The Government says the tree at Fairy Bridge hasn't been cut down.

A number of local residents have expressed concern on social media after trees were chopped down in the area.

Some claimed the tree which locals and visitors pin notes, photos and other trinkets to was among those that had been cut down, but a statement from the Government insists the iconic tree is still standing.

One of the boughs has been cut back, and a licence was granted for nearby trees to be removed, meaning the general appearance of the area has changed.
