The oak tree is small but growing, and its roots are deepening and thickening. It will soon become difficult to remove both it, and the other vegetation, without damaging the structure of the roundabout itself. All the vegetation on the roundabout, and on the three bollards nearby, needs to be removed else it will restrict drivers' view and make the roundabout unsafe.

  • These are birch trees. This is not one season’s growth but a longer neglect. These trees will have roots that undermine the structure of the roundabout and cause significantly more expensive damage than the cost of managing them regularly to prevent this extent of growth. One stitch in time saves nine.
