Tree Maintenance
As part of our Management Company responsibility to manage the amenity areas of the estate, we have recently undertaken an audit of the 13 trees that fall under our remit. If you click on the link at the bottom of this document you can view the report in full.
We are pleased to report that the trees are generally in good health, although the audit report recommended a number of minor maintenance actions, involving some pruning and removal of areas of deadwood, which we’ll be actioning over the coming months.
The report identifies one tree, the Hornbeam at the Royal Victoria Park entrance to the estate (T1 on the tree map below), as possibly needing dismantling and removal because it has large amounts of deadwood and cavities within its structure. However, after taking residents' views into account, we have decided to pursue the other suggestion put forward by the tree surgeons which is to preserve the tree and manage its condition. We will therefore be undertaking a minimal amount of removal of deadwood only. The Hornbeam will need to be closely monitored in the coming years and if its condition deteriorates we may have to consider its removal.
Following feedback from residents, for the Copper Beech we will undertake deadwood removal and a minimal amount of pruning to ensure its health but maintain its overall shape.
The tree work should be completed some time in 2018 once BPDMCL have appointed a new gardening contractor.
