Trees across Pendle are set to be cut down amid fears rotten branches could fall on passing members of the public
.
Councillor Nadeem Ahmed, Leader of Pendle Borough Council, said: “Unfortunately, a lot of diseased trees need to be felled or pruned in all areas of Pendle. The decision was not taken lightly, but unfortunately there is no other way to deal with the disease and public safety is our priority." Phil Riley, the council's green spaces manager, is calling on green-fingered members of the public to get involved with a series of upcoming volunteering events. He said: “Due to the heatwave and drought in the summer, and some acts of vandalism, quite a few of these trees didn’t survive.
Thursday 2 & Saturday 18 February 10am – 2pm, Ball Grove Country Park, Colne BB8 7HG – meet Phil Riley and Chris McKee at the Spring Grove junction with Keighley Road for woodland management, thinning and coppicing. Bring a packed lunch.
