A3 Tree Chopping

12 Protesters were arrested trying to stop the destruction of 330 trees planted as a memorial to Canadian servicemen killed in the two World Wars. On 5th April local MP Michael Mates gave his assurance that this desecration would be postponed until after VE day, but the remaining trees were all cut down that night. 3 of the protesters were arrested for assault but only one was charged, and will appear in court on the 4th May along with the 9 others arrested for Aggravated Trespass.
