Try oru space with Michelle. Think it runs on Wednesday evenings. She’s great. I also think the new casa core place does one but haven’t tried it. -

The OP is simply asking a question? and as a few people on this forum seem to know about every subject posted 🙄 maybe that was the reason for asking?😉 It's been such a dry summer so far, maybe "some trees" are becoming less stable due to lack of rainfall and needed some safety pollarding work? (another question🙂) -

No offence, but why not start from the assumption that the trees team in Southwark Council know what they're doing because it's their job and aren't a bunch of ecogenocidal maniacs looking for excuses to cut back trees? I'm not an expert but if they're not coming back to cut down the rest, then it seems like pollarding. It always looks ugly at first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollarding -
It looks like the branches overhung the entry way to the toilets. There's a lot of paranoia about at the moment about branch drop after a couple of sad accidents which have happened recently where beloved trees were propped up but still dropped branches then everyone jumps up and asks why nothing was done before. You might remember when the massive oak fell over in Peckham Rye by the skating park, thankfully no one was hurt. I've noticed notices in almost every public space warning about branch drop and some trees have had barriers put underneath them etc. These things seem to come into vogue and then pass again. I expect local authorities in their regular meetings have all been discussing their risk exposure and issues of corporate responsibility etc....and someone will have been assigned the task (and responsibility) of making everything all right. Perhaps this tree fell victim to that. I doubt there is malice and something they feel is safer/appropriate etc will take its place in due course. I don't doubt cutting it back is an over reaction but at the same time we all bellow at them when things go wrong so there is a difficult path to navigate. It was a chestnut by the look of it, so not particularly rare I have plenty of saplings growing through my beds if they wish to replace like for like.
