This comment is not aimed at anyone in particular but i'm sick to death of the apathy around here and then all the whinging that goes on after the event..
If 5,000 people had shown up then just maybe, just maybe the Council would have been jolted into attention.

I was a visitor to Stratford at the time, signed the petition.
Now I have moved closer to Stratford, and take a keen interest in proposed projects for the town by SDC.
Isn't there a website for Stratford Voice ?
I have recently been informed by SDC that the decision to remove these trees had not been lightly made, and that considerable public consultation was engaged in over the last 18 months and details of the reasons why the trees have needed to be removed. 20,000 copies of leaflets have been made available briefing the public on . 'What's happening in the Bancroft Gardens.
I would be interested in the feedback the SDC had from the peopleof Stratford.
I have also been informed that the Council will shortly be replacing more trees than those removed. Most of the new trees will be semi-mature, i.e approximately 15 years old.
