Skanska want to axe more trees!

Skanska are at it again! Not content with axing four trees at Cotham School without getting the appropriate permission, they now want to chop down one of the large London Plane trees on Cheltenham Road as part of the works at Colston's Girls School.

Unbelievably, Skanska were ranked at 4 in the Sunday Times list of the greenest companies. When they did their rankings they can't have been looking at the Bristol operation! Local residents are busy pointing out this contradiction to the Skanska head office in Sweden.

I have just fired off an objection to the planning application based on the proposed loss of the tree. You can do the same : e-mail north.planning@bristol.gov.uk quoting planning application 09/01456/FB.
