Here's a taste of what is happening to thousands of Sheffield's mature street trees on virtually every working day during 2017. Amey has been tasked with felling 6,000 of Sheffield's biggest and most beautiful street trees that in many cases that have taken over 100 years to mature. All that invested time is now being squandered so that the Labour controlled city council's contractor can avoid annual trees maintenance costs. Amey's solution is to fell the tree's, the consequences of which to many will only become apparent afterwards, as tree lined streets that bring a taste of the countryside to even inner city areas are increasingly become bland concrete wastelands. In fact the felling of thousands of large mature street tree's may be marking the end of Sheffield's house prices bull run as the value of trees taken 100 years to mature has now been lost to many streets.

This video documents what is happening on virtually every tree lined sheffield street during 2017, and likely to continue well into 2018.

And here are a few screen shots from the video to illustrate what could be gone within a matter of days, with many thousands more trees like it marked for felling.
