Here's a view from the park. A real shame...

I'm now going around the ward to check the damage and will post a list here later which I will also pass onto the Council. Perhaps readers could add anything they spot which I might miss.

I've now completed my tour (fortunately just before the heavens opened!) and can report that we seem to have got off relatively lightly.

I've been in touch with the Council's arboriculturalist and he's told me that they are aware of the Pemberton Road trees, and the one in Ducketts common as well as the ones in Hampden and Lausanne Roads. Because it was not clear whether they knew of the one outside 91 Hampden, I subsequently reported that, as well as the one outside 59 Fairfax Road. I've also reported fallen branches by North Harringay Primary School on Falkland Road and on Endymion Road by the junction with Green Lanes.

I've also requested help for the Railway Fields Nature Reserve, where a few trees are partially fallen and where the areas which are open have had to be restricted. NB: The Reserve IS nonetheless open and there is an activity for children tomorrow (Tuesday) between 1:00 and 3:00.

Turning to non-tree damage, I've reported a listing street light outside 79 Falkland Road, and the damaged fence and garden wall at 118 Wightman Road, by the junction with Pemberton Road.

I'll have a look at the billboard sites on Green Lanes (reported elsewhere on this site) shortly.

Wow..That's one huge tree. Such a shame.

We've just been past clissold park and it's closed. Lots and lots of trees down in there... think it may take a while to clear.
