Wheredo I stand if I come across a fallen ash in the road, and I start to cut it up and clear it for the timber. Can the tree owner ask for it back, and can the police tell me not to do it as I am not on the approved list?

I would think the answer is you can't touch it because it's not your contract, probably you won't have the correct signs and traffic management etc.:thumbdown:

I have cut up loads of trees on back roads with the police there just to get home and they were glad I was doing it, 99% of human beings would raise a glass to your hard work but unfortunately the other 1% make all the noise and ruin I mean run the country:sneaky2::biggrin:

all of the above are correct

 

all our tree across road jobs are normally ROAD CLOSED either by the police or LA

if it's a tree from a private garden and the roads closed i would imagine the home owner would be glad for someone to cut it up and take it for firewood rather than get a hefty bill from the LA

Got a call Saturday night, customer had a large ish euc in the back garden which they had just noticed a new "lump" in the ground at the base!

I advised it was the root plate beginning to lift, and we arranged to remove the tree Saturday morning.

 

At least I didn't have to climb it!!

Got to go cut this up managed to fall just right, missed the phone line and the electric wires either side of the driveway and missed the greenhouse just to the right of it, luckily her neighbour had a digger working up there so he moved it off the drive for them, only thing is the customer wants to keep all the wood....bugger.....:laugh1:
