Chapel en le Frith, is a picturesque village located in the heart of the Peak District in Derbyshire.

However, one of its treasured trees in the Market Place is at risk of being cut down to make way for public toilets, that have been unused and out of order for years.

The tree merits formal protection to ensure that it is preserved for future generations. We are therefore demanding that High Peak Borough Council grants it a  Tree Preservation Order.

This tree is an important and highly valued feature of the town centre and makes a significant contribution to the character and identity of Chapel-en-le-Frith.

As a prominent landmark within Market Place, it enhances the appearance of the area and provides an attractive focal point for residents and visitors alike.

The tree also has considerable landscape value. Its presence softens the built environment, contributes to the historic setting of the town, and helps maintain the distinctive character that makes Chapel-en-le-Frith unique. Mature trees such as this are increasingly important for biodiversity, environmental quality, and the overall wellbeing of the community.

Please, sign this petition to demand immediate action to save our tree.
