Um - how about mind your own business? After all , if you felt that strongly about it you should have attended the parish council meeting & made your feelings known.

Really Its a tree on common land outside the village pub. Its a community issue, not a private matter

So not very near the bloke who has applied to have it felled ?

The bloke who's asked for it to be felled lives next to the common land Stubby. Ther are a number of other houses close by and the pub. I live on the opposite side of the road and have trees next to me on common land. They casue me no problem, I enjoy them. The wall of the nieghbours house and garden runs alongside the common land. The tree is about fifteen feet away from his wall. At the moment I don't know why hes asked for it to be removed. There may well be a good reason that I'm not aware of however theres no obvious cause for concern.

Ask him why he wants it removed . Once you have established that , offer him some alternatives that may help to retain the tree and at the same time give him some relief from what ever his problem is ........

Here we go Mick. There are two properties behind the wall that you can see far right in the picture. Apparently its one of the proeetyowners thats asked for the tree to be felled.

Looks superb from that view . What does it look like from the blokes perspective ?

Thank you Stubby, thats good advice. At the moment I don't know the full facts. You know how stories can change as they do the rounds in local communities so I'm mindful of not jumping to any conclusions.

Thank you for posting the picture, I can see your point now.
