Save the cherry trees outside the Med School!

We the undersigned strongly disagree with your plans to destroy the mature cherry trees at the entrance of the Medical School to build the Hospital Plaza and Transport Interchange on Vincent Drive.  Destroying these wonderful trees is unnecessary and unjustifiable.  These trees, which have taken many years to grow, represent a unique, beautiful and ecological key element to the landscape and their value could never be replaced by artificial man-made objects.  We strongly believe that removing these trees would mean a great loss to our school, the university, and the wider community.

We urgently ask you to reconsider and take the necessary steps to ensure that any developments incorporate these trees in the plans.
