Protest continuesagainst felling
Protesters who stopped the felling of trees in the centre of Doncaster Racecourse spent the day on site again yesterday, and vowed to stay until the threat was lifted.
Members of the group stood in the way of workers on Monday after Mayor Peter Davies gave the order for trees to be cut down to clear a view of racing from the grandstand.
Mr Davies likened protesters to “refugees from Greenham Common wandering around in sandals”, but yesterday they said his comments would not stop their campaign.
Local residents and members of the Town Moor Golf Club, which leases the land from the council, are involved in the protest.
