More trees for the chop.......

......but these trees were not damaged by the recent storm, just by "wear and tear". And much as most of us love trees - from time to time is does become necessaryr to remove them - like this one in Hillfield Road!       

In addition to a list of trees in Ravenshaw/Broomsleigh Street we received recently, we have just had a second list from the Council’s Tree officers.

It seems they recently inspected our local trees and decided to remove some for health and safety reasons. The trees are scheduled for removal this winter by the Council’s term tree contractors. The tree pits will be marked for replanting.

Below is a list of locations and reasons they give for removal of the trees.
