Work has been suspended on the felling of 26 trees in Elisabeth Park in Koekelberg after a petition signed by more than 700 local residents was received by the municipal authorities.
The reduction of trees on Avenue du Panthéon in Koekelberg is part of a redevelopment which will see the Stib tram stop at Besme, which services tram line 19, expanded.
But after citizens mobilised against the plan and objections were raised, the mayor of Koekelberg Ahmed Laaouej held talks with the regional mobility minister Elke Van den Brandt and a decision was made to suspend the felling until after further discussions with the Stib.
