    Tree Officer agreed amendment of tree works: Prune the Willow back to the original pollard points leaving the main trunk and stems as a high pollard. Reason - Tree has some decay underneath the bark. The point at which this is, is where most of the weight is sat. The roots have also lifted the driveway. Where the tree is located is on a main road, very close to the house, Public car park and is also hanging over a main walk way for pedestrians and school children.
