AN injunction preventing the removal of Armada Way's remaining trees has been upheld by a High Court judge. It means Plymouth City Council can't cut down the remaining 19 trees under threat in the city centre, but it can remove the ones it has already felled.
The judge said: "The injunction will continue, the remaining trees cannot be felled at least for the time being" His decision was met by applause by protesters in the courtroom.
The action group Straw (Save the Trees of Armada Way) tweeted: "So finally a bit of sanity after the insanity of chopping down the trees. The high court injunction has been upheld to stop the felling of our last mature city centre forest trees."
