what would ur response be ..............

[Sam Thompson]

The organiser must be a bit dense not to have considered the terrible PR that cutting down such ancient tree would cause

 

Dito

 

I think MrH is about right though. If you refuse it you might be looking for another job at the end of the week.

[chaffey]

Don't worry about it. Think of the logs:lol:.

Think i'd have to talk to them and try to make them see sense!!

[renewablejohn]

Definitely a LISTED tree and do we have permission to chop it down?????

[skyhuck]

I would sharpen my big saw!!

[dangerous brian]

Be tactful Paul as you dont want to lose any future work,but if it dont feel right dont cut it,nice to see that your working matey cheers Brian.

[Matt Butler]

my response would be

 

"I take it you'll want us to remove all the cord wood"

[janey]

Definitely a LISTED tree and do we have permission to chop it down?????

 

Do you mean that it's subject to a TPO (Tree Preservation Order) or it's a a Conservation Area? If either of those apply then don't even think about carrying out any work on with without the relevant paperwork in place.

 

If you're getting pressured to fell it anyway, tactfully (or not, depending how you feel that day) point out that you're not prepared to risk your reputation and a possible £20,000 plus fine.

[Czlowiek Drzewo]

explain to them how nice the tree is and make them remove something else to get good access.

 

if they persist them phone the local newspaper and make a story of it. Name and shame will stop them dropping it.
