It was tongue in cheek, but cheers. I've made a couple of trips to the tip, (feel sorry for folk who do not have a vehicle), but to be honest it's not too bad in our area, someone is still emptying the bins sporadically.

If you're in Brum and into trees, did/have you kept abreast of the Amey contract?

 

Nope, not kept abreast of that. Can you fill me in? So to speak. 

[AHPP]

Amey had a contract with Sheffield council. Amey could survey trees, specify work AND do the work. i.e. They had a blank cheque. Cut down loads of perfectly good trees. Locals furious. Big fuss. Then they moved onto Birmingham.

Ah yes, that malarkey, I remember that. The scandalous Sheffield tree massacre. I've not observed anything similar occuring in Birmingham thankfully.

If you see any Amey vans or workers about, still let the air out of their lungs to be on the safe side.

There were problems with funding for street-tree surveys in Brum, I don't know if that has been resolved or not.
