ranworthbreeze Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 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.

marshman Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If the tree is falling down then I think any bats will move. They won't need anybody's permission. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
