  St Johns Church Of England Primary School Poplar Street Heaton Mersey Stockport SK4 3DG

  We wish to cut down 35 very tall (15/20 metres) poplar trees, some of which are in danger of falling due to a hollow centre. They are positioned on the western perimiter of the school site. A report commissioned some years ago found that some of the trees would shed branches and some were likely to fall down completetely. Some branches have already fallen from these tree during high winds. The school building is close enough to the trees that falling branches could damage the fabric of the building. More importantly there is a significant danger to the children from falling branches. We have already planted trees between many of the poplars, which we hope will thrive when not having to fight as much for light and ground water. We have also planted over 700 sapling across the school grounds (with many more to come) and will continue with our Forest School to raise awareness of the importance and joys of nature with our children.
