bundle 2, fair point. theirs nothing better than seeing a fully mature tree in its full glory, dead or alive but safety dictates that ya not gonna see them in public places, shame really

duely note'd Bundle 2 in the rite location, then yes i agree with you:thumbup1: but not in a public park of a main road that holds 90% of faversham traffic, all day, every day, im sure my thread holds some basis

yea ive noticed more dead branches on the other 3 and last year one just went over into the main road at 7 in the morning, the police wer diverting traffic over the footpath, my mate rang me up saying he was stuck in the traffic, i went up at 10am and the tree was still there, i asked the copper did he want e to cut and clear it for them as thats wot i did for a living and he was well pleased, so i did, apparently the contractors got the call as soon as the tree came over and the copper said they wernt gona be on site for a couple of hours and that was at 10am when i spoke to the copper

morning geoff, yeah i know but still, they are located in a public park thats used everyday,personally if i see a dead tree no matter wot the species, i think they should be dealt with straight away, especially when it invovles the public:confused1: il put some pics up in a bit

hey you bort that for me for being such a good plippy:thumbup1:

the local park just round the corner from my house has 5 elms and coming into spring this year i noticed 2 of the 5 that are fully mature wernt kicking any live growth out, i go past them everyday and have been keeping an eye on them. 2 months ago i rang the council and made them aware of the trees and that they didnt look to healthy, yesterday i spoke to the local tree officer who is only employed once a week on a friday that id reported it to the council and he just laughed, he said ' i got the message you left and went straght to the park to av a look and sure enough they are dead as a do do' he then went on to explain that the contract had been made aware of the status of the trees the same week that i had reproted it and that they would do something about it. il be taking the dog for a walk later and il post some pics but they the trees are still there and over look the busiest road and public park in faverham. my question is, the contractor has been made aware of the situation and will obviously know what species they are, why hant they been removed?, is it budget or maybe they only like cutting the grass and watering the flowers in the town centre, who knows but when the trees decide to go they are gona cause some major damage

thats not true mark, he makes tracey do all the heavy lifting, then rings me up saying he's had a hard week and that he's gona take some time off, i normall get that call on a monday

was just gona check my emails on msn and this popped up with this picture took by a tourist Tourists watch floodwaters gushing out of the Xiaolangdi Dam during a flood-discharge and sand-washing operation of the Yellow River in Jiyuan city, central China's Henan province. The operation started on August 11 was to ensure the flood control in the lower reaches of the Yellow River as many tributaries of the river are flooded due to the heavy rains these days. The discharge process is expected to last for one week.
