The cutting down of walnut trees, which led to widespread condemnation in a Suffolk town, was the result of a misunderstanding.
Mid Suffolk District Council (MSDC) has confirmed that walnut trees planted by the late headmaster of Stowmarket Middle School, Mike Arbon, on Walnut Tree Walk in the town should not have been cut down.
Three trees were cut down with another two cut back as a result of a misunderstanding between Suffolk County Council (SCC) and MSDC.
Highways teams from SCC were called to the road last October to look at an overgrown buddleia which it recommended be cut.
