In fact<BR/>## 350mm or higher embankments to carry the lorries over tree roots<BR/>## trimming lower branches of 43 trees<BR/>## huge widths of the meadow taken for cornering<BR/>## layby for long lorries to wait while passing<BR/>## entirely new lorry "path" into the rear of the Nursery and back across meadowland between the magnificant spreading oaks (lower branches trimmed).<BR/><BR/>And of course pedestrians, wheelchairs etc. won't feel safe on a 4-metre wide road, being passed by a large 2.5m wide artic lorry, but probably scatter down the embankment. Then there's the visual intrusion of large lorries in the meadowland.<BR/><BR/>We don't want the plant nursery closed - it's the plant import-export business (artic lorries from Holland) that needs evicting.<BR/><BR/>Max WallisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
