Council sourceA willow tree (T1) next to the stream and close to the house. This is at the rear of the property.The tree has a significant hole which spreads into the trunk - distance not known but probably at least half way. We wish to pollard the tree to reduce all growth since the previous pollarding in 2017. This is to try to preserve the tree and prevent the tree splitting and, therefore, having to remove it.
