Three mature Poplar trees on Beacon Park’s golf course located near to Morrisons and Greenhough Road were felled this week because they had started shedding boughs and branches and posed a real threat to park users. We’ll replant new trees in the autumn when the conditions are right for planting. The removal of the trees is not connected to the Padel tennis court (view planning application and associated documents), which are set to be built nearby and do not require the removal of any trees. We’re always really disappointed to remove mature trees, but the safety of our park users has to come first. Find out more.
