Riverside Tree Poses Danger On River Wensum

[ranworthbreeze]

Dear all,

We have been informed that a riverside tree next to the Norwich Playhouse on the River Wensum is currently hanging down over the water and poses a danger to passing craft.

A tree surgeon is scheduled to be attending tomorrow (30/08) and so we are advising all craft to stay well clear until remedial works are complete.

Kind regards,
Tom

I hope they are going to check it for evidence of bats first!!!!!

Be careful what you say in jest 

[marshman]

I wasn't jesting! The BA check stuff like that rigorously and was merely hoping that they had been through the hoops!! They expect private individuals to do so so I guess they will have asked the trees owner to have done likewise!!!

If the tree is falling down then I think any bats will move. They won't need anybody's permission.

Spot on.  If something is a serious danger to the public, forget the wildlife, especially in this case as bats will go to another tree.  If it`s a really big tree, they may be able to sell it to a timber yard

I wanted to put a Thankyou and a smile to that too Speedy.

If it's where I think it is, near St George's Bridge, there won't be much river traffic up there. 

The Playhouse has a very good bar incidentally

Yeah, the bats could never afford it without crowd funding.

Dear all,

We have received confirmation that the overhanging tree has now been cleared.
