Cherry Tree Removal on Effingham Road

This is by email from the Council's tree officer:

The cherry tree outside 66 Effingham Road N8 is being removed as it is implicated in an insurance claim against the authority.

Based on the available evidence a claim against the Council is likely to succeed on the balance of probabilities The presence of roots and desiccated soil together with the cyclical movement demonstrated by the monitoring data suggests that the Council's implicated tree is having an effect on the property.

Prior to removing this tree, warning signs will be erected on the trees informing residents that they are to be removed.
