GRIMSBY DOCTOR GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO FELL GARDEN TREE DAMAGED BY STORM CIARA

IF at first you don't succeed, try, try again. . . 

Having failed in an earlier application to have a mature  tree in his Grimsby garden felled, surgeon Sri Varah has now been given the go-ahead.

Because of damage by Storm Ciara, the tree - a cedar - at 25a Augusta Street has been deemed dangerous following an inspection by North East Lincolnshire Council's trees and woodlands officer, Paul Chaplin.

It is understood the storm caused a large part of the tree  to snap and fall to the ground at around 11am on  February 9.

This damaged the fence at the rear side of the property and narrowly missed a pedestrian.  

The felling of the cedar will be a loss to the street scene, but the council is recommending that it should be replaced - preferably by a Scots pine, thought to be a more wind-resistant species.
