It's on a bend, therefore traffic visibility issues.

It's within a hundred yards of a dwelling, therefore subsidence issues.

It's not visibly diseased, but they often hide it from external assessment.

Children or drunks, or drunken children, may climb it to a height of more than two metres without wearing a fall-arrest system.

Not far from the railway, therefore causing potential low-rail-adhesion issues, due to indiscriminate leaf fall.

I'm sure there are plenty more reasons....

All deciduous trees obviously present an unacceptable risk when the leaves fall off, making the roads and pavements dangerously slippery. I'm sure Stafford Borough Council will have a 400-page ChopemDown Strategy somewhere.

Also, that mixed with rain drops from clouds, is a danger to the little human race!

On a recent visit to Stafford I found another pylon I like near Crinoline Bridge. I think I'm going to need a bigger garden ... :q:

They won't even pay that - I would be fairly confident that nobody will be penalised at all for this one.

It took three weeks for the site to be visited...

They've just taken a load off a tree up our way. Only a bit though, and we don't even have any overhead wires anywhere. Looks worse than if they'd just lopped the whole thing off.

It's getting on for an arf' a mil fine by my maths, but honestly, nothing will get done, be done nor done done.

Those looking into it may have had something to do with it, who knows big nose?

There was a team of tree surgeons up on the canal behind the Radford Bank earlier. They were midway through removing a couple of poplars as I passed.

I was in "The Meadows" and could hear that going on - one has to suspect that the big one at the back of Lidl hasn't got long to go....
