Not everyone's happy about this
Fears have grown due to a Blackburn golf club’s £1million remodelling project that includes felling dozens of trees.
But the felling of dozens of trees for the six-year project has alarmed local councillors and residents. Mark Bleasdale, the general manager of Pleasington Golf Club, said this was part of a Forestry Commission-approved thinning scheme to improve the health of the woodlands on the course which straddles Blackburn with Darwen and Chorley boroughs.
“Too many trees in the same space are unhealthy as they all compete for the same light and never develop a full canopy. As such the club was required to start proactively managing the woodlands. “The club has invested nearly £20,000 into a bore hole to feed its irrigation system and two large ponds which had become very overgrown and lifeless are being reborn. The course is now four and half years into its six-year redevelopment with three holes being restored each year and the course is once again being recognised as one of the finest in the North West.
