Moat Ryecroft Lane Fowlmere Cambridgeshire
Retrospective - All trees along this section of Ryecroft lane/edge of moat consisting mainly of Elm Trees - cut back the overhanging branches growing towards roadway, pavement and houses on the opposite side of the road by 4-6m. This would alleviate the weight and sail caused by the heavy ivy growth covering the trees. This would enable us to retain the habitat, but eliminate the threat of trees falling and failing causing harm to the public. Dutch Elm Disease is rife within the moat with several trees failing regularly.
