Save Grays School

Please DON'T think that the trees will save the grounds!

I can state and have seen, and under the authority of LDC, they do not care when it comes to trees. In our next neighbouring town, a similar incident and everyone thought the trees would save the grounds, WRONG!

Even though said trees were certified by two independent specialists and tree surgeons, LDC own specialists said they were diseased and they were cut down and destroyed very quickly at blink of an eye.

Yet again in Newhaven over the last couple of days, a development site is being worked on. The original plans shows the trees will not be touched and the tree roots were surveyed and protected. What was I seeing, the tree's being cut down. LDC was not interested and was only the help of Newhaven Town Council that intervened and got an interim order to stop. But i don't think they will be safe.

All I’m saying is, when it comes down to the crunch, prime development land, back handers, corrupt councillors and dodgy handshakes, LDC do not care. Prepare to wave good bye to the trees which I’m sorry to say as excuses will be made.
