Precept Funded Project Renovation 2024 : Tree Risk Assessment on The Green

24th of April, 2024

---

The Parish Council takes its responsibilities to the public extremely seriously which is why we commissioned a Tree Risk Assessment to be carried out on The Green by local tree experts Ken Linford Landscapes Ltd. Their qualified arborist conducted a very comprehensive  survey of the trees on The Green and produced a detailed summary of suggested action that the Parish Council then discussed at length.

We will be acting on Ken Linford's expert advice and carrying out some tree works later in the year after the end of the Bird Breeding Season. This work will be in compliance with rules for tree works in Conservation Areas which The Green is.  All the work we have been advised to have done is to comply with Health and Safety and our legal responsibilities under our Public Liability and to act with due diligence.  There is a dead tree which will be removed and a tree ( second in from Town Road on photo ) which is 'top heavy' and needs pollarding work carried out  on it to reduce the weight of ' included unions' . It will look quite sparse once pollarded,  but we are assured that the tree should recover well as have the trees on The Croft which were also  pollarded just a few years ago.
