Environmental campaigners in Jersey say they're furious trees and shrubs have been removed from a St Helier car park to make way for a new financial centre.
The activists, led by green-group SOS Jersey, say the work on the Esplanade in St Heliershould not be allowed to happen.
They accuse the Jersey Development Company (JDC) of breaking planning rules by carrying out the work - something the JDC deny.
Today the Environment Department confirmed the work is legal.
