    5 DAY NOTICE: We have looked after this tree for the best part of 15 years or so but it suffered from a major collapse to the lower main stem last week. Approximately 30% of the tree snapped and fell onto the home-owners car but without too much damage.Unfortunately the wound is significant and very low down on the main stem and I have recommended that the tree be cut to ground level as there is, unfortunately, no way of salvaging the tree. The immediate concern is that the tree now has a major weak point to the lower stem and is weighted heavily to one side, and another main stem leans towards the garage so I wish to submit a 5 Day notice for Tree Removal.

We are obviously keen to get the necessary works carried out as soon as possible, not only to ensure that the advised remedial measures are undertaken to protect the tree itself, but also as a vital health and safety measure to protect users of the Village Hall and their property in that area.
