Extinction Rebellion Shrewsbury will call on Shropshire Council to ‘Stop The Chainsaw Massacre’ in a protest outside Shirehall as the North West Relief Road goes to a planning committee for a final decision on Halloween.
The protest, which will be held outside the Northern Planning Committee meeting at Shirehall, will feature a ‘chainsaw maniac’ in Halloween costume attacking the 550-year-old Darwin Oak.
Jamie Russell from Extinction Rebellion Shrewsbury said: ‘The North West Relief Road is an environmentally-destructive nightmare, so it’s fitting the planning meeting is on Halloween. If this road gets the go-ahead, councillors will be committing an unforgivable Shropshire chainsaw massacre. "This is the tree that the world’s most famous naturalist, Charles Darwin, sat under as a young man. There is no way to justify this in the midst of a climate and ecological emergency. Darwin must be spinning in his grave."Environmental concerns over the road plans had seen multiple organisations formally object to the NWRR, including the Woodland Trust, Shrewsbury Friends of the Earth, the Shropshire Wildlife Trust, and Jamie said, even, the council’s own ecology and tree teams.
Campaigners argue that the NWRR runs counter to the council’s own climate emergency declaration in 2019 and the UK’s legally binding net zero pledges.
