Tree Survey
The Parish Council recently commissioned a survey of trees on its land. The report shows that the trees are generally in a good condition, however one beech tree in the recreation grounds has been infected by a fungus that damages the tree roots. The arboriculturist has recommended that the tree be felled for safety reasons due to its proximity to play area and footpaths.
