As per previous posts we had a terrible decision to take regarding the horse chestnut tree at the entrance.
This was diseased and after carrying out an x-ray we have deemed that the Horse Chestnut at the entrance unfortunately needs to be felled as it was a health risk
The felling has been done
We now have a significant woodpile £10 per barrow, £20 per large cross section
