At a previous Town Council meeting tree warden Joyce Lucas told the council this tree was dead. Does she not know trees have often loose their leaves during the winter season. The Council agreed with the Tree Warden and it was agreed the tree could be cut down.
Stamford Road has a lot of wonderful trees. Many have preservation orders and are in conservation areas and this appears to mean nothing At the moment the Town seems happy to cull as many as it can. Last year two very old and healthy Willow trees were cut down by Rutland County Council because resident complained the falling leaves made the pavements slippery.
From the first photograph you can see the tree seems to be a bit out of shape this looks like this because the tree was badly pruned last year. The owner should be prosecuted and the tree saved!
In the second photograph you can see the how the tree compliments the setting that is Stamford Road.
