Babergh District Council’s district-wide tree survey programme moves its attention to Great Cornard in the next few weeks.
Work is due to start on more than 100 trees earmarked for maintenance or removal on Babergh-owned or maintained land to the north of Pot Kiln Road, Great Cornard - with further tree surgery work to the south of Pot Kiln Road to be carried out later in the year.
Some trees that have been found to be dangerous, or inhibiting the growth of other better-quality trees will be felled. Others will have branches removed and many more will have general maintenance work carried out.
The work to the trees will be carried out at locations across Great Cornard in Riverside Walk, Station Road, Poplar Road, Hawthorn Road, Sycamore Road, Cherry Tree Road, Chelsworth Avenue, Lindsey Avenue, Shelley Avenue, Kersey Avenue, Betty Cocker Grove, Maldon Court, Cornerth Crescent, Pot Kiln Road and Oxford Close.
David Pizzey, Babergh’s Aboricultural Officer, said: “As part of Babergh District Council’s new systematic tree inspection, maintenance and surgery regime, a detailed examination of each tree in question has been carried out.
“The scheme is designed to remove problem trees, allow other trees space to develop, undertake basic maintenance needs and enhance the overall quality of the living environment for residents.
“This is part of a district-wide tree survey programme which started a few years ago in Shotley and is working its way across Babergh.”
Maps of the areas where work is planned are available to view in Babergh’s offices in Hadleigh. Members of the public who would like to look at them are asked to call Jeanita Buckle, Babergh’s Administrative Officer (Horticulture), on 01473 826654 to arrange an appointment. ENDS
