I am currently trying to get the powers that be to
understand that many residents in Oscott like me feel the way the old forest
type street trees in Oscott are not being pruned vigorously enough.
I am not calling for
them to be all pollarded but just pruned more than they are in many cases.
I am continually being told that they are and being quoted
Council and government statics on the subject and that minimum standards are
being met.
If this minimum standard about how trees are pruned is
correct then the minimum standard of pruning needs changing in my view.
With that in mind I am lobbying hard Amey, the Birmingham
City Council and with the help of the Perry Barr MP the government on the
subject.
To use the popular in
word I would like to “engage” with Oscott residents on the subject.
- If you live in Oscott in a road with large forest type trees in it what do you think?
- Do you think the trees in your road are not being pruned enough?
- Do you think the trees in your road have been pruned well?
If you would like to let me know your
view on the subject I will pass on your comments.

Or if you have one of my “Tell me
your concerns" cards send it in.
I am sure you will hear a lot more on this subject from
others as the local elections draw closer! But I would like to know your views
now.
I may not win the battle to get the large forest type trees
in Oscott pruned more vigorously where needed but I will give it a go.
