THE LEGH ARMS on LEGH ROAD in KNUTSFORD CHESHIRE
Although I am a Scouser, I and the Lady of the Villa spent most of our time in the UK and in Knutsford Cheshire. We actually lived in Legh Road in Knutsford which is why this article in the local press caught my eye.
"A LANDSCAPING firm has been fined £10,000 after pleading guilty to destroying more than 20 protected trees in the Legh Road conservation area. A subsequent investigation by the authority’s tree officer found that protected species including oak, scots pine, yew and holly had been cut down and uprooted.
Other trees, including a yew, had been pruned without permission and the roots of a mature beech, holly and sycamore were damaged during the landscaping works in the autumn of last year."
We had a tree in the centre of our drive which we had attempted to have removed. No way would the council move on this. If I had had it chopped down how much would I have been fined for one tree?
