Sheffield tree protestors vs Amey's unnecessary plan to kill and remove at least 6000 of Sheffield's 35,000 street trees. Virtually all of the trees being removed are mature healthy trees so that Amey does not have to undertake maintenance for the duration of their 25 year contract, such as annual pruning or installation of solutions such as flexi-paving as is widespread elsewhere.
Here is a taste of what is happening on virtually every tree lined Sheffield street during 2017, amey, tree protestors, police and ambulances, and likely to continue well into 2018. Furthermore the Council has issued injunctions against many of the tree protestors in an attempt to silence peaceful protest.
And here are a few screen shots from the video to illustrate what could be gone within a matter of days, with many thousands more trees marked for felling.
