I have worked as a supervisor and relief manager on 1m plus contracts before becoming self employed, this was in the grounds maintenance sector. Im fit, strong as an ox, reliable, and seriously hard working. Times are hard here at the moment as most of us know, so really looking for any opportunities that just may exist out there.

Any person removing or pruning a tree within a Conservation Area, without first giving the statutory notification, is guilty of a criminal offence and liable on summary conviction to a heavy fine. I once worked for a local arborist. Before my time with him he had been called in to do a days work for a friend, a local garden maintenance contractor to do some felling work because he himself had no formal training In tree works. To cut a long story short my old boss felled a large mature oak on the boundary of a church yard having been assured by the garden contractor and the vicar that it was in the boundary of the yard and not outside and not protected in anyway. Wrong, forestry commission there before the tree was logged, plans in hand. Result, Vicar = no action, Garden contractor £1000 fine, Arborist on a day rate, not his job or billing the vicar remember = £5000 fine, why = He was the only one Involved who with 45 years of experience and Arb qualifications under his belt etc should have known better.

I hear what you're saying Rob and It certainly seems that way. I wish you all the best with it and remember this, Its basically the same as a Police Interview under caution and you have exactly the same rights ie the right to have someone with you be it a legal rep, friend etc, the right to say nothing, the right to leave at any time. Out of further curiosity, have you spoken to your former boss or work colleagues about this, Im sure you're not the first to be contacted.

Hi Rob If you are asked to attend a formal Interview, which I believe you say you have been?, a formal Interview is normally, a formal Interview under caution!. Also, a formal Interview under caution usually means that the local authority believes you have committed a criminal offence!. Just thought you would want to know this as I am sure you want to be prepared In the best way possible. What Im curious about is, have you not received a request In writing to attend the Interview?, as this Is normal practice!
