Falling Beech Tree Branches
27 Aug 2010
Recently two large branches fell from a beech tree in Skippetts Lane East. They fell over 60
feet onto the road. Fortunately no-one was hurt.
Ron Hussey asked the Council's tree officer for advice. The officer noted many dead branches
overhanging the lane plus other trees leaning towards the road
She wrote to the land owner reminding them of their duty of care to keep the trees on their land
in a safe condition.
She also urged them to have the trees inspected by a competent arborist and to take appropriate
action.
Hopefully, no trees will need to be felled
