council - poor attempt at street planting

[likeitorlumpit]

like goaty said, the fact that they are in a bag can only slow down root establishment, making them more unstable. (they have no stakes or support either) a neighbour says its the same material as a ton of sand would come in...

i cant let this slide tbh as its on my door step, im going to be walking past them almost daily, give us a break lad im only giving them some tlc , im only going off what ive been taught at col, they havnt done anything right by the looks of thing, beariing in mind its all textbook teaching, maybe they will be fine and im over reacting but 'standards are stanards'

 

all this seems to be a massive waste on the councils behalf as its only goin to cause a string of problems i can imagine, not to mension the beating they are going to recieve of the lads with strimmers, every other tree on the street takes a few blows near the base from strimmers each year, some of which has caused cracking from the base upwards.

 

cheers for the response guys, much appreiciated.

 

woven plastic bags= not good:thumbdown:

You've picked this up well

Next time you post- to give us a chance of giving you a good answer from the start it would help to have accurate information and preferably photos- but thats just a perfect world- I'm happy that not everyone accepts things at face value

Let us know the outcome- if they haven't already been snapped by the vandals

agreed

 

cant believe some would let this slide, standards are standards, wouldnt couldnt walk by this without sorting it myself, its my trade.

 

Yep, I find myself doing the same thing when I see it Tony, I guess we're cursed with that dreaded condition called a conscious:thumbup1:

Which Council? I used to be based round Preston/Garstang/Longridge so if it's local to Myerscough I might even know the tree officer. There's every chance that the work was done by a contractor rather than council staff, so by highlighting the problem you could well be doing them a favour.

Did you report it Sam?

 

If so what was the response?

 

Any action taken as a result?
