County councillor Deborah Glass-Woodin is arrested at the protest on January 9
THREE city centre trees, which had been the centre of demonstrations from green campaigners, were chopped down today.
The London Plane trees in Norfolk Street were cut down just after midday as part of the preparation for the demolition of the Westgate car park.
In January, county councillor Deborah Glass Woodin was arrested by police on suspicion of aggravated trespass in a protest at the removal of the trees.
There was a large police presence at the scene today, but no protesters were present.
