Reepham: Police showed up at Broomhill Lane due to tree removal worries. Neighbors were concerned about trees being cut down at the end of the road.
Lovell Partnerships is building over 100 homes nearby. They sent contractors to clear trees last Thursday to widen and upgrade the road.
However, the contractors had to stop when police arrived. There were concerns about bats living in the trees they were set to clear.
Police confirmed that no crime occurred during the incident. Lovell Partnerships updated their assessments, including a bat survey, to meet legal requirements.
A spokesperson for Lovell Partnerships stated that all work is legal and has the necessary permissions. They expect to finish the work in the coming weeks.
Some neighbors are still worried. They believe the tree report used by Lovell Partnerships is outdated.
