Unauthorised removal of trees at Gunton Cliff and Links Road

5 March 2021

The Town Council is disappointed that an area of trees on Gunton Cliff and Links Road has been cut down without any consent. The removal of trees without consent and the appropriate licences is both a criminal activity and strongly against the Town Council’s Climate Emergency declaration. If you happen to witness any other unauthorised activity within this area, you should report this to the Suffolk Police by calling the non-emergency line 101. If nearby residents feel tree maintenance is required within the area, the Town Council, as landowners, should be contacted. Please note that the timber and brushwood currently stacked on the cliff are left as habitat mounds for wildlife and to aid biodiversity and should not be removed.

If anyone has any information or knowledge of this incident, please get in contact at: admin@lowestofttowncouncil.gov.uk
