Three tree grilles need removing before they cut into and kill the trees. Crooked Billet triangle island, High St, Penge, jct Green Lane

Three tree grilles need removing before they cut into and kill the trees. Crooked Billet triangle island, High St, Penge, jct Green Lane I reported these 6 months to a year ago but no action taken. All I can see is there is now a fourth tree grille with no tree in it. I guess that tree has already died and been removed. Please save the other trees now! The time to remove the grilles is BEFORE the trunk and roots become irretrievably entangled. This has happened at Beckenham Junction station car park where one tree after another roots or trunk have npbeen enmeshed, strangle and the trees have died. I also reported two trees on council footway by the Ctpryatal Palace Parade Bus Station in a similar situation. There is no point aspiring to plant trees and claiming credit, if they are doomed to die by the fancy but deadly cast iron grilles put around them on planting while saplings.

Hi. Thanks for the updates. I did also at the same time, separate FMS report and photos, report two identical grilles about to kill specially planted street trees by Crystal Palace Bus Station, C P Parade. On the road side of the bus station, about 10m from the bus station counter. On the pavement. This was about a year ago. Trees planted when the c. £400k bus terminus was built, presumably as landscaping or to replace trees felled to create the station. If these two grilles have not also been removed, please attend to them also. I do not go past this location now, so cannot report directly. As before, it is sad and a waste of public money, to plant trees with such rings of cast iron ensnarement which, if not removed, will just kill the poor growing saplings. There were many trees in the Beckenham Junction Station forecourt car park, but they have become entangled and strangled by the fancy, ill conceived tree grilles. Maybe 8 trees killed and 6 left, and these now doomed too. You can see the empty grilles still.
