In the case of the planes of Alexandra Gardens, the cracks in the bloke's house are 'miminal' as one expert said, he could polyfilla them over, but these ideas turn into ideés fixes. the Council seem to be standing firm so far -unless I am out of date- but at the protest meeting the Council official in charge of the enquiry told me that if there is enough outcry the trees will stay. Enough said.
