How long should we fight for our right to have in our neighborhoods these precious trees?
It's is a battle that has been going on for weeks between developers and naturalists until Extinction Rebellion activists took action and climbed into the tree. Now the situation upscaled and even Dame Judi Dench stepped in and tried to protect this 100 years old tree.
It all started with new development plans in Battersea, south London. Despite the fact that secular trees are protected by local regulations, they seem not to be when regeneration of the city is planned out. Luckily, local residents rise their voices when they saw what was about to happen, they actively involved local charities and activists. All of them worked very hard in order to stop this outrageous act.
Now it seems that developers have agreed about divert the cable that raised this problem.
