Aylesbury residents left confused by mystery tree felling

Six perfectly healthy trees on Elm Farm Road were cut down yesterday with the remains left on the pavement.

It's said to have happened at around 6pm last night, with witnesses saying they saw someone with a chainsaw cutting the trees down.

Local resident Linzi Reilly was horrified when she came home last night to see the destruction. She spoke earlier to Bucks Radio.

Bucks Council came and cleared the trees from the pavement, but have said they know nothing about it, and neither do Aylesbury Town Council.

The mystery is still ongoing... we will have the latest when we know it.

Bucks Council have made the following statement:

Peter Strachan, Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said: 

"We have looked into this, but we've been unable to find the reason the trees were felled in this way, which is understandably upsetting to residents and ourselves alike. We weren't aware of any intention to fell these trees and we are really disappointed that this has happened. These trees were not subject to a Tree Preservation Order so unfortunately there is little we can do in terms of follow up or potential prosecution as this happened on land we do not own."
