Sir – It was with some sadness that I saw the destruction of a beautiful line of conifer trees that bordered the New St Modwen Development in Whittington Road.

Why? This was almost a landmark for motorists leaving the city down the Whittington Road dual track.

This coupled with a wholesale destruction of many other large trees on this site makes me wonder who stood by and let this happen.

I saw the carcass of a huge sound oak tree, tossed aside during this development.

What hope is there for the planet if ruthless developers like this are allowed to continue.
