The tree near Pullmans Volkswagen we thought could be saved last week is rotten right through and is being taken down today by the Council’s tree surgeons. It had been hoped it could be saved last week when it was inspected, but the inside is just too rotten and there is a risk it could be blown over in heavy wind.

The council has agreed to plant a number of trees to replace it, but obviously losing an 80 year old Ash tree is a terrible shame.
