A cursory glance at the City Council Planning Matters website shows that each
month, large mature tres continue to be cut down for no reason. On 24th June
the Tree officer gave permission to fell a handsome mature copper beech at 14,
St Andrews Lane, seeing "no objection". On 4th July permission was given to cut
down three cherry trees and an apple tree at 198, Iffley Road - again, no
objection raised.
Even if any replacements were being planted, the trees could not reach maturity
fast enough to compensate for this policy of destruction. Unfortunately people
see the surge in world food prices as a completely unrelated issue, and as for
all our talk of carbon reduction, that is just Labour/Libdem "greenwash".
