Fell Monterey Cypress tree A monterey cypress tree that was affected by the storms at the weekend, half of the tree has come away and is being attended to by Jamie from Trees in Need. However, with the weight removed from one side, the tree is now very dangerous and needs removing. It is right in the car park area and needs to be dealt with ASAP. It has already damaged a neighbours car on the other side of the wall. With more storms expected at the weekend we urgently need permission to remove the tree please.
