Council sourceWorks to trees in St James Conservation Area, Altham Goat Willow (on sketch plan as 'T3', not thought to be protected by TPO 1974 No.2, G1, group consisting of... 7 Willow) remove due to stem decay (it is considered that this tree is not protected by TPO owing to age, scale and description of 'group of Willow' rather than Goat Willow species, and no other Willow within this verge). Sycamore (on sketch plan as 'T3', not protected by TPO) remove as a preventative measure. Ash (on sketch plan as 'T5', not protected by TPO) removed for site management.
