THE Green leader of Bristol City Council has defended contractors chopping down dozens of trees on the Harbourside.

Earlier this week workmen began felling trees at the Baltic Wharf Caravan Club, next to the Cottage pub, to make way for new apartments.

Goram Homes, the council-owned developer, is planning to build 166 homes on the former caravan club, which closed down this summer. The development has long been controversial, with environmental campaigners criticising the loss of so many trees. A few women even 'married' some of the trees.
