More than 2,300 people have signed a petition demanding Haringey Council does not cut down any more trees in the Parkland Walk – and asking the council to adopt a "more sensitive and nuanced" approach to tree management.
In February and March, Haringey Council trees on Parkland Walk as part of a preparation work ahead of bridge repairs slated for later this year.
The number of trees chopped down remains unclear.
Asked by campaigners why more trees had been felled than in published plans, the council's senior parks development manager wrote in an email on March 3: "The number of trees felled as part of these works is in line with the previously published information, ie c8 per bridge, which equates to 8c80 all-in, possibly a few more (as we are undertaking work at 10 bridges)."
