Northumberland County Council did a similar thing by ripping out established bushes in a residential area without any consultation with residents. Despite many attempts to find out why, I couldn’t get any comment from the council officer involved, who refused to answer my direct questions as to why she made that decision. I finally got a vague response from the press office. https://www.theambler.co.uk/2023/10/12/shrubs-removal-leaves-residents-and-councillors-stumped/

I guess the proof will be whether any replanting takes place. Seems an unnecessary expense though. Good to hear from you Anna, hope alls well!
Congrats on the award! 'Tenacious' is such a compliment.
Thanks Michael! And thanks also for your support!
It’s much easier to get rid of ivy than to uproot whole trees and shrubs. NY council has no idea what locals want because they don’t ask!
