17 Barbaras Meadow Tilehurst Reading RG31 6YF

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/01875/TPW Tree Works Under TPO

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Removal of a damson tree (A1) that died just over 12 months ago after a heat wave last year. We have left it a year to see if would recover, but sadly it has not. Tree is approximately 7 metres tall and trunk circumference is approximately 166cm.
