You may recall that, last year, in the 'Hay Fever' thread I had to move house to get away from a plantation of silver birch trees.
I am alarmed to see that birch trees are included in the list of species to be planted at the Spout House wood community woodland development.

The health problems caused by birch pollen have at last been recognised in Christchurch NZealand.

I will be unable to attend the meeting at the Griffin on Thursday about this woodland development because I am still having breathing problems resulting from the lung inflammation the trees caused me last year.
If anyone reading this is going, please raise the silver birch problem. I have mailed the local gov officer mentioned in that ET news article. Last year I contacted LCC about it but was fobbed off.
