As is typical of a group that puts office work and their image as a higher priority than getting out into the fresh air and understanding the 'nature reserves' that are their own responsibility, SRWT has now produced a lengthy and convoluted official statement about their position regarding the controversy surrounding Sheffield's street trees.
Like many grand corporations whose business approach they admire, it's getting the publicity right that matters whatever sort of mess they're making of the real work they do.
What should we make of this, for instance:
We would also recommend that the Council and Amey consider giving people a longer notice period of tree removal when working outside of the normal ‘zonal works’. Two weeks is a very short time for people to understand what is being proposed and find out more information. For zonal works Amey/the Council provide roadshows well in advance where people can ask questions directly to staff involved.
This tree was felled by SRWT less than a fortnight ago - with no notice at all.
But we're used to double standards by now.
