    Hi. The tree has fallen backwards onto other trees so is being supported rather than falling. It is dying because the leaves are browning, confirming massive root damage. The building in front is the bin coral in the car parking area of flats 29-39 Dennetts Close. The ‘black path’ can be accessed via Sherwood Drive (next road along). To the left of the tree is where children play/make dens. Dogs also use the area

    Tree fallen down on the black path, blocking the pathway. Only passable by pedestrians on foot. What three words: lotteries, lunge, scrubber
