Description

Ash tree situated adjacent to Avon Navigation building and public footpath. Fell to as near to surrounding ground level as possible. Reason for work: The tree is a poor specimen. It has previously been pruned approximately 10 metres above ground level. The tree has cavities at ground level and is leaning more than when previously inspected last year. Water aggression to the roots due to the river consistently flooding. If the tree was to fail it will damage the fence and adjacent building.
