Hope I got this right........

It is not a recognised public foot path, but is used by the public as a shortcut between a housing estate and an industrial estate.

 

Here we go.....The owner of the tree (owner of industrial estate) wants the tree down. Kent County Council (who rent the car park next to the tree) do not want to lose it but want it 'safe'.

 

The proviso on the tree staying is my telling 'the owner' that the tree is 'now safe'.

 

If I start suggesting that paths be moved.....I'm sure questions will be asked, and the tree may get the chop.......

 

Thats why I say.....I hope I got this right.

 

See your dilema with the owner, but if its a desire line path could you not obstruct and open/cut a new suggested path.

Could do......but as you say I have a dilema.

 

It would have been my prefered choice of action.

Dont compromise....either yourself or the owner...if the tree is such that the path must be moved for safety reasons..seek to do so before you all end up with.............Good luck and a good choice in keeping it IMO....

I'd think very carefully about ever telling anyone that

[Mac McLennan]

I know exactly what you're saying Steve. ......Could, should, may, appears etc.

 

[Steve Bullman]

last time someone told me it was "safe" look what happened

Good decision. And look's like a job well done.

 

Certainly a tree with a lot of character!
