Sunday 14 Feb 10:30am – find out about the threatened trees in Nether Edge
If you live in Nether Edge you will probably know that many of our beautiful mature trees are threatened with felling under the City Council’s ‘Streets Ahead’ scheme to renew the highways. 72 healthy mature trees have been condemned, most because of superficial damage to footways which could be dealt with by more imaginative approaches. A lot of local people are angry about this and there is a big campaign to protect our trees.
If you would like to find out more why not join the Bikebus ride on Sunday 14 February 2016. It will take around 2 hours and of course there will be a cafe stop at each end.
Starting 10:30 am at Cafe #9 in Nether Edge Village (On Nether Edge Rd). The route is planned to avoid traffic, and the hills are neither long or steep.
