Mosque Trees Saved by Nottingham Council | Nottingham News

In a dramatic showdown in Sneinton, a mosque’s bid to cut down six protected trees—claimed necessary for public safety after an elderly woman was injured by crumbling pavement—was blocked by Nottingham City Council. Neighbors rallied, launching a petition to save the healthy trees, arguing pavement repairs could be done without felling them. While mosque leader Nadim Khan voiced disappointment over the council’s refusal, tree advocate Kerry Warwick celebrated the victory, stressing trees’ irreplaceable value and slow growth. Council officials sided with the campaigners, insisting the trees’ public benefit outweighed the pavement issue—and that the mosque must find alternative solutions. For now, the trees remain standing, but the mosque’s safety concerns linger unresolved.
