Will Sandry and Linear Park trees

During the summer, a number of trees are due to be cut down on the Linear Park around Monkesdale Road and Millmead Road.

This is so that the new bridges and access ramps can be installed over those roads.

Cllr Will Sandry said: “Volunteers from the Two Tunnels Project have marked the trees that will be cut down with yellow crosses so that local residents are not surprised when these tress are removed.

Sustrans who are managing the project have promised us that they will replant at least as many new trees as are cut down.

It’s disappointing to lose trees, but I’m happy that the new bridges and ramps will improve the accessibility of the Park for everyone, and with the replacemnt planting, enhance our environment”
