The mulberry tree outside the Arc Cinema is at risk of being permanently damaged as a result of the support band, which is cutting into the outer layers of the trunk. If the band is not released and replaced with one which allows unrestricted growth, the band will eventually cause the tree to die. This was previously reported at the beginning of February 2025, but no action has been taken.
