The felling included a large oak, according to ward councillor Amanda Barnes-Andrews,.
After what’s described as “speedy action” by the council’s trees officer working with the school, remaining trees now have a tree preservation order (TPO) placed upon them, displayed on a nearby telegraph pole when photographed on September 29..
A TPO is designed to protect specified trees from being cut down, topped, or uprooted, and from wilful damage and more.
