Duxford trees - update

The parish council, the county highways team and local residents from Polecat Lane in Duxford and thereabouts met on site last week to assess the trees that provide a natural screen but which are also getting under the pavements and threatening foundations, as well as a tree nearby with a preservation order on it. The conservation team at the district have also been consulted and agreed the situation needed sorting out. The questyion was - to trim or to remove? 

The final agreement was that the trees - which are self-seeded and not remarkable specimens - will come down and the parish will work with local residents to plant suitable replacements.
