We the undersigned petition the Council to save the 26 established trees lining Clifford Bridge Road between Mill Lane and the roundabout leading to the B4082 from being cut down.
Some of the trees on Clifford Bridge Road are over 150 years old and there is a mixture of species each with their own eco system housing various wildlife. The trees take up particle pollution, carbon and drink hundreds of gallons of water saving some homes on the slope from flooding. Oak trees on the road have preservation orders.
The council initially told residents that some trees were diseased. When proven wrong, they decided they were stressed and now they say they have no longevity.
All of the trees on Clifford Bridge Road have between one hundred and six hundred years of life left in them if left to flourish.
The council intend to replant young trees, that none of us alive today will see mature in to fully grown trees.
Please help us SAVE THE TREES and sign the petition.
Coventry City Council have signed up to Net 0 over the coming
years. Felling healthy trees is exactly the opposite of being
green.
The council have decided to remove the trees to make way for a 2
lane cycleway. We ask that this is either re designed (saving the
trees) or a more less destructive route is found
