Colin James Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 We have had some very strong winds hit our county recently and I noticed this tree leaning over in Belmont. It will not take much more for it to collapse, so they will need to be quick if they want to save it. Can BB upright this tree and put some kind of support in place or is it already doomed?

H.Wilson Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hopefully that can sort out this problem before the tree dies. Roots looks like they are still ok but it will need attention sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jango1969 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Brace the tree in that position. Advertise the Leaning Tree Of Belmont. Works in Pisa with the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Thomas Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 They want to cut down trees in Edgar St for development and a whole load of tree huggers appear armed with banners, video and scarves. A single tree in Belmont in need of rescuing and hardly any comments or views and not a single tree hugger in sight..funny that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly pass items I've reported several times over years - nothing ever done. I know all the reports with Amey were simply deleted the day they packed up, which didn't help anyone.

I know that feeling, all we can do my friend is continue and hope that they start picking up the baton each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
