Do carry a phone, preferably with a camera. Do think about getting any DNA before showering although he's probably bathed by now

It may be too late but if there it isn't it may be possible for the police to take DNA that can be taken from the physical contact. Do report it to the police as an emergency and give as full a description as possible as soon as possible. Good luck

I am not sure if the local authority underwrite their own liability or ever did. I think it more likely today at least that claims are underwritten by a firm of insurers, certainly since the advent of compulsary competative tendering. I'm happy to be informed otherwise though. By the way, standards of workmanship and advice on procedures in work are set out by the Arboricultural Association.

The council are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of all street trees and public park trees. This will be backed by public liability insurance against claims for injury to person(s) or damage to property resulting from the councils negligence in having the trees properly and safely maintained.

It's always good to question work from those that are qualified to give answers. Regarding the tree with cavities, well there are cavities and there are cavities. It depends greatly where the cavity is on the tree, it maybe in the crown and water penetration has worked it's way into the heart wood of a major limb or deeper into the trunk, for that reason the strength of the tree has been compromised. Cavities in mature trees are invariably the result of poor or no formative pruning in earlier life, interestingly I feel though, alternatives such as putting in drains for cavities to clear and heal are disregarded in favour of the more common and drastic solution of limb removal or felling. These operations are of course expensive and will run into several thousands of pounds per day for a team to work on a large tree. It also depends on where the tree is positioned. Council public liability insurance will stipulate trees to be removed or to have high percentage crown reductions to err on the side of safety.

What you did was commendable. Many wouldn't have done what you did do

I agree. I think the whole thing is silly. I cycle this space daily and nine times out of ten, depending on the time of day, I'll just get off and walk as it's more trouble than it's worth to upset the natural inclination of persons to walk across the road to the shops, or for whatever reason, than to continue cycling the 100 Meters or so to the junction with HSBC/Primark. A very poor piece of thinking in my opinion altogether. Cyclists are at an advantage of speed over pedestrians and can well afford a short diversion around the back of the Morissons complex to allow that space to be used by pedestrians and buses collecting and dropping off passengers only.

It's pear rust

It is worth noting that when the noise team come to make their assessment from the interior of your home, they have a different reference number, 6 digits, from the one you can get from the person who answers the phone when you ring in on 020 7525 5777, which has 10 digits and begins with 800. You must ask for these numbers, they are not volunteered.

I think it a credit to those that came to the meeting how they put themselves over considering the force of emotion involved and I certainly felt it in the room. I think for many who experience this kind of protracted noise nuisance and consequent anxiety, depression and a dozen other emotional states, it is all too easy to go under and begin to accept that,'oh well, that's just the way things are'. It takes a great resolve and a lot of energy to pursue a matter like this through due process, all the smoke and mirrors of licensing law, at what point a landlord is responsible for the behaviour of the customer and at what point they aren't. Those affected are at least fortunate in that there are a number of you and so don't need to suffer this alone where it would be easy to be dismissed as a crank.

The alchohol industry are playing a very schizophrenic game, on the one hand, they are a hard nosed business that exist to make a profit out of you and on the other a friendly uncle who gives you somewhere to go and something to do in the evening....no wonder residents and the management are confused

A message to me says 'TGE have been clever and asked for all complaints to be made to the pub management, thus avoiding formal recording of such complaints'.
