Concern re tree cutting at the Lawns

I have had two calls re the tree cutting at The Lawns last week. I am assured it was safety work as a result of a tree survey which the Stroud Community Land Trust commissioned (and the Parish Council are paying for) to ensure that the SCLT can finally take the land over in a safe condition.

However later in the year there will be considerable tree-cutting around the Lake as part of British Waterways work to desilt the lake and bring it back to life. Sadly this is necessary if we want to restore this lake and reduce silting.
