Pollarding Poll

A resident in the vicinity of the Sherman Garden 5oft+ trees for which I have proposed a pollarding scheme is concerned about the exercise. I do not want to unduly frighten local residents and confirm the exercise is one that will not terminate the lives of the trees, it is actually a density reduction practice that will see larger limbs cut of the trees and the height reduced significantly. 95% of poplar trees survive such an exercise and the trees in question were put through a similar scheme 7 years ago. If any residents has been unduly alarmed let me apologise for not indicating this information with the level of clarity that I perhaps should have. Problems associated with the existing trees includes, local subsidence that has damaged over 3 properties, stick secretions causing damage to vehicles and property and loss of sunlight, reducing quality of life for residents (who don't get enough on England as it is).

This information is being posted to local residents - do please join our campaign and share your thoughts on the proposed project by posting on this blog, writing or calling.
