I am disgusted that the hedgerows and trees have been cut during nesting season. There was no checking for beats and I’ve since seen nests in the ground. This is a large wide road and the trees were not on the road itself, so it was not urgent to cut. Anyone who has actually learned to drive properly can easily navigate this road without the hedges being hacked like they have during nesting season.

Thank you for contacting ourselves, the works on the A508 is for visibility safety reasons no major works to any trees are taking place so this would not interfere with any bats, our ground maintenance contractor has confirmed that all the works are being carried out by hand and before any works are undertaken visual inspections are taking place to see if any nests are present, and if any are visible then work are not undertaken on this section.
