If anyone has walked into Earl Street, this week will see the destruction of the two nice plane trees at the top of the road. They gave a continental feel of the street with the open pubs and restaurants. Also they helped with the air pollution and gave nice shade in the afternoon sun.
Why were these not trimmed in the autumn?, when new shoots could grow in the spring and been able to produce leaves for this year.

Apparantly, the truth is that as the trees were pollards several years ago, and it is time to do it again. I am sure in a years time they should look like tress again! The sparrows will just have to find somewhere else for a while.
