Perhaps they're building HS2 from the middle, outwards

Looks (looked!) pretty healthy from the inside, stumps since been removed.
So, the only way of finding out if a tree is a nuisance, is to chop the thing down, upon finding it's perfectly healthy, no amount of strong adhesive would have the thing upright again.
Clever.

I notice that something large ( possibly as large as a piece of a tree ) has smashed a good section of the guard-rail along the Queensway - possibly causing considerably more of a genuine safety hazard than any of the trees there ever were.
I wonder who will pay to repair it?

Those trees on the edge of the new Riverslide path look a bit precarious.

You can see why we don't have a tree preservation officer , he got in the way and got chopped down by the secret handshake

Where one posts, the other inevitably follows. Mmmmm (as Marwood might post).

Presumably you'll merit a Marwood mmmmm, then?
I'm definitely not @truth, if that's the implication, and I think he/she is wrong about us not having a tree hofficer. We do have one, but he doesn't like trees.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that you were @The truth the whole truth, just that he always seems to post after you.
You are right, we do have a tree officer again.

No problem. Apparently the previous tree officer might have had a conscience, so he was swiftly replaced by another developers' friend, who arrived just in time to terminate that ancient beech tree in Eccleshall Rd. (Allegedly) How long will it be before the row of birches on the same site become dangerous and have to be felled? Big trees nearby at Tillington hotel must also be a hazard
waiting to happen.

As previously
There are plans to 'develop' this green so the usual practice will follow
*Footnote*
One thing that mitigates some of the catastrophic decisions that will now follow is .... boring bit warning..... Osborne and Cameron ( who!) cut spending by local councils by such a degree that they are bereft on ideas to survive or even cope on a week by week basis

One of them did fall a few years ago - can't be too careful.....

Many fell in about 1982

In fact Jimmy Edwards ( deceased actor ) dodged them all - he was staying there at the time
His car also remained unscathed
Random or what
( it was a storm )

Could replace it with one of these?
I've heard that Pinus Mobilus is very susceptible to fungal infections.
