Shame on @LewishamCouncil wanting to fell this mature plane tree because it would cost more to keep it. Just to put a crane in place for one weekend. Have they put the eco-system services and amenity value of the tree into their calculations?
@LewishamCouncil just informed us they are imminently cutting down our historic London Plane tree, to allow access for a replacement bridge span. All about the 💷 Please share and contact council. #Sydenham #SydenhamPark @SydenhamSociety @Sydenham #saveourtree #environment 🌳
Thanks to everyone who’s shown their support for #savethesydenhamplane
Our petition has passed 800 in less than 24 hours!😍 If you haven’t signed yet, it’s not too late to stop this beautiful tree from being felled:

This healthy, mature plane tree is to be felled so that @LewishamCouncil can carry out footbridge repairs, a decision based on cost alone. But what price such a prominent and much-loved tree?

📚 We arrived into class to a mysterious den in our reading corner. Who could own the den? Why can we see lots of paper aeroplanes?
Class 1 thought about questions we could ask the owners of the den. 📚 @PleasantStPrim @LiteracyCounts1 @pleasantstreads @JimHelmore
