Disturbing rumour re: Pruden Close development

It has been brought to my attention this evening that a rumour is doing the rounds in Mayfield avenue that the council/Acton housing association intend to knock down the mature tree on the roundabout that is in the centre of Mayfield avenue and pave over the roundabout itself to enable trucks delivering raw materials to get down to the building site in Pruden close.

If this is true its clearly completely outrageous and must be stopped at all costs as the trees - and in particular THAT tree - defines Mayfield avenue.

However it is somewhat confusing as it flies in the face of the commitments made by Mr Lomax. Equally its not entirely clear where the rumour came from. So for now the next steps must be to make some urgent enquiries which I will do immediately to find out whether this is fact or fiction.

Watch this space.
