Dangerous tree management and public safety

[codlasher]

The back up was prompt attention from the tree officer that day......

'Elf and safety rules are immediately enforceable in closing the area PDQ

TPO/conservation requirements waived IMMEDIATELY. Tree down that day before afternoon tea!

All the 75 miles of roadside trees that were under my hat were on a six month 'attention' notice. Every tree 25 metres from the road. Some were classed as urgent. Some were found to be bl**dy dangerous, in the eyes of the surveying company I hired for the five years it took to do the 75 miles of road edges, not forgetting the FP's, BR's and permitted paths.

I found that when the chips were down things rolled along ok.

PS. FYI, 150 year old ash planted as an avenue marking common land and farmland. Ash on a honeypot walkers car parking area decided to drop a limb the size of my leg. decisions had to be made that minute.
