I have tried to request e-mail contact with Mr Ben Beaumont by using the link
on this website but it does not work. So I am just posting a short message
inviting him to come to our meeting with the Tree Officer at Bury Knowle
Library tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2pm if he happens to be free at that time. This
is also a reminder to anyone else who feels like turning up.
I have read Derek's message, and while it may be true that every tree (like
every human) has a sell-by date, one cannot assume that the tree is diseased
just because someone cuts it down. That's rather like assuming a person must
have been ill if they get murdered.
Part of the blame must fall on the lawyers who place online advertisements such
as "Compensation - Local Council - No Win, No Fee!!!" They encourage people to
complain and milk the system, and this compensation culture makes the local
authority inclined to cut down trees just in case they pose a potential risk.
