Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Ladder Safety organiser Ian Sygrave has been working patiently to secure a tree protection order for nine trees on Wightman road along the edge of Jewson’s depot near the junctions with Umfreville Road and Atterbury Roads.

These are five ash tree, two sycamores and three poplars.The council's arboricultural department has finally granted an order on the following grounds,

  • high amenity value, being visible from a public place.
  • semi and mature specimens, appearing healthy, with an estimated lifespan of 20-40 years.
  • important for mitigating air pollution along a road with high traffic volumes
  • other benefits include wildlife habitat, intercepting storm run-off and helping to cool local air temperatures.

Ian commented,

This road has very few trees, and even fewer mature trees, which makes the cluster of trees running along the edge of Jewson’s depot  all the more important. In addition, this site is earmarked for possible/potential redevelopment in the Local Plan, which makes the trees quite vulnerable to removal.

Whilst this TPO will take immediate effect, it still needs to be confirmed by the planning over the next six months.

This is good to know. It's true there are not many trees along the road and it would be very beneficial to all to have them. Thanks for your work Ian

I agee with KP and thanks to Ian Sygrave. 

Well done! Great news, every tree is worth saving. Congratulations from Tottenham Trees and and Tree Trust for Haringey.

This is great news. These trees also obscure an unattractive building which is an extra benefit.
