Tree Removal


Tlkamk

Recommended Posts

Sadly, no experience of Southwark Council (and by my Southwark Council experience, I would expect the process to be at least 3.7million times more painful). But... it took two years to get a tree removed from outside my property as the roots were pushing the garden wall over and the leaf-fall in autumn was phenomenal. Our council had separate a separate tree committee (deciding whether a tree had preserved status or not) and shade committee (deciding whether the shade from a tree was a nuisance or not). Each committee only met once every six months and the case was bounced between the committees several times. Eventually the tree was removed, and the document that clinched it was a google earth satellite image, showing that you couldn't see the garden due to the tree overhang. Probably worth getting some pics from Google, Microsoft Bing and Apple, etc., so you can show the tree problem at different times of year.


Re getting some progress / acknowledgement from the council, have a word with your local Councillor - they are usually mentioned in the top couple of pages of the ED issues section. Ask them to find out what progress has been made. Although if you're the Rye Lane ward you haven't got a hope (useless).

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
