Network
Rail – ‘We got it wrong’
Over the last few weeks, Network Rail have
removed a large number of trees beside the railway line close to Belvedere Road, Moat Farm Close and Brunswick Road - with chainsaws and
large lifting equipment. Now they admit they got their communications very
wrong. They sent a stock letter saying they were just going to be cutting
foliage back with hand tools. They
should have explained exactly why they needed to cut down so many mature trees.
After being challenged by your councillors, they
have claimed that those trees will be replaced at ecological projects somewhere
in East Anglia. That’s not good enough - we are demanding that they plant
replacement trees in Ipswich.
They have also still not fully apologised to
residents. We will carry on contacting
them on your behalf. In future they should consult with residents first before
undertaking such work.
