Proposal

2/TPO/00329 - The oak tree (TPO 20) is approximately 90' tall and my tree surgeon, Jack Webb of Tree Link Services has recommended that the crown is reduced by 30' The horse chestnut (TPO 21) is approximately 81' tall and Mr Webb has recommended that the crown is reduced by 20' Both trees are a danger to the public and the highway, when the oak bough fell it missed two dog walkers by 20 metres, and blocked the road for a whole day.
