Dan Cook raised concerns about Network Rail's decision to remove trees near Harringay Green Lanes Station, claiming it damaged a vital wildlife corridor. He criticized the lack of prior communication and proper assessments, noting the usual practice was to involve residents and prune rather than cut down trees. Network Rail admitted communication failures and stated the trees were removed for safety reasons, using drone technology for assessments. The company is now reaching out to residents about further work expected in the area.
The trackside margin here and elsewhere is a valued habitat for diverse flora and fauna, one that is appreciated daily by local residents.
We understand the concerns of residents about the removal of trees along the railway and accept that our communication to residents should have been better.
