New Tree Strap

Sent to Bromley Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1801105.
Tree outside 76 Wood Lodge Lane West Wickham Kent BR4 9NA. Tree planted a couple of years ago growing well but tree strap is cutting into bark and needs to be released before it kills the tree. Have attempted to remove it but cannot get anything in to cut strap.

This has been done although old strap is still there. Going forward all the trees planted in the last 3 years need checking. When out on my voluntary dog walking walks I have noticed quite a few trees with incorrectly fitted tree straps in the West Wickham/Hayes/Keston area.
