Preferential treatment been given to people owning expensive houses/postcodes. I don't think this pollarded tree was an urgent issue for the councils attention! No damage to property, footpath or highway.

  • Trees in this area are re-pollarded every 3 years due to them being pollarded a number of years ago. Once trees are pollarded this is a necessary maintenance requirement as new growth is liable to split and fail if left too long.
