Dead tree that was declared safe by the council comes down badly damaging two cars

[Mick Dempsey]

We're all a little dead inside aren't we Maria Stebbings?

"A DEAD tree, believed to have been declared safe by Basildon Council just weeks ago, has come crashing down...writing off one car and badly damaging another.

 

Half of the tree, in Renacres, Basildon, had already fallen, but the rest had been declared safe by tree surgeon acting on behalf of the council. "

 

Hmmm, don't always believe what you read in the press...what's the old adage about not letting the truth get in the way of a good story

 

Of course it might be accurate.

Maria Stebbings, summing up the mood of the nation.

Are these the same people who were appalled at Sheffield Councils recent safety cull?

 

I doubt it seeing as they are in Basildon It's only about 200 miles away though.

Surprising what people think. Guy asked for the removal of his Tpo'd Cherry. Met on site and he said the tree was dead. I said the pink things above us are flowers so it is alive.He then said "Oh I don't know I am not a gardener."
