Proposal
Five Day Notice. We have an Oak tree at 56 Twyford Avenue, N2 9NL, which has a TPO. It has several branches which need to be removed/made safe due to crossing, fused and split sections and dead wood. I’ve attached some photos for consideration. I’ve also attached a photo of the neighbours tree showing mass die-back and carrying dead wood which is number 58.
