Fairfax Avenue tree maintenance

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured a number of tree repair works on Fairfax Avenue. John Fareham says, “On receiving a number of different complaints from local residents about the state of the trees here, we referred them at once to the officers who now inform us that steps have either been taken or scheduled for the appropriate time of year. These are as follows:- Tree vandalised at nos. 170-172: All major branches were removed from this so it has been removed and a new one will be planted in the autumn or winter. Silver birch tree blown down at no.134: This had a large section of trunk still hanging there – it too has been removed and will also be replaced in the autumn or winter. Disused cherry tree at nos. 164-168: This was cut down but not replaced. A replacement will be planted in the autumn or winter. Leaning cherry tree near no. 60: This has fungus growing on it lower down. The tree’s health will be checked on and pruning undertaken as appropriate.”
