The Jubilee Tree, Radstock

We have had TV cameras in Radstock in support of a campaign to save a 115-year-old oak tree which is due to be felled by the council to make way for a new roundabout that will lead to a new housing development.

The tree was planted in Radstock in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and is where a teenage boy was killed in a crash 15 years ago.

Seventeen-year-old Colin Latchem died after being hit by a car near the oak tree in January 1997. Since then the tree has been a place for his family to lay flowers.

The council claim the tree is in poor condition.

The locals what to keep it.

Time will tell as to who will win.

The tree in all its glory.
