Re-pollard to previous cut points or where suitable establish new cut points. Ensuring all is cut back to good growth points. T2. Located on the right-hand grass verge, by the second parking area, just as the road starts to bend in St Thomas Walk - Branches are overextending and touching the building, recommend to reduce away from the building, providing 1.5m - 2m clearance.

    G1 - 3x Ash trees grouped outside houses 1 + 2 St Thomas Walk. All three trees are lapsed pollard trees and need to be re-pollarded back to the previous knuckles removing 4-5m from the tips, to prevent future snap outs. There is also significant bark cracking, a cavity at its base and staining on the trunk of one of the three trees. (The other 2 trees in the group are not showing any obvious signs of problems. If the 3 trees are re-pollarded, it will increase longevity of the trees by reducing the wind sail effects of the canopies and re-establishing a 5 year pollard routine)
