I just find the idea that without TPOs and tree officers all trees would be felled in towns in months to be ridiculous. My experience here is very different, people plant trees in their gardens the same as anywhere.
-
I only voted on number 3 on the poll. My responses are to the questions in the OP.
-
So we're all going to die without TPOs?
-
I took each question as a separate entity.
-
But do children gasp for oxygen in a concrete desert where there are no TPOs?

1. doesn't need answering bearing in mind 3/4 2. It's been a decade since I dealt with it, but I'm coming back soon to reduce two tpo'd trees for family members and have been dismayed by the paperwork needed for reductions on what I regard as transitory, low value trees, ie birch. Still, you won't get many TOs on here saying the same, turkeys don't vote for Christmas do they?
-
I'll give my opinion on 3 and 4 3: reduce the number of trees with TPOs by 95% 4: not very much if my experience here is anything to go by.

Hi ciaran, this threads five years old. Plenty more recent on the same theme though!
-
Good fix.

Just out of curiosity I checked the price in the UK for that rear lens. £22.50 against €140 here.

Its an unusual departure from your usual modus operandi that's all, insulting members of my family. -
Crikey, that's a mess. Last night I backed into my truck with my pick up, broke exactly the same lens (€140) that I broke doing exactly the same thing 2 weeks ago. Muppetry!

Thanks Joe! Forgot about that one.
-
Well which is this? You goddam troll you! (Joking btw)
-
Yes, it seems like the first person to cry "troll or bully" wins on the internet these days.
-
The more I look at it the more I reckon it is.
-
It's a shame for me as they've introduced a no fire rule in my commune, and I reckon the mayor has his eye on my burgeoning pile!

Yew......maybe

The euro is weak atm I might have to settle for tenners. -
It's not about the environment, or in fact maybe it is, it's about transport, sweet chestnut grows on a 10(or so) year cycle, easy to fell, easy to process, my softwood would cost more to process than I could sell it for.

Yes, I got it, very good. I'm waiting for a new thread....IM ON THE TOILET, I GOT NO PAPER, WHAT SHUD I DO...THANKS. -
Moral of the story, the Home Counties are very affluent, nobody will pay for waste wood. I've got tonnes of conifer, willow etc in my field,we live in an area where sweet chestnut grows as coppice like wheat (SW France) Farmers sell it in the winter as a cash sideline. I'd either have to pay to get rid of my softwood or I'll put a match to it one day.
