Erding's Mayor Max Gotz rejects criticism from business people. The Federal Nature Conservation Association is annoyed by the tree felling.
In addition, from the perspective of conservationists, Erding needs a tree protection ordinance. The city council has so far rejected this so far because it fears it will lead to the loss of trees as large as those that have now been removed, for every tree removed, a new ordinance has been proposed. The BN demands that the new trees must be planted at least two, preferably three, at least as big as the ones that have been removed.
