WHITEHOUSE, 34B FOYLE ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RH
The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.
