What I can’t get my head around is why did they cut it down? it was healthy, it wasn’t a danger or in the way by any means, I just get the feeling Kirklees council just don’t give a dam, why didn’t they spend the time cleaning up the Greenway instead of chopping down healthy trees along the Greenway, Oh yes it wasn’t just one tree there where about 5 or 6 just along the short stretch we walked along, also along this stretch was a load of rubbish they could have cleared that away instead, that would have been greener than cutting healthy trees down.
The whole point of the Greenway is to get from one place to another by walking, cycling, jogging or even on dry skis, and enjoy the greenery along the way, So surely it makes more sense to clean up rubbish than it is to cut down healthy trees.
