After a lot of campaigning I was pleased to recieve this e-mail:
Major tree works are planned to a number of tree belts in Bowthorpe this winter. The belts in which we are set to carry out work include:
· Rawley Road to Cloverhill Road
· Rawley Road to Beloe Ave
· Joe Ellis Ct
· Wendene (Both sides including areas covered by Braithwaite Close and Anwick Ct)
· Tippett Close
· Chapelbreak Road oppersite Astley Road
· Rear off Edrich way / The Columbine
Bowthorpe Cycle Way (Inc Stylman Road)
Bowthorpe Park
Chapel Break Centre
The work, scheduled to start later this month, will involve both thinning and coppicing operations. Thinning is the removal of selected trees to relieve overcrowding and to allow for the future growth of remaining specimens. Coppicing is the process of cutting back woody plants close to ground level and allowing the stumps to re-grow. The overall result will be more open, lighter, less oppressive tree belts that are more encouraging for wildlife, and safer, healthier individual trees.
Well Done Norwich City Council!

Good Work!
You campaigned to get a load of trees cut down?
What a surprise.
So do you think trees should grow indefinitely no matter what the impact on either the local population or the wellbeing of the trees themselves?
