PEMBROKE PCC revenge

Three site visits now a Town Hall Meeting to enforce Richard Stadens revenge for overturning six of his decisions
 Today this appeared next to the pavement in the park. Western Power want to site the replacement next to the pavement approximately three times the volume of the dog waste bin
At the site meeting Staden said he wanted an excuse to cut branches off the cedar maimed by PCC     I had saved this to preserve the balance of the tree He would use the opportunity to fell the sycamores (as weeds) all of which will allow the wind to rip through our sheltered gardens all had been advised by Staden to fell.
Locals had two sit ins to stop the felling
Staden was concerned at damage to roots due to  vehicle compaction Western Power want to site at the pavement edge NO VEHICLE TRAFFIC NO COMPACTION

PCC Policy of not replacing trees Pembroke

Undercover

Trees to be cut down

Replacement of sub station on the Green Pembroke
 The new station has a smaller footprint
We prefer the original site chosen by Western Power and were astounded that PCC for their own purposes proposed to cut down these trees for their own purposes

Sycamores are endemic to this coast, what is infinitely MORE important is that they host ferns bryophytes  lichens and mosses which are under threat  or absent from trees with other bark characteristics

West wales is one of the few places where these  exist  being washed off by acid rain as on ash etc. Sycamore bark is alkaline 

The policy of PCC is remove trees to prevent on going costs,see Martello Estate and Ferry Lane latest.

Pembroke has had fifty per cent tree loss in the last ten years,if replaced, it has been by northern exotics which have no place here. 

Cutting these sycamores down would allow wind damage to remove the rest including the Cedar almost destroyed by having   half roots its  cut by PCC works others damaged by PCC use of strimmers around the base  ring barking the tree.

If PCC had had its way ALL these trees would have been removed

Visit the site and see for yourselves a succession of snow drops,primroses daffodil bluebells  arum lilies and umbelliferae, there are bank voles  and hedgehogs in the pembrokeshire bank

Local people have persuaded PCC not to mow the site until the end of Jjune it then grows a range of grasses

 The six houses and the trees in the hedge shelter the gardens cutting down these trees would destroy the shelter and allow the verdant gardens to be wind damaged

 GREEN CONCRETE

Spring Destruction

Out come the chain saws to the wildlife strip on the North Bank of Pembroke Mill Pond Local Nature Reserve
