Further felling of trees in Plymouth city centre prevented after extension of injunction approved
Trees were felled at night after an executive order was signed by council leader Richard Bingley
Last week, 110 trees were cleared from Armada Way as part of a redevelopment programme, despite objections.At the High Court in London on Friday, Sir Ross Cranston backed the protesters' bid to keep the injunction in place pending a full legal challenge over the council's actions. Plymouth City Council argued the felling had to be done before the pre-election period, noting it was not a legal requirement, but a preferable one.
The council said that it acknowledged people's concerns, but said others were "very clear they want this change".
