our trees. The chainsaw gangs have been felling healthy mature trees in the
city centre in the middle of the night to stop protests: they admitted this in
respect to the tree that used to be inside the ring of seats outside the
Westgate Centre. The row of trees down Castle Street has all been felled, and
now they have felled two 44-year-old plane trees planted by the Oxford
Preservation Trust without even consulting them.
I think this is sheer vandalism and it is horrifying.
Similar destruction has been carried out in a spot close to where I live in
Headington in the last few weeks.
