Lumberjacks have moved back into a Manchester park under police protection as they continue to cut down hundreds of trees.

Manchester City Council says it wants to return Alexandra Park to how it was in Victorian times.

But a band of protestors have set up camp saying they're determined to stop them.

They've put up rope walkways inbetween trees that are due to come down.
