The continued felling of trees this week along the edge of Hampstead Heath has been challenged by residents.
Network Rail contractors cut down trees on the south side of the Overground line last week, and this week works have continued behind Parliament Court, in Parliament Hill.
Hampstead resident Ronete Cohen said: “They (Network Rail) claim safety and the need to eliminate the need to repeat work but this could have been achieved without causing such a drastic reduction in our quality of life.
“There needs to be a more balanced approach that takes all needs into account.”

Community groups have raised concerns about tree felling continuing along the Overground line at the edge of Hampstead Heath next week.
Network Rail contractors cut down trees on the south side of the railway line - backing on to Constantine Road - on Tuesday and Wednesday (March 9 and 10).
Residents have expressed their sadness at the destruction of substantial greenery.
Marc Hutchinson, of the Heath and Hampstead Society, told this newspaper: The damage done is bad for the amenity of the Heath because, from the Heath, you now see buildings where you d previously have seen trees.
