I’m still unable to fathom the fact they haven’t put rumble strips on the edge of every platform, causing people who suffer blindness to die unnecessarily!

Devastating news from #Derbyshire as #NetworkRail as healthy trackside trees were destroyed including established oaks and birch trees. To do this at all is environmental vandalism. To do it during nesting season beggars belief. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Net zero and trees’ carbon capture is ignored. It is essential to monitor NR to highlight their inconsistencies & true practices so they can be challenged. Because when they come to your area, it will probably be without warning, giving you no time to react or protest before the trees are gone.

NR biodiversity reports appear to be full of gaps, and it seems NR routinely dismisses the harm it causes to birds in nesting season and protected species. The devastating impact on human health of losing all the greenery and wildlife where they live is ignored.

NR talks about biodiversity and has repeatedly denied it wants to cut down all trackside trees, before embarking on plans to do just that on a massive scale. Trees that drop leaves are killed, even where they are healthy, established trees such as Oaks which are in decline and slow-growing.

There is a consistent pattern of NR acting without consulting residents and the apologising that this ‘mistake’ (which prevents oversight and resident engagement) happened. Without warning, private contractors appear and chop down everything in their path before residents have a chance to protest.

NR is now cutting down swathes of healthy trees and woodland. It is currently clearing 250km of wildlife corridor in Scotland. It is giving private companies money to chop down healthy trees across the country, no matter whether they pose an actual risk.

Government guidance (inc the Varley report) was supposed to have stopped Network Rail’s programme of mass tree felling. Charities, communities and the govt told NR not to fell millions of trees. NR agreed to stop. Now NR has reneged on this.
