Unfortunately the small number of us who complain are not enough. SWT's tree haters and mad chain saw operatives are destroying just what makes Blacka Moor a special place. And they seem to glory in it. Each day brings more evidence of their gross philistinism and incompetence. Giving these people a chain saw and a certificate saying they can use it is like giving a teenager a driving licence and a a fast sports car.
It is the trees that make Blacka Moor special. They are what bring the best of the wildlife, the red deer and the summer songbirds. There are plenty of grouse moors around that don't have these because they don't have trees. Blacka is, has been and should remain different. It is trees that have made Blacka a winter spectacular this winter transformed with hoar frost and rime . It is trees that thrill us in autumn with their colours and in spring with the fresh greenery and blossom.
It just needs one misguided individual with a chain saw or a pot of strong weedkiller to destroy all this. And the dead remains and stumps are left to remind us wherever we walk. These are people who do not love the natural world.

But is this blog the only place where complaints are made? Is nobody else prepared to put themselves out to stop this ridiculous and destructive activity?

Thanks for your comment on the Greenoak site. In answer to your question - no, they have not increased it but reduced it from 70 to 30. We are arguing for 40 and lighting and signage around the terminus itself. In that way the area outside the old limit will not be urbanised by the ghastly lighting that goes with 30mph. It might be the thin end of the wedge too - housing on brickworks site? Urban creep of development up the road to match the 30mph limit?
