Proposal

5 x Lawson Cypress, Remove. 3 x Multi-stem Maples, Overall crown reduction of 4-5m. The present size and spread of these trees is having an adverse effect on the adjacent bowls green. The grass is dying as a result of the water extracted by the roots of these trees and the reduction in light caused by the overhanging canopy. This has removed two of the available rinks for play this year. This represents a third of the playing surface of the bowling green, which has impacted on our ability to play our bowls matches this season.
