A PETITION aimed at stopping the felling of 70 trees in Dummer has now gained more than 87,000 signatures.
Seven days on, the plea has massively taken off, with that total reached more than 58 times over, and the goal now increased to 150,000.
Posting in the group, organiser Christine specifically urged Basingstoke residents to show their support to make it a priority for local representatives.
She added: "The strength of opposition is evident from this massive support. BUT WE NEED TO KEEP GOING BY SHARING."
Earlier this month, Basingstoke council’s Development Control Committee greenlit plans for a major distribution hub, thought to be occupied by Amazon, on the ‘Basingstoke Gateway’ land by Junction 7 of the M3.
