Another mature tree with special local interest removed on the catch all 'safety grounds' excuse. It's time the Arboricultural Association starts to call out this destruction of out heriatage and biodiverity by tree work contrators. The industy is becoming a joke to the general public who now see tree work companies as nothing more than tree destroyers for financial gain. Theyre not far off the mark imo. It's not 'white van' dodgy contractors either, many many AA approved contractors are are nothing more than risk entrepreneurs now, the conflict is they pay the AA huge amounts of money for the badge. A case of don't bite the hand that feeds you ?

Some residents did not want the tree, which they believed was healthy, to be felled.
