I noticed yesterday, 31st May 2008, that a number of healthy trees had been hacked down on the Nature Trail adjacent to the new Hurstwood development at Newhallhey. I was under the impression that felling trees was illegal during the nesting and breeding season from May to October, and this is totally out of order and needs to be looked into right away.
I have attached two pictures of the 'vandalised' area, please look into this before any more trees, birds and wildlife habitats are destroyed at this important time of year.

Updates
Well no response, but what did I expect, not even a negative reply from the council, who obviously don't care about such things, given similar events in other parts of the area. You can rest assured if this had happened in one of the councillor's backyards there would have been a swift response.
