    Works to TPO trees Ash tree T2 - ideally fell the tree due to excessive shading and the excrement the birds leave covering vehicles in potentially hazardous and toxic waste. Fell this tree and replant with either an Ash or blossom tree - a blossom tree making the street much more appealing. If not allowed to fell the tree completely trim the tree by 40/50% as anything less than this would not make a difference under TPO 2016 No 1 Parker Street.
