I READ with interest the uproar of the felling of the trees in Legh Road.

Some weeks ago I contacted both East Cheshire Council and Peaks and Plains about the 'vandalism' of the Oak Tree on the corner of Mobberley Road and Shaw Drive, Knutsford.

This oak tree must be hundreds of years old and is probably protected but I’m unsure how to find out.

Despite my protestations, nothing has been done.

I’m concerned this beautiful tree will be damaged beyond repair.

If the tree isn’t treated, it will probably get infected and die which is a shame after surviving hundreds of years.
