This is a civil matter between the residents and the council, this officer is only there to stop a breach of the peace. He hasn't any right to stand there talking about solicitors and amey. Another corporate tyrant that no longer hold their oath to serve and protect the public.

Wikipedia on Amey Plc, say that in March 2018, that put a pause on the plan to remove the trees, is that true? I notice from an article in the Midlands newspaper, that they call 5G "Mobility Technology'.

What a joke find something better to do than fall over and blame someone else pathetic amey should have girdled the trees by hand then protest is worthless as its dead anyway

Thanks for sharing...

The arrests of Sheffield tree protesters under this law between Nov 2016 and Feb 2017 have since been found wrongful by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Advice and the view of a solicitor is NOT law.

So suggest continuing to document structural condition of every felled trees inner heartwood condition. Along with determining trees species and final ages, by counting up stump rings. This might help reinforce your organizations position when counsel reconsiders standards for age profiling. Also suggest asking for scientists guidance in explaining how certain native species, once reaching fully mature stages. Can literally be defined as a whole ecosystem alone. Such as ancient locally evolved Elm & Oak, considered by ecologists to be UK ecosystems namesake species.

*Please STAG, suggest reviewing following details if willing to prevent such future recurrences caused by replacement trees 100 years from now!!* _Above all else, understand how Amey is an Engineering firm. And how professional Arborist are required to be completely unattached, by having no personal interest in trees cultural or ecological value. In order to prevent conflict of interest between public safety and love of trees._ *_I am fully aware of all this, as a city Tree historian & certified Arborist whose responsibility is communication between public, professionals and elected officials._* And because I also agree safety is highest priority, my efforts involve early prevention from potential disease, construction damage, and threat by future developers. Out of any Engineering disciplines, worst fails continue to be produced by construction engineers. Which lack experience responsibly following Arboricultural Engineer specifications! Just like already damaged drainage pipes actually invite roots, engineered grade compaction forces roots to grow between ground surface and street/walk surface. Thus scientifically producing hydraulic lifting of walk. In fact, prehistoric rock quarry engineers utilized expanding root growth to separate huge slabs along natural cracks. Now here in Chicago, we invented parkway green spaces between sidewalks and curbs. And because of setting out new grid system before neighborhoods were built. Longer lots allowed homes to be built farther back from street. Otherwise before that time, trees had to be planted well back from curbless or shallow curbed streets. And closer to black cinder sidewalks. Since engineering change over 135 years ago, deeper poured curbs have successfully shunted tree root growth from street encoursens. Best suggestion for Sheffield, would be encouraging installation of public trees within front yards, on other side of walks. Cooperation would allow town to maintain street trees installed within private front yards. Staggering tree plantings along block results in more room for tree crowns to expand. Rather than all planted closely alongside each other. Which might not be possible along your towns streets. Where residents use front yard space to park their cars off street. And because of more even grade from street to car park, old style granite slab curb system is too shallow to prevent roots from growing into street. In fact, I was surprised to see hardly any street lifting caused by roots. Regarding ADA requirements for disabled and impaired folk using sidewalks. Installing new sidewalk over tree roots works great, and grinding back roots to reinstall sidewalk back to grade is worst option. And resulting in bad public image when roots inevitably do damage when growing back. See, scientifically. Thats whats supposed to happen when roots face conditions. Thus, construction representatives like Amy who never took time to research nor invent solutions. Blame trees!! What disturbs me, is how no one has released official paperwork after so called experts diagnosed conditions as too costly to correct. Since here in USA, we have freedom of information act. And some communities even require several independent professionals diagnosis filling out forms detailing their diagnosis. Imagine a modern Engineer satisfied with +5'-5' from specified center. Would light pole or Fire hydrant installation still be acceptable practice if 10 inches too deep? Yet today most towns contract out tree plantings to construction engineering firms. Assuming their crews are professional excavators who can dig best hole for tree. While empirical documented figures reveal fact, that road, utility and building contractors continue to be #1 cause of public tree damage. Thus they are the most guilty of needlessly causing future public safety issues, and causing future valid reasons for required public tree removal. Which specifically requires strict adherence to things like tree installation measurements. Or pre-planned clearance specifications detailing (TPZ) Tree Protection zones. So obviously this harsh lesson will allow many other communities to prepare. First, by keeping up with local board activities. As biggest primary cause of Sheffield's present problems, had been passage of contract agreement for road project back in 2012. And second, lesson to install new public trees using proven methods that would prevent roots from such hardscape incursions in future. So I can only ask, why has it been OK to replant new trees in same spots. Waiting until new street work upgrades completed would be prudent. Also, expect continued settling where huge dead underground roots decompose. Another question, is same Amey contractor installing new trees? If so, suggest your group could use a few seasoned urban forest experts to guide volunteers on what type of pruning & watering stewardship immediately required. Just don't refill trickle bags, water along rootball perimeter to encourage outbound root growth. Luck to you all!!

Are the police supposed to work for amey or the public same with fracking the po-lice are not acting in the public interest.

Double speaking bollox merchant no proof means no contract not we will take your word for anything you say the issue is prove what you say Mr Council man prove you work for the people of Sheffield OR RESIGN trees are vital to maintaining the environment and the survival of us all we don,t need 5G, Amey or council bollox.

They are felling all of them because of a global agenda.. people need to stand up

Who the hell do UK police think they are? PATHETIC!

The Force Solicitor's advice is not binding on anyone, it is merely advice to the police and in no way can be construed as law, as it has no authority in law. Not the police makes a request as he has no authority in law.

Is this about 5G?

Utter nonsense.... What the fuck is this...there are plenty of technology to protect padestarrian path from trees roots.....

I was reliably informed that Amey plc had won an SYP contract, as a result Amey plc are now the only contractor taking full responsibility for the polishing of all 'SYP's' turds, in particular the ones collected by South Yorkshire Police over the years, the 'trophy' turds, which will just require a little maintenance in the form of a tickle with the 'French Polish'. Because you know, 'FP' is the dogz bollocks when shit need to be super shiny as fuck, and rest assured, never in a lifetime will there be any shit, shinier than the shit, lovingly polished by team Amey plc on behalf of SYP.

I am a Tree Officer for a local authority, what the f#!k, signed a contract to sort the roads which has resulted in tree loss, which could be avoided and now they carn't back out. I was of the initial understanding that trees were being removed because of condition, the more I look into this it appears to be an error of judgement from Councillors and upper management who know naff all about trees. Can believe it as landscaping elements and there maintenance are first to be cut and not considered. All this conspiracy bullsh#$ regarding 5G needs to stop to. Trust me I am in the industry, what a load of bollocks, if 5G does not pass through wet leaves it would offer no improvement and would require more than these trees to be felled, most if not all trees would have to be removed if the effects to so called 5G were true. I could go on forever on the subject of trees governed by local authorities and politics, there is a general need for investment in correct tree management in urban areas, which unfortunatley has been lacking, especially of late. There are massive problems to future tree cover preservation and saftey to the public, management needs to be left to those with an impartial view and who care deeply for the trees in an area they and there team have managed for decades. Sadly employing private companies leads to crap shown in the video, and the local tree officer is a dying breed not easily replaced.

He can't even find a highway engineering group willing to condone it that isn't called Amey

Arresting loads of law abiding people to pursue an despotic Labour Council policy who want to ride roughshod over residents.

Sounds more like an excuse to facilitate the rollout of 5G. Seeing as 5G is a Class 2 carcinogen, what is this guy on? 5G is blocked by trees and leaves. Seeing the bigger picture?

Gore needs to go. The trees should stay. There’s nothing wrong with them. So sad 😞

Bloody hell what idiots. In America they protest for gun control. These fucking idiots protesting for trees. Get a life. With will the oxygen you're wasting by shouting you should fucking apologise to the trees.

this is all for 5G internet

He doesnt even listen what he is told, total wanker.

Really sad to see something like this happen. I hope that in the end, people who cut down these trees will get what they deserve. So much pollice for few people with drums its pathetic.

This is terrible,, leave them trees alone :( I was reading about the new 5G phone network that don't like trees in the way.

the council's say "no more money on trees" then sack the council!!!!!

oh by the way they are contracted to cut down 17000 of the 36000 trees in Sheffield and only contracted to replace them at 200 saplings a year

they are trying to get rid of the trees because of 5G,......see Ian R Crane video 20/3/2018 Called "all I need is the air that I breathe"

5G is blocked by trees - using Sheffield to set the tree felling agenda across UK

Dear tree protesters,, i think it’s wrong to try to force trees to live in cities, you want them to thrive outside of their natural habitat for your pleasure?, for your inability to accept you left the garden of eden alone, you want trees to eat from the tree of knowledge too? You want to drag trees down with you?? What’s wrong with you?? If you had any respect for trees you wouldn’t force them to live for you as slaves. I’m glad they’re being cut down from cities. They shouldn’t have to live as a decoration for you. Cities are becoming like botanical zoos. If you want to see trees, see them and support them in their natural habitat.

I don't want them to cut trees down, but this is an embarrassment. He wasn't assaulted at all. This video is harming your cause, I'd remove it.

:'(

He's talking but he isn't listening.

The Council handing out letters to old ladies on Abbeydale Park Rise telling them they will be restrained for unlawful behaviour. Paul says "That was a mistake" but I thought the CONTRACT had no room for mistakes?!?!

It's a bit of a false economy if we take into account the hard cash proven benefits the council gets from mature trees. Not to speak of how much they increase real-estate prices in the area. Could private funding save these trees? It could be a temporary solution until new elections cause a change in the council.

"We regard it as necessary". They ALWAYS ignore tree experts.

Paul Billington, Brian Lodge and Amey are lying shitheads. The contract is a fiddle. The SCC should not be allowed to make contracts that the Sheffield public are not allowed to see. Amey are Spanish mercinary criminals.

Sorry Paul Billington you are an utter knob... You are a disgrace to Sheffield

Amey need to get their equipment seen to... just saying

Another idiot with nothing better to do. Let the lads do there job

Why would they make it up, GOOD QUESTION ?

Well you and I must be watching a different video hear for its clear to see the guy tripped over the branch.

Blatant assault. Scumbags.

This is the sort of utter bullshit we put up with constantly from govt officials. Obviously, it costs more to take down the tree with a crew and machinery than to leave it alone. Also home values are diminished on a treeless street.

They want to destroy 5 or 6 thousand. Dear God. mindless councillors

These councillors all need sacked. they are hell bent on destoying so many trees in this city. Shameful

What a complete load of cobblers. As pointed out, they have not applied ANY engineering solutions anywhere. So how does he expect us to believe that those solution HAD been considered for this or any other tree when the evidence suggests they are never used? The business of never spending so much time on a small number of people before, or that majority of people "do not care" completely misses the point of course. Its not about the number of people objecting, its about the number of people the action will impact over the long-term, regardless of if those people realise it today or not.

Ageing trees need replacing? Total utter bullshit.
