Surgery Update



The result of the Invasion of the Tree Surgeons can now be seen and it's pretty awful. One of Blacka's best places to be is the terraced walk over the plunging Blacka Dyke with the little edge called Eagle Cliff. This is unfortunate enough to be under the power line. Most of the trees, large or small anywhere near the cable have been summarily destroyed and timber left on the ground drawing attention to the intrusion. This is all very depressing in a place we have grown to value for nature being left alone. And now the area around the cable has been cleared you realise the extent to which you relied on the trees to soften the impact of the power line. When there were trees around you could focus on them rather than the urban materials, the straight lines and the brightly coloured 'danger' signs on the poles.
