I'm absolutely OUTRAGED (until the next MSM fishing headline) when I'll be even more OUTRAGED without reading the actual story
A spokesperson for Mitchell and Butlers said the tree was cut down after the company was advised by arboriculture experts that it caused a “serious health and safety risk”. “We are grateful to our expert contractors for warning us of this hazard so swiftly, allowing us to act before anyone was harmed."

Not if he's on to a free steak dinner with his big plate.
Hmm - my experience of arboriculture experts is that ALL trees cause a risk. It's amazing what gets cut down before it really needed to be.I'm absolutely OUTRAGED (until the next MSM fishing headline) when I'll be even more OUTRAGED without reading the actual story

I agree, but I don't think that is why this thread has been bounced after a year or so, do you ?

There is a certain risk to all arboriculture. Getting your tree cut down before it really needed to be is a real risk. Ask the vasectomy doctor.

It’s not dead. It’s just pining.
Yes - fair enough. That's basic woodland management though - not 'immediately because of a severe health and safety risk'. And if old trees are dying then they can be gradually lopped keeping them safe whilst still providing important habitat - not just felled straight away.
