Thousands sign to save 400-year-old oak tree

More than three-thousand people have signed a petition to save a 400-year-old oak tree from being cut down in Northamptonshire.

It's under threat from improvement works around the A45/A6 roundabout in Higham Ferrers.

A £24 million upgrade of the busy A45/A6 Chowns Mill junction is being carried out to provide more reliable and safer travel.

Highways England says its investigating options that would help retain the tree.
