T4 Walnut - fell to ground level. As can be clearly seen from one of the photos, the surface dwelling roots of the Juglans are lifting the footpath and have become a trip hazard. Until now, the residents were happy to keep the tree as it adds to the streetscene in the locality. However, Openreach are now installing fibre optic broadband across the entire Cator Estate and the path under which the roots reside is going to be dug up to accommodate this upgrade. Thus, as noted in the Tree Survey, the tree needs to be removed as it would be unsafe to retain given the extensive root pruning that is required.
