Execution? For heaven’s sake, it’s a tree that’s very likely diseased and/or hazardous to humans. The council will replace it and there’s nothing at all stopping anyone from planting their own either. Go to the Wildlife Centre on Marsden Road and buy £3 treelets and plant away! Or grow them from pips/acorns etc. These are much better forms of action than typing something to send into the ether.

It’s not. It’s a reasonable and rational assumption, as is pointing out it could also be a danger to wildlife and humans. Both are more likely than suggesting it’s just a council officer’s  whim to destroy a fully healthy/non-hazardous tree.

1) it's not the council that is cutting the tree down. It's the company owned by the flats in the block behind.

2) the tree is riddled with fungus - there is a arboriculture report that shows this. People don't spend thousands to cut trees down for no reason.

3) it's not a matter for Southwark Council because Tulse Hill is in Lambeth...

It is.  I'm attaching a copy of pp.1-6 of the Tree Condition Report, for the background information.  You can get the full report (5.4MB) from the above link.  At page 13 is the succinct:

5 Recommendations

5.1 T1 – Cedar of Lebanon – fell to ground level as soon as is reasonably practicable.

  • Thanks 1

Summary:

"5.1 The cedar tree is aged and fully mature. It has, in times past, split along the axis of the main union between the two leading stems. This in itself, has caused the tree to become hazardous.
 

5.2 Fungal colonisation by the brown-rotting Dyer’s Mazegill has weakened the root-plate so that it can no longer safely anchor and support the tree. Secondary colonisation has significantly degraded the inner trunk wood and continues to do so.
 

5.3 I conclude, with regret, that the tree is now unsafe and in the first stages of structural failure. Due to its location in an area of high vehicular and pedestrian use it cannot be safety retained."

    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
    • After looking through a few decorator recommendations on here and getting some quotes, I hired Kam to paint ceiling, walls, door, skirting etc in my hallway and bathroom. Really happy with the results and the experience with Kam. He is professional, friendly and polite: someone I was happy and comfortable to have in my home (I live on my own and this is not always the case) and implicitly trusted to be there when I was away. The price was reasonable, his communication was great and he was patient with some changes I wanted to make and willing to try painting tiled floors with a particular paint I found and worked meticulously to get a great finish with it and all aspects of the job.  He also went above and beyond to tidy up some painting jobs I'd done myself. Thoroughly recommend.   Kam: 07949507412 email: [email protected]
