The speakers, covered by
the press included MP Gerald Kaufman and
Marc Hudson. Hudson, co-editor of the Manchester Climate Monthly website and
paper urged the campaign to keep focus.
Several supporters
talked about their activities in the week. Carl, a local wood and stone
sculptor talked about his conversation with Westfield, the contractors felling the trees.
Apparently the timber and chipping were already sold before the felling began.
Perhaps this is another
reason the Council is not prepared to speak to
campaigners. Its not a good reason. In the meantime the campaign’s online petition has
reached over 3800.
Check out the campaign’s website for latest news.
