessary to cut all of them down?
2. Are the Parish Council planning to plant new saplings to replace those removed?
3. Is this action linked in to the debate we had some time ago about using part of the Recreation Ground for the expansion of the school?

Yes, Yes and No. Are the answer to all of those.
Stuff going in Cranfield Express fully explaining and you can come to the PC tomorrow night at Mitchell Hall, Wharley End 7.30 and give parish councillors hell. Its what we're there for.
