We have had an email from Peterborough City council due to the two petitions and the amount of media coverage this has received the council have stated that it will now be discussed at the next meeting of full council in early December . So for the short term the tree is safe!  Thanks to everyone who has signed!  If you would like to see the media coverage do a google search "Save Ancient Oak tree Peterborough"  The latest Peterborough Telegraph report has links to the petition and to The Trees of Peterborough facebook page where you can see what we are up against. there are pictures of Blind lane 12 years ago and now the devastation is shocking! It also has pictures of the butchery to the ancient hedgerow .
