Shropshire Council has programmed important tree safety works to some of the trees that line the eastern bank of Hurley Brook, behind Dyas Close, Shifnal.
Work is to be carried out to the Lawson cypress trees, after a number of incidents recently of branch or whole tree failure from amongst their number. No work is planned at this time to any of the other tree species within the belt of trees.
However, the council recognises that uncertainty about the planned tree works is causing considerable concern amongst some local residents. In the circumstances, the decision has been made to postpone the planned tree works for the time being, pending a programme to raise local awareness about the work to the cypress trees and the need for it.
