Proposal

Proposed works to 2 trees are on Bircher Halls ground. We would preferthat the trees were felled as we are nervous now that they could fall on our property as the 4 trees came down on 7th December. They have not been maintained in the 7 years we have lived here. The owner of Bircher Hall states she would only want the trees trimmed to the line of the other trees.
