It is such an exciting and great privilege just to take a part in the story. I too cannot wait to see how it is going to unfold from here.

However, once we were able to demonstrate the strength of feeling about the tree, the council agreed that the wood would be used in a way that would commemorate the tree and in consultation with local residents. The taking of cuttings is also being considered. Local residents have also been invited to keep a piece of the tree if they wish to do so. Regarding re-planting, as we fear an ash wouldn't succeed at the site, a mature oak is to be planted there and four or five other trees nearby to mark the special nature of the tree that has been lost. There are also ideas brewing to place an information board at the spot to commemorate this great tree. We would never stand for the planting of non-indigenous species here (there are four Greens on the parish council who'd have none of that!).Councillor Julie Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988998789577810742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931996672384583120.post-85604163605553119492017-10-09T21:15:59.896+01:002017-10-09T21:15:59.896+01:00Did the council consider taking a cutting, or graf...Did the council consider taking a cutting, or grafting the tree so it could be perpetuated in some way?<br /><br />No. Thought not.

All drivers seem to think the problem is not them, yet accidents and pet deaths continue to happen on our residential streets. The idea is not to enforce 20mph, but to encourage drivers to thing and to realise that 20-30 is the best speed in residential areas. As you say, driving faster rarely pays a dividend.

As much as anything I want the hospice staff and residents to know that they are valued and that this act of thoughtless stupidity is exactly that and not a reflection of how the whole of Peterborough feels.

Then I read to the end of your post and I now have a big hug for you. But now I am angry: why would Peterborough City Council charge this particular organisation for cleaning this up anyway? I hope they have it in them to clear it up and waive this particular charge.
