Thame trees to be felled following complaints

A row of beech trees on the boundary between gardens and the Queen Elizabeth Circle in Thame, are to be felled, following complaints from residents about loss of light, leaf fall into gardens and root damage to buildings along the boundary line.
After rejecting a plan to have the existing trees pollarded, on the grounds that it would only be a tempory solution and an on-going expense, Thame Town Council’s Culture and Leisure commitee voted to remove the existing trees and plant new trees 30 feet into the recreation area.
It is expected that the work would be phased in over three years.
