AS Michael Green suggests (HAS, Mar 19) I have taken time to visit the site that was formerly the home of Blackwell Grange Golf Club.

I was greeted with a scene of pure destruction with tree trunks piled up like bodies and the stumps left sticking out of the ground resembling gravestones.

This once peaceful site has now been desecrated but this of course is only the start of it with phase two on the opposite side of the road yet to take place. It is only a matter of time before those trees go the same way.

All very sad indeed and a total waste of good healthy trees.
