Over recent weeks I have read with some interest, letters regarding trees, firstly the difference of opinions with regard to the felling of two chestnut trees on Sedbergh Road at Kendal and numerous letters about the removal of trees in the proposed Market Place improvement!
I recently watched a David Attenborough television programme in Singapore where metal construction trees entwined with artificial branches and foliage were being constructed to encourage birdlife into the location.
Perhaps our planners should consider similar measures with proposed housing developments to increase numbers of bird life, hedgehogs and such like.
