Around 200 trees will be chopped down by the council in West Berkshire in the coming months.
Around 200 trees will be chopped down by the council in West Berkshire in the coming months after a tree survey found a number of ash trees affected by dieback that pose a risk of falling on to the highway.
The council says 25 trees will be removed along the north side of Ermin Street near Hill Drop Lane in Lambourn, a further 120 along the A339 by Shaw Park, and 37 along the A4 to Sulhamstead Hill. A handful of other species — including poplars, willows and elms — also require felling because of decline.
“We anticipate that natural regeneration of local shrubs will fill the gaps,” said the council.
