Rustling Road trees are being felled right now

And keep doing so until Amey get the message...

 

I wonder, would it be vandalism if someone just dug up and replanted the tree in a different spot?

 

So I get that Amey say they removed some of these trees in the middle of the night to minimise disruption, but did they also not tell anyone about it in advance, to 'minimise disruption'? That's a genuine request for information, I don't know if they did or not, but we didn't see advance warning in the local press here in Gloucester, before they cut down at least three old trees by the bus station a few weeks back. They did it during the day, and closed the road for hours, so the idea that there were no notices put up in advance should be bizarre. Given that there was no residential housing around, a night-time operation should have been just the thing, so I'd be interested to know if Sheffield's nocturnal exploits were about not giving advance warning to potential objectors/protestors (or what some people around here call 'troublemakers')?

The early morning felling on Rustling Road was indeed were about not giving advance warning to potential objectors/protestors. That has been confirmed by the council.

Those are very interesting and I had not seen them before. Thank you.
