YOUR photograph of the trees being cut down on the former Blackwell Grange Golf Club site to make way for the Story Homes development was quite sickening (Echo, Mar 15). This is pure vandalism on the part of Darlington Borough Council.
It seems that when it comes to building houses nothing is sacred anymore.
My husband and I were members of Blackwell Grange Golf Club in the 1980s and 1990s and the trees were truly magnificent.
Shame on the council for allowing the planning to go ahead without protection for the trees.
