Whilst I was at the Lib Dem conference the County Council again notified residents that they were about to start work on the trees. The notification was on the Friday with work due to start on the Monday. The County Council had not as agreed consulted with residents and in particular the Friends of Birklands set up to aid communication and avoid exactly this sort of problem.

Rob contacted the County Council Chief executive and the work was stopped. It will not now take place until there has been the agreed consultation with the friends of Birklands.
