On Tuesday 10/02/15 Chris Wege and myself took advantage of tree surgeon Jamie Dyer's availability to fell two willows which were leaning over Wheatsheaf Path.
The smaller one was rotten almost right through at the base and the other, much larger was leaning heavily and pulling out of the ground. It was also beginning to propagate a split from it's base up the trunk. It was healthy at the base but rotting further up. Maybe it could have stayed a couple more years but, you never know. They allow more view into the Common.
We have some photos.
