05/04: ISLINGTON COUNCIL'S TREE POLICY
Islington Council has been redrafting its tree policy, and although IG members like trees, there are many huge forest-sized trees in Islington's small gardens, particularly sycamores, which many of us consider need to be felled and replaced with something better, be it smaller, more attractive, native, or fruit bearing. One of our members has written "A Story about a Tree" which details her struggles with her then Tree Officer to fell a next-door tree, shown below, which was entering the house by both the gutters and the cellar, and this can be read in the Library Section.
