Over the past few years a considerable number of saplings have been planted in Sutherland Avenue (BR5 1QY). I replaced a number of broken support ties but many of the support poles have now rotted and the trees are un-supported. I walked along the road today and whilst some have grown well and are quite firm, quite a number still have small trunks (less than 50mm. diam.) and are definitely still need of support, as once in leaf they are going to be at the mercy of strong winds - a SW wind tends to be funnelled down this road and it can be like a howling gale!! Could you please get your contractor to check them out and re-support where necessary. As a Tree Friend, I am trying to get hold of some more ties so that I can replace those that are missing, but I cannot do that where the poles have rotted.
