| When this was originally posted I didn't bother pointing out the untruths Clarkson was spouting in the hope that the thread would die. Most of the trees that are going are not the mature trees on Holland Park Avenue, but are mainly young fir trees on the central reservation at Notting Hill Gate. I think there are two plane trees that are planned to go at a junction. Holland Park Ave wouldn't lose its appearance. People should check their facts before taking everything he says at face value. What he was saying about the cycle lane in Hyde Park was ridiculous as well. I used to use the one that runs parallel to get to work. It was a total nightmare. Far too narrow, and pedestrians in it all the time. That was 7 years ago. With increase in cycling in London now, and projected for the future, it just didn't have enough capacity. Again, don't take everything he (or anyone else) says at face value. |
