What we won’t do
We manage all essential tree maintenance, as with taking care of dangerous trees. Yet we won’t alter trees:
- for cosmetic reasons or appearance
- because they block light
- for the benefit of solar panels
- due to the loss or disruption of TV or satellite signals
- if they block a view
- due to shed leaves, fruit or debris, which we will also not remove
- due to branches overhanging adjoining land
- because they are tall or sway close to properties
Tree planting information
We are running a major tree planting and surgery project. See our article ‘Work to keep the county borough’s “urban forest” in good health’ for more information, and check our social media channels for updates.
