Eastbourne roadside trees are slowly being cut down by the council, without any obvious arrangement to replace them with new younger trees.

Trees that are diseased, cause root damage, or present a hazard to the public, should be removed. However, as trees absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, an ongoing programme of tree replacement would benefit us all.

Here are some examples of fine established trees that have been removed.
