RIP Dartmouth Park - V





A few more trees bite the dust, or rather the mud.

A bonus for Sandwell, which seems hell bent on destroying the very things which it should be looking after, is that because of the wet weather, someone has been able to churn up parts of the turf as well.

What can be be in the minds of those who conceive and/or sanction this kind of civic vandalism?

Reasons which Sandwell have put forward for the widespread tree cutting in neighbouring Sandwell Valley include security; for public safety; so that saplings can grow and so that wild flowers can grow.

But none of these can apply to Dartmouth park where the trees are (were) healthy; widely spaced and in regularly maintained turf.

So what can Sandwell's different reason be for chopping down its healthy trees on both sides, and in the middle of, Dartmouth Park?
