Trees in Pencester Gardens
- 27 April 2017 16:21327304Two trees cut down in Pencester Gdns. Could have at least waited until the blossom had finished. Someone trying to make Dover even drearier.
- 27 April 2017 17:29327310I thought it was one tree cut down.
One of the new trees planted near the River Path has been snapped off.
Who do you contact regarding this?
We need the trees in Dover, they help with the pollution etc. - 27 April 2017 17:35327311Try this and ask for the arboric, arborri, arbrricult, failing that any tree cutter.

27 April 2017 19:57327324Those Fairground people! The ones that come and bring a bit of life to the park,pay ground damage deposit for the time of their stay not to mention ground rent for being there.Lets just ban fun and watch the grass grow instead. - 27 April 2017 19:59327325#3 Thank you for the info.
Jeff B I will have a look tomorrow am. If it was in blossom that is most sad.
Saw they took a lovely tree early in the week.
Looked at the trunk, there seemed no disease.

If you say nothing, they will think no-one has noticed. Our trees are very precious.
There was a beautiful Willow Tree by the River opposite the Riverside Centre.
The elderly in there used to look at it and enjoy it.
I went up the Council Planning Meeting to plead for it, when they were negotiating the Cycle Path.
When they felled it, they said they would replace it, but, this never happened.

Where they are planning to build the toilet block in the Riverside Garden.
If I am correct about the situation, there is a beautiful Silver Birch there.
I will be pleading it, to, at least be moved somewhere else.howard mcsweeney1 likes this - 27 April 2017 20:22327330Every time the fair leaves the gardens look in a terrible state especially if there has been wet weather but seems to correct itself in no time at all. There is just that patch that I have photographed and put on here many times near the entrance from Pencester Road. Hopefully the new DDC gardening team will sort that out.

Looked at the stump of the large London plane nearest car park it has signs of disease most likely Massaria, removing it would be the only acceptable long term cure.Jan Higgins likes thisArte et Marte - 3 May 2017 10:02327726Have a look at the stumps of the Cherry Trees. They are not diseased.
Whatever trees they fell, they should be replaced.howard mcsweeney1 likes this - Reginald Barrington

3 May 2017 12:38327731Those are very old cherry trees though and the life expectancy is only around 20 years and then bits start falling off, and there are plenty of fungal diseases that won't show in the stump
Wether or not they replace them I know not but they can't put them in the same place as they would not grow.Jan Higgins likes thisArte et Marte - Captain Haddock

3 May 2017 23:45327756This would not be the first time some Dovorians have lost their cherry with the arrival of fairground workers. Just saying.Guest 1914 and Jan Higgins like this"The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".
