Treehuggers needed.
Railtrack have decided to cut down perilous trees by MPC, MPV, Victoria Rd and the grove.
They haven't done this for a few years now.
If they want to spend money, you'd think they'd be better off actually repairing the bridge which is not in good condition.
As in the past, some of their choices don't coincide with the judgements of residents as to what's an amenity and what's a danger to the public.
The sub, sub contractors don't really have a clue.
If anyone is able to intervene by writing to them, calling them or even braving the deep water and actually trying to speak to the Haringey tree officer, that would be great.
Ed? Lynne? Treehuggers?

If we can't stop it being cut down, can our representatives help to make sure that the replacement actually happens?
Past dealings with the Haringey tree officer don't suggest this is likely. The last time a Poplar fell it was not replaced.
Opinions were divided over the extent of the rot though to be fair, several poplars of the same age have fallen recently nearby.
I suspect that the removal of that tree had a lot more to do with the new gated community being built there than it did with any tree risk assessments undertaken by Haringey's overworked and largely useless tree officer.
They waved the e-mail at me.
The gated community is being squeezed into the space between the western edge of MPV, the Holly Park estate and the railway line. Gruesome murders took place there years ago. I can't help but wonder what they'll call it.
Before anybody asks, we objected to its gated character and were told that its gatedness--like increased traffic flow perpetrated by gatees--was not a legitimate objection.
The council apparently like gated communities as they enhance security.
