Residents 'will work in shifts' as they protest against tree removal in South Belfast

South Belfast residents have pledged to "work in shifts" as they protest against the removal of trees for a flood alleviation scheme.

The Department for Infrastructure has removed a number of trees along the River Lagan as part of work on the Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme and has said that more are likely to be chopped down.

Local residents have formed the Save Our Lagan campaign group and have spoken out against the removal of the trees and are calling on the Department to work with them to find solutions to ensure the scheme can go ahead without impacting the trees along the river.
