maxxi Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 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.

rch Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Thanks for posting this, Maxxi... I wasn't around yesterday and therefore missed it. I've emailed the tree officer to ask what caused it and what will happen to the tree, will let you know. Hopefully this wasn't a consequence of the dry weather...

maxxi Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hope it will lead to the other trees in that stretch being checked for good health.

rch Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 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.

rch Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 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...

rch Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yes, it was struck by a lorry, as per my above post. I know who it was, so I will have a word at some point. And I also smiled at the Acorn coincidence... great minds, etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/197758-fallen-tree-branch-lordship-lane/#findComment-1263383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
