For the chop: the battle to save Sheffield’s trees | UK news | The Guardian

For the chop: the battle to save Sheffield’s trees | UK news | The Guardian

I was in Sheffield the week before last, and I heard this story about privatization gone bad (or so people say) from friends there. The city contracted with a private company called Amey to maintain streets, and the company is chopping down thousands of street trees. There are theories as to why this is going on, some of which are quite troubling. I will be saying more about this as I learn more and develop a better understanding of what is going on.
