TheTeapot Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I hate petitions, they're stupid and don't work, but even I've signed that one. It's absurd. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 The planning app is fairly complicated. I'm quite disappointed in manx roots for going along with it. I know its his business to cut down trees, but he's busy as hell anyway so it's not like he needs the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What is the exact reason for removal? I’ve seen the kick off over Facebook but I can’t see it being allowed to be removed just for the sake of it. Is it possibly a height clearance issue? Along the likes of Patrick road is similar in a large vehicle, lots of funny shaped trees with some of it growing almost downwards into the roadway.

I went and had a nose at this. The above is slightly misleading in relation to Malew Commissioners. They didn't fail to object. Like it was missed. They saw it and supported it. It also looks like a lot of work has gone into it in relation to planting of new trees etc. Clearly because it's Barrowman people will immediately start whining and nudge nudge wink winking but it appears that every man and his dog has had their tuppence worth on this one. Why couldn't or didn't the Wildlife Trust object? Are they not recognised? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
