Islanders in the village of Cranmore are said to be "devastated" and were "close to tears" after they witnessed around 70 mature oak trees being ripped down - without permission.
During the last weekend of April (24,25), residents in Cranmore, which is a village three miles east of Yarmouth, were “visibly distressed” - as the felling was carried out in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - at Silver Glades Caravan Park.
