Houses around here had loads of established Hawthorn trees which are being removed to accommodate more paving slabs. It is sad to see.

Not far from me developers have managed to overrule a refusal from the local council to build 475 homes on the south downs with at least one other similar scale development in the works

It's so counterproductive too, trees offer shade and filter the air.
Also everyone loves birds and they need trees.
Perhaps some evil people didn't fancy the bird poo, or the council had their budget cut and now has no money to take care of the trees, but yes it's sad :(
I'll be planting a few trees in the new house back garden along with hedges.

Here you can sneak into the local spar in a Primark dressing gown. Dryrobes, pah, fancy stuff.
I hate people digging up their garden cos of fecking parking... neighbours are removing part and there is a nice small decorative cherry tree on it. It got groomed (well trimmed, it's not a dog) every year and robins / tits sit and sing on it.
But no. Even though you can plop two cars on it just need to be smart who has to leave first and swap at night. So it's chainsaw time and concrete.
Bah.
I did rescue the roses & bulbs. I could have the tree but the roots are too large it cannot be dug up & moved.
