Rejected petition To stop the destruction of trees/wildlife on Network Rail embankments.
To stop network rail from destroying unnecessary trees that harbour an array of wildlife. They take it back to leave no trees or shrubs leaving a path of destruction.
More details
Network rail have been destroying trees and shrubs far more than they require. On the Network rail website it states 7 meters from track to tree is ample for safety, they have been taking up to 25m.
Please sign this petition to make more laws and legislations for more communication with residents and to agree on a plan of what needs to be removed for safety not just what Network rail wants to keep cost down. Also additional plans for future development i.e. A tree for a tree.
