Between Meadway and Brandown (Temple Cloud) there is a COUNCIL OWNED tree which has been assessed by a tree surgeon who’s confirmed it is tree rot and is a danger to the public. It was requested by them that we report this as a matter of urgency. The tree is also hanging over a private property. Also worth noting that the same lane is overgrown with thorns - making it almost un-useable.

    A private management company own this hedge. They have been contacted to cut the hedge back and make the diseased tree safe.
