A group of Hucknall residents are demanding answers on why a large area of woodland has been destroyed - in what they say is an act of "sacrilege." People living on Alison Avenue and neighbouring Marion Avenue say that large machinery turned up on Tuesday (October 4) and began clearing the large area of woodland at the end of their roads.
Since starting work, several trees have been felled and the site is now littered with tree stumps and logs. The site just falls within the boundary of Gedling Borough Council, but the authority says it is privately owned land and that no rules have been broken.
It is not clear who owns the land and residents are now feeling anxious about what the eventual plans are for the site. But they are also angry about what has been done to the woodland area so far.
