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.
