Just that same day I'd spent time in Alfred Street with a friend who was intent on drawing Kirkwall's iconic 'Big Tree'. It just seems simply wrong to remove trees at Papdale when so much is being lost elsewhere to culturally unimaginative development.

The historical relevance of this area of woodland is also highly significant. It is simply unacceptable for the Papdale woods to be destroyed when this can so easily be avoided.

Perhaps the planning department should have a policy to PLANT trees (rather than destroy the few we already have) in order to cover up the ghastly rash of pebbledashed attrocities allowed to sprout up all over the bloody place! They really are an appalling & hideous eyesore (and much spoken about in the community) and it must stop for our childrens and grand childrens sake!

There are alternatives in terms of access which would not require any tree felling and which would not be too expensive to OIC, despite spending cuts. Spending cuts should NOT require tree cuts!
