One resident said it was 'environmental vandalism' and that many in the area were horrified about what had happened
Residents have been left shocked and upset after around 30 mature trees were cut down in their local park.
One East Belfast resident said that it was "environmental vandalism" and that many in the area were horrified about what had happened and hoped that work would be carried out to undo the "reckless activity". He said: "I'm shocked at the level of destruction in Orangefield Park. My understanding is that only one or two trees were to be felled and the rest pruned. Yet what has unfolded has left many local residents shocked and upset, I've asked council for a full report on this and I'd be pushing for legal action to be taken if any agreements have been broken.
“After attending the site on Tuesday, council officers expressed concerns about the extent and standard of tree pruning works being undertaken as part of this agreement.
