    Apple tree in playground behind 19 Brookside. The tree is dead and removal has been advised in a recent annual arboreal inspection. The intention is to remove the remaining branches to avoid injuries from a falling branch. The trunk is to be cut back to a height of 150cm and a bird house/feeding table installed to provide interest for pupils. The trunk and roots will be removed when the playground is next renovated.
