Residents in The Lawns are relieved

Following action by your Lib Dem team, residents in The Lawns are relieved to find that the dead and dying trees at the back of Melton Grange have finally been cut down and the whole area tidied up.

Residents first raised concerns when Melton Grange closed as a residential home and received planning permission to be converted into flats. As residents explained it looked like the site at the back would be left untouched with the dead and dying trees becoming increasingly more dangerous to our homes and gardens.

As Sue explained

"Tree Preservation Officer recommened that two Cupressus trees which were dead should be felled immediately since the bottom 1m of bark has been stripped casuing them to be 'ring barked' which has resulted in them displaying basal decay and initial cracking making them potentially dangerous. He also asked for the developer to take action to tiday up the site and I am very pleased to say that this has now been done."
