I am regular visitor to the Maltese islands and I also subscribe to Times of Malta online. I would like to take this opportunity to express my opposition to the removal of the trees in Independence Square, Victoria.

Living in Stockport, Greater Manchester, I am surrounded by trees and greenery in general and I understand how such an environment enriches our lives. Malta is beautiful, especially in spring, and it would benefit even further by encouraging your local flora rather than removing some of it.

I hope that those whose decision it is to decide the fate of these trees will read this letter.
