tree felling

The crime scene is at the junction of Links Road with Gunton Cliff (was Esplanade). A tree has been neatly felled. The illegal, as described by Lowestoft Town Council, tree removal has caused much consternation. LTC have acted fast. The police are investigating.

Smaller trees have been removed nearby, as well. The trees are probably self-set sycamores.

The felling took place in Gunton Ward, which is bounded on the south by The Ravine.

The Greenprint Forum’s small grants scheme, Nature First, remains open for applications for grants towards community projects that promote and/or enhance biodiversity in east Suffolk. Several local grpoups have benefitted from Nature First,  including Friends of Dip Farm and Pathways.

Workmen are busy taking down the roof of the Triangle Sails, and have started to saw down the metal framework.

So far, the trees are still standing.

Lowestoft Town Council intends to improve the area by removing the sails, the structure, and two of the trees. They intend to replace the trees with other, smaller trees.
