The group are taking on Plymouth City Council, handing in a petition with 12,500 signatures and organising a rota for members to watc over the area.

The Save The Trees of Armada Way team are trying to stop 129 trees in the city centre from being felled.

Member Lisa Edwards, 57, insists she will stand by the trees to deter a chainsaw, whatever the consequences”.

Ms Edwards, who was up early on Christmas morning to patrol the area, said: I’m fully prepared to do that because it’s important to me. I’m not an activist, I’m just a local grandmother.”
