We had a similar situation outside our house in Waghorn Street, which is the Lane Ward After many emails and phone calls someone from Southwark Council eventually visited and said that the tree would not be replaced as the pavement was not wide enough (2.1m from memory). Not long after this the original site of tree was tidied up, i.e. neatly squared off, then later tarmacced over. Needless to say this was disappointing. If there's any advice on what steps we could follow to get any type of tree replanted please post them here. I've actually seen freshly planted saplings around the borough on pavements which are clearly below the width threshold so I guess getting a new tree is just a matter of engaging the right people?
