Neighbours in the vicinity of Carrer Francesc Vidal i Sureda (La Bonanova) were up in arms last Tuesday afternoon after noticing that around twenty trees had been felled in this street, which links the busy Joan Miró street with the Valparaíso hotel. On their way over the Mal Pas bridge, the Ajuntament de Palma workers have been using the chainsaws for two days.
Residents outraged in Palma as dozens of trees axed
They were more than fifty years old and have always been there

Stan The ManWould you prefer the entire hillside to give out and kill a bunch of people. They aren't cutting them to stock up on wood for the winter. They had to go, and they are gone. Sell your car yet?
Trees absorb Catbon Dioxide. Thereby helping to Oxygenate the air we breathe. Who ever is responsible for authorising their removal. Should be dismissed in disgrace. Never to work again .
I was made to understand that all trees, Flora and Fona. Were to be protected on Mallorca Island.. There are trees next to my building that are leaning and starting to uproot. But they are left alone. So what is happening when some parts are felled and removed ?
