Hewitt Road Cherry tree to be cut down outside 66 -68..

This is my email today concerning the notice to fell one of only 2 cherry trees in Hewitt Road. It doesnt seem to have any fungi stated on the notice roped around the tree..so .. and if they had to there's been no consultation and no statement that a cherry tree would be put in its place..to contrast with the misplaced silver birches that are unmanaged by the council. Here's my email to the dept... i hope it's the right end of the Council. If anyone thinks this needs to go elsewhere please contact me.
Please send an email to the above address too if you agree and think it important to keep the Ladder beautiful.
Thanks
Barbara

Dear Haringey

Re: Cherry Tree disposal order outside 66 Hewitt Road N8

I am concerned that an order has been placed on the tree opposite our property.

It is a lovely cherry tree..one of only two on the road and possibly the whole of the Ladder.

The notice says it has a fungi at the bottom which therefore merits it's demise. We have looked carefully at the tree and there is no sign of this.

Please count this as an objection to the disposal of the tree. It is so beautiful when it blossoms annually and we don't want another nondescript tree placed there.

Paul Simon's planting of silver birches several years ago has not been managed properly since they were planted. They need protective roping around the lower trunk so that when cars back into them (!!!!) they are protected and need trimming from time to time.

The notice says a new tree will be put in its place. Is this a replacement cherry tree please? There has been no consultation at all in this part of the street and this is very disappointing. I am a member of the Haringey Online Community website and i am now about to post this letter for all to see so that other people are in the know.

What protection exists for the other cherry tree which is outside 72 -72 Hewitt Road?

These are part of the historical heritage of Hewitt Road and the Ladder.

Yours Sincerely

Barbara
