View council mapThe ash is currently in Bartholomew Close, at the very corner of the park approx. 4 metres from a semi detached house. I have also attached pictures of the tree in question. You will see that at the base is cavity rot approx. a meter high by around 300mm wide. Upon inspection of this cavity a large piece of the heart wood was removed. It was also noted that large amounts of the ash that had fallen from the tree had signs of ash dieback. Location of the tree provides a large health and safety risk as the park is used by children and adults to enjoy the river Windrush. Should the tree fall towards the house/road then this will also cause significant damage and adds to the health and safety risk factor.
