Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Cut back all the limbs that extend over the river back to the shoreline, around 5-6 metres, reduce the rest of the canopy to form an aesthetically pleasing shape, around 2-3 metres off the top and 2 meters on the back side of the tree, to keep it in balance, final width around 7-8 metres x 1 Weeping Willow (T1)
