After consultations with Somerset Highways it became clear that, for safety reasons, a significant reduction needed to be carried out as per the photo.  This is, at least, better than losing the tree completely and we can hope for some new growth in time.   We have asked for the work to be done as soon as possible, before the nesting…

The Parish Council have removed the bench from under the Sycamore Tree for the time being.  Just in case you wondered where it was.

If anyone has got a nice digital photo of the Sycamore tree that they could email me I would be very grateful as this may help in our discussions with Highways, Woodland Trust and the AONB.

Update:

The Parish Council are waiting for more information from Highways. We are also in contact with the AONB and the Ancient Tree Forum.  As soon as we have more news we will let everyone in the village know. No work will be carried out on our Sycamore without more consultation.
