Sheffield City Council has halted plans to remove eight redwood trees after 83 per cent of residents objected to the proposal during a public consultation. The trees, which were slated for removal due to pavement damage, provide essential shade in a city centre area with limited cover. The council will now review the feedback with the Street Tree Partnership to determine a long-term solution.
