Six sick and dying trees are due to be cut down in Winckley Square as part of ongoing restoration work.
AdvertisementThe proposals by the Winckley Square Community Interest Company outline how four whitebeam trees, one Norway maple and one ash tree will be felled.
Two other trees – a willow and a horse chestnut – will have branches removed.
