Planned health and safety tree works
Find out about our planned health and safety treeworks.
For medium and large-sized trees, it is normal for the tree felling and stump removal to be done in 2 stages. This is due to the differing equipment required.
Proposed work 2023:
- King Georges recreation Ground - 10 to 13 October
- Plough Pond - 30 October
- Church Road Worcester Park - 3 November
- Beeline Way - 10 October
- Blagdon Road Rec - 17 November
- Tolworth Court Farm - 20 to 22 November
- Kingston Road Rec Allotments - 23 to 24 November
- Elm Road Rec - 27 November to 1 December
- Beverley Park - 4 to 8 December
Every year the council undertakes a cycle of routine health and safety inspections as part of the council's cyclical tree maintenance programme.
The trees are inspected using Visual Tree Assessment (VTA) techniques, a standard approach to tree risk assessment, involving the diagnosis of structural defects, the evaluation of their significance from visible signs and the application of arboricultural biomechanical knowledge.
A number of issues were raised regarding the health of a number of trees. As a result, the following essential arboricultural safety works have been instructed.
Works will take place between 10 October and 8 December 2023.
