Poor tree work in conservation area

[Starscream]

Sorry Starscream my question was to Stephen, just interested😀.

I've never spiked a live tree just to do a reduction though and I've thought about contacting the council before now but then decide what's the point!

I did work with a kiwi for a couple of days a while back n he always climbed with spikes was fast and a very good arborist, but it seemed kind of counter productive doing fine pruning work while stabbing the tree all over!

 

Ah fair enough.. Was a more productive post than old froggy anyway

And that makes it right?

 

 

It's crap work with out a doubt and nothing I would like to put my name to but the TO has no power to do anything unless they didn't serve notice to the council first, if they did then the TO has no authority on what happens all he can do is serve a TPO or agree to the work.

 

 

Agree to the work? What on spikes to do a reduction? Seriously?

You asked for advice/opinions, I gave mine.

If it's not what you wanted to hear, that's the risk you take

Come on Steve. We shouldn't just be ignoring shoddy work like that. Spiking a tree to do a reduction is a ridiculous thing to be doing.

I spent enough of my time worrying about what other people do, and it made me miserable. Now I just concentrate on my own thing and my stress levels are non existent most of the time. Lifes too short and I have far more productive things to do with my time

A TO has no authority on how the work is done in a CA he either serves a TPO or shuts up, the council can only recommend quality work.

 

I agree with the others, I concentrate on my life and work not others.

Haha, I know, I know.. I don't know what the industry is like over there but where I am in London it's rife with gippos, carrying out poor work. It's responses like yours that have let it get like it is. If more people were willing to do something about these unqualified gardeners then there'd be more work for the professional, better kept trees and less old people getting ripped off.

That's fair enough, but I would have thought trees are in a conservation area to be conserved. Not butchered with spikes and a pole saw.

I agree

Not all trees in a conservation area are worth keeping! If the TO thought it was anything of significance he would of TPO it. Crap work happened in every industry, that's life I'm afraid.
