Bristol City Council - Not Getting It - Episode 8

Yesterday we mentioned the insensitive and inappropriate replacement of a large Acacia tree with a meaningless Ginkgo in Canowie Road.

Here in Eugene Street, behind the BRI, and in true Bristol City Council fashion, they've done the same again. Look at this aerial view from 2003. A tree with a huge canopy.

Then, of course, Bristol City Council did this:

One more large street tree down, one more Ginkgo in the coffin of Bristol's existing and future generations.

Here at BristolStreetTrees we're all thick, so we don't count, but it would be useful if Bristol City Council could employ people with the correct qualifications when arbitrarily changing our streetscapes.
