SOME MORE COMMENTS…

And a call to action for Saltaire Trees

“Undo the horrible damage you have done. This was pure vandalism”

“Keep the trees what TPO's where in force for this street that constituted an Avenue Consult external bodies independent of the council ensure the consultation was adequate and discipline the Council Officer who failed this project and made a major over sight”

RE PLANT THE TREES!

About the consultation….

“Totally misleading. I do hope that after all this they are not going to take out the beautiful trees on Albert Road”

About access…“The council managed to lower kerbs and pavements for disabled access throughout the whole village, but couldn’t redesign and raise the walkways around the trees? The council has shown themselves to be myopic, shortsighted, uncreative and completely devoid of any appreciation for the natural beauty that the trees gave Saltaire. Each year the horse chestnuts and cherry blossoms were breathtaking.”

About the next steps…

◦I think Bradford Council are a disgrace. I really hope they don’t try and extend the by-pass through Hirstwood. Nothing surprises me though as they seem hell bent on doing exactly what they want without any consideration to the environment and local feeling. Surely the World Heritage Status is something to be proud of and brings in not only visitors but film companies.

Before and after….

I LIVE ON THIS STREET, IT WASN’T ABOUT THE RESIDENTS. PEOPLE CAME AND ASKED WHAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT THEM BEING

PULLED DOWN – NOT THAT WE HAD A CHOICE.

◦I would have preferred to see ALL the trees replaced with a more suitable species and the pavements repaired. Or the current trees managed, and the pavements repaired. It is ludicrous to remove the trees entirely as it ruins the look and character of the village, and is sure to lower the value of the properties within. I would also be concerned about the effect it has on tourism and the World heritage status, surely we should be improving the jewel in Bradford crown, not systematically destroying it?

About feelings…

◦It looks awful now, barren, bare! It had trees on Victoria Road all my life. Now it’s spoilt. I understand the roots were damaging properties but put something back in their place.
