NOISY fellers: Once mature trees have been chopped down, it is difficult to replace them. This is a situation facing Chineham residents living alongside the railway track, where Network Rail has been vigorously felling trees and thus exposing residents to the noise of passing trains.

Residents who have complained to the rail company have received little reassurance.
