A tree goes under the saw (File photo)
Since Oliver Elliott alerted us to the drastic tree surgery in Cheam the same has been happening in the Ringstead Road and Westmead Road area of Carshalton.
Surgery? Butchery seems a more appropriate.
The avenue of greenery midway along Westmead Road has been swept away and the once majestic trees left with just a handful of leaves.
I spoke to one of the surgeons, who assured me the trees would soon “green up” again. I only hope he is right.
