Mayfield Avenue Tree lives on.....

Okay so I admit to being trapped in my lounge with a beer crate watching the footie (Rooooneeyyyy...) In the meantime others have been working on our behalf..

It looks like we can put to rest the rumour of the supposed felling of the tree in Mayfield avenue roundabout. Following some sterling investigative work by neighbours Jacqueline and Andrew Holroyd it was found that Acton Housing Association would need permission from the Highways authority for such an act and no such application has been submitted.

However, we must remain vigilant as there its possible that they could apply in the future or – and councillor Terry Smith pointed this one out – they could always “accidentally” run into it, rendering the tree unsafe during the early stages of building work.

Still thanks to Jacqueline and Andrew we now have a set of contacts to tap into as needed and we also have Terry Smith ferreting away on our behalf, so fingers crossed we should be okay.
