Stop Hertsmere Council from chopping our remaining 2 Blossom trees down!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We've been trying to stop Hertsmere council - namely the Highway Asset management team - from Chopping the last two Passard Plum trees left in Neville Close.
An independent tree surgeon has looked at them and thinks he can save them. So we need authorisation from hertsmere to allow him to do this.
They say we shouldn't be paying for the work, as it's their fault the trees are in the state their in. So the cost is estimated at £320.
Please help to get this viral work done, by someone we trust - so if the trees, planted in 1933, can be saved then they have a fighting chance!
Bless you!
