The campaign to save three magnificent copper beech trees next to Kenwood House has been victorious - as English Heritage announced today it has reversed plans to chop them down.

  

The decision to save the copper beeches comes after a growing public outcry about the proposal to fell the 60-year-old trees as part of English Heritage’s plans to restore “one of London’s great views”.

  

English Heritage had wanted to fell 26 trees in all, including the three large copper beeches beneath the 18th century Kenwood dairy cottage, to the west of the main house.

  

It said the landscaping project would restore a stunning “lost vista” that was present some 150 years ago.

  

But opponents argued the view was not special enough to sacrifice the copper beeches and today English Heritage confirmed it had listened to the public and reversed the plans.

  

“We wanted to hear local people’s opinions on our proposal to restore these historic views,” said Paul Jackson, head gardener at Kenwood for more than 10 years.

  

“And it became very clear that although there was support for the project, there was considerable anxiety about removing the copper beeches.

  

“We’ve listened and we’ve responded to those concerns.”

  

English Heritage worked closely with the Kenwood Landscape Forum and other community groups before finalising the proposals.

  

The project will still see the re-establishment of the historic sightline between the dairy and the house and between the dairy and the ponds, creating a stronger link for visitors between the two buildings and the wider Kenwood estate.

  

The holly hedge will also be restored opening up a larger area of grassland for people to enjoy.

  

Following final surveys, the self-seeded scrub – mostly birch, alder and oak – on the margin of the West Meadow and 23 other trees will be removed.

  

English Heritage says historic photographs and maps show that the West Meadow was clear of trees until the 1950s.

  

Today, the Kenwood estate is home to approximately 5,600 trees and over the past five years Kenwood gardeners and volunteers have planted roughly 1,700 trees and are planting 50 more this winter.

For many years humans have dumped all sort of rubbish into the sea, so much that large areas of our seas are polluted. Oil spilled from ships and oil rigs, poisons let run into the sea from some factories kills fish, birds and ruins beaches. Many creatures are killed every year by pollution. We all can help to save our seas by stop dumping rubbish into it.

Going down the wrong way of the traffic to save time is an obvious choice. It's illegal here too! It rarely result with accident and Police just let them get on with it!

In July 1966, Save Mart opened a new 20,000-square-foot supermarket at 130 W Stockton St. This store was a replacement for an older store located just adjacent to the new store. The grand opening newspaper article noted: "The new Save Mart store on Stockton St. has joined the swelling list of buildings which reflect the heritage of Sonora. The slump stone and large timbers which front the building enclose a modern, attractive and well-equipped supermarket that offers a wide variety of products". The old store building became a drugstore after Save Mart moved out, and is now subdivided amongst multiple retailers. The current store received an interior remodel in the late 1980s, and none since then. Sometime during the 2000s or 2010s, however, the front facade was slightly redone.

This wing was constructed at the same time as the new Save Mart.

Producers at The Bill have decided to axe Graham Cole's character, PC Tony Stamp. This is a disgrace! Graham has been in the show for the past 22 years and deserves better treatment!

Paul was blowing leaf piles from the front steps and under the leaves were lots of earthworms. Eleanor thought it was too warm for them to be on the sidewalk without their leaf cover so she let them crawl onto a tiny stick and put them each in the grass. That's my girl.

In 2011-2012 chain of protests took place in Tbilisi for saving historical part in Old Tbilisi. Concerned people regularly gathered in the Square, with singers, artists, actors performing for keeping and saving the heritage.

My poster for the lovable yet slightly grotesque and smelly Boggins, The Adam and Joe dog. He is apparently to some an annoying nuisance yet I find him lovable and comical despite his ill health and stench. Dont let Boggins be put down!

 

(NB: Boggins is a fictional dog from the fantastic Adam and Joe BBC6 Music show, no real animals will be harmed!)

April 27, Philadelphia

No arena in Chinatown chants, speeches by concerned residents, even a fashion show preceded the delivery of 15 thousand postcards to city council members today.

On April 29, thousands of people are expected to gather at 10th & Vine to march in protest to the proposed site of the much-criticized 76ers Arena and then to City Hall.

An estimated 5,000 people joined the march to save the Whittington hospital on Saturday 16 March 2013. The campaign which called the demonstration sprung into action when plans were announced to slash the workforce, reduce beds and sell off valued nurses' accommodation.
