BULLSHIT!!! I heard from a 100% reliable source that a lady walked over to the fence from Morrison's (staff?) and pointed out that there was a notice on the fence informing them of the petition. She was answered with a 2-fingered salute by one of the tossers cutting the trees down. Bloody disgraceful!

It says 4 Palace Road on the bank's website, which is the address of Big Mama's I believe, and the Chinese next door is 5-6 Palace Road. Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of things though!

I think you're right moe. That would make sense about it ending up as a takeaway.

I think there has been a bit of confusion on the Martins Bank website. If you look at the page for Bedlington STATION Martins Bank then that too says 'Takeaway' at the bottom. http://www.martinsbank.co.uk/11-50-00%20Bedlington%20Station.htm

On a lighter note, and not to be disrespectful but simply to lighten the mood .....

I might add that such a renaming would also be a small win, a mark of respect of all the people who campaigned for the saving of the willow tree.

Ok then. This issue over the removal of a much-loved tree has obviously stirred some deep feelings in Bedlington folk. The fact that it is going to be removed regardless of any campaign to save it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth, but how about this for a practical way to remember that tree for another 100years? ............. Why not rename Schalksmuhle Road (a poor choice in the first place, in my opinion) into something entirely fitting, like Willow Tree Drive, or Weeping Willow Way, or something along those lines, in remembrance of the beautiful tree that stood here for all of our lives, and not some remote German town that 90% of folk in Bedlington have no clue of (unless you happen to be called Binks, of course)?

Here's a suggestion... Maybe they could bury the County Councillors in the hole before they lay the car park.

Streaming anything uses up huge chunks of data, it's just the way it is. Doesn't your mobile provider inform you when you are nearing your limit? i get a text from EE when I've reached 80%.

That's true Malcolm, but the same mistakes are being made again,...... and again,..... and again! This idea of war after war to keep the population in constant fear, and therefore willing to support laws resulting in loss of freedoms, cannot be what our forefathers fought for. War in any shape or form should not be celebrated.

Sadly, Brian, many people DO forget, and I'll own up to being one of them. I never knew it was Anzac day today, along with millions of others in the UK I'm sure. However, is forgetting such a bad thing? Personally, I think we need to look to the future and not dwell in the past. The past can't be changed. Those last two lines of the verse Malcolm quoted above just highlight the futility of it all. Nothing has changed.

So much for the sham 'special relationship' eh? Just listening to warnings given by Gove regarding the potential addition of five other nations, including Turkey, to the EU, and the effect it would have on our NHS and other services, should give anyone pause for thought about remaining in the EU.

I see the proposed Lidl site has now been fenced off ready for action. I pass this place many times a day in my job and now all those trees look as if they are on death row.

European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker has admitted that one of the reasons why Euroskepticism is currently on the rise is because “we were wrong in overregulating and interfering too much in the daily lives of our fellow citizens.” I rest my case m'Lud!

I'm with you Brian. I think Brexit will be the tip of the iceberg. EU trade with the UK keeps millions of EU workers in jobs, so I can't see this ending overnight if Britain leaves the EU.

The nearest cash point to me is under the mattress!

'Stupid' is a bit of an understatement don't you think?

Personally, I'd rather keep the trees. If they're going ahead with this they'll need another bloody roundabout. It's going to be chaos.

Hmm ... Works ok for me.

All clever talk, I'm sure, but please take some time out to learn how to use the forum quote system correctly. Replies should be outside of the quoted text. Just saying.

Who's round? Can't help you there I'm afraid. I had the grave misfortune to be born with uncommonly short arms and incredibly deep pockets.

I know it can be a bit irritating at times, but if every topic stuck rigidly to its title then people would skip whole topics that they thought wouldn't interest them. Many times I've read a topic that didn't particularly interest me at the time, but thought there may be other content in there that I didn't want to miss (I'm the nosy type!), only to find myself actually engrossed in the topic itself. So, how is the barbie season going then? ...
