Did you know they can cut down trees without warning?


Recommended Posts

Trees, I thought we were talking about trees and I still say the Victorians and more likely Edwardians with some of these trees did not give a fig about what they might look like or what size they might have grown to in 2007.


The infrastructure argument is for another thread surely? But I still think you see this issue with rose tinted optical ware. Although I do accept many of your point on this. Nice of me huh?


Finally, if the (Victorian or any other period) structure of one's house is threatened by a tree and one is unable to sell it either because one's buyer cannot get insurance cover, or a claim would take forever to sort out and you might want to move, and the buyer might think they are stuck with one insurance company and an uncompetitive premium which they cant change one might think the tree is inappropriate to it's surrounding? Or does the tree come first no matter what?

Fine. Discussion over, as I see no point in engaging with you any further on this issue. In fact I've thought that from when you started referring to me as 'that posh bloke'.

    • Where did I suggest that those in Southwark should pay more? I gave what seemed to be a likely reason why Lambeth is able to spend more than Southwark on street cleaning, if that is in fact the case. Local elections are coming up soon. I'm sure this  would be an excellent opportunity for you to ask the existing councillors - and other people who are standing for election - what their priorities would be if elected!
    • I'm sure they have good reasons, yet safety for the residents who pay the CT should be a priority. £63 million on Other Services?  
    • Southwark Council have a £70m budget shortfall over the next three years, largely driven by the raising cost of adult social care, children’s social care and homelessness. I am sure they’d like to prioritise street cleaning more, but this isn’t realistic. If you’re interested in a breakdown of how they spend their money, the headlines are here:  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and I’m sure there are areas where the council could make better decisions or be more efficient, but they’re working in a very challenging financial context.
    • Would you not expect clean streets to be a priority? Rather than suggesting those in Southwark pay more, would it not be more relevant that Southwark actually prioritise it and explain what they are spending our money on.
