Tree vandals make the news

Make the guilty parties pay for replacements as near to the original size as possible, then give them a spade and tell them to start digging the holes for the trees to go in

Same thing happening Ilsham Marine Drive Torquay, new money development site near to the view over Thatchers rock. There are notices put up by the local council asking for information as to who is hacking back TPO trees which are interupting the view.

Local T.O. pointed out a bank with a good few mature oaks that mysteriously got felled new years day,I had a look at the cuts,and they were not done by a pro.

The trees are just left in a heap where they fell,quite a hazard they are.

Seems someone was going to loose the sale on their house,as the buyer was concerned about the trees cutting out sunlight.So,some numbnut dropped the lot,they are on a disused railway banking,not owned by the property for sale!

Billboard idea would work a treat! Unfortunetly the council has much less clout than the people who live there though....

Get someone to come and veteranise the remainding damaged trees. That will change the view from the Sanbanks properties.

 

I used to windusrf in Poole harbour regularly. I loved it. Shame to populate it with such uncaring people.

One of the properties we look after round the corner from sandbanks had a protected pine drilled and poisoned, to rub salt into the wound they had to pay to have the dead tree removed and replaced! It was obviously one of the property owners a row back who was losing their view of the harbour.
