Mid January saw some essential tree surgery at East Court on three mature Horse Chestnut trees near the Ambulance Station, which were in an “average to poor” condition.
Over the past few years several limbs have been shed, some across the road, and as a precaution MSDC have removed these trees. The gap will only be temporary however as an avenue of Lime trees were planted along the access road some years ago to provide succession planting and pre-empting the need for removal of these trees. The removal of the mature trees will allow the young trees space to grow and establish without their form being spoilt.
