Sheffield tree protesters get suspended sentences

Simon Crump, Benoit Compin and Fran Grace walk free after contempt of court ruling relating to city tree felling

Three tree campaigners have avoided jail after being found in contempt of court for demonstrating against tree-felling work in Sheffield.

Simon Crump, Benoit Benz Compin, and Fran Grace were taken to court by the city's council as part of a long-running dispute over the city's plans to fell up to 17,000 trees.
