Winds werent too strong in Dorset. Although just chatting to a friend of mine who is currently working over in the USA on the East coast we may have a strong low pressure on the way. It was packing winds of 120 mph and sometimes more. So hopefully that one will head north and go into the arctic or else we are all going to be extremely busy.

I've seen three trees down in the Warwick area since late last week - two which had blocked roads, and one in a piece of verge which had evidently been dead for a while and failed at ground level.

 

Out of interest, do the police or highways people have a contract with an arb company in each area? I'm not trying to get in on the business, just curious.

I believe you can register/give your details to the police to be called out on emergenciy tree work. Not sure what the full details are, might be worth starting a new thread as I'm sure some one on the forum will know

I think I would want to know who to post the invoice to first as the police would't be paying for it,

Just phone the police ( non emergancy line) they'll add you to their contacts list, they'll ask what you can do and what you charge per hour.
