Save Western Road First World War Memorial trees from destruction.

The Issue

The trees on Western Road in Sheffield were planted to honour pupils of Westways School who gave their lives in the Great War.

Sheffield City Council plan to honour their memory in the Centenary of the Great War by destroying this Memorial and felling the trees.

Independent arboricultural advice from leaders in the industry has confirmed that these trees have many years of useful life left  if properly maintained.

The outcry within Sheffield and beyond is growing and we need your help to raise a minimum of 5000 signatures to force a debate in full council.
