There’s been a recent survey about the reduction in orchards and it’s detrimental effect - I don’t think this is helping!

A ridiculous thing to be doing; rather than manage them and see them as a valuable resource for nature and people.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Next you'll be removing rocks from beaches as these are also a trip hazard. It's called nature and both us and the ecosystem needs it. Maybe people should just watch where they're going? Why deprive the wildlife and a community of such a wonderful resource?

Ridiculous. Beautiful trees should be left for all to enjoy. I think people are capable of walking round fallen apples!!!

The park in Westwood is a wonderful place for everyone to enjoy and the trees that make up that special place should remain

With our planet facing a climate and environmental disaster it seems inconceivable to be chopping down any trees. They are a vital resource which should be protected.

Vandalism on trees should not be allowed.

The felling of these trees would be a very sad thing to do. I have often walked along this path and thought how wonderful they are for wildlife. Surely just a pruning back would be an option.

I do not live in the village but have relatives there and was made aware of the plight of the trees in the Telegraph. The park in Spring is a wonderful sight and the thought of cutting down trees anywhere is appalling. As quoted already, personal responsibility is needed and we should try to work with nature rather than against it. A good pruning may be in order.

Cutting down healthy apple trees - sheer stupidity.

What reason can you have for cutting these trees down?

Please do not cut these trees down. There is no sane reason to.

Ridiculous. We are all responsible for taking care.
