Dear friends of Blakes Walk, concerned residents and tree lovers,

The campaign and petition has been making the news in recent days, with coverage on TV, on the radio and in newspapers.

Some examples here:

https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politics/council/council-agrees-to-postpone-the-felling-of-these-poplar-trees-in-lewes-4437717

https://www.moreradio.online/news/sussex-news/council-cancels-felling-of-lewes-trees-following-campaigners-report/

It all helps to strengthen the campaign and to keep the pressure on ESCC to abandon any plans to remove any trees.

Likewise the petition, so please keep sharing and re-sharing the link. Are there any local or national groups or societies you could send it to whose members are likely to support the cause?

Also make your feelings known by contacting your Town, District and/or County councillors, as well as the South Downs National Park Authority and your MP.

Many thanks to all who have signed, all who have spent money to promote the petition and to everyone who has been spreading the message far and wide.
