Timber! Ballymore trees finally felled
This morning the trees on the Ballymore site, which have been the subject of so much protest, are being felled.
Cut logs are being piled up and a woodchipper is making short work of the spindly branches.
The petition that hoped to stop the removal of the trees reached 897 signatures.
