Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Tree down in Finsbury Park Krankbrother event area

For years the Friends of Finsbury Park and Haringey Tree Protectors have been warning that allowing Krankbrother to use the wooded area in Finsbury Park (down the hill from the nursery) for an event venue for thousands of people will cause damage to the tree roots and possible loss of trees.

Well, in the last week a Horse Chestnut has fallen over in the event area, as can be seen in the attached photo.

Horse Chestnuts have a shallow root system and the compaction of the surrounding soil caused by thousands of event goers leads to damage to the roots and so weakens the tree.

How long before the Green controlled Haringey Council puts a stop to these events? It will be interesting to see how Councillor Bethany Anderson (ex co-chair of the Friends of FP) and Councillor Gio Iozzi (founder of Haringey Tree Protectors and Council Cabinet member) respond.

Indeed; thanks for this Konrad.

The previous crew and their employees in their—out-of-control—Events Team simply did not care.

While some of our park's trees in the Krankbrother quarter are steadily weakened through the indirect effects of local New Labour's commercial exploitation policy, others are managed on behalf of the Event customer:
