I AM very interested to read about the petition regarding trees in Ashton Park.

It's nice to know people care.

Unfortunately the council spends large amounts of our money on daft projects.

Take my problem for one, I live next to Coronation Park in Greasby and for years I have pleaded with the council to cut back trees over hanging my property, but to no avail.

Last summer's long dry spell has brought the situation to a head and now we have subsidence caused by the trees to close to my property.

It's in the hands of my insurers.
