This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition Stop cutting down healthy trees in the UK.
Since 2015 there has been an increase of Trees being cut down all over England which is gathering momentum & becoming a sad but common practice. Not all of these trees are diseased so why are they being removed? Does the Government profit from these tree removals?
More details
In Norwood Green, Southall, several trees were cut down & then covered up with earth.
In Sudbury Town, several mature Willows have been felled.
In Acton Park, many trees within the park have been felled & left around the park for all to see.
In Ealing Common a very mature Horse Chestnut Tree was removed.
In Horsenden Hill, Conifers & some young Oaks have been removed.
I have collected many pictures of these cullings.
I'm sure you've noticed tree's removed down your street too...
