  Two cherry trees that are hanging dangerously over the road. T1 has been consistently hit by high sided traffic. Both T1 and T2 have loose roots and could potentially fall. Work advised by Elm Park Tree Services, arborists, is to cut main trunk of both trees to before the strong upright growth thereby eliminating pull on roots and danger of falling onto road or pedestrians. This will leave the trees alive but safe. Positioning of cuts proposed shown on attached photograph.
