Sheffield tree campaigner avoids jail
A CAMPAIGNER who breached an injunction during a protest against controversial tree felling in Sheffield had his case dismissed yesterday.
Sheffield City Council's controversial tree felling programme, part of a 25-year £2.2 billion PFI highway maintenance programme run by Amey, has triggered long-running resistance which it attempted to stop with an anti-protest court injunction.
Mr Justice Males previously ruled Paul Brooke had breached the court order by entering safety zones around trees being felled.
