The conifers alongside the tennis court and swimming pool are being axed for no good reason, and no one was given any option on that – choice on that questionnaire was between two types of replacement hedge. Like the majority of swimmers, I feel the conifers by the pool are a useful screen for privacy and for wind. <br> <br> <br> The bottom line should surely be NO removal of trees other than for good sound reasons. I think that was the will of the majority and certainly the view of everyone I talk to .
