Proposal

T1 Large over mature ash tree situated in field boundary over hanging main road. Highways have flagged this tree as dangerous and requested works to the tree ref : Hr/jr/A513. We are proposing the removal of this tree as it is in significant rapid decline it proximity to the road means traffic management will be required so work over several years would not be cost effective. T2 and T3 both ash trees showing signs of ash dieback. We propose removal of both trees as they will pose a significant threat to traffic on main road betley if let to decline further.
