Ok I get it. No bad news tree stories whilst we run up to local elections. Lab get their majority in #Sheffield then it’s back to #felling https://t.co/IuTqzjG1rc

It’s hard to believe that this abuse of power is happening in the streets of a British city. #Sheffield has become an urban battlefield. The @SheffCouncil is conducting a relentless #WarAgainstTrees, they sold out the residents’ most precious possession, their #trees to @Ameyplc https://t.co/MhgfQGsmZE

Sheffield Council have justified some tree felling because they're "dangerous to cyclists" #SaveSheffTrees

[Andy Kershaw Media 🎙️ @andyksheffield]

South Yorkshire Police slammed today for having the worst record on 999 call delays, arresting a woman for blowing a toy trumpet at tree protest yesterday. Police & Crime commissioner Dr Billings @SYPCC MUST now intervene.

David Kennedy. He's 90 years old and during the 2nd World War he served in the Arctic Convoy (HMS Domett K473). Churchill described the Convoy as "the worst journey in the world" a statement borne out by the number of sailors who never came back. How many Retweets we get him

We've had nowt but lies from the Council. Now the truth is out - via FOI request.There is a target to fell HALF of Sheffield's Street Trees, despite denials of targets by the council - and 2 residents are facing £27k legal costs for daring to act. #saveshefftrees

A £2.2 Billion #PFI deal in Sheffield is starting to unravel in the wake of staunch public opposition to the Sheffield City Council's policy of felling thousands of healthy, mature, street trees. #saveshefftrees pls RT: https://t.co/fKPLbW826E
