Following this OTS News release (see link below) Sefton Council today started work on the tree in Bowness Ave/Liverpool Road passageway.
Council threatening mature Ainsdale tree with felling, for no good reason!
Enough is enough!
Local author, Pat Regan, once worked for the council tree department (for almost 10 years) during the years of Dutch elm disease that blighted the area.
Pat stated that this healthy mature tree is as ‘solid as a rock’ and now that the specimen has been heavily pruned there is no need to worry about any safety issues that were in effect highly ‘questionable’, to say the least.
This grand old tree has been thriving for years and Ainsdale’s Cllr Haydn Preece is urgently seeking a site meeting with the council officer behind this outrageous issue with a view to halt further ecological destruction.
Sefton Council have no logical reason to waste our precious funding on unnecessary tree felling and especially when they have already admitted that they have no resources available to replace our Southport trees.

Sefton council wake up – stop wrecking our trees and wasting precious funding!
