A Tree Protection Order has been urgently requested, councillors and tree officers are involved but watch this space, the Friends of St Matthew's Piece are literally doing so.

The trees at #stmatthewspiece make the area special. Help save them by objecting to the application to fell 3 London Plane trees at bit.ly/3YSIoIk. Here's what we said bit.ly/3dVyUXj Friends of St Matthew's Piece Cambridge Past, Present & Future Katie Thornburrow Michael Davey

Mill-Road.com Cambridge City Council Katie Thornburrow Michael Davey Friends of St Matthew's Piece PACT Cambridge Re “latest Rpt to Cambridge City Council Planning Cttee (Presenting Officer Joanna Davies) appears to weight arguments in favour of removal of these three 100+year-old trees”. Closing argument of QueensColl barrister re felling trees impacting Nature Reserve “It was tree officer’s choice”.



Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Advisor to UK Government, sums up why Greater Cambridge Partnership busway via Coton Orchard is flawed. "There are alternative ways... expressways either side provide that opportunity...[rather than] yet another roadway through the middle of a green area".
