Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Two More Ladder Trees for the Chop
This just in from Haringey's tree officer:
2 trees are being removed shortly within Harringay Ward
These trees are subject to an insurance claim against the council.
- 119 Lothair Road North
- 127 Seymour Road N8
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 trees are contributing towards the damage
Prior to removing these trees, a warning sign will be erected on the tree informing residents that it is to be removed. Our annual tree planting budget was withheld. This was due to the Council needing to make further savings to its overall budget, because of the reduction in government funding. We will aim to plant new trees in this area, when we have sufficient funding in place.

Don't be so quick to blame the council, Jane. Alex Fraser, our hard working Tree Officer has, as he said, exactly no money in his budget to plant new trees in 2018, so how can he plant any? Blame the shit Government. Sadiq Khan does have some tree money for park trees, and Haringey used it to plant about 8 trees is Woodside Park, more in Chapman's Green, and more in other parks round the Borough. If you go to Lordship Rec on April 14 or 15, you can help Haringey's tree department look after new trees planted there.

It used to be possible to sponsor a tree in your chosen spot. Cost £160?? I was looking into this for the chosen spot outside my window, when the need was pre-empted by a GLA sweep of the area and eight new trees appeared in out road. So, is this privatised version of crowdfunding still happening?
(A sapling doesn't cost £160, more like £10, so the rest must be the labour costs.)
