Falling timber seems to be following me around - a large branch has split from the trunk of a plane tree and fallen (about 30 mins or so ago) onto the pavement outside the old Curry Cabin - tried to contact relevant Southwark dept but nothing seems to be open unless someone has another number. Don't think the rest of the tree is dangerous but I'm no wood doctor.

Hi again, Maxxi... two quick updates.


Firstly, I noticed that the cut up branch was stacked in the Curry Cabin forecourt for most of yesterday, but was removed by the end of the day. But I haven't heard anything formal from the tree team yet.


Secondly, someone PMd me to say that it was witnessed that the branch was broken off by a lorry (am being specifically vague in public), so hopefully the dry weather wasn't a significant factor.


Thanks yet again for posting this, will update when I know more specifics.

I've now heard back from the tree officer... sadly, the split in the trunk of the tree runs too far down, so the tree will definitely have to be removed before it dies and becomes a safety hazard... probably in August sometime.


Have asked to plant a new replacement, but there are technical issues that need to be overcome...

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
