University of Oxford under fire as it fells nearly 100 trees local villages rely on as noise barrier from A34 traffic

Residents of Wolvercote said the level of noise in their area is already beyond what is considered safe due to the traffic on the A34.

Rob Whitty, Wolvercote villager and campaigner for an acoustic sound barrier for the village, said: “Everybody that has received the news that 90 trees were going to be cut down is shocked. City councillor for Wolvercote, Jo Sandelson, has asked why neither the council or residents were informed of the felling order that was put in place.

“They woke to the sound of chainsaws this week and trees crashing down only tens of metres from their homes.
