First we had the home regulators. They told you what you can or can't do with your home – mostly can't – ostensibly to keep Lewes' historic perception of itself.
Good grief, Lewes was a poor, smelly fishing town once. Get over yourselves.
Now the tree people want to tell you that they don't like how the trees look in your yard and how you must abide by their regulations.
Make no mistake. The tree people will tell you that they are only making suggestions, but if this passes, watch out. Giving an inch and taking a yard has been the default result of every "suggestion" that was ever offered up to the public.

Please keep letters to 500 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content and length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days. Letters restating information and opinions already offered by the same author will not be used. Letters must focus on issues of general, local concern, not personalities or specific businesses.
