Crouch End Playing Fields, Park Road, Hornsey, London, N8 8JP
Five Day Notice. One of the Oaks next to the courts has become unstable and needs major work, which is arranged for tomorrow (Saturday). As a precaution we have closed the Greenway footpath each side to divert pedestrians through the site. Note added 01.04.2025: After a site meeting with representatives, it was agreed that the tree will now be crown reduced by 2-3m in height and the laterals balanced accordingly (the Oak tree does not have an open grown). This is due to elevate the fact that a major significant primary root close to the buttress was intentionally sawn through and hence jeopardising the Oak trees structural root integrity and stability. The damaged root is to remain.
