Photo of this report zoom

Young tree is leaning hard over. The prevailing wind blows left to right of this photo. Really the support should be at 90 degrees! The tree has had some lean for ages, I reported it last year, it was pushed back up but it soon fell a bit to the right. However this extra lean is new.

  • Thank you for your Highways report.

    That is a little concerning, I have requested the Watering crew restrap it again. The roots might have been severed on that side, which would be unusual, but possible.
    Many thanks,

    The situation today. Probably about three weeks ago a worker came and retied the strap and appeared to have made a good job. Just over a week after that men came and removed all the supports and the water bag. Clearly, as predicted last year, the roots are damaged. As I have previously commented, the prevailing wind blows from left to right of this photo. The supports really needed to be at 90 degrees to the way that they were set up. What a waste of Council Tax payers' money!
