The council admitted it did not speak directly to those residents – who argue that the unimpeded view adds value to their homes – before planting the trees. “It’s utterly ridiculous that a small number of residents have a veto on whether or not we plant trees,” she said.More than 60 of the trees have also been vandalised, with some having their stakes removed.Angela Wiffen, Denice Perryman and John Stirk, of the Friends of the Skeleton Creek conservation group, want the council to leave all the trees where they were planted.“It’s an area absolutely devoid of any vegetation, we need trees for people to use that trail,” she said.
The council also acknowledged in a report that there was “considerable risk of tree loss” after relocation.
