Helen Hayes is a brilliant MP, and if she is on the case I doubt that will happen without a very good reason.

Although, this is basically a council matter, isn't it?

Southwark just announced they have paused plans to fell the trees. Looking at alternative solutions.

Well I did, but never mind

I bet it will have been forwarded loads of times by the many they would have had to send out.

I had the same response from one of the Southwark Arborists. It is a difficult case as the trees are newer than the bridge and they need to access under the trees for the repairs. The removal of the trees have been put on hold while they investigate further to see if there is an alternative solution.
