Parish council agree to fell tree - how to stop?

[Logrod]

In a worst case scenario if they do chop the tree down I have a tree in my garden the naked women could be chained to whilst you were waiting for the new tree to get to size

Seems fair enough too me .

 

Really

 

If theres no problem with the roots then I can't possibly see what good reason the neighbour may have to ask for it to be felled?

[Mesterh]

Why is anyone complaining? Surely they all have beautiful trees like that right next to their house.

 

Sorry but I hate the fact that others can force an issue on someone else when they don't have to deal with the consequences.

 

Think about it, it's highly immoral.

Thank you for your kind offer Logrod - I will keep it in mind

On a more serious note did the council stick notices up saying that they would be consulting on the removal of the tree? If they were shifting a footpath for example you would expect notices so anyone interested was alerted to the meeting. Not following due process perhaps?

It says the tree has structural problems and intervention will be needed, probably in the form of felling

As I said, a learning parish councillor, I do know though, we have powers charged to us, that we exercise. You would be best asking the clerk for a legal position. We are blessed with a very qualified clerk who takes none from any one, councillor, or parishioner, and advises us on our powers as he/she is charged / employed to do.

 

If you have no joy, consult the NALC, who are the national body for pc's, or your local branch.

No, no notices

I'd disagree - looks in good health to me.

Thank you for that again Mrs Eggs - I will ask the clerk for the legal position
